Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Indian budget carrier, SpiceJet, announced an order for 30 Next-Generation 737-800s with winglets in the presence of U.S. President Obama late last week.

Valued at about $2.3 billion at list prices, SpiceJet had declared its intent to purchase Boeing's Next-Generation 737-800 in July this year. This order was previously attributed to an unidentified customer on Boeing's orders and deliveries website. SpiceJet currently operates a fleet of 24 Boeing 737-800s and 737-900ERs (extended range).
