The Air China 777-300ER order was indeed previously booked as an UFO (on November 14, 2007); I would presume the 737-800s were as well. One of the two 30 frame 737-800 UFO orders was booked a day after the 777-300ER order; the other was in May of this year.

You're more than likely right, I want to hear Boeing's confirmation. I think we've all seen how many airlines said we ordered this and that but we don't see it on the order books at the end of the day.

Great summary report NYC777 - many thanks for posting and your excellent cumulative 'running totals' ! thumbsup.gif

The Air China record is interesting. According to the following report, the Air China / Boeing 'order' is not yet firm, but so far only an intention to order. Anyone else seen any reports on this one ?

Air China To Buy 45 Boeing Planes

July 15, 2008 4:58 PM ET


SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Flag carrier Air China said on Tuesday it would buy 15 Boeing 777 airplanes and 30 Boeing 737s in one of the biggest plane orders by a Chinese carrier.The planes, to be delivered between 2011 and 2015, have a total list price of $6.3 billion but Air China expects to receive concessions that will lower that price, the airline said in a statement.

The purchase from U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Co will boost Air China's carrying capacity by about 35 percent from its 2007 level, helping the airline to develop home base Beijing as a domestic and international air transport hub, Air China said.

The airline said it would raise the money to pay for the planes through earnings, bank loans and other financing tools. It already operates Boeing planes and is waiting to take delivery of 15 of the planemaker's new 787 Dreamliners.

Chinese airlines have been enjoying rapid growth on the back of a booming economy and Air China's air passenger revenue jumped 16.15 percent to 43.6 billion yuan ($6.4 billion) last year. Chinese air traffic growth has slowed this year, partly because a major earthquake in May reduced tourist traffic.

Boeing did not confirm that the Air China order was firm and made no announcement at the Farnborough Airshow, where the plane maker has already unveiled several large plane deals this week.

"We're pleased Air China has announced their intent to purchase Boeing airplanes and we look forward to finalizing our commercial negotiations," a Boeing spokeswoman in Seattle said in an e-mailed statement.

($1 = 6.82 yuan)

^

The Air China 737/777s were UFOs. Yet, as they weren't announced at Farnborough, should they be counted as air show orders?

Infused

TheMightyM
