Boeing Increases Prices

摘要

The cost of a Boeing jetliner has risen by an average of 1.6% - less than the 5.5% increase that the company announced last year. However, prices of the 787 Dreamliner, including the 787-8 and the larger 787-9, are 2.6% higher which is attributed to the good sales figures for the type. "We bumped up the price because the airplane is in demand," said spokesman Doug Alder, adding that this doesn't imply a lower demand for other models. Prices of the new 737 MAX have risen between 2.4% and 3.8%, reflecting the higher thrust ratings on the new engines that have been added this year.
