Boeing Grabs Another Big Widebody Order
 [Motley Fool] Boeing has received more orders for widebody planes year to date than it did in all of 2016. A recent 24-aircraft deal with FedEx added to Boeing's order momentum.In 2017, Boeing (NYSE:BA) saw a somewhat surprising uptick in order activity after entering the year with modest expectations. The Boeing sales team is off to a great start in 2018, as well. By the end of May, the company had received 306 net orders for commercial jets compared to 205 during the same period in 2017. Recently, Boeing has been particularly successful in selling widebodies -- the larger dual-aisle aircraft that typically serve longer international routes. This is a market segment that Boeing had expected to remain weak until around 2020. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-06-24 |
