Notes: ^*There is speculation on who the first BBJ customer is. Three articles [19] [20] [21] suggest or state that it is the قطر Government. It has also been suggested that the unidentified customer may be الخطوط السعودية, but the article quoted [22] does not seem to confirm this. Planes purchased through the بوينغ بيزنس جت division are delivered in "green" condition meaning there are no interiors and external livery paint is not applied.

Marketing and sales performance

الخطوط الجوية البريطانية announced in late 2006 that they had asked Boeing and إيرباص for bids to provide replacements for 34 long-haul airliners and additional aircraft for fleet expansion. BA had considered all variants of long-haul aircraft from both companies, including the 747-8. جنرال إلكتريك للطيران and Rolls Royce were invited to provide bids for engines and engineering services.^[2][3][4]

BA announced on 27 سبتمبر, 2007 that it placed an order with إيرباص for 12 of their A380 aircraft, to be powered by رولز رويس القابضة رولز رويس ترينت engines. BA also announced an order for 24 بوينغ 787 aircraft with the same engine choice at the same time. The lack of a Rolls Royce engine for the 747-8 may also have had an impact on the order. BA is traditionally very supportive of Rolls Royce and is one of the largest RR customers.^[5]

بوينغ Chairman and Chief Executive Jim McNerney acknowledged on 23 أبريل, 2008 during the company's call with analysts and media to discuss first-quarter earnings. He would like to see more orders for the passenger version of the bigger and more efficient jumbo jet. Only 26 of the 106 orders are for the passenger version, known as the Intercontinental. The rest are for the freighter.^[6]
