Korean startup Air Premia plans to buy five Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner airplanes, following an agreement to lease three 787-9 jets from Air Lease Corporation earlier this year. Air Premia, which plans to launch operations in 2020 is poised to become South Korea’s second Dreamliner operator.
With its base at Seoul Incheon International Airport, the carrier will initially operate regionally in Asia before expanding its network to Los Angeles and San Jose by 2021.
The commitment, valued at US$1.4 billion at list prices, will be reflected on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website when it is finalized.
