Boeing Raising
Price on Jets

NEW YORK ODD. - Price.
of some Boeing Co. jet trans.
ports will be increased ar
average of az per cent, effec-
tive today, Dow Jones reports.
Boeing has not officially an
nounced the price increases, but
1t was learned the Seattle COM
pany has notified airlines
around the world of the boost
The company told the airlines
the increase is attributable to
higher cost of labor and great
er cost of equipment provided
by subcontractors and suppl
ers.
The base price Of the new
Boeing Model 727 short to med
ium range Jet will remain un-
changed for deliveries through
1865, airlines were told. TIL G
727s sell for a basic price OF
about 81, 250,0
The price increases are
scheduled for the turbo-fan
TOT intercontinental series and
the Model 720B intermediate
range transport. Airline sources
estimated the boosts range
from about 100000 to about
$3.50, 900.
Boeing is believed to have
stopped quoting prices on some
of its early commercial trans
port models powered with
straight Jet engines. Most Of its
recent orders have been for
turbo-fan powered equipment
since carriers want the added
economy and efficiency.
