Korean Air Joins Boeing 787 Family with up to 20-Airplane Order


SEOUL, April 11, 2005 – The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] and Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. today announced an order for up to 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in a deal worth approximately $2.6 billion at list prices. The agreement involves 10 firm orders and options for 10 additional 787s. Delivery of the 787-8 airplanes will begin in 2009 and extend through 2013.

"The Boeing 787 Dreamliner will enhance Korean Air's fleet with its flexibility for both regional and long-haul operations," said Y.H. Cho, Korean Air chairman and chief executive officer. "Our passengers will enjoy the benefits of the 787's new cabin environment and passenger amenities. The 787 will help us realize our goals of being one of the world's top ten passenger airlines by 2010 and to reduce our costs by 10 percent."

As a member of the 787 launch customer team, Korean Air becomes a key partner in developing the 787 family of airplanes. Boeing has received 203 orders and commitments from 17 customers for the 787 since launching the technologically advanced jetliner less than a year ago.

"Korean Air's selection of the 787 continues the steady drumbeat of orders for this remarkable new airplane," said Larry Dickenson, vice president of Sales - Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The superior efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort of the 787 will greatly complement Korean Air's highly profitable 777 and 747 operations. Korean Air is one of the world's most progressive and vibrant carriers, and we are honored by its choice of the 787."

The 787 will use 20 percent less fuel than today's airplanes of comparable size and will provide operators with up to 45 percent more cargo revenue capacity. Passengers will enjoy an innovative new interior environment with higher humidity, wider seats and aisles, larger windows, and other conveniences.

The 787 is a family of airplanes carrying 200 to 300 passengers on routes between 3,500 and 8,500 nautical miles (6,500 to 16,000 kilometers). The 787 will allow airlines to offer more of what passengers want: affordable, comfortable, nonstop, travel to more destinations. The 787 is capable of nonstop routes connecting Seoul with Jakarta , Dallas , Rome or Tel Aviv.

In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes, the 787 will fly at Mach 0.85, as fast as today's fastest commercial airplanes, while using much less fuel. Also, for the first time in commercial jet history, the 787 will offer a standard engine interface for its two types of engines, the General Electric GENX (GE Next Generation) and Rolls Royce's Trent 1000, allowing a 787 to be fitted with either manufacturer's engines at any point in time. Korean Air has not announced its 787 engine selection.

...

Non sono ordini, sono intenzioni d'acquisto, che gli altri costruttori non divulgano perché provvisorie.
Gli ordini confermati, prima del mega-ordine cinese (non mi riordo in che stato sia) non arrivavano a 50 !!!

Occhio alle sfumature: "Boeing ... and Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. today announced an order ..."
L'ordine l'hanno annunciato non firmato !!!

[sky3boy]

per ora di ordini pochi direi, tutti intenti, che cmq sono già di per se ottimi...

Boeing cmq dall'inizio dell'anno ha venduto in totale: 45 aerei (come ordini confermati e firmati), il 787 ha raccolto 8 ordini dall'inizio dell'anno, il 777 ben 7 ordini, il 737 ben 49 e gli altri solo cancellazioni, sia 717 (-14), 747 (-1) e 767 (-4) e nessun nuovo ordine... direi scarsini...

vedremo poi se gli intenti si confermeranno in ordini il portafoglio dovrebbe salire di molte unità... il 747 invece non lo vuole più nessuno!

Airbus dal canto suo invece ha raccolto ben 123 ordini fermi, di cui 91 per la famiglia A32x, 12 per i maricini e 10 per i supermarcioni... gli ordini dei 380 sono come per Boeing solo intenti e quindi non figurano nel totale...

cmq a ordini fermi su prodotti concorrenti

A32x 91 B737 49 totale A-B: 42
A33x 12 B787 8 totale A-B: 4
A346 10 B777 7 totale A-B: 3

cancellazioni di B 19

per ora l'ago pende sempre verso l'Europa...

da notare che anche A non scrive degli ordini (intenti) dei 380 e dei 350

ciao sky3boy

FL Group Increases Boeing Next-Generation 737 Order
SEATTLE, April 12, 2005 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] and The FL Group (formerly Flugleidir Icelandair) today said The FL Group has converted purchase rights from a January order into a new firm order for five additional Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 airplanes.

The five new airplanes for the all-Boeing customer are valued at $325 million at list prices. Boeing will deliver the five new airplanes in 2007, while deliveries from the January order will occur next year.

"These additional 737s, so soon after the original order, speak to the increasing status of The FL Group and demand for the 737," said Marlin Dailey, vice president, Sales for Europe and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This further cements a great relationship with a loyal, growing customer."

As with the previous order, The FL Group, Icelandair's parent company, will lease the airplanes to other carriers outside of Iceland. Icelandair ordered two Boeing 787 Dreamliners in February and is a member of the 787 customer launch team.
