China To Be Finalized Agreements for the 80 New Orders with the Individual Chinese Airlines Over The Next Few Weeks.

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 11, 2006 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] is pleased to have signed the general purchase agreement today with China Aviation Supplies Import and Export Group for 80 Boeing Next-Generation 737 airplanes. The 80 airplanes in the agreement combine with 70 airplanes agreed to in November 2005 to complete a planned 150-airplane purchase. The first 50 of those Next-Generation 737 airplanes were booked in December 2005 with an additional 20 booked in January 2006. Boeing expects to finalize agreements for the 80 new orders with the individual Chinese airlines over the next few weeks. The 737 is ideally suited for the Chinese market and represents a large portion of the country's fleet. Of the 542 Boeing airplanes in China's fleet, 366 are 737 family aircraft. The 737 family of aircraft comprises 41 percent of China's passenger airplanes.

The Boeing 737 is the best-selling commercial jetliner of all time, with total orders now exceeding 6,000 airplanes.The 737 family includes the initial -100 and -200 models, which entered service in 1968; the Classic -300, -400 and -500 models, which entered service in 1984; and the newest members -- the Next-Generation 737-600, -700, -800 and -900ER models, which entered service in 1998.

The newer 737s, which are 10 years younger than the competing A320 series, were designed to provide significantly more range and payload capability and lower operating costs than earlier 737 models and competing models. Known for its industry-leading reliability and efficient design, the Next-Generation 737 consumes three to seven percent less fuel per seat and offers up to 22 percent lower maintenance cost than the competition.

As of January 31, 2006, 95 customers have placed orders for more than 3,000 Next-Generation 737s; the program has 1,154 undelivered units in its order backlog with a value of more than $73 billion at current list prices.

Governor Gregoire received confirmation from Consul General Peng Keyu of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco that President Hu had accepted her invitation to stop in Washington state on his way to Washington, D.C. The President looks forward to discussing with President Hu a full range of regional and international issues, including the war on terror, nonproliferation, and advancing freedom and promoting prosperity in Asia and beyond in April 20, 2006.

Governor Chris Gregoire will be hosted and welcome Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington State in April 18th to April 19th, 2006. President Hu will visit the state at Governor Gregoire’s request.

Governor Gregoire said that “Washington is the most trade dependent state in the nation and many Washington companies have a strong presence in China.”

China is Washington’s third largest export market - Washington is the only state with two trade offices in China, located in Guangzhou and Shanghai..
