Boeing said Monday that it finalized a deal with Russia's Transaero Airlines for four 787-8 Dreamliners, worth $744 million at list prices.
Boeing's Dreamliner is a lightweight carbon-composite aircraft that was three years late to market but is popular with customers. The plane maker, which competes for orders with EADS unit Airbus, has about 850 orders for the plane on its books.
Boeing last week said it delivered 137 commercial airplanes in the first quarter, up 32 percent from the same period a year earlier. The company is increasing production on all of its commercial airplane models to meet increased demand. The company also is ramping up production on the 787 to 10 per month by the end of next year.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
