China has finalised its allocation of the 150 Airbus A320-family aircraft ordered on behalf of several of the country's airlines last year.
Airbus China president Laurence Barron says the allocation is "more diverse" than previous ones, where aircraft were mainly for large state-owned carriers.
This time 10 airlines are being allocated narrowbodies from the deal, in addition to one leasing company.
The country's "big three" airlines will take 53 aircraft, with Air China receiving 23, China Eastern Airlines 10 and China Southern Airlines 20.
Hainan Airlines, the fourth-largest airline group in China, will get 13, while Shanghai Airlines will get five.
Sichuan Airlines will get 18 aircraft while fast-growing Shenzhen Airlines is being allocated 28 - the largest single allocation from the order.
Three recently launched privately owned carriers are also being allocated aircraft from the bulk order. East Star Airlines, Juneyao Airlines and Spring Airlines will each get six.
The final 15 will go to China Aviation Supplies Import and Export Group for its leasing arm.
