Order announcements continued to pile in during the Farnborough International Airshow this week, with agreements announced from airlines, a lessor, and a cargo carrier for a mix of 30 Boeing 737s, 787s, and 777-8 Freighters on Tuesday. These follow the orders announced on Monday for nearly 150 Boeing airliners.

Among the latest round was a contract from AerCap for 15 additional 787-9 jets, with a substitution option to convert into the larger 787-10. Already the largest lessor owner of the Dreamliner, Dublin-based AerCap will see its fleet of the family grow to about 140 aircraft with the latest order. The company became the first lessor to take delivery of the 787 in 2013.
