空客擬與中國建立A380產業(yè)合作伙伴關系
空中客車(Airbus)準備就A380與中國建立產業(yè)合作伙伴關系——如果中國的航空公司訂購這款全球最大的客機。除非該型飛機能贏得新客戶，否則其未來成疑。
Fabrice Brégier, Airbus’s outgoing chief operating officer, will hold early stage discussions on the subject when he heads to China on Monday as part of a trade mission accompanying French president Emmanuel Macron on his first state visit to the country.
空客即將離職的首席運營官法布里斯•布利葉(Fabrice Brégier)周一將作為法國總統埃馬紐埃爾•馬克龍(Emmanuel Macron)首次訪華的隨行代表團成員，前往中國就此事舉行早期階段的討論。
Airbus is also proposing to increase production at its Tianjin final assembly line, where it produces four A320 single-aisle aircraft a month. It could increase the rate to five a month, according to people close to the discussions, which would be factored into the planned global increase from just over 50 currently to 60 a month by next year.
空客還提議增加天津總裝線的產量，目前該公司在天津每月生產4架A320單通道飛機。據知情人士表示，空客可能將該數字提高到每月5架，這將構成空客全球增產計劃的一部分，即從現在的每月略超過50架增至明年的60架。
The talks come as the European aircraft manufacturer hopes to clinch a deal to sell some 100 aircraft to state-owned China Aircraft Leasing Group during the visit, according to reports. The order is likely to be a mix of single and twin aisle planes, with China not expected to order A380s at this stage. The rate increase could also be announced then.
與此同時，據報道，這家歐洲飛機制造商希望在馬卡龍訪華期間與國有的中國飛機租賃(China Aircraft Leasing Group)達成協議，向后者售出約100架飛機。該訂單很可能包括單通道與雙通道飛機，預計現階段中國不會訂購A380飛機。上述增產可能也將同時宣布。
The moves are part of Airbus’s strategy to strengthen its presence in China, where demand for aircraft is expected to outpace western orders significantly in the next decade. Both Boeing and Airbus are increasing their industrial presence in the country in an attempt to woo orders.
這些舉措是空客加強其在中國業(yè)務戰(zhàn)略的一部分，預計未來10年中國的飛機需求將顯著超過西方訂單。波音(Boeing)和空客都在增加各自在中國的制造業(yè)務，以圖吸引訂單。
China, already the world’s second-biggest aviation market, is expected to overtake the US as the largest by 2024, according to the International Air Transport Association, the aviation body.
中國已經是全球第二大航空市場，根據國際航空運輸協會(IATA)的數據，預計到2024年中國將超過美國，成為最大市場。
