China Eastern Airlines has placed a follow-on order with COMAC for 100 C919s. The airline said on September 28 that it has signed an aircraft sales agreement for the aircraft, which will be delivered between 2024 and 2031.
The order has been approved during a recent meeting of the Board of Directors. The agreement is valued at $9.09 billion in list prices, but China Eastern says that it has received a substantial discount.
China Eastern has a previous order for five C919s plus fifteen options. It is believed that the options have been exercised and are now part of the new order. The carrier is the sole operator of the type, having introduced the C919 to commercial service
on May 28 after a long familiarization period since the first delivery in late December 2022. A second C919 joined the airline in August, while a third is being prepared for delivery.
