Boeing won a $5.8-billion order for its 737 Max jets from China Aircraft Leasing Group as the lessor purchases more planes amid surging demand across Asia.

The order is for 50 single-aisle jets, which will be delivered through 2023, China Aircraft Leasing said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Thursday.

The transaction is the company’s first purchase from Boeing and the final price will arrive after discussions on discounts that are customary in the industry.
