Boeing, Korean Air Lines Finalize Order for Nine 777-200ERs
SEATTLE, Dec. 22, 2003 -- The Boeing Company today confirmed that Korean Air Lines (KAL) -- the national carrier of South Korea -- signed a definitive agreement to purchase nine Boeing 777-200ER (Extended Range) jetliners. This order is worth approximately $1.5 billion based on average listed price. Delivery of the airplanes, to be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines, will begin in 2005. Korean Air has operated 777s since 1997. In addition to the nine 777-200ERs it already has, the airline operates four 777-300s. Next year, Korean Air will use 777s to inaugurate new nonstop service from Seoul to Seattle.
