The order had already been listed by Boeing, but was attributed to an unidentified buyer, the Chicago-based aerospace manufacturer said. Based on list prices, the deal is worth about $750 million. The 15 jets come on top of four 737s that the airline has already ordered in 2003. Boeing has 124 orders for 737s this year. The 737 model has been the company's best-selling jet this year by far, accounting for the vast majority of its 143 orders.
