Boeing has received a record provisional order worth $21.7 billion from Indonesian low-cost carrier Lion Air for up to 380 single-aisle 737-family aircraft, including 201 of its re-engined 737 Max.
The 230 aircraft order, which also includes 29 CFM International CFM56-powered 737-900ERs, is a record for the airframer in both list price value and the total number of aircraft. The order includes purchase rights for a further 150 aircraft.

It’s not an order. It’s an LOI or MOU, whichever you prefer.
As far as I am aware, Boeing are not yet selling the 737MAX, so no order can be booked.

Agreed. I just can’t imagine what they’re going to do with so many.

Wow… that is a lot of metal. I wonder how much the actual firm order will be once signed.
Can’t help but think this is another “eyes bigger than the wallet” deal.
AirAsia and IndiGo, now Lion. All ordering up to 5 times more than their current fleets. Surely they can’t take delivery of ALL of them.
