Boeing Co. landed a deal to sell a dozen 787 Dreamliners to China Southern Airlines Co., bolstering support for its marquee carbon-fiber jetliner in an otherwise tough market for twin-aisle aircraft.
The order by Asia’s biggest carrier by passenger volume is valued at $3.2 billion according to list prices, although carriers typically negotiate discounts. It comes less than a week after Qatar Airways announced an order for 30 Dreamliners. The two deals combined more than doubled Boeing’s 787 order tally for the year.
