TOKYO, April 26, 2004 – ANA (All Nippon Airways) today became the launch customer for the Boeing 7E7, when its Board of Directors approved the purchase of 50 of the new aircraft type, with deliveries to begin in 2008.
The total value of the order is approximately ¥660 billion, or US$6 billion, based on list prices and an exchange rate of ¥110 to US$1.
ANA will announce its engine choice for the 7E7 at a later date. It will select from the General Electric GENX, and the Trent 1000 engine from Rolls Royce. Both will be capable of providing 55,000-70,000 lb. of thrust. ANA also will determine the most suitable method of finance by the time of delivery of the aircraft.
ANA President and CEO Yoji Ohashi said, “ANA’s selection of the Boeing 7E7 is consistent with our stated goal to operate the safest, most modern, efficient and comfortable fleet of aircraft in the world. With today’s order we have taken a major step toward achieving another goal, of reducing the number of aircraft types we operate to just three.
