1252 GMT - Air China says it is boosting its commitment to Airbus A350 long-haul jets. The carrier is ordering 20 more A350-900s, bringing its total tally to 30 of the long-haul planes. Airbus at the half-year mark had 11 more cancellations than orders for that model this year; so Air China's deal, once in the books, will help Airbus into positive territory with the important jet program.
