Well this one is a bit early to break on the Farnborough daily round-up (that’ll be later tonight), but a big order has hit the books with United Airlines confirming an order for 150 new Boeing 737’s.
The order is comprised of:
- 50 Current generation Boeing 737-900ER’s
- 100 new generation Boeing 737-MAX-9.
At list prices, this order is worth over $14.7 billion (although who pays list for anything?).
The new 737’s will be powered by CFM International Leap-1B engines.
For Boeing this is a reason to pop the champagne bottle open as this takes orders for the 737 programme past 10,000 planes overall.

Congratulations to both for this – and as a little bit of side history, Boeing created an airline for air mail transport – United Air Transport.
That name seem familiar from anywhere….?
