Iraq buys ten 787 Dreamliners | Aviation | AMEinfo.com

Iraq has signed a deal with Boeing to buy 10 787 Dreamliners on behalf of its flag carrier, Iraqi Airways, the National has reported. The contract was reported on Boeing's orders and deliveries website this week, although the deal was apparently concluded on December 22. The aircraft are worth a total of $1.7bn at list prices, but after standard discounts the Iraqi deal is probably worth $1.1bn, the newspaper reported, citing Avitas, a US-based aircraft valuation firm.
meanwhile, a war torn nation places these orders.....a war torn nation!!!!
iraq probably payed some individuals from bahrain for gf's orders of 787s.
sound familiar? the first 777s in the gulf were actually for gf but they sold that order to ek, most likely at a nice price benefiting only a couple of individuals.
once again, gf has been instrumental in helping the regions airlines get started at great expense to it's own expansions, options, airline, economy and many more areas which will be very damaging to bahrain directly and indirectly.
