SEATTLE--(뉴스와이어)--The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] delivered a 737 equipped with an advanced landing system on May 12 that will guide the airplane to runways with unprecedented accuracy.

Unlike current technology, which relies solely on information from ground stations, the Global Positioning Landing System (GLS) integrates data from the global navigation satellite system, ground stations and a multi-mode receiver on the airplane to provide pinpoint accuracy of the airplane’s position relative to the runway and surrounding terrain.

“Boeing is committed to a safe and effective global air transportation system. This precision approach and landing information will enhance safety by significantly improving takeoff and landing capability at airports around the world,” said Captain Ray Craig, 737 Chief Pilot. “GLS increases the Next-Generation 737's lead as the most technologically advanced airplane in its class, and enhances the revenue-generating capability for airlines.”

The FAA certified the GLS system following an extensive three-year testing program. JAA certification is expected soon.

The 737-800 is the first and only large commercial airplane certified and equipped with this sophisticated technology.

Boeing and Ryanair Complete Agreement for Boeing 737-800s

SEATTLE, May 16, 2005 - Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Ryanair, a leading European low-cost airline, completed the airline’s previously announced order for 70 Boeing 737-800 airplanes, worth US$4.6 billion at list prices, plus options for up to 70 more.

Ryanair shareholders ratified the agreement May 12.

“This order affirms Ryanair as the model for low-cost carriers in Europe and is yet another endorsement of the 737 as the leading airplane in its class,” said Marlin Dailey, vice president of sales for Europe and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The value and efficiency of the Next-Generation 737 family, and in particular the 737-800, are especially significant in this time of rising fuel prices.”

The new 737-800s will be fitted with Blended Winglets™, which reduce takeoff noise at airports, reduce fuel burn by up to four percent and increase the distance the 737 can fly.

The 737-800, with its combination of 189 seat count, range, fuel efficiency, low maintenance and overall economics, is the most efficient low-cost airplane in the market.

Ryanair, Boeing's largest 737 customer outside the U.S., has ordered a total of 225 Boeing 737-800s to date. The airline has received 82 since its first delivery in 1999, and now has 143 on backlog.

The 70 new airplanes are scheduled for delivery primarily between 2008 and 2012.
