{{Shandong Airlines, one of China’s smaller carriers, said it has agreed to buy 50 passenger planes from US manufacturer Boeing for $4.6 billion, in another sign of the country’s growing demand for air travel.}}<\/p>\n

The company signed an agreement with Boeing on Monday to purchase 16 Boeing 737-800s and 34 Boeing 737 MAX planes, a statement said, in a drive to grow its fleet for future business expansion.<\/p>\n

China’s commercial airline industry is dominated by the “Big Three” – flag carrier Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – but a move towards greater competition has seen the growth of smaller players.<\/p>\n

The order represents a win for Boeing in the giant Chinese market and a vote of confidence in its newest family of single-aisle planes, the 737 MAX, which promises greater fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer will begin deliveries of the 737 MAX to global customers beginning in 2017, according to Boeing’s website.<\/p>\n

Boeing could not be immediately reached to confirm the order.<\/p>\n
