Lost in the hype over the new Boeing 787, you might be thinking that the 737 is an “old” plane. Then this news might surprise you. Boeing booked $1.08B in 737-800 orders this month. Yep, the 737 is still selling.
Boeing Co. said Friday it booked big orders from U.S. and Indian buyers for its 737 aircraft.
San Francisco-based Pegasus Aviation Finance Co., a leasing company, ordered six Boeing 737-800 jetliners, and India’s Jet Airways ordered 10 of the aircraft. Deliveries of the jets will begin next year.
At list prices, the Jet Airways’ order is worth about $680 million, and Pegasus’ order is worth about $400 million.
