Alan Mulally Commercial Quotations

The 737 is an icon of efficiency in air travel and one of commercial aviation's greatest success stories. We are absolutely thrilled that the world's largest 737 operator -- Southwest Airlines -- is the owner of this historic airplane. Our partnership with Southwest and hundreds of other 737 customers has resulted in continuous improvements to the 737 and its ability to help our customers be successful.

The orders this year are ... an endorsement by the airlines of the world. What's being validated here is the Boeing Commercial Airplanes strategy for the last six years. That's the incredible story of 2005.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes is healthy and competitive. We have tremendous momentum in the market and a very bright future.
