Tibet Airlines-Yutong Cooperation Memorandum was officially signed in Chengdu, southeast capital city of Sichuan province on March 23, 2017. At the signing ceremony, Yutong delivered seven units buses to Tibet Airlines, including four units T7 and three units airfield bus ZK6140BD measuring 13.8 meters in length. In addition, the two companies also signed a strategic cooperation plan which aims at promoting the two parties’ long-term cooperation, creating a win-win situation and seeking mutual development.

According to Tibet Airlines, these vehicles were officially put into service on March 26. Six of them stay at Shuangliu Airport and one T7 will travel to Lhasa Airport for operation. This is also the first time for T7 to work in areas with high altitude. To better serve Tibet Airlines, Yutong has set up a special after-sales team to provide timely services for its customer.

Just a few years ago, the airfield buses at many airports in China were dominated by a handful of overseas bus brands. However, in recent years, Yutong airfield buses have become a major force in a number of airports in the domestic market, with a market share of 30% in China. At Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, Yutong buses account for nearly 50% of all airfield buses. In 2016, Yutong airfield buses were also exported to Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
