The 230-airplane order is for $21.7 billion. It is expected to be the largest commercial airplane order ever in Boeing's history, breaking the old record set earlier this week with an $18 million order of 777s.
Jakarta-based Lion Air has signed a commitment for Boeing to order 201 737 MAXs and 29 Next-Generation 737-900 ERs (extended range). The agreement also includes purchase rights for an additional 150 airplanes.
