Boeing Gets Nippon Airways Order
All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd. said today it ordered 10 Boeing 767-300 airliners and took options to buy 10 more in a deal potentially worth $1.5 billion.
The first plane was scheduled for delivery to ANA in 1990, with deliveries through 1995, airline spokesman Tim Winship said in Los Angeles.
Boeing and its sole U.S. competitor in the civilian airliner market, McDonnell Douglas Corp., are awash in big orders prompted largely by growth in the international airline business. In February, ANA ordered 20 747-400s for $3.2 billion.
The Japanese airline, which sets up its 767-300s to carry about 275 passengers, plans to use the planes for medium-range foreign and domestic flights, Winship said.
