China Southern Airlines has restarted efforts to sell its entire Boeing 787‑8 fleet, listing 10 aircraft and two GEnx‑1B70/P2 spare engines for an online auction through the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange. The carrier first announced the disposal last year and briefly suspended the process earlier in 2025.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • China Southern is offering 10 Boeing 787‑8s plus two GEnx‑1B70/P2 spare engines in a single online auction via the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange — an unusual disposal of an entire in-service type.

  • The relaunch follows a paused sale earlier in 2025 and comes alongside the carrier's recent aircraft dismantling and recycling facility, which could influence parts salvage and secondary‑market supply.

  • The listing arrives as Boeing has resumed deliveries to Chinese carriers and Beijing has been surveying airlines on outstanding Boeing orders, adding context to widebody demand and fleet strategy in China (see survey of carriers).
