Iran Negotiated Boeing Plane Purchases At Half Price

Iran Negotiated Boeing Plane Purchases At Half Price

One year ago, the airplane market was spooked by reports of "market tests" for Boeing 777 plane prices, when according to the CEO of Delta the company had acquired a used 777s for a paltry $8 million, a 97% discount from new Boeing 777-ER prices!

 

Prior to this report, in October, Delta CEO Dennis Muilenburg  raised more eyebrows when he said there was a “huge bubble” in used widebody aircraft, and that as a result the market was “ripe” for Delta to  buy used 777s, as he subsequently did for an unprecedented 97% price reduction.
