Chile´s LAN signs for $5 bln of Boeing planes
|
...of more than $5 billion worth of the U.S. planemaker´s new wide-body planes.
LAN, one of the biggest airlines in Latin America with affiliates in Ecuador, Peru and Argentina, is to get 32 of Boeing´s lightweight 787 Dreamliner planes plus four of the larger 777 freighters.
The Santiago-based carrier, which has been increasing its international service in recent years, ordered 26 787s in July, marking the largest order for the new plane from Latin America.
Boeing said on Monday the airline will lease six additional 787s from International Lease Finance Corp, a unit of American International Group Inc.
LAN has also committed to acquiring four 777 mini-jumbo freighters, two directly from Boeing and two to be leased from GECAS, General Electric Co´s plane-leasing unit, Boeing said.
The order for 26 Dreamliners, consisting of a mix of 787-8s and 787-9s, is worth about $4.5 billion at list prices. The two 777 freighters together are valued at about $500 million.
