China Southern Airlines signed a separate contract for 10 A330-200s. The announcements of the large aircraft order and industrial cooperation on the A350 coincided with high-profile meetings taking place this week in Beijing between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chinese President Hu Jintao, both of whom were present for the signing of the MOU by Airbus COO Fabrice Bregier and National Development and Reform Commission Vice Minister Chen Deming.

According to Airbus, the MOU states that Airbus and NDRC will “carry out high-level industrial cooperation on A350XWB development and manufacturing work in order to enhance a closer strategic cooperation relationship between Airbus and the Chinese aviation industry. Airbus confirms its intent to manufacture 5% of the airframe of the A350 XWB aircraft in China.” It added that a joint venture manufacturing plant will be established in Harbin in 2009 with AVIC II subsidiary Harfei Aviation Industry Co. “to produce [A350 WXB] composite material parts and components.”
