Airbus secured an order from China Eastern Airlines for 25 A330neo aircraft valued at approximately
$9.35 billion, with deliveries scheduled between 2029 and 2033. The airline said the aircraft will support the expansion of its domestic and international network, replace older widebody jets, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce long-term operating and maintenance costs as passenger demand continues to recover.
The order further strengthens Airbus' leadership in China, where the European planemaker has already secured more than 200 aircraft orders this year. It also highlights continued demand for next-generation widebody aircraft despite supply chain constraints affecting the aerospace industry. For Airbus, the agreement reinforces its long-term growth strategy in one of the world's largest aviation markets and deepens its relationship with one of China's biggest state-owned carriers.
