China Southern Airlines, the largest airline in Asia by fleet size, has announced its decision to sell all 10 of its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft and two spare GEnx-1B70/P2 engines. According to an official intent solicitation notice posted on its website, the sale will be conducted through open bidding. The aircraft, averaging a service life of over a decade, are expected to be delivered to the buyer between 2025 and 2026, pending board approval.

10 is nothing to a large airline. If they don't have others, it makes sense to not double down as maintenance is harder.
