CSA cancels Airbus-order

In Airbus' latest orders and deliveries update over July 2021, it has become clear that CSA has canceled its orders for three A321neoXLRs and four A220-300s. CSA and Airbus had been in a feud over the aircraft-order, which was placed in 2019, as the airline didn't pay the needed down payments. In total, Airbus was seeking over 800 million USD in compensation, which was one of the reasons the airline was forced to go into insolvency in March.

Currently, the airline's fleet consists of one A319 and one A320. What the future holds for the troubled national carrier is unknown.
