China Eastern Airlines has taken delivery of its 50th Airbus A330 aircraft.
The new A330-200 was handed over to the airline in a ceremony celebrated at the Airbus factory in Toulouse, and comes equipped with 233 seats – 30 in business class and 203 in economy.
“We are very happy to take delivery of this 50th A330. It symbolically represents our 30 years of partnership with Airbus,” said Ma Xulun, general manager of China Eastern Airlines.
“The A330 has been key to our expansion and competiveness in international markets. We are looking forward to many more passengers to fly Airbus aircraft while enjoying the best service from China Eastern.”
Shanghai-based China Eastern began operating the A330 in 2006 and now operates one of the world’s largest fleets of the aircraft.
China Eastern’s total passenger fleet now exceeds 400 aircraft, including single-aisle Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s, and twin-aisle A330s and B777s. It also has outstanding orders for more than 200 new aircraft.
