Korean Air Lands Record Deal for 103 Boeing Aircraft
Korean Air has finalized its largest order in history for 103 Boeing aircraft worth $36.2 billion at list prices, including wide-body passenger jets, freighters, and single-aisle planes.
The order includes 20 777-9s, 25 787-10s, 50 737-10s, and eight 777-8 Freighters, with only the 787 currently certified for commercial service. Boeing is still developing the 777-8 Freighter.
Korean Air CEO Cho Won-tae described the completion of the agreements as a significant milestone, underscoring ties between the United States and South Korea. The investment will support long-term fleet expansion following its integration with Asiana Airlines and help improve fuel efficiency as it transitions to newer aircraft models.
