BOC Aviation and Boeing finalize an order for two additional 737-800s

Boeing (Chicago, Seattle and Charleston) and BOC Aviation have finalized an order for two additional 737-800s, valued at $186 million at current list prices.

The order is a part of the Singapore-based leasing company’s effort to grow its portfolio of fuel-efficient airplanes.

These two aircraft add to BOC Aviation’s order of 82 Boeing aircraft in August, which comprised 80 737s, of which 50 are 737 MAXs, as well as two 777-300 ERs (Extended Range).
