Orders have been placed for China's first domestic large commercial jetliner the C919 at the ongoing 51st Paris Air Show.
PuRen Germany signed the order for seven C919s, while Ping An International Financial Leasing signed for 50 of the aircraft at the show.
The C919's manufacturer Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) says 500 orders for the jetliner have been received so far.
The C919 is a narrow-bodied aeroplane with 156 to 168 seats.
It is considered a future competitor of the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737.
