WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Boeing (NYSE:) Co on Tuesday confirmed it has received an order for 787 Dreamliner aircraft from Taiwan’s China Airlines.
“We are pleased that China Airlines has selected the 787 Dreamliner to modernize their world-class fleet and look forward to working with the airline to finalize the order,” Boeing said in a statement.
China Airlines said earlier on Tuesday it would buy 16 Boeing 787 widebody planes to replace its ageing fleet of Airbus A330s following a widely-watched contest held against the backdrop of regional tensions.
