Interesting question, since it`s the only time an airline has switched. I`ve heard it argued it was down to
a very hard to resist deal on the Rollers. My take on it FWIW was that the Trent 1000 performed better
for take-off in the thin air of Addis & they went with the engine that suited them best. Subsequent orders
have still gone to RR so I assume they are happy with the change.
Obviously the recent Trent 1000 troubles have caused the airlines hardship, but I think the concensus
amoung AV geeks is that it isn`t very likely for any airline to change because of it, although someone
on these pages mentioned that DY were going to change to GEnx, but I`ve never seen confirmation of it.

I can't help but wonder about the economics of owning/leasing a single aircraft of any fleet group. In referring to Air Tanzania, (which lets be honest, probably haven't got an endless supply of cash) how is it financially viable to operate a single 787?
Please excuse my ignorance, but there have always been discussions with the A380 about needing to operate a certain number for it to be profitable/viable for an airline. Surely the same must be said for a new 787?
Thanks

I guess it also depends on the airline. Prior to Qantas ordering the addition 6 789's they had been on record in saying that a minimum of 12 frames was the bare minimum for it to be economically viable to operate a fleet whether it be 787's or something else
