Boeing Co. won a deal for 39 long-range aircraft from Singapore Airlines Ltd. as the airline upgrades its fleet over the next decade with more fuel-efficient models and doubles down on the planemaker’s newest 787 Dreamliner.
The carrier, which is the launch customer for the 787-10, signed a letter of intent for an additional 19 of the Dreamliner variant ahead of the jet’s public unveiling as early as next week. Singapore is also ordering 20 777-9s, which are set to debut at the decade’s end. The deal is valued at $13.8 billion at list prices that don’t reflect customary discounts, Singapore said in a statement Thursday.
