Cathay Pacific orders two more Boeing 777-300ERs
Cathay Pacific Airways has added to its largest-ever aircraft order, by ordering two more 777-300ER aircraft from Boeing.
In December, Cathay Pacific ordered 16 Boeing 777-300ERs with purchase rights for 20 more, as well as commitments for three Airbus A330-300s. The Hong Kong-based airline did not disclose any financial details.
The additional two Boeing 777-300ER planes will be delivered in January and September 2008, while the first Boeing 777-300ER is scheduled to enter service in September 2007.
In addition to the 18 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, Cathay Pacific also has outstanding orders for two Boeing 747-400s, one Boeing 777-300, six Airbus A330-300s and five 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighters.
