Boeing breaks sales drought with North Charleston-built Dreamliner order worth $6.3B
One of the world’s largest buyers of Boeing jets is teaming up with Korean Air to add 30 787 Dreamliners to the Seoul-based carrier’s fleet, the companies announced Tuesday during the second day of the Paris Air Show.
Korean Air said it plans to buy 10 787-10 models, the largest Dreamliner variant built exclusively at Boeing’s North Charleston plant, and lease 10 more of the twin-aisle “Dash 10s” from Air Lease Corp.
The Asia-based carrier also will buy 10 mid-sized 787-9 models. At list prices, the 30-plane deal is valued at $6.3 billion.
