BOEING too has been very busy at Paris with the Qatar Airways 777 order, probably the most significant commitment during the show. The actual orders placed can be somewhat confusing as the manufacturers, rightly, consider sales to finance companies as sales, whilst an airline saying it is getting a particular plane could mean it is taking an aircraft from a leasing organisation. In any event Boeing officially announced 35 Next-Generation 737-800 to Alaska Airlines, five 737-800s to Ryanair, 18 firm orders for the same aircraft for Air Europa. GECAS said it would take 20 Boeing Next-Generation 737s whilst competitor LIFE stated that it was placing an order for 20 737s and eight 777. In total 98 Boeing New Generation 737s.
