Boeing has just confirmed on Twitter that GECAS has committed to 100 737's including 75 737-8 Max models and 25 737-800NG's to go along with the 75 Max 737's ordered yesterday by ALC. Bloomberg are also reporting that Boeing and Unuted are about to announce another 100 737's including Max and NG models, although this order may be announced in Chicago, HQ for both companies.

United Airlines sign $14.7B order for 150 737s, including 100 737 MAX 9 & 50 737-900ER.


A big week for Boeing
  • Celebrate surpassing the 10,000 order mark for the 737.
  • Orders & commitments over the past week reaching 396 airplanes

All the social media talk eminating from the show is about how boring and mundane the show has been as far as news goes. As for me, I don't thing Boeing scoring all those orders as boring. Maybe it's the Airbus fanboys feeling deflated?

Perhaps people are just getting jaded with the massive numbers of NEO & Max orders and are hanging out for news about the big toys? No 747-8 or A380 orders this show after all. No new programmes announced (new HGW A330 notwithstanding) no big military news either...

Airbus fanboys deflated? (Cathay news also notwithstanding.) Who knows? I suspect the Mitsubishi fanboys will be happy though.
