The Airbus A320 final assembly line project in Tianjin has currently received 284 orders for Airbus A320 aircraft from China's domestic market, some of which will not be delivered until 2016. Dong Weizhong, Director of the Tianjin Binhai New Area Aviation Industry Park (also referred to as Tianjin Aviation City) said on April 16.
On the same day, Shang Luguo, General Manager of Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company, also revealed that it is predicted the Airbus A320 final assembly line project in Tianjin will reach an annual production capacity of 48 aircraft by 2011. According to this the six years from 2011 to 2016, the Airbus A320 final assembly line project in Tianjin will produce 288 aircraft, and almost all of them will be bought by the Chinese domestic market.
Shang said that the financial crisis has had a negative impact on global aviation markets, so it has been difficult for Airbus to avoid the impact. He added, however, that even if Airbus no longer receives orders from one place, it may still have new orders from another place. In general, the financial crisis has not had too much impact on Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company.
A report issued by Tianjin Aviation City indicates that China has to date become the world's second largest aviation market, preceded only by the US. Over the next two decades, the Chinese mainland is likely to purchase 2,670 aircraft. At present, Airbus and many other large international aviation manufacturing enterprises are increasing their investments in China while scaling back their investments abroad. These favorable factors have all created precious opportunities for the development of the aviation industry in Tianjin Aviation City.
