Korean Air orders Boeing 787’s
Korean Air Lines has ordered its first 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliners airplanes, with options for a further 10, in a deal worth some $2.6 billion in total at list prices.
Delivery of the 787 airplanes will begin in 2009 through to 2013.
Boeing said it has now received 203 orders and commitments from 17 customers for the 787 airplane, designed as a long-range jet capable of carrying 200 to 300 people and holding 300 percent more cargo (65,000 cubic feet) above the main deck than a normal 747-400 freighter.
