Indonesia's Lion Air has signed a deal for 5 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner passenger jets, worth a total list price of USD$967.5 million, the airline said in a statement.
The move puts more pressure on Garuda Indonesia and Malaysia's AirAsia because Lion Air will be able to serve a broader range of destinations.
Lion Air's founder and chief executive Rusdi Kirana said in February the Indonesian low-cost carrier was in negotiations with Airbus and Boeing to buy Airbus A330s or Boeing 787s.
