Korean Air, ALC Boost Boeing’s Dreamliner with Big Orders
Deals involve a total of 35 of the widebodies

Boeing’s relatively strong sales year for widebodies continued Tuesday at the Paris Air Show, when the U.S. manufacturer landed sizeable orders for all three versions of the Dreamliner. First, Boeing, Korean Air, and Air Lease Corp. signed a letter of intent covering 30 GEnX-powered 787s, including a direct order for ten 787-10s and ten 787-9s with Korean and another ten 787-10s from ALC for placement with the flag carrier. Boeing estimated the value of the direct agreement with Korean at $6.3 billion.
