London-based First Choice Airways has exercised options to order four 787s from Chicago-based Boeing.

The order is worth about 600 (m) million dollars at list prices. The airline previously ordered eight 787s. The first 787 is scheduled to fly this year and go into service next year. Boeing says 37 customers have ordered 464 of the 787s, making it the most successful launch of a commercial airplane in Boeing's history.
