BOEING, GECAS ANNOUNCE ORDER FOR 40 NEXT-GENERATION 737-800S
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- Boeing and GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), the commercial aircraft leasing and financing arm of General Electric, have announced an order for 40 Next-Generation 737-800s.
The order is valued at approximately $3 billion at average list prices,
Boeing said in a statement issued on Monday.
"We are pleased to announce this Boeing order and the further growth of our
fleet," said Norman C.T. Liu, president and CEO of GECAS. "Over the years, GECAS
has successfully leased many 737s to airlines around the world."
"Today's announcement with GECAS reaffirms the Boeing Next-Generation 737 as
a highly successful asset, both in operation with airlines as well as in the
financial community," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales for Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "GECAS has more than 300 Next-Generation 737s in its fleet
with another 105 to be delivered to lessees, including today's announcement."
Ideal for the leasing market, the Next-Generation 737 offers lessors the
widest choice of customers to place the airplane and the best residual value
retention of any airplane.
GECAS' continuing acquisition of new 737s reflects solid demand for rapid
addition of new airplanes by customers throughout the world.
With its 737 family of single-aisle airplanes and extensive support
capabilities, Boeing excels in meeting the needs of every type of customer, from
all parts of the world and every type of business model.
This makes the Next-Generation 737 the ideal choice for lessors, who have a
wide range of customers requesting the airplane, and for their leasing customers
who have confidence in an airplane that delivers on its promises and trust in
the manufacturer with the most extensive operational support infrastructure in
the world.
Voted by readers of Executive Travel Magazine the favorite single-aisle
airplane of the most frequent travelers, the 737 is the preferred means of
travel among passengers targeted by potential leasing customers.
Together with its legendary track record in holding residual value, this
proven passenger preference means that the 737 offers the best means to
establish secure, long-term leasing business.
GECAS, the U.S. and Irish commercial aircraft financing and leasing business
of GE, has a fleet of over 1,800 owned and managed aircraft with approximately
245 airlines in over 75 countries.
