-That's an incredibly large order! Well done Boeing on getting this order! :)

-Yeh , but to be honest I'd rather it was Airbus. Orders for the A380 are running a bit thin on the ground in comparison to the 787, especially when the A380 will be in service far sooner.

-Why Are u comparing the a380 with the 787 they are 2 completely different aircraft meant for 2 completely different markets..the 787 has a larger market in terms of no . of airliners required in the world and costs about half as compared to the A380. It would be rather beneficial to compare the a350 to the 787.

-qte:
The Chinese government typically orders planes in bulk before distributing them to state-owned airlines. Chinese airline officials including Hainan Airline's Cui said they did not know how many planes they're getting. The airline bought eight Boeing 787 planes for $960 million on Jan. 28.

Hilarious. Some years back I had to do a study for a Chinese airline that had been 'awarded' various aircraft by the government and they didn't know what to do with them.
It would mean much more in terms of credibility if chinese airlines were able to order aircraft that they actually wanted rather than have the govt drop drop the airframes on then.

-The 737 continues to amaze me, its been around for such a long time, and still pulls in massive orders. Love to see Boeing doing well :).

-Well, I reckon the chinese airlines should count their blessings, I mean come on when you've got the chinese government negotiating costs for you your gonna get a good deal as both the US and EU will be desperate to keep china on side

-Good news for Boeing, with all these new orders coming in, but there existing orders are backing up if the machinists are still on strike.
According to Airliner world, Boeing only delivered 6 planes last month, compared to 25-30 a month normally

-I think that problem would be sorted out sooner rather then later..Amazing that the 737 still has some 1000 aircraft on back order.

-I'm not comparing the 787 to the A380, I'm just saying Airbus need more orders for their newer a/c.

-These 70 orders were for the 737 -- not the 787.
By: 20th November 2005 at 01:37 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-As mentioned above by gmnstrunr37, the deal is actually for 70 737s valued at about $5 bil.
By: 20th November 2005 at 08:19 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-yeah but it also included firming up of the older orders

You mentioned this post first, before bring_it_on posted his question.
I'm confused, and don't think that pursuing this is helping the thread -- so let's shake hands and more on, eh? :)

-Word is that the deal is for 70 737's and another one is being firmed up b/w china and boeing for an additional 80 aircraft. Not sure how accurate this report is however...

-So far most of the reports and rumours have proved to be true.
