Boeing Books 18 new 787 orders in January, Deferred Production Down to $22.967bn


So two pieces of good news today.

First Boeing booked 18 new orders for the 787 in January. There was two orders made on January 9 each for 4 GE powered 787-9 and 787-10 leading me to believe that it was one customer who ordered these 8 Dreamliners.  Total speculation on my part but it was Malaysia Airlines that has signed an LoI for 8 Dreamliners.  It maybe that carrier that has firmed these 8 787s orders.

There was a separate order for 10 787-9 made on January 30th.  In all cases the customer remains unidentified but it’s great to see a new order for the 787-10.

Thus far Boeing has booked 444 x 787-8, 804 x  787-9, and 173 x 787-10 for a total of 1,421 787s.

Lastly, Boeing’s 10K showed the deferred production cost dipping below $23bn to $22.967bn.  This is a decrease of  $584mm from the third quarter.  With Boeing now producing at 14/month I expect subsequent quarters to show an even larger amounts of decrease in the deferred production balance.

As always please bookmark the link to my 787 spreadsheets as I make every effort to keep them continuously updated.

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
