MELBOURNE, Australia--Air New Zealand Ltd. (AIR.NZ) said Monday
it has committed to buy eight Boeing Co. (BA) 787-10 Dreamliner
aircraft.
At current list prices, the order has a value of US$2.7 billion,
though Air New Zealand said it had negotiated a significant
discount and the companies had agreed not to disclose the actual
price.
The order, which has an option to increase the number of
aircraft to as many as 20 and has substitution rights that would
allow a switch from the larger 787-10 aircraft to smaller 787-9s,
will replace a current fleet of eight Boeing 777-200 aircraft that
will be phased out by 2025. The first of the new jets will join the
airline in 2022, adding to a current fleet of 13 787-9
Dreamliners.
The new aircraft will be powered by GE Aviation's GEnx-1B
engines, Air New Zealand said.
