Last year was an excellent year for the industry. There is still a big need for airlines to renew their fleets.

Today's agreement is no doubt the best way to celebrate our 20-year-long close co-operation with China.

It does not lead anywhere. We are not afraid of litigation, only the effects of litigation.

We are very pleased to enter into discussions about possible next steps of co-operation with our Chinese industrial partners who, over the years, have developed real industrial competence on which we can now draw.

The higher the oil price, the greater the demand for more fuel-efficient aircraft. We should encourage airlines to buy new aircraft to replace those which are 15 or 20 years old.

We had a very busy December.

We're very satisfied with the test results and are on target.

We are proud to see Bangkok Airways joining the growing list of launch customers for the A350. This really demonstrates the popularity of our new wide-body in the market place.
