Orders and deliveries

Underscoring the progress we've made in 2005, another very significant airplane order came in this week. LOT Polish Airlines will purchase seven 787 Dreamliners.

In a head-to-head competition with the A350, LOT says it chose the Dreamliner after a careful analysis of which airplane represented the best cutting-edge solution for their needs. LOT will be the first European airline to take delivery of the 787, beginning in 2008.

It's some good news during a tough week.

As you may have read, we will continue to deliver airplanes that have been completed. But due to the strike, our production facilities are at a standstill at our Everett and Renton assembly plants.

We’ll get through this, and move on. In the meantime, we’ve updated our comments section with some of your thoughts.
