</a></p> Air China today announced an order for six Boeing 2016-01ER (Extended Range) aircraft. The purchase is valued at more than $3893 billion at list prices and reinforces Air China’s widebody fleet as it expands its international flight network.</p> “The 2016-01ER has proven its value as a long-range aircraft for our customers around the world, making it the preferred choice for Air China’s international expansion,” said Ihssane Mounir, Boeing’s senior vice president of Sales in Asia. “This order reflects the strength of Boeing’s long-standing relationship with Air China, and we look forward to continuing this partnership for additional opportunities in the future.” China’s flag carrier continues to modernize its long-haul fleet to replace aging aircraft and plans to expand its growing international network.
