    I did read it and agree that my comments were not directly reflective of the premise of the article.

    I was more focused on the fact that DL order was not a very pragmatic move on Bombardier in the long run. In the short run, yes I can see the merits on their action. Getting someone like DL on your customer list with 70 frames is no mean feat, but at what costs in the future?
    Bombardier went complete "go for broke" on DL after losing out in UA deal. If DL deal fell through CSeries project would be in serious jeopardy

    Boeing's action is equally short sighted. They saw a conducive political climate and are leveraging their new found friendship with WH to promote their agenda.


    However, Boeing at least look to the future as their stated objective is the prevention of CS500 seeing the light of day.
    Canadian Federal fund went for R&D in Bombardier...R&D means only one thing

    These trade wars are generally lose lose situations for all parties involved, but they are also a necessary evil to keep the competition on check.
    it is definitely a lose lose situation. as you can see heat is on

    The tit-for-tat trade spat between the Liberal government and Boeing over the future of the Super Hornet fighter jet purchase escalated Thursday with an acknowledgement that federal officials have been instructed to break off contact with the U.S. aerospace giant.


    I honestly believe CSeries is a decent product. It has performed extremely well with Swiss and AirBaltic. Very close for certification on LCY. It is the only product which can be compete against Airbus and Boeing...Russian or Chinese product has a serious reliability concern...after so many years Superjet has SN Brussel Airline as a customer on a wet lease from Irish CityJet...this is more or less as a stop gap lease and replacement for Avro RJ 100. Irkut MC21 or Comac C919 has still not found any customers in West.

    • Hi Umedha

      I heard that Air New Zealand has updated their A320neo/A321neo delivery schedule. First delivery is delayed untill July 2018. First A320neo will be delivered July 2018 and first A321neo September 2018. What is the reason for delay?

      What is the reason NZ didn't order B737? If i am not mistaken their most of the aircraft in the fleet are Boeing. Isn't that cost-effective having the fleet from same manufacturer. Unless NZ have the very good deal from Airbus.

        Hi Banu,
        I'll get back to you on the delays in A320/321 neo deliveries.

        NZ moved to Airbus in 2003 for their short haul aircraft when they got delivered the 1st A320. Slowly 737s were retired. So they uses Boeing 777,787 as their long haul and A320 as short haul.

        • Umedha, Another news for you. I am sure you will be interested.

          I read from Usa today, UA is planning to title the longest revenue flight when they start LAX-SIN sector onboard B787-9 with flying time of 17.55 hours.

          Will it affect the launch of LAX-SIN by SQ onboard A350ULR ? I think UA will steal the SQ's market on this sector as UA going to do this sector before SQ starts. I am a fanatic of SQ :-) but I never flew on UA before so I couldn't compare SQ with UA.

          Do you know when does the SQ going to take delivery of first A350ULR to the fleet? Really can't wait to see the resumption of SQ's SIN-SFO and SIN-LAX nonstop flights.

            In early April, the carrier announced plans to take delivery of five A321s and five Boeing 737-800s before the end of the year. One of the Boeings has already arrived, and sports the airline’s new livery. On the widebody side, plans for 2017 call for deliveries of three A330-200s and three Boeing 777-200ERs.
            Is Russia's Tourism and Aviation sector booming?

            Another Russian airline looking for expansion looks like. This time, Russian airline Vim avia is in the process of taking ex-Emirates B773 (A6-EBD). Its been ferried to ULY for paint and to be registered as VP-BIN in Russia.

              Passenger traffic is on the rise for the last 6 months or so.

                              According to this Saudi Arabia has revoked the air license leading to Qatar Airways flying longer routes to avoid Saudi air space.

                                As you can see, Bahrain has restricted Qatari aircrafts to only use a single route to inbound flights and only another single route to outbound flights. Now it's actually the only two air routes qatar has to outside world.
