The purchase will raise the number of Boeing jets in state-run Air China's fleet to 139, Boeing said in a statement.
The aircraft order was valued at about $360 million, and will be delivered beginning in November 2005. Air China will use the airplanes on its domestic routes.
Beijing-based Air China is the country's biggest airline.
