Qantas buys 31 737s worth $US2.3b
Qantas buys 31 737s worth $US2.3b
Boeing says Qantas has ordered 31 next-generation 737-800 single-aisle planes, worth about $US2.3 billion ($A2.68 billion) at list prices.
The deal is Qantas' second large single-aisle order this decade. It bought 38 737s in 2001, which have now mostly been delivered.
The new order brings the number of 737s sold this year to 713, making it by far Boeing's most popular plane with airlines.
Boeing now has 1,213 net orders for the year so far, already its highest tally ever, well ahead of its record of 1,044 last year.
The Chicago-based company is neck and neck with European rival Airbus in the race for orders this year. The final tally for both companies, adjusted for cancellations, should be made public early in January.

I'm assuming that this is confirmation of the order that was placed earlier in the year for upto 188 new aircraft.
Hopefully, I can say goodbye to the 737-400s that they use :mrgreen:
