From Times Wire Services
South Korea’s Jeju Air has ordered five narrow-body 737 passenger planes to accommodate future growth, Boeing Co. said. Terms weren’t disclosed.
Chicago-based Boeing, which assembles its 737s south of Seattle, said the new 737-800s were worth $370 million at list prices, though customers typically negotiated steep discounts. The single-aisle plane can seat 162 to 189 passengers and fly about 3,500 miles.
To date, Boeing has won more than 4,400 orders for so-called Next-Generation 737s, which include several models from the 737-600 to the 737-900ER.
