Avianca Airlines, Colombia’s flagship airline, has ordered three Boeing 787 Dreamliners, valued at $620 million.
The order brings Avianca’s total 787 order count to 15 Dreamliners, which includes the 12 787s ordered in 2007. The total order value stands at more than $3.1 billion.
“Adding more 787s to our order aligns well with our expansion and service improvement plans for the airline,” said Avianco’s Chief Executive Officer Fabio Villegas in a statement.
Made primarily from composite materials, the B787 is the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes.
