Eva Airways Corp. placed a major order with Airbus SE for the A350-1000 jet, extending this year’s successful run for the manufacturer’s largest widebody model as more carriers upgrade their fleets to manage longer routes.
The carrier said in a Taiwan Stock Exchange statement that it plans to buy 18 A350-1000 planes, alongside 15 of the A321neo single-aisle aircraft. The total value of the deal is about $10.1 billion, though customers typically get steep discounts for big orders.
