ANA Holdings Inc. gave Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner a vote of confidence by ordering 14 more of the jets as part of a $16.6 billion shopping spree a year after regulators grounded the composite aircraft.
ANA's 70-plane purchase Thursday tilted toward Boeing, with the U.S. maker accounting for all 40 long-haul models in the deal, with a list value of about $13 billion. France-based Airbus, seeking to crack Boeing's grip on Japanese airlines' wide-body fleets, sold 30 narrow-body jets.
"I wouldn't call this a split order: Boeing won," said Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst with Teal Group, a consultant based in Virginia.
