According to a Wall Street Journal:
SEATTLE (AP)–All Nippon Airways’ (9202.TO) 50-plane order for Boeing Co.’s (BA) planned new 7E7 airplane will include 20 of the longer range 7E7-8 models and 30 of the shorter range 7E7-3 models, the head of the airline said.
The Japanese airline hopes to take delivery of the first six of the 7E7-8s in the airline’s fiscal year beginning in April 2008, Yoji Ohashi, president and chief executive of All Nippon, told reporters Monday.
Ohashi was in Seattle to sign the contract making the order for the 7E7s official.
Speaking through a translator, Ohashi said All Nippon had not yet chosen between General Electric Co. (GE) and Rolls Royce Group PLC (RR.LN) for its 7E7 engines, but hoped to do so by November.
