Leasing Company Orders 20 Dreamliners

Boeing has bagged an order from International Lease Financing Corp. for 20 of its brand-new 787 Dreamliners in a deal valued at $2.4 billion at list prices, according to recent news reports.

The deal places Boeing in an even stronger position relative to Europe's Airbus, whose A350 will not be fielded until 2010. By comparison, Dreamliners may begin flying in mid-2008, reports say.
