China Southern Airlines Co. (1055.HK) plans to buy 10 aircraft from Airbus Group (AIR.FR) for a combined list price of $2.27 billion.

The latest deal comes shortly after China's biggest airline by fleet size said it and 51%-owned unit Xiamen Airlines Co. agreed to buy 110 aircraft from Boeing Co. (BA) for $10.1 billion, as they look to increase capacity.

Guangzhou-based China Southern said in a Wednesday filing that the planes have list prices of US$227.36 million each. The medium-haul aircraft, which will be delivered between 2017 and 2019, are expected to increase capacity by about 4%.
