Airbus sees mixed fortunes with deliveries of its smallest jetliner

Air China anticipates receiving five more A319neos between January and October 2025. Their report for H1 2024 revealed plans to add 30 aircraft from the A320neo family during H2 2024 and into 2025 without specifying models. Additionally, they plan to receive COMAC C909 jets within the same period.

Since February 2022 when China Southern Airlines received its first-ever A319neos (B-328A and B-328C), both planes have logged significant flight hours and cycles as per ch-aviation records. During this time frame, Airbus acquired a majority stake in the Bombardier CSeries program through its partnership with Quebec Government's ACLP.

Both the A220-300 and the A319neo are equipped with Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan engines; however, only LEAP-1A engines are used on Chinese-delivered models. Despite similarities between them regarding passenger capacity and engine options, airlines seem to favor larger models like the more fuel-efficient A220-300 over smaller variants such as the unpopular A220-100 or even possibly phasing out future demand for private-use-oriented jets like those within ACJ lineups due largely due their added operational costs versus alternatives available today which include offerings made directly under new generation airframe designs found throughout latest releases across global markets including many recent upgrades targeting environmentally
