CHICAGO, May 6 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) on Thursday said it received 20 orders for widebody 777s in the week that ended May 4.
The order, worth $4.1 billion to $5.2 billion at list prices, was placed by one or more unidentified customers and brings the total orders for Boeing commercial airplanes to 112 in 2010.
Boeing's commercial airplane division is recovering from a relatively weak 2009 when it received 142 orders -- down 61 percent from the previous year -- as airlines around the world struggled with weaker travel demand during the economic recession.
Boeing also reduced the number of 777 orders in the last week by four, bringing the net 777 orders for the week to 16.
