(Seattle, September 6, 2007) -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and China Southern Airlines, the largest airline in The People's Republic of China, today announced the carrier has ordered 55 additional Next-Generation 737-700s and 737-800s for its expanding fleet. At catalogue prices, the order is valued at $3.8 billion. The model mix was not disclosed.
The 55 airplanes announced today will supplement the129 737s already in China Southern's fleet as well as 14 more 737s yet to be delivered from previous orders. Collectively, the airplanes will progressively lower the average age of the China Southern Airlines fleet -- already one of the youngest in China.
"We look forward to placing our new 737s into our expanding network," said China Southern Airlines President Si Xian Min. "This order is based on our great experience with the 737, which is highly reliable, highly efficient and preferred by our customers."
"Boeing and China Southern Airlines have been working together for nearly two decades," said Rob Laird, vice president of Sales/China, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "China's aviation future is very strong and we believe the Boeing 737 family will continue to play a pivotal role in the development of its domestic networks."
