I was just at the plant a couple of weeks ago and they were painting them at that time. I believe Air France had one of them, the others were Malaysia and ANA I think, or possibly Qantas

Boeing commercial aircraft announced today an order for Air France
for Boeing 777's worth one Billion U.S. dollars, this is akin to selling
refrigerators to eskimo's isn't it?, I belive they have options on about 10 more but that will be confirmed later.

Flyglobespan of Scotland announced they are about to buy two 777's as an interim purchase, as well as the new 7E7 for direct flight service to North America, the numbers of 7E7's is to be announced is forthcoming.

Thanks Westjet,
Do you know if this is a new order by Air France or just part of the existing order.

I can't find a link to it, can you help.

Thanks,

Ruscoe

Yes it is all new and all the new extended range models I believe, I think that might bring their orders and delivered up to ten, but I may be a bit optimistic.

Boeing Nears Completion of World’s Longest Range Jetliner
EVERETT, Wash., Dec. 16, 2004 -- The three main sections of the first Boeing [NYSE:BA] 777-200LR (Longer Range), which will be the world's longest-range commercial airplane, were recently joined at the company's Everett, Wash. plant. The 777-200LR can carry 301 passengers up to 9,420 nautical miles (17,446 kilometers), making possible routes such as London-Sydney and New York-Singapore with a full passenger load. The first 777-200LR will be unveiled in February and begin flight-testing in March. First delivery is scheduled for the first quarter of 2006. Pakistan International Airlines and EVA Air are the airplane's first customers.

I see the Singapore 777's are not in the DEc14th update of Boeing orders.

Has it not yet been signed?
