China Airlines gets Asia's first Boeing B737-800 TAIPEI, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Taiwan's leading carrier China Airlines <2610.TW> said on Monday it has taken delivery of a new Boeing 737-800 passenger jet -- the first in Asia -- and planned to take seven more by the end of 1998. China Airlines ordered 15 B737-800s worth US$750 million in December 1995, becoming the first Asian carrier to buy Boeing's latest 737 model, China Airlines said in a statement. The carrier said it planned to take eight B737-800s in 1998 and a further seven between 1999 and 2001. The B737-800s fleet would replace five existing B737-400s to fly short- and medium-haul domestic and regional routes. In May, Taiwan aviation authorities ordered China Airlines not to buy or lease any more aircraft until it improves its air safety standards. The buying freeze had no effect on already approved plane purchases, including that for the Boeing 737-800s. The restriction was put in place after a China Airlines Airbus [ARBU.CN] A300-600R crashed at Taipei's international airport, killing all 202 people in Taiwan's worst air disaster.
