Xiamen Airlines Orders 10 Boeing 737s

Xiamen Airlines has signed a CNY5.5 billion yuan (USD$851 million) order with Boeing for 10 737s.

Xiamen parent China Southern and other mainland carriers have been placing large aircraft orders as they build out their fleets to meet travel growth in China.

In December, Xiamen Air had agreed to buy 30 Boeing jets. China Southern had at the same time agreed to purchase 50 737 MAX and 30 737 Next Generation planes from Boeing.
