How Much Do Airlines Really Pay For Planes? A $397 Million Boeing 787 May Cost Just $170 Million

Airlines almost never pay the sticker prices reported when they order Boeing and Airbus jets. Public numbers can make a 787-10 look like a nearly $400 million aircraft, while the real negotiated price may be closer to $170 million — because aircraft orders work more like car deals, with inflated list prices, confidential discounts, and plenty of room to negotiate.
