Air New Zealand has placed an additional order for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, adding two airplanes to its earlier two-airplane 787 order. The two new airplanes are valued at $260 million at list prices.

"The 787 Dreamliner clearly will be an important part of Air New Zealand's future," said Rob Fyfe, CEO of Air New Zealand . "We look forward to its economic benefits and the opportunity to differentiate ourselves from competitors with a truly cutting edge product that passengers will appreciate."

Air New Zealand's new 787s will be powered by new, high-technology Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines.

Boeing now has 295 orders and commitments from 24 customers for the 787.
