Boeing Ends China Sales Drought with New China Southern Freighter Order
Boeing has secured its first direct aircraft sale to a mainland Chinese airline since November 2016, ending a significant commercial drought. The order, placed by China Southern Airlines in December, is for two Boeing 777 Freighters. This breakthrough was previously listed under an 'unidentified customer' in Boeing's public records. The sale is a crucial development for the U.S. manufacturer, which has been ceding market share to its European rival, Airbus, in the vital Chinese market. This move signals a potential thawing of commercial aviation relations between the U.S. and China.
