Stor ordre fra down under

787: 65 firm + 50 options, miks av 788 og 789, leveranse til Jetstar starter i 2008 og Qantas i 2009


Det går i tillegg rykter om 34 X 737 fra CO, kanskje 800 og 900ER. Dag??



Litt mer fra bloomberg

Qantas said it chose Boeing planes because they could fly further with a full payload, they burn less fuel, they fly faster than other aircraft and having one type will reduce maintenance costs.

La oss "håpe" at SAS vurderer commonality som viktigst, og går for A350

Et par andre momenter:
-789 er nå mer eller mindre på størrelse med 772, etter at isolasjon er fjernet er man oppe på 9Y og 7C i bredden.

-772LR er kanskje død. 789 har bare ca 600nm kortere rekkevidde, og det er godt mulig det kommer en HGW av den etter hvert.

-Det begynner å bli vanskelig å få slots før 2010, dersom ikke B har tenkt å heve produksjonsraten en del. Linje nr 2 i sikte?

-B bør nå være sikret den økonomiske friheten de trenger for å satse skikkelig på 787 i 737 OG 773ER/748 størrelse.

Qantas announced Tuesday evening a firm order for 45 Boeing 787 jets, worth more than $8 billion at list prices, and said it expects to eventually take a total 100 jets, which would bring the order to $13 billion.
..
The deal includes 20 options, but "we regard the firm [orders] and the options as basically a done deal," said Qantas Chief Executive Geoff Dixon in a teleconference. "Given that we are committed to this particular aircraft ... we would expect to be taking up over a period of years round about 100."
..
Another significant plus for Boeing is Qantas is the first airline seriously committed to buying the larger version of the 787-9, the stretch version, when it is available in 2011.
..
The 787 now has a total 354 announced commitments from 26 customers, of which 229 are firm orders.
..
A key part of the Qantas plan is to expand its domestic low-cost unit, Jetstar, to serve the Asia Pacific region and later to provide one-stop routes to Europe.
..
Dixon said the 787 won on price and fuel efficiency. He also said that a week ago Boeing guaranteed it could deliver the first aircraft in 2008, and called that "a pretty big determinant" of the outcome.

At the same time, Qantas also rejected ultra-long-range aircraft offerings from both Boeing and Airbus. Dixon said that neither the Airbus A340 nor the 777-200LR met its range requirments for a Sydney-to-London non-stop service.

Litt knappe marginer på dei flyene på den ruta om det er f.eks dårligt vêr etc?
