Boeing Co. won a commitment from a Chinese airline and two aircraft-leasing companies for single-aisle jets valued at 38 billion yuan ($6.1 billion) as carriers in the country expand their fleet amid a surge in travel demand.

Ruili Airlines signed the agreement with Minsheng Financial Leasing and Avic International Leasing for 60 737 Max models, the carrier said in an e-mailed statement dated Monday. The price of a 737 Max ranges from $87.7 million to $113.3 million, according to the website of Boeing.
