China Airlines has confirmed an order for ten Boeing 777-9 passenger aircraft and four 777-8 Freighter models, making it the first airline in Taiwan to commit to the 777X series.<\/p>\n

The order is part of the airline\u2019s strategy to enhance its long-haul operations to North America and Europe by utilising the 777X aircraft\u2019s increased capacity and range.<\/p>\n

The order also includes options for an additional five 777-9s and four 777-8 Freighters.<\/p>\n

China Airlines joins a select group of global carriers that have opted for both passenger and freighter versions of the 777X family with this order.<\/p>\n

China Airlines chairman Kao Shing-Hwang said: \u201cThe advanced technology and features of the 777-9 will provide our customers with the best-in-class flying experience, while the 777-8 Freighter\u2019s range and fuel-efficiency will enable us to maintain a leadership position in air cargo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 777-9, which is claimed to be the largest twin-engine jet globally, will offer a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions compared to its predecessors, while providing the lowest operating cost per seat in its class.<\/p>\n

It has a range of 7,295nm (13,510km) and can accommodate 426 passengers in a standard two-class layout.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the 777-8 Freighter is expected to enhance China Airlines\u2019 fleet renewal efforts, offering payload capabilities comparable to the 747, alongside a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency and emissions, and a significant reduction in noise levels of up to 60%.<\/p>\n

Boeing commercial sales and marketing vice president Brad McMullen said: \u201cAs we welcome China Airlines to the 777X customer family, we are pleased to build on our nearly 60-year partnership that traces back to the 707 and 727.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe value China Airlines\u2019 continued confidence and look forward to delivering the new 777Xs adorned with the beautiful plum blossom livery in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

To date, more than 520 777X aircraft have been ordered globally, contributing to job sustainability at Boeing\u2019s Everett facility and throughout its supply chain.<\/p>\n

Last month, a second Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet<\/a>, initially intended for a Chinese airline, began its return to the US, according to flight tracking data.<\/p>\n

This move seemed to stem from the rising tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump as part of his global trade strategy.<\/p>\n
