From Cathay press release:
Cathay Pacific Airways today announced that it is continuing to make significant investments to modernise and grow its fleet, entering into an agreement with The Boeing Company to purchase four Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft and eight Boeing 777-200 Freighters.
The 12 new aircraft have a list price of about HK$25.6 billion but will be acquired at a considerable discount, as is the usual practice in such transactions.
Can anyone give me a ballpark figure of the % discount that Cathay would get in a deal like this? What about for even bigger orders like American Airlines' order for over 200 Airbus aircraft recently?
Cheers
