26th Chinese-assembled aircraft delivered to West Air

Chinese private airline West Air has received its first Airbus aircraft, an A319 assembled at the A320 Family final assembly line in Tianjin. This 26th Airbus jetliner produced in China will be deployed on the carrier’s domestic routes from Chongqing to Wenzhou and via Shijiazhuang to Yantai. With the aircraft’s service entry, West Air will join a growing list of Airbus operators in China – with orders to date for nearly 600 A320 Family jetliners. West Air also is the eighth operator to receive aircraft produced at the Tianjin facility.
