China Eastern Airlines has agreed to buy 30 Boeing 737-series aircraft carrying a list price of USD$1.94 billion, as the carrier seeks to expand its fleet.
China Eastern, which has made losses several years running, hopes to take delivery of the 737 NG series jets from July 2011 to November 2015, it said in a stock exchange filing on Wednesday.
The country's carriers are expanding capacity at a rapid rate, hoping to cash in on a travel boom as increasingly affluent Chinese take to the skies for business and leisure.
