Deal Worth $597 At List Prices
Boeing and Uzbekistan Airways finalized an order recently for
four 767-300ER (Extended Range) airplanes, valued at $597 million
at list prices.
"We are eager to strengthen our Boeing fleet with 767s to
continue competing successfully and meet continued demand for air
travel in our region," said Valeri Tyan, general director of
Uzbekistan Airways. "Today's order is yet another step forward in
our strong relationship with Boeing. We look forward to operating
the 787 and benefiting from its advanced performance features.
Until then, the 767-300ER is the economical and logical choice to
fulfill our interim capacity targets and our growth plans."
Uzbekistan Airways, based in Tashkent, is Uzbekistan's national
airline. In addition to the airplanes ordered, the airline operates
six Boeing 757-200s and five 767-300ERs.
"Boeing and Uzbekistan Airways have a very special relationship,
based on long-standing mutual knowledge and trust," said Craig
Jones, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of Sales for
Russia & Central Asia. "These 767 models provide excellent
efficiency, reliability and outstanding passenger comfort for
Uzbekistan Airways' international routes."
The 767-300ER is one of three passenger models in the 767
family, which includes the 767-200ER and 767-400ER, and is the
baseline for the 767-300ER freighter. The 767-300ER seats up to 350
passengers and flies up to 5,975 nautical miles (11,065
kilometers). Boeing has orders for more than 1,000 767s, including
562 767-300ERs.
Including this latest announcement, Uzbekistan Airways has now
ordered six Boeing jetliners (two previously ordered 787-8s and the
four 767-300ERs).
