SEATTLE (AP) - Azerbaijan Airlines has finalized an order for two Boeing 737-900ERs and two 767-300ERs, and Boeing also announced deals with British Airways and GE Commercial Aviation Services for up to 10 777-300ERs.

The Azerbaijan deal announced Thursday by Boeing is valued at $449 million at list prices, although airlines typically negotiate discounts. One of the 767s is a substitution for a previously ordered 787 as shown Thursday on Boeing's Web site.
