Air Lease Purchases Pair of 787 Dreamliners from Boeing



Air Lease announced the purchase of two 787 Dreamliners from Boeing at the Paris Air Show this week.

Air Lease has been a long-standing 787 customer, placing its first purchase for the 787-9 in 2010. Its airplane portfolio currently includes the 787-9 and 787-10. Since revenue service began in 2011, the 787 family has launched nearly 360 new nonstop routes around the world. The 787-9 can fly 296 passengers up to 7,565 nautical miles (14,010 km) in a typical two-class configuration.

“ALC is a key strategic leasing partner to Boeing, and we are delighted that it continues to see the value proposition of the 787 family for its customers,” Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said. “With its unparalleled fuel efficiency, the 787 Dreamliner family is playing a major role in pioneering new routes in the long-haul travel market while reducing fuel use and emissions, allowing airlines to meet their sustainability objectives.”
