Boeing Adds Five To Dreamliner Tally

Air New Zealand, LOT Firm Up 787 Orders

Boeing told ANN Monday two existing customers for its upcoming 787 Dreamliner have opened their checkbooks. Air New Zealand finalized an order first announced in December for four additional 787-9s -- and Poland's LOT added one to its order for seven of the planes.

The Air New Zealand order is the airline's third for the 787 Dreamliner. With Monday's announcement, Air New Zealand -- the second airline to place an order for the 787 -- has ordered a total of eight 787-9s. Deliveries of these four airplanes will take place from 2011 through 2013.

"Air New Zealand has proven itself to be a very progressive airline in managing its costs while maintaining high levels of service and reliability," said Stan Deal, vice president, Sales -- Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are very proud to partner with Air New Zealand in providing the airplanes that will allow the airline to build upon its great international reputation."

"These new aircraft are important to Air New Zealand's growth plans over the next decade," said Rob Fyfe, CEO of Air New Zealand. "Their long-haul capabilities will reach to a variety of destinations in Africa, India, the Americas and Asia, bringing some exciting prospects that we can pursue. Additionally the 787 has an industry-leading emissions profile which furthers Air New Zealand's environmental initiatives."

LOT Polish Airlines added one additional aircraft, bringing its total 787 order to eight airplanes. In 2005, LOT placed an order for seven 787s, with delivery positions beginning in 2008.

"We are delighted with the steady progress we're witnessing on the 787 Program and are eager to see the first 787 this year," said Marek Mazur, chief executive officer of LOT Polish Airlines. "Furthermore, we are making excellent progress in preparing for the arrival of the first 787 in our fleet in 2008. We take great pride in being the first European carrier to operate the world's newest, most advanced airplane."

Boeing now has 468 orders and commitments from 37 customers for the 787 since its launch in April 2004.
