Boeing Co. has finalized an order with U.K. airliner Jet2.com
for 27 Next Generation 737-800s, to be delivered over the next two
years.
The order is valued at $2.6 billion at current list prices,
though buyers typically enjoy steep discounts on large deals.
This is Jet2.com's first direct order from Boeing, though it
already has a Boeing fleet of almost 60 aircraft.
Jet2.com, a unit of Dart Group PLC, plans to use the new
aircraft for flights to leisure destinations in the Mediterranean,
Canary Islands and Europe.
Separately, Dart Group on Thursday said it will beat fiscal 2016
earnings targets due to strong demand for its package holidays and
consequent increase in passenger traffic for the budget
airline.
