Singapore and Dublin-based lessor BOC Aviation reached a major milestone in its relationship with Boeing when it delivered its 250th aircraft from the U.S. manufacturer—a 737-800—to a Chinese airline late last month. BOC Aviation ranked as Boeing’s largest lessor in 2017, and its cumulative orders for new Boeing aircraft has reached 352, consisting of 296 airplanes from the 737 family, forty-two 777s, and six 787s. The lessor's orderbook includes 102 airplanes due for delivery from Boeing before 2021, including ten 737 Max narrowbodies for which BOC served as the launch customer.
