(Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. won an order from China Eastern
Airlines Corp. valued at $4.6 billion in list prices for single-
aisle jets as Chinese carriers purchase new planes amid surging
travel demand.
China Eastern ordered 50 single-aisle 737 aircraft, the
Shanghai-based carrier said in a statement to the Hong Kong
stock exchange Tuesday. Each plane has a price of about $91
million, the company said in the statement, though airlines
usually get discounts from list prices. The planes would be
delivered between 2017 and 2019.
Last year, China Eastern placed an order for 80 737 jets
valued at $7.4 billion. Chinese carriers are bringing in more
orders for Boeing and its European rival Airbus Group SE as
growth in the world’s second-largest economy enables more people
to fly. China is poised to become the world’s biggest travel
market in under two decades.
