Here's Boeing's first order update for 2008.

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

748I BBJ x 1 for BBJ
777 x 1 for Turkmenistan Airlines.

2 Gross Orders
2 Net Orders

Good way to start the new year...More widebodies

Good lord, what will Turkmenistan do with a T7?!

Those 747BBJs are doing rather well,


Wouldn't necessarily be for commercial service, IIRC they currently have a 763ER for purely VIP ops. Either way its appeared out of nowhere.

^

You're probably right - the carrier seems happy with its 757's - cant see them jumping for such a large airplane overnight!

Aren't they buying the 787?

Nope, thats Azerbaijan Air that you are thinking of buddy

Yeah that's right. That 777 is a surprise. What'll be a bigger surprise is that it's a 777-300ER.

With a range capability of 17,150km whilst cruising at Mach0.86 with 100 passengers, the 747-8BBJ no doubt epitomises the sheer splendor of VIP travel. I am thrilled to see this great airplane already scoring her first order for the year so far. Here's to many more!!

Have reliably been informed the Turkmenistan 777 order is a 772LR. Which makes it even more surprising.

May well be for Govt usage as Ben pointed out

Sure would give enough range for flights to fellow dictator Chavez .

Here's Boeing's weekly update:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:
1 x 787-8 for PrivatAir
23 x 787 UFO

BTW the 23 x 787 UFO are for two customers.

Thanks NYC777

Well the probability of getting 1000 orders for the 787 before first flight are sure getting higher with flight delays and continued strong sales.

With the recent trends in the 787 program Boeing can have 1000 firm 787 orders by LN 1 Power on!

Sure would be a pretty bittersweet achievement. But as long as the orders keep coming in despite the delays, things are still looking rather positive.

Actually, it appears that the 23 UFOs are for an existing customer per the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

NH and NW both hold 50 options. QR has 30 and both AC and QF have at least 23.

Here's Boeing's Weekly Order Update for January 22, 2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

16 x 787-8 for Gulf Air
1 x 737BBJ

Previously Unidentified Customer Orders:
8 x 787-8 for Air Europa (to be updated on monthly update)

Cheer

Still no identification of the 787 customer who added 23 new frames...

The Party from from 2007 continues despite many believing 2008 to be a hangover. It seems every day there is a least one order for something from Boeing or Airbus.

Here's Boeing's Weekly Order Update:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:
1 x 737 for Southwest
17 x 737 as a UFO

Merci bien for the update!

Here's Boeing's weekly order update for Feb. 2, 2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

2 x 737-800 for Blue Air Transport
1 x 737 for American Airlines
1 x 777 for Asiana

Some notes:

The Asiana order is for a 777-200ER but the engine selected hasn't been announced yet (would have to assume PW).
The 787 UFO from January is for 23 787-8s, no engine selection, all booked on the same day. ILFC?
The 737 from January is for 17 -700 all booked on the same day.
American Airlines has now booked a total of five 737-800s since November. They were behind three UFO orders late last year that are now, well, no longer UFOs.
Qatar Airways converted two 777F to 777-300ERs.

A quiet week for a change. It's been frenetic!

Here is Boeing's weekly order update for Feb. 12, 2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New orders:

1 737 UFO

Cheers

Next week should be a big week for Boeing at the Singapore Air Show.

Here's Boeing's weekly order update for 2/19/2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

56 x 739ER for Lion Air
4 x 77W for Garuda Indonesia
4 x 777 UFO

Since Continental announced that it "has added" 8 777's to its order books, could it be that these are part of the 10 un-identifieds on the Boeing order books? Same goes for the 737s

Two of the ten 777s were booked on December 3rd 2007.

^For the most part no. Continental's annual report released today makes clear that that they placed an additional order on February 20, 2008 -- and the order update Boeing put out today that NYC777 just posted only goes through the 19th. The bulk of Continental's order should show up next week.

Now for the exception: when you work through the information in Continental's filings, it's clear they are responsible for the 2-frame 777-200ER UFO of December 3, 2007. Continental did not place any other orders in 4Q07. The first of these is due in August 2009.

Also note that they just order six more 777 yesterday, not eight. (2+6 = 8, not 2+8 = 10).

Thanks for the update Uresh

MightyM...thanks for clarification.

Here's Boeing's weekly order update for 2/26/2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

6 x 777 for Continental
19 x 737 for Continental
4 x 737 for RAK Airways
30 x 737 for UFO

Thanks NYC777

30 737s for MAS?

That time of the week again ?
Pretty much the expected confirmations, save for the Lion Air order.

Still, 59 orders for the week. If that were average for each week of the year, it would make for a pretty big year, so not too bad.

If 59 orders were average we'd be talking 3068 orders for the year, that would be way more than just "not too bad" .

Damn straight!

Here's Boeing's weekly order update for MArch 4, 2008:

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders:

1 737 UFO

Wow that market is really taking off!

Yeah thats mine!

Lackluster...

^The monthly database update doesn't offer much new information either. This month's 737 UFO orders are evenly split between -700 and -800 -- with an order for one and 15 each. (This week's was a -700).

The four-frame 777 UFO from a few weeks back was for -300ERs, which does oh so little to narrow down who it might be for.

And lastly, JAL converted the last 767-300F they had on order to a 767-300ER. That gives them 5 767-300ERs currently on order.

No UFOs were identified that we didn't already known about.

The four-frame 777 UFO from a few weeks back was for -300ERs, which does oh so little to narrow down who it might be for.

True, but there are a few suspects renowned for 773ER UFOs, such as AF/KL, EK, ILFC and GECAS.

Here's Boeing Weekly Order Update for March 11, 2008.

http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm

New Orders include:
40 x 737 UFO
10 x 777 UFO (WOW)
35 x 787 UFO (double WOW!!!)

85 new orders this week! Not bad!

Werent Malaysian supposed to be announcing something along the lines of 40 737 + 10 777 at the Singapore Airshow?

If my maths is correct, this means the 787 is less than 10 frames from the 900 firm orders mark.
