Jump to postThe main problem Embraer has with the ENERGIA product is engines: there are no engines in the market that would make an aircraft either viable and/or profitable overall. I am not sure when we will have anything but, until then, I guess Embraer will not even talk about it. The other overall issue wit...

Jump to postLet's agree on the fact that most of the people taking these decisions nowadays on Airlines (ordering aircrafts and handling their fleets) are executives - they probably only know as far as they are briefed - so sometimes this things happen.

Jump to postThe issue on the A220-300 on EgyptAir and on Air Senegal is the usual issue any aircraft will encounter on any said airline: it is the wrong type for their strategy.

Jump to postI take this with a pinch of salt. It is clearly a maneuvre to push creditors towards restructuring debt. LATAM did this to extricate themselves from deals which they no longer wanted but could not renegotiate and also to ditch the A350s which did not work for them. If you look into the press overall...

Jump to postIn fact, Airbus will probably launch the A220-500 sooner or later to fill this gap. Upgrading facilities in Mirabel, Qc, can lead to an increase in output to respond to the demand.

Jump to postI think the likelihood of this order happening now is pretty much zero. Not really.

Jump to postI still believe it was a mistake to drop the A350, as it would have offered more capacity and range on some GRU routes. However, once that decision was made standardizing around the 787 makes sense.. They will just have to increase frequency on the 77W routes that go out full.. You might argue with...
Jump to postYou might argue with that based on TAM's strategy - replacing the B77Ws gradually by the A359 and A35K as and when they did come to service. But post-merger with LAN Chile, it did not make any sense since they do not use Airbus WBs on their fleet - only B787s. TAM over ordered the A350 when the Bra...
