Overview

• China Airlines has finalized a firm order for 10 Boeing 777-9 passenger jets and four 777-8 freighters, marking its first purchase of the 777X family.
• The airline also holds options to acquire an additional five 777-9s and four 777-8 freighters, supporting long-term fleet expansion plans.
• The 777-9 offers 20% lower fuel consumption and emissions, a range of 7,295 nautical miles, and capacity for 426 passengers in a two-class configuration.
• The 777-8 freighter provides 747-sized payload capabilities, 30% greater fuel efficiency, and a significantly reduced noise footprint.
• This strategic investment supports China Airlines' sustainability goals and long-haul network growth to North America and Europe, as Boeing continues 777X flight testing for certification by late 2025 or early 2026.
