German Airline DBA Orders 40 Boeing 737s
German airline DBA said Monday it would update and expand its fleet by ordering 40 Boeing 737s for delivery beginning next year.
DBA cited good experience with the twin-engine planes from Chicago-based Boeing Co. and said it had been in talks with European competitor Airbus before making the decision.
DBA didn’t give the price it would pay, saying only that the planes’ list price was $54 million each, which would work out to $2.1 billion. But large orders often come with discounts.
The order will include both the 737-700 and the 737-800 models and would help ensure the Munich-based airline’s expansion, which will include a denser network within Germany and flights to Paris beginning in March, board chairman Hans Rudolf Woerhl said in a statement.
