Over the next five to six years Air China will probably need about 400 aircraft.
This year Air China will be looking at getting 30 new aircraft, which is the sort of order that can make a company.
NASDAQ reports Senior Vice-President of Air China, He Li, as saying, "For five or six years, I think our company should need about 400 aircraft."
