EVA Air swaps some 787-10s for 777Fs and 787-9s

EVA Air is amending its order for Boeing 787-10s, swapping some of the outstanding aircraft for 777 freighters and 787-9s. The airline says it has reached agreement with Boeing to exchange seven of the 787-10s yet to be delivered for four 787-9s and three 777Fs. EVA Air says the swap relates to an original order for 20 aircraft – comprising 18 787-10s and two 777-300ERs – placed in November 2015. The carrier adds that the decision reflects “changes of market demands” as well as a “continuous optimisation” of its network and fleet. It states that the price of each 777F will not be greater than $382m and that for each 787-9 will not be more than $318m. EVA Air adds that the total transaction will not exceed $7.324b.<br/>
