SEATTLE (AP) -- Boeing says in an announcement from Moscow that a Russian company has ordered 50 new 737s worth $3.7 billion at list prices.

Boeing and State Corporation Rostechnology said Friday they finalized the order first announced at a September forum in Russia. The order includes purchase rights for an additional 35 Boeing 737s.

The planes will be used by Russian airlines on domestic and international flights.

The 737 is Boeing's best-selling jetliner. About one per day rolls out of the factory in Renton. Boeing says it is increasing production to 35 per month in 2012 and 38 per month in 2013.

:woohoo:

2. If anyone needs new airliners - it's RUSSIA.

Sheesh. Their jets are positively frightening. And their pilots fly like they're landing on an aircraft carrier. I flew there once and I swear I had to put my feet on the bulkhead in front of me as we were descending to keep the seat belt from digging into my chest too hard. :scared:

5. Love those new -800's. Have flown many times on Delta from DEN-JFK

Parche, a slight off topic quesiton for you..

Do you know anything about those Go Flights wifi? Jetblue was supposed to be equipped with them on all of their A320's but it appears to me that it's not 100% implemenented yet despite GoFlight's say-so that it's 100% equipped.

Even asked the flight attendants about them - they didn't know if it was equipped or not...

6. a-320's

could be that some of their A-320's are leased, and some are purchased direct...the leased ones probably dont have the system yet........that is my guess.......

Just looked at Gogo Inflight and found out Jetblue isn't listed. Strange...
