Well Farnborough is over for another 2 years (as next year, we’re back to Paris), so lets look at the which carriers have decided to splurge some pennies at equipment makers.
Okay? We can have airplanes!
China’s Okay Airways has ordered 10 Boeing 737-800s which will be delivered from 2014. Previously just a lessee, this will be the first purchase directly from Boeing.
This will be in the addition to the 4 they currently lease, along with a variety of other aircraft.
Royal Jordan goes for a full replacement – adds follow-on’s for 787’s
Royal Jordan Airlines has submitted a order for an additional 3 787-8s, to complete a long haul fleet renewal.
Deliveries are due to be complete by the end of 2016
This will replace the exist A310s and A340s and in the longer term – the A330s it flies.
And that’s your lot. No doubt there will be more orders agreed, more haggling done and a few surprises soon. GhettoIFE.com will continue to monitor and report the fun that is the civil aviation industry when new planes are being ordered – and more importantly – when they’re up in the air with passengers bums on seats.
