"These measures will help accelerate the integration of China's aviation industry in the global supply chain. They will also create growth opportunities for global partners, including those in the UK," said the ambassador.
The week-long Farnborough International Airshow kicked off on Monday with exhibitors from nearly 100 countries. The presence of more than 20 Chinese aviation companies is the largest in the show's history, with 70 percent growth in participation since the 2016 show.
Xu Gang, CEO of Airbus China, said the long-standing cooperation between Airbus and China is an exemplar of China-Europe cooperation in the high-tech field.
Airbus has committed to raising A320 production capacity at its final assembly line (FAL) in Tianjin in north China, from four to six per month by 2020. It has delivered more than 370 aircraft since the FAL started operation in 2008 as the first Airbus single aisle Final Assembly Line outside Europe.
The rise of production also requires strengthened capacity from the Chinese partners, said Xu. The Airbus A320 FAL in Tianjin is a joint venture involving Airbus, Aviation Industry Corporation of China and Tianjin Free Trade zone.
Meanwhile, Airbus has announced that its second global innovation center will be established in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong province, with the aim to accelerate innovation and shape the future of flight.
"China enjoys huge capability and potential in the aviation industry, and I have full confidence in the future of Chinese aviation market," Xu said.
