Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Taiwan’s flag carrier will have the 777-300ER on static display from Monday, June 15 to Thursday, June 18 at Le Bourget. Interior tours of the award-winning cabin interior are scheduled to take place daily along with virtual 3-D tours of the airplane powered by the Google Box application.

Based in the northwestern city of Taoyuan, China Airlines is Taiwan’s largest carrier, with 115 destinations in 29 countries and regions worldwide. The airline operates more than 100 flights weekly from mainland China to Taiwan, and that number is expected to grow as liberalization of rules and regulations continues, allowing more mainland Chinese tourists to fly into and through Taiwan.
