HONG KONG -(Dow Jones)- China Southern Airlines Co. (ZNH: 27.00, -0.16, -0.59%) said Tuesday it plans to buy six Boeing Co. (BA: 79.64, +0.33, +0.42%) 777 freighters, without elaborating.

 On Monday, China Southern Airlines said its net profit surged to CNY5.80 billion last year because of increased demand for air travel and one-off gains.
