Boeing said on Friday that Azerbaijan Airlines ordered three 787-8 Dreamliners and two extended range Next-Generation 737-900ERs in an order valued at USD$609 million at list prices.

Boeing plans to deliver all five aircraft in 2010, a spokeswoman said.

Azerbaijan Airlines will operate the 787s on routes to the East, Southeast Asia and North America, while the 737-900ERs will be used on routes to Europe, Russia and other regional destinations, the company said.

Boeing's 787, which uses carbon composite materials to help make it more fuel efficient, has racked up more than USD$60 billion in orders in just under three years on the market. Its first test flight is planned for this summer.

The 737-900ER is the largest and newest version of Boeing's popular single-aisle 737 line. The company said it has a backlog of Next-Generation 737s worth nearly USD$100 billion.
