Would that count as one customer or several??? If it is one customer, who needs 21 787's???? I doubt it's an American carrier, any ideas???

Unfortunately those figures could be an aggregate total, but I doubt it.

I tend to think they are all for one buyer at least the 737's, however the 787's are a bit of a mystery, I do know that Lufthansa was in serious discussions with Boeing re the 787, but nothing concrete yet.

My contacts at Boeing are either still uninformed, or they are sworn to secrecy, which is a distinct possibility.

I think with all the problems Airbus is currently dealing with there may be some carriers who are possibly looking at making some changes in fleet plans, but again unconfirmed.

the next few weeks will prove interesting.

21 dreamliners are most likely the Aeroflot order.

That only refers to production problems with the A380.
