Re: Lets say Airbus kill the A330neo...

Funny you mention the A300 actually... it was ranged at around 4000 nmi, which kinda makes it the pioneer domestic widebody in Australia, and also the last thus far that was actually reasonably suited to the role. And more optimized for quick turn around times, unlike long "devil's bowling all...

Batik Air to convert entire A321neo order to A321LR

CAPA made an analysis of the potential impact of the A321LR. On the sidelines, it claims Batir Air will convert (or already has) its entire A321neo order to the A321LR. The A321neoLR will ultimately account for a much larger share of total A321neo deliveries. There could be more than 20 A321neoLR op...

Re: Boeing officially forms program office to flesh out 797 plans

People keep repeating this as if it is fact. I guess if you repeat Airbus fake news enough it becomes fact?
