Korean Air has finalized an order with Boeing
for two 777-300ERs (Extended Range) airplanes.
The order is valued
at US$596 million at Boeing list prices.
"Korean Air has
been a valued Boeing customer for over five decades and we are
honored the airline has again chosen the 777-300ER to expand its
long-haul fleet," said Ihssane Mounir, vice president of Sales and
Marketing for Greater China and Korea, Boeing Commercial
Airplanes. "The 777-300ERs advanced technology and innovative
features will continue to provide the airline with tremendous
economics and reliability. Korean Air's growing fleet of Boeing
twin-aisle airplanes validates its commitment to excellence in
flight."
Korea's flag carrier is in the midst of expanding
its wide-body fleet to meet growing passenger traffic in Asia. The
new airplanes will help Korean Air continue to position itself as
a premium global airline.
The 777-300ER seats up to 365 passengers in a three-class
configuration and has a maximum range of 7,930 nautical miles
(14,685 km).
