China is a key market for Airbus and Boeing as the world’s most-populous nation and both have worked to boost their presence there

Air China will get 64 A320neo narrow-body jets, with its Shenzhen Airlines subsidiary taking 32, according to a filing Friday. China Southern Airlines said earlier it would buy 96 A320neos, as well as hiring in additional planes. The announcements represent China’s first major jetliner orders in about three years. Boeing has historically counted China Southern as its biggest customer in the country. The airline in May removed more than 100 of the US firm’s 737 Max jets from its near-term fleet plans, citing uncertainty over deliveries.

China Southern previously outlined plans to rapidly expand its 737 Max fleet, saying in March that 39 were due this year, building towards a total of 103 deliveries through 2024. None of China’s other state-owned carriers have said if they might resume taking the Max once it’s officially back in service. China was the first to ground the plane after fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
