The Boeing Co. has much to be thankful for, following a bustling November. Boeing secured orders worth more than $90 billion.
The Chicago-based airplane maker showed the demand for its products across the globe continues to be strong.
Among the highlights of the month — which included the Dubai Air Show — was the $27 billion order from flydubai for 225 737 MAX airplanes. The deal represented the largest-ever single-aisle jet order — by number of airplanes and total value — from a Middle East carrier.
Other deals Boeing landed in November were:
Boeing has seen particular success with its 737 MAX, which is the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history, having surpassed 4,000 total orders from 92 customers.
“With flydubai’s proven business model and ambitious growth plans, we look forward to hundreds of flydubai 737 MAXs connecting Dubai with the rest of the world,” Kevin McAllister, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO, said of the flydubai deal.
These transactions will have a positive impact on Ohio. The Buckeye State is the No. 1 supplier to Boeing, which spends $10.5 billion with 392 suppliers in the state, including many in the Dayton region, and supports some 34,000 jobs in Ohio through its spending with suppliers.
In addition to GE Aviation, other large suppliers to Boeing in the region include UTC Aerospace Landing Systems in Troy, which has 700 employees; Projects Unlimited Inc., which has about 165 workers; Centerville-based SelectTech Services, which provides support in structural engineering; Troy-based Dare Electronics, which supplies devices that monitor voltage or perform sensing or control functions; as well as Honeywell Aerospace in Urbana that provides lighting for jets.
