Japan's All Nippon Airways said it will buy three Boeing 777 jetliners and a 767 freighter, and reaffirmed its faith in the aerospace company's 787 Dreamliner, Reuters reported Tuesday. The order is worth $1.1 billion at list prices.
ANA said there's no change in its 787 Dreamliner orders. "The 787 is an aircraft that overall has had few problems," Kiyoshi Tonomoto, an executive vice president at ANA, said during an earnings briefing, according to Reuters.
Those problems include a July 12 fire aboard an Ethiopian Airlines 787 in London; the focus in that incident has shifted to the emergency locator transmitters. The entire 787 flight was grounded earlier this year due to uncontrolled combustion of two lithium-ion batteries in two separate aircraft.
The 777 is manufactured in Everett, and local and state officials have been trying to persuade Boeing to build the next version of the 777, the 777X, in their city.
