#VietnamAirlines has preliminary deal for @BoeingAirplanes #777X. Specifically, 777-8s.

I was under the impression that Boeing made an offer for 778s and 787-10s that Vietnam Acknowledged. There was never a signed MOU.

I thought Sichuan already had A350s coming or is this a topup? Is this the first order between Airbus and Boeing?

The two frames A350-900 MSN52 and 55, NTU SriLankan, intended for Sichuan, are owned by AerCap.
So this 10 frames could be a direct order from Sichuan.

Almost certainly. They're cheaper without engines but much less useful.

probably the same customer switching to MAX
note the 737 allocations on the Boeing page reflect 10 NG which are the P-8s, the 1 Max is probably a typo and should be 17 max
considering how long it took Boeing to publish the page such sloppiness is maddening

Question: in such case where the original intended operator scrapped an order, do these ntu birds get delivered in their original customer interior? Or the cabin in stripped out and re-done?
Headlining the new business was Emirates’ firm order for 20 A380s, reaffirming this United Arab Emirates-based carrier’s commitment to the jetliner programme and underscoring its role as the aircraft’s largest customer. Deliveries of these latest-ordered A380s for Emirates will start as early as 2020, securing a sustainable production rate of six aircraft annually during the next 10 years.
The other transaction in February involved 20 A320neo jetliners for an unidentified customer.

Can we call this a cleanup of the orderbook, after Leahy left?
The A350-800 was very clearly canceled by Airbus when they launched the A330NEO.
Is it correct that Virgin converted their A380 orders into A35K orders?
It's a bit odd that the 8x A380 for Qantas (orders 20, deliveries & operational 12) are still in the orderbook.
Most likely they weren't ready to cancel or convert the remaining A380 orders.

Any guesses about these massive campaigns? BA? JAL? AF/KL?
BA and JAL have already ordered the A350-1000 so I don't see them ordering more in the near future, especially as neither have any yet.
It says it is "in discussions" to acquire additional A350-1000s, as it prepares to introduce the first of its current batch of 12 from spring next year.
