Well it’s Thursday lunchtime, and here’s the news from Paris.
And we open with Air Asia’s massive order for 200 A320neo’s. Yes – 200 frames. With none of the frames they have on order currently being cancelled this takes Air Asia to 375 frames due from Airbus.
That’s a LOT of frames!
Meanwhile Airbus has disclosed an agreement for 10 A380’s has been tentatively agreed with an undisclosed customer. Not that this sniffs of a company who has ordered.. ooh 15 747-8I’s….
Speaking of A380’s, Skymark Airlines have firmed up it’s options for an extra 2 Airbus A380’s – taking it to 6 frames to order
Meanwhile, talk is abound of the A350-800… and it’s status – with Qatar airways receiving no further updates on release of the first aircraft. It seems that Airbus are concentrating on the A350-900 (the larger variant) than the -800 in the first instance…
More thing evening….
