Boeing recently finalized a deal with British Airways creating a total for 790 orders of the Dreamliner plane.  British Airways' order gives the plane one of the industry's most successful launches ever - even though the airliner has yet to take flight.  Boeing expects to fly the first 787 around the end of the first quarter of 2008 and begin deliveries in late November or December. It expects to deliver 109 airplanes in 2009.  The British Airways deal is worth $4.4 billion at list prices.

"This order is a vote of confidence from one of the world's leading global network carriers in the 787's unprecedented performance," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales for Europe, Russia and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Brazil's GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes said it exercised firm orders for 34 Boeing 737-800 NGs, completing the purchase option for 121 aircraft negotiated in October 2006. The carrier said it signed a new contract for the acquisition of 40 additional aircraft for delivery in 2012-2014.

Boeing also said that it signed a $1 billion contract with Russia's OAO VSMPO-Avisma to provide titanium forging for production of the 787 jet from 2011 until 2015.
