billion worth of Boeing jets
Air China announced an order for four Boeing 777-300ER planes on Tuesday, which have a total value of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars at current list prices.
Air China, the flagship carrier of China and also the world’s largest carrier by market value, will use these extended range planes to expand its international routes.
Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said the order for the 777 model aircraft also underscores Air China’s confidence in the world’s most successful twin-engine, long-haul airplane.
The 777-300 ER extends the 777 family’s span of capabilities, bringing two-engine efficiency and reliability to the long-range market.
The airplane can carry 365 passengers up to more than 7,900 nautical miles ( around 14,700 kilometers).
