You're welcome. Maybe the 100+118 includes options aswell. Though they will need a lot of jets not only to expand but to replace nearly their entire fleet. Plus as many have said these large orders mean American and European businesses also stand to lose if the political situation gets bad again.Leave a comment:

Thanks for the info. So in that case IR is going to get more than 100 jets from Boeing that includes B737, B748 & B777 or B787. More than 118 jets from Airbus. Wow !!

Al Baker is not in my good-book since I noticed his attitude during his visit here in Colombo. He asked them why a Chrysler was sent to pick him up instead of a Mercedes
It looks like he will cancel all 80 orders of A320neo if PW don't sort out engine issue quicky. Why don't he try on CFM engines if PW give him trouble on delaying A320neo delivery.

The airline, originally expected to be the launch operator for the aircraft, should by now have had five A320neos in service.

They are 'well managed', to put simply. And ET was the third customer for 787.Wow...banuthev.... See isn't she looks beautiful and neat!!
Meanwhile
Ethiopian Airlines to order "at least" 10 more Airbus A350-900
They already has 14 A350XWB aircrafts on order!!
For me, It's looks like Ethiopian Airlines is richer than SriLankan Airlines!!
Well, from my childhood when I hear "Ethiopian" what always comes to my mind is poor country with starving people!!
You never know, While one side of Ethiopia was starving occasionally, the airline business was going places, always.
Likewise RAM and TAAG Angola do come to mind. They are pretty modernised, and the traffic at their home base is mainly hub/transit traffic, not necessarily terminating trafficLeave a comment:
