China's Spring Airlines signs up for 30 A320-200s

Spring Airlines has signed an agreement with Airbus Industrie for thirty additional A320-200s with plans to potentially acquire more in the future. According to Bloomberg, the Shanghai-based airline signed the agreement on November 22 with deliveries scheduled for 2015 onwards. 

The deal is still subject to Chinese government approval. With its current fleet standing at thirty-seven A320-200s and one A320-200 (sl), the carrier has plans to building a fleet of over 100 planes by 2020. Previous more ambitious plans were revised downwards following delays in obtaining Beijing's bureaucratic okay.
