All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Boeing finalised (31-Jul-2014) an order for 40 widebody aircraft- 20 777-9Xs, 14 787-9s and six 777-300ERs - as part of the airline's strategic long-haul fleet renewal plan. The order, valued at approximately USD13 billion at list prices, was originally announced as a commitment in Mar-2014. ANA Holdings president and CEO Shinichiro Ito said, "The aircraft we have selected will enable us to modernize and expand our fleet further as we seek to become one of the world's leading airline groups... These new aircraft will give us maximum flexibility and improved fuel efficiency, and will allow us to meet the growth in demand, both internationally and in our domestic Japanese market." ANA, the launch customer of the 787, becomes the world's largest customer for the 787 with a total of 80 aircraft ordered. The airline currently operates 29 787s with 51 more to deliver, including 43 787-9s. [more - original PR]
