Air China has ordered four extended range 777-300s valued at $1.1 billion to expand its international routes.
The actually price was not announced. Airlines rarely pay list price.
“This is a great day in the history of our long and enduring partnership with Air China,” Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales &Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a prepared statement. “Today’s order of 777s also underscores Air China’s confidence in the world’s most successful twin-engine, long-haul airplane.”
Air China is the flag carrier of the People’s Republic of China.
“The 777-300ER will be the backbone of our long-haul international fleet,” said Fan Cheng, vice president of Air China. “The airplane’s high efficiency and performance features will enable Air China to launch more direct long-haul routes to meet the increasing demand of our passengers.”
The airplane carries 365 passengers up to 7,930 nautical miles.
