China Southern acquires 2 A319neos and 9 A321neos

The South China Morning Post has reported that China Southern announced it has acquired eleven additional aircraft; two A319neos and nine A321neos. If the planes are really new orders, or part of previously unannounced Chinese orders is yet unknown. Interesting is that the A319neo is already spotted at Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

China Southern is back in expansion mode and is reporting a full domestic recovery post-COVID. These new planes will support this expansion and are also to cover for the grounding and delayed deliveries of the B737MAX.
