Chinese
Individual Purchases Airbus Aircraft
Airbus
recently announced that a Chinese individual has purchased three
Airbus jets, which are due for delivering in 2006. It is said that
the three aircrafts will be fitted out and furnished in Dallas,
Texas. It will be the first of Airbus business jets to enter
the Chinese market, and this is the first private customer. These
planes usually sell for anything between US $55.4 million and US
$66.5 million, so the three planes will cost well over US $1 billion.
Airbus rival Boeing says it also received an order from a
Chinese individual in 2005 valued at US $44.5 million.
