Keep track of the commercial aircraft order announcements made at this year’s Farnborough air show
Korean Air opened this year’s Farnborough air show with an eye-catching commitment for up to 50 Boeing widebodies, provisionally signing up for 777-9s and 787-10s.
The SkyTeam carrier signed a memorandum of understanding covering 20 firm orders for both the 777-9s and 787-10, as well as taking options on 10 more Dreamliners.
Korean is one of two Asia-Pacific carriers to disclose Boeing widebody orders today, after Japan Airlines signed for 10 787-9s and took options on 10 more. The order firms fleet plans disclosed by the Oneworld carrier in March.
In a strong start to the show, Boeing also secured a widebody freighter deal as National Air Cargo signed for four 777Fs.
A fourth customer, Luxair, also signed for two firm – and two options – on 737 Max 10s.
So far Boeing is the only manufacturer to announce commercial aircraft orders at the show.
