CDB Aviation to order 30 Boeing aircraft

China’s CDB Aviation Lease Finance is poised to announce an order for 30 Boeing 737 MAX 8 passenger jets and is looking at placing further aircraft orders as it pursues international growth, industry sources said on Tuesday. Such a deal would be worth US$3.3 billion (RM14.7 billion) at list prices, but manufacturers typically charge about half price for actual market transactions. The deal would be the first business announcement since the firm appointed leasing veteran Peter Chang as its chief executive in December.
