(oh, it’s the Internationale Luft- und Raumfahrtausstellung – ILA Berlin 2010 this week, so expect a few more of these..)
TAM it seems has a few pennies in it’s back pocket, and it aiming to strenghen itself now its a member of Star Alliance by going to Airbus and buying some more aircaft.
In this order, TAM are ordering 20 x A320 series aircraft, and 5 x A350-900’s. This in addition to the outstanding 10 A350-800’s and 12 A350-900’s that have been ordered already.
With the introduction of the A350 series, TAM are aiming to remove all its older aircraft, bar the 777’s it has in its fleet, and will aim to launch some new routes with them.
So that’s 57 aircraft on the books… quite a good day for Airbus…
