Aeromexico Orders Boeing 787s, 737s

[TallDutch]

Boeing Co. said Tuesday that Mexican carrier Aeromexico had ordered two of its new, fuel-efficient 787 jets and 10 of its narrow-body 737s.

The orders could be worth more than $900 million at list prices, although airlines typically negotiate significant discounts off the list prices.

Boeing said it was scheduled to deliver the two 787-8 airplanes in 2011. The 737-700 jets are scheduled to be delivered in 2010.

Aeromexico also has announced plans to lease three 787-8s from International Lease Finance Corp., and those planes are scheduled to be delivered in 2010. The 787 is scheduled to enter service in mid-2008.

Boeing had previously recorded the orders but had not attributed them to a particular customer.

Based in Mexico City, Aeromexico is Mexico's largest airline.

I guess this is an add on to its previous order, because I remember an Aeromexico 787 order made a couple months ago.
