Across China: Beijing

Homemade Airbus A320

The first Airbus A320 plane assembled in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin will be delivered to Sichuan Airlines on June 23, Airbus CEO Tom Enders said at the 48th Paris Air Show yesterday.

The plane made its maiden flight from the Tianjin Binhai International Airport in May. Airbus earlier said 11 of the aircraft are due for delivery this year, Enders said.
