CHICAGO (AP) — Boeing Co. said on Tuesday that it sold three 777s to Taiwan's EVA Air.
The order also includes options for four more of the 777-300ER. And EVA also plans to lease four more from General Electric Co.'s GE Capital Aviation Services, according to Boeing. Eva already operates 15 of those planes.
