Chinese airlines added 120 aircraft to their fleets last year, 14 fewer than planned, Yang Guoqing, deputy chief of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), told an annual working conference yesterday.
The fleets now total 1,254 airplanes, he said.
"We encourage airlines to cancel or delay 2009 aircraft orders," he said.
