Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Atlant-Soyuz announced today at the 2007 Moscow Air Show that the Moscow-based carrier is the customer for four Next Generation 737-700s.
MOSCOW — The order, worth $249 million at 2007 list prices, was listed as unidentified on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries Web site in 2006 and is accounted for in 2006 order totals.
Atlant-Soyuz is one of the largest charter carriers in Russia. Currently the airline offers scheduled domestic and international charter flights from its base airport, Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport. Atlant-Soyuz is an official carrier for the Government of Moscow.
„The key factors in our purchase decision were the 737-700’s superior range — enhanced further for Atlant-Soyuz with efficiency-enhancing Blended Winglets — and its industry-leading dispatch reliability,“ said Valery Menitsky, chairman of the board of directors of Atlant-Soyuz. Atlant-Soyuz recently added two leased 737 Classic airplanes to its fleet.
„Boeing’s Next-Generation 737 is the most capable aircraft available to enable Atlant-Soyuz to grow its business in today’s competitive market environment,“ said Craig Jones, vice president of International Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. „The 737-700 will help Atlant-Soyuz serve its customers with the highest degree of efficiency, reliability and passenger satisfaction.“
The Next-Generation 737 family is the most technologically advanced airplane family in the single-aisle market. Air finance investors continue to confirm the Next-Generation 737’s market success by consistently ranking it as the most preferred airplane due to its wide market base, superior performance efficiency and lowest operating costs in its class.
