Airbus Secures $120 Aircraft Order from China During Scholz Visit

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Airbus has secured an order for 120 passenger aircraft from China during his visit to the country. This order is a significant win for Airbus, as China is the world’s second-largest aviation market. China often uses high-level visits to seal corporate deals, and Airbus has benefited from this practice in the past. The order comes at a time of increased competition between Airbus and Boeing, as well as China’s efforts to develop its own aviation industry. Scholz’s visit to China aimed to strengthen trade relations and resolve issues related to investment.
