Air China has ordered six additional Boeing 777-300ERs, with a value of more than US$2 billion at list prices.

“The 777-300ER has consistently proved its value as a long-haul flagship for our customers around the world, making it the preferred choice for Air China’s international expansion,” said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of Northeast Asia sales at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “This order reflects the strength of our decades-long relationship with Air China and we look forward to partnering with Air China on additional opportunities in the future.”

The airline has a widebody Boeing fleet consisting of three 747-400s, seven 747-8Is, 10 777-200s and 20 777-300ERs, as well as 15 787-9s on order. The freight division, Air China Cargo, has a fleet of three 747-400Fs, four converted 757-200Fs and eight 777Fs.
