This year... when this 80 is booked, we will have sold 100 planes in China, so we are well on our way to achieving the same volume as we did last year.
This year ... we are well on our way toward achieving the same volumes we did last year. We hope to maintain our current market share in China, which is about 60-65 percent.
With the 80-aircraft order and an additional 20 booked in January, we are well on our way to achieving the same volume as we did last year. We hope to maintain our market share of 60 to 65 per cent in China.
So we're well on our way towards achieving the same volume as we did last year.
If you look at the growth in Chinese travel, the predictions of 2,600 aircraft over 20 years is reasonable. It's not just growth, it's replacement.
