Also on Tuesday, Boeing and Delta Air Lines announced the carrier placed its first direct order for up to 60 787 Dreamliners, including 30 firm orders for the 787-10 with options for 30 additional aircraft. The widebody jets are intended to support Delta’s long-haul international operations and fleet replacement efforts.

“Delta is building the fleet for the future,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement. Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Stephanie Pope said the company looks forward to delivering the aircraft and supporting Delta’s operational plans.

Boeing further announced on Tuesday that Aviation Capital Group placed a 50 aircraft order for 737 MAX airplanes, consisting of 25 737-8s and 25 737-10s.
