The conclusion of the order comes six months after the airline announced a widebody fleet renewal plan, subject to a number of conditions. As with the previous agreement, announced in April, the new contract with Air Canada includes firm orders for 18 777s, plus purchase rights for 18 more, in a yet-to-be-determined mix of the 777 family’s newest models: the 777-300ER, the 777-200LR Worldliner and the newly announced 777 Freighter. Air Canada ‘s new 777 deliveries will begin in 2007. The order also includes 14 new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, plus options and purchase rights for an additional 46 airplanes. Air Canada ‘s first 787 will be delivered in 2010. The firm orders in the agreement are valued at approximately $6 billion at list prices.
