Fiji-based Air Pacific has ordered three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in addition to a 2006 order for five of the high-technology jetliners.
The airplanes were added to the Boeing Orders and Deliveries Web site in 2007, attributed to an unidentified customer.
The new airplanes are valued at $580 million and bring the total value of Air Pacific’s 787 orders to approximately $1.5 billion, the largest transaction ever undertaken by a Fijian company. Air Pacific also is taking three purchase rights for the same model, which eventually would bring the airline’s fleet to 11 Dreamliners.
