That’s what Flight International says. http://www.flightinternational.com/Articles/2005/08/25/Navigation/177/201181/Boeing+near+to+closing+787+lessor+deal+.html Boeing’s been carrying a deal for six Dreamliners going to an unannounced customer on its orders/deliveries Web site. Flight says they’re going to a low-profile leasing company.

Key Quote: “The Boeing executive, although refusing to confirm the customer, does indicate that it is not a major lessor. ‘Some will probably be surprised when they find out who it is.’”
