The contract signed by President and Executive Director of the Boeing Company Scott Carson envisages sale of three Boeing-787 aircraft and two Boeing- 737s to Azerabaijan in 2010, Askerov told Tass. These Boeings capable to carry up to 250 passengers and with a flight range of almost 16, 000 kilometers are the latest models built by the Boeing company that will be exporting these planes world over since 2010. Azerbaijan is the first country in Europe and the CIS to get such planes, Askerov told Tass. (Itar-Tass)
