SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 29, 2001 -- Boeing congratulated Sydney based Qantas Airways on its decision to acquire 15 new Boeing 737-800s as part of its fleet expansion plans. The first of the airplanes will enter service in January 2002. The balance of the order will deliver by mid-year. The order is valued at more than $900 million at list prices.
"This competition has been a tough evaluation by a very experienced airline," said Seddik Belyamani, executive vice president, Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "You will never find a more level playing field than the tarmac at the Sydney Airport last week."
