In the next 20 years, China will need 100-150 planes? On July 6, Airbus held the A220 media briefing in Beijing. Wang Zhe, director of the marketing director of the Airbus of the Airbus, introduced reporters that the A220 series is a single -channel aircraft of 100 to 150 -seater. 741 orders. However, the A220 has not yet received an order in China, and Airbus uses it as the focus of future sales.

Airbus is so confident that the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Civil Aviation Development Plan issued by the China Civil Aviation Administration proposed to build and improve the modern national comprehensive airport system, convenient and efficient aviation transportation network system, safe and reliable production operation guarantee system " Three systems; improve the layout of non -hub airports, build a new number of non -hub airports, and focus on the deployment of airports in the central and western regions and border areas in the central and western regions. According to the plan, by 2025, the number of domestic civil transport airports will reach 270, and it will further increase. At the same time, according to the market research of airbasus, the domestic civil aviation market will add 3,000 cities (routes) in the next 10 years, most of which will be located in the central and western and third -tier cities markets.

Due to the different levels of economic development in China, the level of aviation transportation development in the central and western regions and second and third -tier cities in China is also significantly different from first -tier cities in the East developed regions. At present, most of the domestic market's single -channel aircraft is a large single -channel aircraft with a number of seats close to or greater than 160 seats, which is much higher than the number of seats required to connect the routes that connect the central and western regions and the second- and third -tier markets. Wang Zhe believes that the development of China's future route market needs more advanced and efficient small single -channel aircraft to meet market demand more accurately.

In the 100-150 small single-channel aircraft market, the Airbus A220 series aircraft is quite competitive. As a new design model, the A220 has extremely high range adaptability, the maximum range can reach 6,400 kilometers, and can fly regional routes within 5 hours.

In addition, due to advanced and efficient air dynamic design and 40%of advanced materials (carbon fiber, titanium alloy, etc.), and inclusive PW1500G gear transmission turbofan engines, Airbus A220 and the same -level models of the previous generation It can save up to 25%of operating costs, reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 25%, and reduce no noise marks by 50%. It is understood that a total of 15 suppliers in China provide materials, components and assembly services to Airbus A220. Among them, the aviation industry Shen Fei International is one of the most important suppliers of the Airbus A220 project, and supplies the front fuselage, rear fuselage, mid -body, cabin and tail vertebrae workpack for Airbus A220.

As of May 2022, more than 25 customers in the world have ordered 741 aircraft A220 series, of which more than 210 have been delivered to 15 operators into use, with more than 300 destinations and more than 700 aircraft routes.

According to the latest global market forecast (2021-2040), the world's 100-150 aircraft markets will need 7250 new aircraft to add new capacity and update old aircraft in the next 20 years. Among them, the Chinese market will need about 1,000 100-150 planes. Airbus hopes to get a share in this market.
