China's national airline, Air China, is to buy 60 Boeing 737 aircraft in a deal worth more than 6 billion USD at list prices.
 

 

The aircraft will be delivered between 2016 and 2020, according to a regulatory filing by the airline.
 

 

The deal includes Boeing's "next generation" 737 and 737 MAX aircraft, known for their fuel efficiency.
 

 

In October, rival Airbus announced plans to open a second manufacturing plant in China in an attempt to boost sales of its A330 jetliner in the world's fastest growing aviation market.

 

 

Boeing, meanwhile, said in September that China would need more than 6,000 aircraft in the next 20 years as the leisure travel market booms in the world's second largest economy.
