Boeing launches 787-10 with $30 billion of orders PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) launched the 787-10 version of its flagship Dreamliner aircraft at the Paris Airshow on Tuesday with 102 firm orders worth nearly $30 billion at list prices. The news came after rival Airbus (EAD.PA) clinched an $11.5 billion order from UK budget airline easyJet (EZJ.L) for 135 A320neos, including 35 current-generation planes and 100 next-generation versions, with options for a further 100 aircraft. Boeing's much-anticipated launch with five airlines and leasing companies marked a sign of support for the 787 just months after the first version was grounded due to battery problems. The buyers are Air Lease (AL.N) with 30 planes, GE Capital Services (GE.N) with 10, British Airways (ICAG.L) with 12, Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) with 30 and United Airlines with 20. United said it expected to receive its first 787-10 in 2018. The plane will be 25 percent more efficient to operate than current comparable planes, Boeing Commercial Airplanes Chief Executive Ray Conner said.
