LE BOURGET, France (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) won a deal to supply more than 60 planes worth $8.8 billion to leasing firm ILFC on Tuesday, in a fresh sign of buoyant demand for its hot-selling 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The order is Boeing's first major deal announcement at a Paris Air Show so far dominated by rival Airbus and its bonanza of deals. Airbus said it would top 600 firm orders this year, after unveiling 219 worth more than $30 billion on Monday. International Lease Finance Corp. (ILFC), the world's largest plane leasing company by fleet value, said it had has ordered 50 787 Dreamliner widebodied aircraft and has an option for two more 787s, which the U.S. planemaker said it was exercising. http://www.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idUSL1981877720070619?feedType=RSS |
