The Boeing 787 definitely stole the show at this years Farnborough Airshow, as the new plane made its first appearance outside the United States. Although the plane wasnt on display for the public, those looking to spend some serious coin on orders for the new plane were welcome to step inside for a tour.
Things went well for Boeing, as they were able to pick up a few new orders. Royal Jordanian signed up for three of the new birds that will set them back roughly $500 million. Apparently the airline had been thinking about writing the big check for quite some time, but they kept their identity private. Royal Jordanian will look to operate a total of 11 787s through their purchases and leases, and they plan to utilize them on routes to New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto.
