The Boeing Co. has increased its list prices for jets by 5.7 percent for 2001, compared to a normal yearly increase of about 3 percent.
Officials say the increase is due to rising energy costs.
The prices are expected to take effect toward the end of the year. Airbus also raised its prices 5 percent to 5.5 percent this year. A company spokesman said the increase was the result of higher energy costs and inflation. With this year's pricing, Boeing also said that its jumbo 747-400 is no longer the company's most expensive jetliner.
