Boeing Business Jets Wins Additional 787 VIP Order
GENEVA,
May 22, 2007 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] Business Jets
today announced it has received an order for a
787 VIP airplane from Hong Kong real estate tycoon
Joseph Lau. The order is valued at approximately $153
million at today's list price.
The order for a 787-8
VIP airplane brings the total number of Boeing business
jets sold this year to eight airplanes. Earlier this
week, Boeing Business Jets announced it had secured seven
new orders including six BBJs and one 787 VIP.
With this new order, a total of seven 787
VIP jets have been ordered directly from Boeing.
"The 787
VIP is an extremely attractive jet for wealthy and
successful entrepreneurs, especially in Asia where business is conducted
over long distances. The 787 has it all -
long-range capability, advanced technology and a spacious, comfortable cabin
- attributes that are needed to conduct business around
the world," said Boeing Business Jets President Steven Hill.
"We are honored by Mr. Lau's confidence in Boeing
jets and his relationship with Boeing Business Jets."
The VIP-configured
787-8 offers 2,404 square feet (223.3 square meters) of
cabin space. The first commercial 787 Dreamliner is scheduled
to roll out of the Everett, Wash., factory on
July 8.
Boeing Business Jets offers a wide variety of
ultra-large cabin, long-range airplanes perfectly suited for the private
jet market. The product line includes the BBJ, BBJ
2 and BBJ 3, high-performance derivatives of the commercially
successful Next-Generation 737 airplane family, and Boeing widebody airplanes,
including the 787, 747-8, 777 and 767. Nearly 300
