Boeing sees $125 million price tag for 7E7
Boeing plans to sell the new baseline 7E7 at similar pricing to the list price of the 767-300ER, or about $125 million per copy, VP-Marketing Randy Baseler said here at Asian Aerospace. That figure is viewed as being below expectations for an airplane that will not enter service before 2008.
Key to the pricing, according to Thomas Waggener, 7E7 marketing director, is the significant cost savings in the manufacturing process. Boeing executives have been touting massive savings in production costs for new commercial programs from experience gained on military programs such as the Joint Strike Fighter.
Engine selection on the 7E7 will be made in the spring, but Waggener indicated to ATWOline that two engines will be chosen. "None of the engine makers want three engines on this aircraft," he said.
Boeing also is looking at becoming more involved in leasing the 7E7 to airlines through Boeing Capital. On the possible conflict with key leasing companies GECAS and ILFC, Waggener was coy on what effect the manufacturer's increased presence in the leasing market might have: "There are some advantages and some negatives and we are exploring a range of possibilities."
At the same time, Star Alliance executives have told ATWOnline that the 15-airline grouping is formulating plans for a standardized version of the 7E7 for the alliance should members decide to order it.
Boeing still sees two versions of the Dreamliner--the standard version seating around 200 in a three-class configuration with a range of 7,800 nm (14,445 km), and the SR with the same fuselage dimensions but seating up to 300 in two classes with a range of 3,500 nm (6,480 km). Ultimately, the company anticipates stretching the standard version to carry 20% more passengers.
