Boeing Co. (BA) signed a 230-aircraft order worth $22.4 billion at list prices from Indonesian budget carrier PT Lion Mentari Airlines, setting a record for the planemaker.
The accord today at the Singapore Airshow, which solidifies a provisional agreement last year, includes 201 orders for the in-development 737 MAX and 29 for the extended range 737-900. Airbus SAS separately announced a contract for 35 of its planned A320neo aircraft from Kuwait-based Aviation Lease & Finance Co.
The two planemakers are working on more fuel-efficient versions of their single-aisle aircraft as they compete for customers in a segment accounting for about 60 percent of the global fleet. The companies’ stranglehold on the market is also under threat as Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China and Bombardier Inc. (BBD/B) develop their first planes of that size.
Chinese planemaker Comac today announced orders for 20 of its C919 plane from BOC Aviation Pte, the leasing unit of Bank of China Ltd. The aircraft is the nation’s first large passenger jet.
The Lion Air order, which also includes 150 options, is Boeing’s largest in terms of dollar value and aircraft numbers. It surpasses a Southwest Airlines Co. deal for 208 737s signed in December and comes about a month after a European record order for 122 737s from Norwegian Air Shuttle AS. Airlines usually receive discounts for large orders.

The European-owned planemaker Airbus has won a record order for 234 planes worth 18.4bn euros (£15.7bn, $24bn) from Indonesia's Lion Air.
The order trumps last year's record order for 230 Boeing planes - also from Lion Air.
The planes will be made in France and will secure 5,000 jobs there, where the unemployment rate is high at about 10%.
Lion, now a major airline in Indonesia, started up just 13 years ago.
The two orders, once fulfilled, would put the airline in the world's top 10 by number of aircraft, although Lion Air is banned from flying within both the 27-nation European Union and the US. because of fears that its safety standards are not up to scratch.
Lion currently has just 92 Boeing planes, which fly mainly within Indonesia but also to Saudi Arabia.
It operates the low-cost aircraft carrier model and holds about a 45% market share in Indonesia, a country spread across around 6,000 inhabited islands with a population of 240 million people.
Indonesia air traffic is forecast to grow at 20% a year, and the country's economy is growing at about 6% a year.
I think everyone already knows about Lion Air - the Indonesin private-owned domestic airlines company that set the record (twice) by buying 230 Boeing 737 - 900 in 2012 in a deal worth of US 22,4 billions and in 2013 the same company sign a deal with Airbus to buy 234 units of Boeing A320 aircraft.at cost of US 24 billions.

My question is who owns that company?
Okay of course we all know who is the owner.
But what i mean is who is the real owner of Lion Air? i mean the money??
Ah Temasek!if you take a look carefully the word of Lion? the only thing near Indonesia who associated themselves with Lion is Singa-pore, yes Temasek holding who actually runs behind Rusdi Kirana. That's why, even if Lion Air had such crappy services compared to other budget airlines in Indonesia they will always get more credit from International consortium Banks to expand their business here.
Ah Temasek!
They also hold 35% share of Telkomsel through SingTel.
In Singapore, the state not only the regulator but the playeryes, Rusdi doesn't have that money to expand Lion Air business and always borrowing money from international consortium Banks, and the trusts he gained is came from Temasek holding surely.
