Taiwan's EVA to buy 26 Boeing Dreamliners and 777s for US$8 billion
US PLANEMAKER Boeing has announced Taiwan's EVA Airways' intention to buy twenty-four 787-10 Dreamliners and two additional 777-300ERs, for a total value of US$8 billion at list prices.
"We look forward to welcoming EVA Airways as Boeing's newest member of the 787-10 Dreamliner launch customer group," said Boeing commercial airplanes CEO Ray Conner.
"EVA Airways has been a valued Boeing customer over the past few decades and we are honoured that they continue to introduce new Boeing widebody airplanes into their growing world-class fleet," he said.
EVA Airways continues to modernise its long-haul fleet to replace aging aircraft and these new aircraft will allow the airline to expand into new markets, particularly in southeast Asia, Oceania and North America.
The airline operates 37 Boeing aircraft, including twenty-one 777-300ERs. The 777-300ER is the backbone of EVA Airways' growing fleet and the carrier is the world's 8th largest 777-300ER operator and 4th largest in Asia.
With its intent to purchase two additional 777-300ERs as part of this deal, EVA Airways will have unfilled orders for fifteen 777-300ERs and five 777 Freighters, as well as twenty-four 787-10s - both direct purchased and leased.
The 787-10 will be the third and longest member of the super-efficient 787 family. With its greater passenger and cargo capacity, robust range and passenger-pleasing features, the 787-10 will complement EVA's Boeing widebody fleet while setting a new benchmark for fuel efficiency and operating economics.
The 787-10 will be 25 per cent better in fuel and emissions than the aircraft it replaces and more than 10 per cent better than anything offered by the competition for the future.
