The first Chinese-made regional passenger jet, the ARJ21-700, has received 90 new orders at Britain's Farnborough International Airshow, the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China ( COMAC ) said July 12, 2016.

China Aircraft Leasing Ltd has signed to acquire 60 ARJ21 aircraft for around $2.3 billion. This is the largest order of the aircraft since its commercial operations on June 28. One of the leasing firm's investors, Friedmann Pacific Asset, will invest in an Indonesian-based airline and help build up its ARJ21 fleet.

Meanwhile, the Aviation Industry Corp of China Leasing Co, or AVIC Leasing, signed a purchase agreement for 30 ARJ21 aircraft with COMAC at the air show.
