Korean Air signs $1.3 bln deal for 10 Boeing 787s

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=8136446

Looks like Air India is going to place an order as well:

The report, forwarded for A-I board approval, says the airline’s high-powered committee has chosen a mix of eight Boeing 737-200LR (long range), 15 Boeing 777-300ER and 27 Boeing 7E7-8 planes. The total acquisition would cost a whopping Rs 51,637.29 crore — which is over three times the order size of sister carrier Indian Airlines.

The committee may be high powered but thier planes will not be if they are buying 737-200s. I am guessing that got lost in translation and they mean 737-800s or maybe that new 777 they just unveiled recently, the 777-200LR?

Either way score for Boeing! They may not be getting all the pub in the press with the monster Airbus is building but I think they will be getting alot more sales and that is where it counts.

And if they did manage to sell 737-200s, score even more for they have some great salesmen!

Who cares? The 787 is a regional jet.

"Airbus's A350 will compete with Boeing's newest offering, the 787 "Dreamliner," a regional jet. "

Not only is the 787 a regional jet, it is also a 737!

CNN loses cool points with that article.

A.net has posted that Flight International is reporting that Northwest is set to announce a 787 order. What a coup if that turns out to be true as NW is an A330 operator and didn't opt for the new A350. I hope it's true but I won't beleive it until I see the PR from Boeing or Northwest.

Well lets hope it's true...Why would you pay more for a rebagged version of a plane you already fly?
I'd want a totally new design from the ground up...sides NWA needs to get more Boeing equipment on property.
Remember buy American unless it's an electronic device or a car!

Well, I saw the article title "787 defeats A350 at Northwest" in the 4/12/2005 issue. Seeing as I don't have a subsciption, I can't paste the article. At least it's more than just an A.net rumot.

Actually, this is a little off-topic but Kristie's BMW is more "American-made" than my knobless Pontiac Gran Am!

VW's transmissions are made in Japan, part of it is made in mexico, another percent is US/Canadian, then the rest german and yugoslavian. Mercedes is 85 percent german and 15 percent other 0 percent US/Canadian.

Really...thought that thing was made in Bravia or somewhere in Germany. But I guess with this new global economy you have American companies purchasing foreign automakers. Japanese/German cars being made in America, sharing American parts but a foreign badge on the hood!
