Airbus Flies High With This China Deal

According to Bloomberg, Airbus is near a deal with China for 100 narrow-body planes, marking a big step for Airbus after in the world's fastest-growing aviation market. Airbus, though, remains significantly behind in the race for orders versus Boeing this year. China had previously dropped orders for some Airbus wide-body jets in response to the EU's carbon levy. This is a good sign for Airbus that it can still win orders in the country, though it's important to note that these narrow-body jets wouldn't be able to fly from China to the EU, so they couldn't be part of the levies.
