An order for 14 Next-Generation 737-800s, with options for four
more, and five 777-300ER (extended range) airplanes, has been
finalized between Boeing (and Air Lease Corporation (ALC).
Previously posted on the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website,

completion of part of an agreement announced during the Paris Air

billion.
"This order for Next-Generation
737-800s and 777-300ERs is a key building block in the foundation
of our growing commercial leasing fleet," said Steven F.
Udvar-Hazy, chairman and CEO of Air Lease Corporation. "With this
order, we'll be able to offer our clients a most economical,
fuel-efficient and versatile airplane, suitable for a variety of
profitable missions."

financial performance across the widest range of missions. This
order builds on ALC's existing backlog of 60 Next-Generation
737-800s. The 777-300ER is the world's largest long-range
twin-engine jetliner, capable of carrying 365 passengers up to
7,930 nautical miles. To date 34 customers around the world have

Next-Generation 737-800 and 777-300ER," said Marlin Dailey, vice
president of Sales & Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
