NEWS New order for 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets from Chinese leasing firm

Boeing revealed that Chinese aircraft lessor CDB Aviation Lease Finance has placed an order for 30 of its new single-aisle 737 MAX 8 jets. The order was booked earlier and was previously listed on Boeing’s orders website as coming from an unidentified customer.
