Boeing Says China's 200-Jet Commitment is a Start -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-16 05:25

1725 ET - Boeing confirms the American delegation to Beijing this week yielded a commitment for 200 new plane orders, with future bookings to be determined. "We had a very successful trip to China and accomplished our major goal of reopening the China market to orders for Boeing aircraft," the U.S. plane maker said in a statement. "This included an initial commitment for 200 aircraft and we expect further commitments will follow after this initial tranche." The promise for 200 jets fell short of the more than 500 firm orders that Wall Street analysts had been predicting, sending Boeing shares lower this week.
