Boeing Boosts Leasing
Boeing has placed a new emphasis on its leasing company customers
following the inroads into that market by Airbus. The Leasing
Companies group, set up 18 months ago, notes that leasing companies
will take 25% of all Boeing's deliveries this year, up from 16%
in 2000. The 76 new Boeings they took last year were delivered
to operators in 31 different countries, while creating 18 new
customers for Boeing by placing first-of-models at these airlines.
"Leasing companies now account for half of all our new customer
generation," business director Catherine Heide told Show
News.
