Switching to Boeing: Silkair kjøper 54+14 737'er

Det får man kalle et kupp av Boeing .. :)

SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines (SIA), said Friday it would buy 54 new Boeing planes in a deal worth US$4.9 billion, with an option to buy a further 14 aircraft.

The airline said the order is the largest in its history and "remains subject to the negotiation of a final purchase agreement".

SilkAir said the firm orders will cover 23 737-800s and 31 737 MAX 8s, in a deal worth US$4.9 billion based on Boeing's current list prices.

Wow..vilket scoop av Boeing!
Jag trodde Silkair var en given A320NEO kandidat..

De måste sikta på en jätteexpansion samtidigt då de har 21 plan i flottan idag enligt Wikipedia.

Det er akkurat det de sier i sin pressemelding pluss flåtefornyelse.

Du kunne jo lese artikkelen, da .....

Shukor Yusof, an aviation analyst with Standard & Poor's Equity Research, said the purchase will enable SilkAir to expand across the region as it gears up for tougher competition with rivals like Garuda and Lion Air of Indonesia.

"Strengthening SilkAir will enable the carrier to become a bigger regional player and allow parent firm SIA -- which is also facing fiercer rivalry -- to focus on long-haul routes," he told AFP.

"There is a huge intra-Asia travel market that has not yet been tapped and so this would indicate to us that SIA is using SilkAir to compete against the likes of the low-cost carriers in the region," Shukor said.

Kanskje di fikk en bedre deal hos Boeing.
Det hente det same da Easyjet gikk ifra Boeing til Airbus:spin

Det kan også leses inn i dette at Airbus har solgt så mye NEO at man gjerne ikke har leveringsslots som passer Silkair. I tillegg kan også Airbus ha solgt så mange fly at de ikke er så villige til å gi tilfredsstillende rabatter.

SIA gruppen er jo kjent for å velge og vrake ganske kjapt, MD-11 til A340-300 til B777-200ER til A330-300 f.eks.
