Boeing signs latest deal with Air Lease Corporation
Boeing has announced at the Paris Air Show a memorandum of understanding with Air Lease Corporation to purchase 33 airplanes.
The Los Angeles-based leasing company has committed to order three 787-9 and 30 787-10X Dreamliners.
In a statement to press, Boeing said it looked forward to working with ALC to finalise the details of the agreement, at which time the airplanes will be posted to the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website as a firm order.
“We are thrilled to announce our commitment for 787-10Xs and additional 787-9s,” said ALC chairman Steven Udvar-Hazy.
“Both of these airplanes possess the characteristics our airline customers desire by providing the ideal size, capabilities and economical operating costs for their medium to long-haul markets.
“We believe the performance characteristics of the 787-10X will build on the 787 family’s success in the marketplace.”
ALC expects to begin taking 787-10X deliveries in 2019.
The 787-10X would be the third version of the popular 787 family, with a range of up to 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) and seating for 300-330 passengers, depending on an airline’s configuration choices.
The second member of the family, the 787-9, is in final assembly in Everett, Wash., and set to make its first flight later this year.

Boeing announces latest Dreamliner at Paris Air Show
Boeing has announced today at the 2013 Paris Air Show that it has launched the 787-10 Dreamliner, the third member of the super-efficient 787 family.
Commitments for 102 airplanes from five customers across Europe, Asia and North America provide a strong foundation to support development and production of the newest Dreamliner.
Customer launch commitments for the 787-10 include Air Lease Corporation, with 30 airplanes; GE Capital Aviation Services, with ten; International Airlines Group / British Airways, with 12 subject to shareholder approval; Singapore Airlines, with 30 and United Airlines, with 20 airplanes.
The new 787-10 will fly up to 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) — covering more than 90 per cent of the world’s twin-aisle routes — with seating for 300-330 passengers, depending on an airline’s configuration choices.
The second member of the family, the 787-9, is in final assembly in Everett, Washington, and is set to make its first flight later this year.
“The 787-10 Dreamliner will be the most-efficient jetliner in history.
“The airplane’s operating economics are unmatched and it has all the incredible passenger-pleasing features that set the 787 family apart as truly special,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes president Ray Conner.
“The 787-10 is 25 percent more efficient than airplanes of its size today and more than 10 percent better than anything being offered by the competition for the future.”
Design of the 787-10 has already started at Boeing, and international partners will be involved in detailed design in the months ahead.
Final assembly and flight test of the 787-10 are set to begin in 2017, with first delivery targeted for 2018.
“Our ongoing investment in the 787 family is well-founded,” said Conner.
“With the 787-10, we’ve designed an exceptional airplane supported by an efficient and integrated production system that can meet increasing demands and create new opportunities for us.
“Our team and our customers are excited about growing the product line and expanding our presence with this family of airplanes.”
