SHANGHAI, July 29 (Reuters) - Privately run Chinese carrier Spring Airlines aims to boost its fleet of aircraft to 100 by 2015 from just 13 now, and is only looking at adding Airbus A320 planes, its chairman said on Wednesday.
Wang Ronghua also told reporters on the sidelines of an event to celebrate the carrier's fourth anniversary that it planned to list its shares in Shanghai in the second half of next year.
Wang added that of the 100 aircraft planned for the fleet, about 30 would be purchased outright.
