Business Jets has received an order for a 787 VIP airplane from Hong
Kong real estate tycoon Joseph Lau. The order is valued at approximately
US$153 million at today's list price.
The
order for a 787-8 VIP airplane brings the total number of Boeing
business jets sold this year to eight airplanes. With this new order, a
total of seven 787 VIP jets have been ordered directly from Boeing.
"The
787 VIP is an extremely attractive jet for wealthy and successful
entrepreneurs, especially in Asia where business is conducted over long
distances. The 787 has it all - long-range capability, advanced
technology and a spacious, comfortable cabin - attributes that are
needed to conduct business around the world," said Boeing Business
Jets President Steven Hill.
The
VIP-configured 787-8 offers 2,404 square feet (223.3 square meters) of
cabin space. The first commercial 787 Dreamliner is scheduled to roll
out of the Everett, Washington, factory on July 8.
