Emirates ser ut til å gå for A350XWB
Times Online
Her er noen utdrag fra artikkelen:
The European manufacturer has cut the price of its A350 by half and is also offering other inducements to persuade airlines to order its aircraft. Airbus has been caught out by the success of the Dreamliner, which is now the fastest-selling commercial jet in history.
The list prices for the A350-800 and 900 models are $189 million and $215 million, but Airbus is understood to be offering either one for $102 million (£51 million), a discount of 46 per cent and 53 per cent respectively.
Discounts are common in aerospace, but industry sources say that such large price reductions are rare. Boeing, by comparison, is thought to be offering discounts of one third on the 787, reducing the price from $153 million to $102 million.
The decision by Airbus to match Boeing on price means that airline customers are being given big incentives to buy. Emirates is poised to announce an order for 100 A350s next week in a deal that would be worth between $19 billion and $21.5 billion at full price. The discount means that the bill for these aircraft will be about $10 billion, but Emirates is likely to pay even less than that.
