Virgin Blue to purchase up to 105 737's

Earlier in February 2010 I had posted that Australian based budget-carrier Virgin Blue was in talks with Boeing to purchase up to 50 Next-Generation 737 aircraft.  Well today, that deal has been confirmed: 40 firm orders for the 737-800 model.  The deal also includes secured delivery positions for an additional 25 aircraft, future purchase rights for 30 aircraft, and 10 aircraft with cancellation rights, bringing the total possible order log to 105.  This is the largest single plane order for Virgin Blue.  Delivery of these aircraft are scheduled to begin in June 2011 up through 2017.  Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oy Oy Oy!!!
