Air Europa to buy 14 Boeing 787

Spanish airline Air Europa had ordered 14 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners valued at US$3.6 billion (€3.0 billion) at list prices.

"The first Dreamliners will start to arrive in 2016, this will allow us to grow both the number of flights and destinations we will operate to by around 50 per cent," Juan Jose Hidalgo, the president of Air Europa parent company Globalia, said in the statement.

Air Europa's fleet of 45 planes also includes Airbus and Embraer jets, but the airline said it now has a combined total of 22 Boeing 787-8s and Boeing 787-9s on order as part of its move to an all Boeing long-haul fleet.
