Zhejiang Loong Airlines took delivery of the first LEAP-1A-powered A320neo aircraft from the Airbus Final Assembly facility in Tianjin, China.
The airline will be the first in Greater China to operate the advanced engine/aircraft combination. Loong Air launched the LEAP-1A in China when the airline announced an order for engines to power 9 Airbus A320neo aircraft at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2014.
