Xiamen Airlines has gotten approval to provide US$5.5 million loan guarantee for Hebei Airlines to lease a Boeing 737-800 aircraft (B-6868) from Tianlan (Tianjin) Aircraft Leasing Company.
In a statement on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, China Southern Airlines, parent of Xiamen, said that the guarantee will help Hebei Airlines broaden its financing channels and cut its financial and leasing costs.
