GE Commercial Aviation Signs Deal with Boeing

GE Commercial Aviation has put in an order for six Boeing 777 aircraft.

Boeing said that the deal would be worth around $1.42 billion. The deal will provide GE Commercial Aviation Services with the flexible option to change the model of the aircraft to passenger models later, if necessary.

The first of the 777 Freighters will be delivered from the fourth quarter of 2008.

In addition to this, Boeing also announced that it has won an order for 40 airplanes from Jakarta-based airliner Lion Air.

According to Boeing the Indonesian airline had ordered 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplanes, which are worth over $3 billion at list prices. The 40 fresh orders bring the total number of 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplanes ordered by Lion Air to 100.

Lion Air operates an all Boeing fleet and is one of the largest low cost airliner in Asia.

Boeing will deliver a total of seven 737-900ERs in 2007 to Lion Air.
