SEATTLE — Boeing Co. said Monday it received an order for 20 of its popular 737 planes from Babcock &Brown Aircraft Management, an aircraft leasing group, and its partner Nomura Babcock &Brown.
Boeing said the order is worth $1.5 billion at list prices, but buyers typically negotiate significant discounts. The order was previously credited to an unidentified customer on Boeing’s Web site.
Babcock &Brown, based in Australia, said the order brings its 737 fleet to more than 125 planes.
Shares of Boeing dipped 43 cents to $92.73 in early afternoon trading.
