Boeing (BA) has logged its biggest-ever single order with a sale of up to 22 787 Dreamliners to Uzbekistan Airways, in a deal President Donald Trump said is worth more than $8 billion.

The companies said Monday that Uzbekistan Airways would buy 14 of Boeing’s 787-9 Dreamliner jets, with options for eight more, sending shares of the U.S. plane maker rising 2.2% in premarket trading. The stock entered 2025 up 20%, after stumbling last year following a series of safety incidents and a crippling strike at its Washington plants.

“Earlier this month I spoke with the Highly Respected President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Today I want to congratulate President Mirziyoyev on signing a GREAT Deal with Boeing!” President Trump said in on his Truth Social platform. He added that the deal is “worth over $8 Billion Dollars.”

The companies said the investment will support “nearly 35,000 U.S. jobs.”

Uzbekistan Airways said the order would help modernize its fleet and “expand its international routes to the U.S. and other long-haul destinations as demand for international travel continues to rise.” The Dreamliner is a wide-body jet known for being fuel efficient.
