"But the benefits to Boeing go beyond aircraft sales. According to Neale, the newly signed partnership will help the company speed up its procurement process, as many of its suppliers for its new Dreamliner aircraft are based in the Pacific region. “TPP has a Customs Facilitation section that will help speed up the movement of components that we source in some of the countries that are parties to the agreement"

And here is a bit more I extracted from the aforementioned post, as well as related info from Wikipedia:
$TPAC Thanks for posting that link. There is a lot of info there.
Quotes(extracted and pasted; see source link below for full read):
U.S. aerospace companies are hoping that the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal brokered by the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim countries Monday will help grow sales across the Asia Pacific region. The agreement of the pact, which is the largest regional trade deal signed in U.S. history, is expected to bring down barriers that have hampered trade across the Pacific while opening up new markets to U.S. companies, according to the White House.
The 12 participating countries in the agreement make up around 40 percent of the current global GDP -- or just under $30 trillion. The U.S. Chamber Of Commerce claims the partnership could boost U.S. exports by $124 billion and add $77 billion per year to U.S. real incomes by 2025. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the world economy will grow by more than $20 trillion, with nearly 50 percent of that growth in Asia.
For Boeing, opening up the Asia-Pacific region for trade aligns with a region that it claims will be one if its most lucrative in the coming two decades. The Chicago-based company forecasts that the 12 countries in the partnership will order 11,640 aircraft (valued at around $1.5 trillion) over the next 20 years, according to an email from Boeing.
