Boeing landed an order for 100 787 Dreamliners from United Airlines. Plans are in place to purchase 100 737 MAX jets, too. Both the 787 and 737 are known to have at least 20% better fuel efficiency than the aircrafts they are to replace.
The deal is the largest 787 order in Boeing's history. The 787 is listed from $248 to $338 million, but it's normal for airlines to negotiate significant discounts. With this acquisition, United Airlines hopes to expand with more international flights.
Boeing will begin deliveries of the Dreamliners in 2024.
