Paris Air Show 2023: China Airlines Orders Eight Boeing 787s
American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has finalised an order for eight 787-9 Dreamliners with China Airlines at the Paris Air Show 2023. The order, now a “firm one”, follows the carrier’s first-ever order for 16 787-9s from last year. In addition, China Airlines has also converted six 787-9s to the 787-10, the largest member of the 787 family. This conversion will extend flexibility and capacity to the carrier’s regional network as travel by air continues to rise over pre-pandemic levels. China Airlines aims to introduce 24 787s over the following years, which will help it strengthen its existing global network.
