Taiwan’s China Airlines will split an order for its long-haul fleet renewal between Boeing and Airbus, in a closely watched deal worth almost $12 billion.
The Carrier said on Thursday it would buy 10 Boeing 777-9 aircraft and 10 Airbus A350-1000s as well as four 777-8 freighter aircraft for $11.9 billion at list prices, with deliveries for the new aircraft starting from 2029.

The passenger jets will replace an existing fleet of 10 Boeing 777-300ERs and provide capacity for future growth.
“China Airlines has been actively planning its fleet size and is steadily expanding its presence in the global passenger and cargo markets,” it said in a statement.
