Incremental Order will Increase Boeing Backlog to 110
Boeing signed a deal with Irish lessor Avolon for 40 additional 737-8 aircraft, expanding the company's fleet of Boeings-to-be to more than 110 aircraft in all. The firm will sport a mix of 737-8 and -10 variants, once current orders are filled. The order tags on to an additional deal earlier this year that saw 40 aircraft purchased in the same fashion.
