Boeing receives more than $4.5B in plane orders
|
The Boeing Co. said it's received orders for 28 new airplanes worth more than $4.5 billion from a Kuwaiti leasing company, a Russian air freight company and Continental Airlines. Chicago-based Boeing said Alafco Aviation Lease and Finance Co. of Kuwait City, Kuwait, ordered 12 787-8 airplanes and six 737-800s worth $2.26 billion at list prices. The leasing company says it's the first Middle Eastern company to buy the Everett-built 787-8 airplane.
Volga-Dnepr Group of Moscow has ordered five Boeing 747-8 freighters worth $1.4 billion at list prices. Boeing now has nearly 80 orders for the 747-8 model, which is also built in Everett. Sucks to be AirBus, don't it? | And Continental Airlines said it's increased its order for 787 airplanes, adding five 787-9 airplanes worth between $892 million and $940 million at list prices. The Houston airline now has ordered 25 787s. "Since we placed our initial 787 order in December 2004, we have become even more impressed with the 787 and its capabilities," said Larry Kellner, chairman and CEO of Continental, in a statement.
