Boeing and Aeromexico have finalized an order for six 787-9 Dreamliners, with reconfirmation rights for four additional Dreamliners.
The order by Mexico's largest airline, first announced as a commitment in July, is valued at more than $1.46 billion at published list prices.
Aeromexico operates an all-Boeing fleet of airplanes larger than 100 seats. Made primarily from composite materials, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first mid-sized airplane capable of flying long-range routes and will allow Aeromexico to replace older aircraft on its European, Asian and South American routes.
"With this successful purchase, Grupo Aeromexico will have a total of 19 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in its fleet, whose first delivery is expected to be in the summer of 2013,” said Andres Conesa, Aeromexico's CEO. “The arrival of these aircraft will surely increase the added value of our assets and will also reinforce our operative structure, giving us the flexibility to continue growing."
