Air China and Boeing confirm the carriers order for 5 747-8I's

Boeing has confirmed that Air China (CA) has finalized an order for five 747-8Is, which was previously announced in March 2011.

A Boeing spokesman said the value of the order is $1.7 billion, based on current list prices. “We did indeed roll the order to our Orders and Deliveries website on Thursday,” the spokesman said in an emailed statement. CA declined to comment.

CA said last year the aircraft will deliver in 2014-15 and will boost capacity by 6.6%.
