China Southern ordered five Airbus A380

Chinanews, Jan. 26 - The French Ministry of Transport announced a few
days ago that the Airbus SAS would seal a purchase contract later this
week with China Southern Airlines for five A380s. According to Airbus
A380's current catalogue price of 280 million US dollar for each plane,
five A380s would cost a total of 1.4 billion US dollars.
Having attracted 14 customers and 149 orders for the A380 all over the
world, Airbus has been in frequent contact with Chinese carriers, hoping
that its A380s can fly in China's sky. Before this announcement, there
was a rumor that China Southern and Air China would order ten A380s. But
the fact was that no A380 was included in Airbus's two subsequent big
orders with Chinese carriers. Thus, it became doubtful if A380 would soon
land on Chinese soil.
Will China be the next buyer of the A380? A concerned person from the
Public Relations Department of Airbus China said that so far a few
Chinese carriers had showed interest in the A380 and were still in
contact with his company on this plane. The China Southern Airlines'
spokesman said that it was the current aviation market which would
determine when and what plane it would buy. Meanwhile, the airline also
had to take cost into careful consideration.
