Charter Operator Operates Domestic, Int'l Flights
Boeing and Atlant-Soyuz announced this week at the 2007 Moscow
Air Show that the Moscow-based carrier is the customer for four
737-700s. The order, worth $249 million at 2007 list prices, was
listed as unidentified on Boeing's Orders & Deliveries Web site
in 2006 and was accounted for in 2006 order totals.
Atlant-Soyuz is one of the largest charter carriers in Russia.
Currently the airline offers scheduled domestic and international
charter flights from its base airport, Moscow's Vnukovo
International Airport. Atlant-Soyuz is an official carrier for the
Government of Moscow.
"The key factors in our purchase decision were the 737-700's
superior range -- enhanced further for Atlant-Soyuz with
efficiency-enhancing Blended Winglets -- and its industry-leading
dispatch reliability," said Valery Menitsky, chairman of the board
of directors of Atlant-Soyuz. Atlant-Soyuz recently added two
leased 737 Classic airplanes to its fleet.
"Boeing's Next-Generation 737 is the most capable aircraft
available to enable Atlant-Soyuz to grow its business in today's
competitive market environment," said Craig Jones, vice president
of International Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The 737-700
will help Atlant-Soyuz serve its customers with the highest degree
of efficiency, reliability and passenger satisfaction."
More than 100 customers have ordered more than 4,000
Next-Generation 737s. Boeing has unfulfilled Next-Generation 737
orders in excess of 1,650 airplanes worth more than $118 billion at
current list prices.
