Nanjing, China – February 28, 1980 –

Jade Air, a rapidly growing airline based in Nanjing Lukou International Airport (ZSNJ), is proud to announce the purchase of 10 brand new NAMC YS-11A-500 aircraft. This strategic acquisition is part of Jade Air's continued commitment to providing reliable and cost-effective air travel across the region.

The NAMC YS-11A-500, renowned for its performance on short to medium-haul routes, is the ideal aircraft for Jade Air's expanding network. These new aircraft will be primarily utilized to service high-demand regional routes, offering both fuel efficiency and a comfortable passenger experience.

"We are excited to enhance our fleet with the YS-11A-500," said a spokesperson for Jade Air. "This aircraft offers a perfect balance of performance, cost-effectiveness, and reliability, which will allow us to continue expanding our services while keeping our operating costs in check."

Jade Air aims to keep the YS-11A-500 in production for a few more years to meet the growing demand for regional air travel. The purchase of these 10 aircraft signals the airline's long-term commitment to this model, ensuring its place in the fleet for the foreseeable future. Hopefully another 20 - 50 can be ordered by Jade Air before production of the YS-11A-500 ends.

"We are focused on expanding our fleet in a way that will allow us to continue providing excellent service to our customers," the spokesperson continued. "With this investment, Jade Air is positioning itself for sustainable growth and the opportunity to serve more passengers in the years to come."

Jade Air's fleet expansion is part of a broader effort to enhance its regional network and improve operational efficiency. The airline plans to continue expanding its fleet as part of its ongoing strategy to grow and evolve in the dynamic airline industry.
