Malaysia Air, Boeing sign 16-plane MOU
Malaysia Airlines and Boeing have signed an MOU for an order for eight 787-9s and purchase rights for eight 737 MAX 8s. The memo converts a previous order for Boeing 737 MAXs to the larger 787-9, and adds the 737 MAX purchase rights. If the deal is firmed up, Malaysian is effectively adding a 787 order and converting 737 orders to purchase rights. If the 737 rights are converted to firm orders, a 16 aircraft deal would be worth just over US$3b at list prices. “New wide-body aircraft are a key to making Malaysia Airlines a premium airline offering a five star product again,” CE Peter Bellew said. He said the 787’s range will allow the airline to reach any point in Europe and some US destinations from its Kuala Lumpur base.<br/>
