Air China receives first of 15 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on order
AIR China has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner out of an order for 15 aircraft.
This wide-body jet, powered by Rolls-Royce's Trent 1000 engine, took off from Boeing's North Charleston-based Delivery Centre in the US and landed at China's Beijing Capital International Airport.
As of April, Air China has placed 240 planes on order, out of which 197 planes have already been delivered by Boeing, while 43 have yet to arrive.
These comprise 15 Boeing 787-9 model (inclusive of the aircraft just delivered), 14 Boeing 737-800s, eight Boeing 737 Max, and six Boeing 777-300ERs.
In its Current Market Outlook report, the US aircraft manufacturer believes that there will be increased demand for aircraft in China in the coming years to support growth in passenger and cargo traffic.
Over the next 20 years, Boeing anticipates that air cargo demand will increase seven per cent in China, and passenger traffic will rise 6.6 per cent.
Chinese airlines are expected to require an extra 4,630 single-aisle planes, worth US$490 billion. International market growth will push airlines to acquire an additional 1,500 wide-body planes, worth $450 billion. This includes 190 wide-body freighters for $60 billion, reported Tulsa's Business Finance News
