Chinanews, Beijing, Mar. 23, (By Zhou Yin) - China Eastern Airlines Co.
Ltd. (CEA) revealed today that it plans to open up a Shanghai-Lhasa route
this spring. Recently, it signed an agreement with Airbus Corp. to buy
five A319 passenger airplanes, valued at 200 million US dollars, far
below the catalog price. According to the agreement, these planes will be
consigned to CEA from February of 2006 to July of 2007.
CEA said it was a pity that it did not have flight routes to high
altitude regions. This type of plane, unique in its ability to reach high
altitudes and withstand high temperatures, will help the company open up
flight routes to areas such as Tibet.
