The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today expressed its gratitude concerning the announcement by Air New Zealand, the national carrier of New Zealand, of its intention to purchase four additional 787 Dreamliners. We look forward to working with this key customer to arrive at a firm agreement to provide efficient and comfortable airplanes that will meet the airline's and its passengers' needs.
