Boeing received a firm order for 18 of its new-generation 737-900ER's from Air Europa today, according to a news report.
Air Europa, based in Spain, has the right to order up to 16 more of the aircraft, according to the report.
In its announcement of the agreement, Boeing noted the superior performance of the 737-900ER over that of its main competitor, manufactured by Airbus.
This latest order comes in the wake of a large order of 737-900ER's placed by Lion Air and a smaller order of 737-900ER's and 777's placed by TAAG Angola Airlines.
According to the report, the Air Europa order represents a defeat for Airbus in its own backyard.
