I searched for this but found nothing. . China's major airlines are set to place orders for the A380, confirming earlier reports by ATWOnline.
The announcement is due to be made when French President Jacques Chirac visits China Oct. 8-12. According to sources at China Southern, the airline will buy four A380s while Air China will commit to six.
Chinese airlines also are close to announcing a commitment for up to 80 7E7s
Chinese airlines also are close to announcing a commitment for up to 80 7E7s is there a finalized list as to who these airlinese will be for the 7E7?

Wonder what routes CZ and CA's 380 would fly, intra China or China-US or what?
The busiest routes in China are probably PEK-PVG/SHA, PEK-CAN, CAN-PVG/SHA. They need they frenquencies not a big o' whale...but i guess the execs know better. For China-US routes, I doubt any (MU, CA CZ) can support a daily widebody (CA even uses 744m's), why a 380? Sure 6 years down the road may well be another story. Perhaps A380 mixed type just for the Chinese?

A380 will be good for the Olympics in 2008. Beyond that...what routes have the demand on a normal basis? Perhaps as the Chinese economic miracle continues, there will be enough demand on the trunk routes?
Firings, if well done, are good for employee morale.

The A380 can definitely fly between/among these domestic metro as of today:
Beijing
Shanghai
Guangzhou
Shenzhen
Frequencies? They already have a lot of them today and most flights are flown with B767s, B777s and B747s. Time for some overall efficiency with the double decker.

Would Air China use the A380 for a combined routing of JFK and LHR or can the A380 fly JFK-PEK nonstop? I agree with the other opinions, it wouldn't surprise me to see Chinese airlines operating the A380, looking at the huge Chinese market and growing economy combined with the increasing foreign interest for China, mainly the mass production of high tech products. This may also increase the air travel of foreign travellers to and from China.
