NEW YORK: Hainan Airlines Co Ltd, China’s fourth-largest carrier, said on Wednesday it plans to order 30 Boeing Co B787-9 jets as it seeks to expand international routes to tap into growing demand for overseas travel from China.
The order would be the biggest this year for the jet, worth US$7.7bil according to list prices. It would also boost the aircraft maker’s 787 programme backlog to 855 planes.
