Seventy of the 470 aircraft are wide-body or twin-aisle planes for long-haul flights. Going by the list price, the AI order value is estimated between $70 billion and $80 billion. However, manufacturers usually offer heavy discounts on such large orders, so the actual deal size is likely to be considerably smaller.
