Recent Deals

Over the past few weeks, more and more airlines have continued to sign on for the Boeing 787 project. Continental Airlines confirmed their order for 5 787-9 Dreamliners, pushing their order total to nearly 25. Continental said they chose the 787 because of its extremely low cost per seat mile. Both Larry Keller, CEO of Continental, and Ray Conner, Boeing Sales Executive, have both described the deal process as a dream. First Choice Airways of the United Kingdom has also reached an agreement for four additional 787s. As airlines continue to see the progress Boeing is making, expect more and more 787 orders. With the A-380 struggling, the airline industry at Boeing is on a tear.
