Dublin-based leasing company orders 31 Boeing planes

SEATTLE — AWAS, a Dublin-based airplane leasing company, has ordered 31 single-aisle 737-800 jets, Boeing Co. said Friday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Boeing said the order was worth $2.3 billion at list prices, but airlines typically negotiate discounts.

AWAS, which owns and manages 315 airplanes, hopes to buy more of the Next Generation 737s as it continues to grow, said Franklin Pray, its president and chief executive.

The 737 is Boeing’s best-selling plane. The Chicago-based company, which assembles its commercial jets in the Seattle area, has logged orders for more than 4,300 Next-Generation 737s. It has unfilled orders for more than 1,800 737s worth more than $130 billion at list prices.
