New A330 delivery underscores the jetliner’s continued popularity in China
23 June 2011 News in brief

China Southern Airlines has received its latest A330-200, with handover occurring today during a ceremony at the 2011 Paris Air Show. This delivery reinforces the A330’s status as China’s most popular widebody aircraft – with a total of 77 jetliners now in service across the country. China Southern Airlines will mark another milestone later this year when it becomes the first Chinese operator of Airbus’ 21st century flagship A380.
