Exclamation ANA Orders 45 Boeing 737's!

SEATTLE, June 30, 2003 – The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today confirmed that All Nippon Airways (ANA) has finalized its agreement to purchase 45 Boeing 737-700 airplanes.

The signing of this definitive agreement increases Boeing Commercial Airplanes' 2003 order total to 86 airplanes.

"This order allows us to simplify our narrow-body fleet with the most cost-efficient and superior-performance airplane in its class," said Yoji Ohashi, president and CEO - All Nippon Airways. "The Boeing 737 will help us meet our goal of reducing operating costs and increasing return on investment for our shareholders. Additionally, with its passenger-pleasing interior, the new 737s will carry our customers in utmost comfort on even the shortest of distances."

ANA will take delivery of its new 737s starting in 2005. The single-class airplanes will be operated on ANA's domestic and regional networks




So it looks as if ANA is looking at an all Boeing fleet.

Any comments?

Excellent choice! Those planes will definitely look good with ANA's livery on them.

I prefer them to get A320 , i always prefer A320 or MD-80/90/717 over the 737 . Ohh well , congrats to Boeing for winning this order . They deserved it .

This was announced on Boeing's site this week, but it has been on ANA's investor relations section for a few weeks. In fact, I posted this news back then and barely anybody (if any) replied. Oh well.

Good move, I can't wait to see these 737NGs at Osaka/Itami. More spotting opportunities for me.
