AerCap to order 15 Boeing 787, sources say

FARNBOROUGH, England, July 20 (Reuters) - Leasing giant AerCap is set to place an order for 15 Boeing 787 jets, two industry sources said on Monday.

Dublin-based AerCap, which is the world's largest owner of Boeing's newest long-haul plane in service, is expected to announce the order during the Farnborough Airshow, they said.

Boeing referred queries to AerCap, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bloomberg reported on Sunday that AerCap could order as many as 15 of the jets.
