Chinese airlines are preparing to order 200 "big Boeing jets", with options to increase the number to 750, US President Donald Trump said after his just-concluded visit to Beijing. He did not reveal any further details about the types, identity of the customer airlines, or timeline. The manufacturer later confirmed the "initial commitment for 200 aircraft, and we expect further commitments will follow after this initial tranche." Previous reports speculated that Chinese airlines could order up to 500 aircraft during Trump's visit.
