China signs for 300 Boeing aircraft

China Aviation Supplies Holding Company (CASC) has signed orders and commitments covering 300 Boeing aircraft, valued at more than US$37b at list prices. The deal, which was signed Nov 9, coincided with US president Donald Trump’s state visit to China. Boeing said the agreement includes orders and commitments for 300 single- and twin-aisle aircraft, although the manufacturer did not specify aircraft types. According to some Chinese news reports, the 300 aircraft include 260 Boeing 737 family aircraft and a total of 40 aircraft from the 787 and 777 families. Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CE Kevin McAllister described China as “a valued customer and a key partner.” More than 50% of all commercial jetliners operating in China are Boeing aircraft. <br/>
