Romanian airline orders 3 Boeing 737-900ERs

Boeing says the Romanian airline Blue Air has ordered three 737-900ER jetliners, worth $239 million at list prices.

Boeing Co. said Thursday the airplanes will be equipped with Blended Winglets, which improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 4 percent.

Blue Air started operations in December 2004 as the first Romanian low-cost carrier. It operates a fleet of five 737s.

Boeing says 10 customers worldwide have ordered 232 Boeing 737-900ER airplanes. Boeing said it has more than 2,200 unfilled orders for the next-generation 737 valued at more than $160 billion at list prices.
