(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-03-03 21:06 BEIJING -- China on Tuesday denied that any orders from Airbus had been cancelled. The statement followed a report in a Chinese newspaper that Airbus did not expect to realize a target, set in 2005, of selling jets in China this year. "The Civil Aviation Administration of China has never made any decision to cancel any aircraft orders with Airbus," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said at a regular briefing.
"I believe you have also noted that Airbus has also clarified that the report was merely hearsay," Qin said. |
