and others, during and after the Dubai Airshow:

• Emirates Airline ordered 50 777-300ERs, with options for 20 more. The order,
with a value of $18 billion, makes this the single largest commercial airplane
order in Boeing's history by dollar value.
• Oman Air ordered six 787-8s.
• Qatar Airways ordered two 777 Freighters.
• Lion Air committed to buy 201 737 MAXs and 29 Next Generation 737-900ERs. The

finalized a firm order for 20 Next-Generation 737-800s.
• Singapore Airlines finalized order for eight 777-300ERs.

Demand for Boeing's airplanes is also fueling and sustaining American jobs.
Since the start of this year, Boeing has added more than 11,000 jobs in its
commercial airplanes division.

In December 2011, Southwest Airlines ordered 150 737 Max airplanes, a
fuel-efficient version of Boeing's 737, and 58 additional 737-700s and
737-800s., Boeing’s largest deal in history valued at $19 billion.
