Shenzhen Airlines has taken delivery of its first two Airbus A319s, becoming a new operator of this aircraft type in China.

Powered by CFM International’s CFM56-5B engines, the aircraft will be configured in a two class layout, which will provide space for 128 passengers. The first two A319s with Shenzhen Airlines’ livery left Hamburg, Germany on 16 February and landed at Shenzhen Bao’an international airport.

They will be put into service on the routes linking Shenzhen and other major cities in China, including some new and high-altitude routes.
