Boeing and China Eastern Airlines have celebrated the delivery of the 1,000th Boeing airplane for China, one of the world’s most dynamic markets for commercial airplanes. Boeing forecasts that China will need 5,260 new airplanes, valued at $670 billion, in the next 20 years. “We take great pride in the partnership that Boeing and China have shared for more than 40 years.

China Eastern Airlines is set to order up to 20 Boeing 777 wide body aircraft, in a deal valued at up to USD six billion at list prices. The order comes as Airbus, the European jet maker and Boeing’s chief rival, struggles to finalise a USD 3.5 billion deal to sell 15 A330 wide body aircraft to China Eastern.

Jet got the operating permit on Thursday which gives them the fifth freedom rights to fly the Mumbai-Shanghai-San Francisco flight. India and China have agreement for operating 49 flights weekly on each side but the delay in Jet's case happened as it wanted to fly not just to China but also take traffic from there to US," said a senior official.

But the long wait for this permission has meant that the new flight is likely to begin only by mid-June.
