Boeing made a splash on the first day of the Farnborough Airshow with large and strategically important order announcements, demonstrating that airlines remain confident in the U.S. airframer's ability to overcome its well documented challenges.

Korean Air committed to buying up to 50 of Boeing's widebody airplanes, including twenty 777-9s and twenty 787-10s with options for 10 more of the largest 787 Dreamliner variant. The new agreement comes on top of the expansion of the airline’s firm backlog of 22 Boeing 737 Max jets and seventeen 787s.
