LE BOURGET, France — Boeing is showcasing it 787 Wednesday at the Paris Air Show.

After a three-year delay the first new 787 is expected to be delivered in August or September to All Nippon Airways.

The Japanese airline has 55 of the fuel-efficient widebodies on order.

Boeing also announced an agreement Wednesday with Russia's UTair Aviation for 40 737s. If the order goes through it would be worth about $3.2 billion at list prices.
