Boeing and Air China has announced an order for four 777-300ERs (Extended Range), which have a total average list price value of $1.1 billion at current list prices.
"This is a great day in the history of our long and enduring partnership with Air China," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales & Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Today's order of 777s also underscores Air China's confidence in the world's most successful twin-engine, long-haul airplane."
Air China, the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China, will use the airplanes to expand its international routes.
"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."
