Southwest orders 25 Boeing 737s (JAMES WALLACE, 7/20/07, Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Southwest Airlines, which announced Thursday that its legendary chairman and co-founder, Herb Kelleher, will resign in May, has ordered another 25 Boeing 737s.

The order is worth about $1.7 billion at the list price of the 737-700. Southwest said it exercised options to buy the jets, which will be delivered starting in 2013.

The Boeing Co. said the Southwest jets were among 36 new orders that it won in the past week, raising its total for the year to 616 net orders. Other new orders included six 787s and two 777s.
