Airbus scores Air Asia order
http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/041216/15/3pasb.html
Seems like there is no stopping Airbus at the moment, and Malaysia are due to decide on a replacement for their 737s soon too. --==++AJC++==-- |

Nik Yep. I was on a 320 last month for the first time in a couple of years, and you really do notice the difference compared with a 73G, it feels more spacious, more modern, quieter. --==++AJC++==-- |

My problem with the 320 is that the windows are too small and the beltline is too low. I get really claustrophobic in one. |

Seems discounting, at least according to Boeing, was up to 60% Don't fool yourself. Even if Boeing is right that a discount of unto 60 percent were offered by AI this can only be because Boeing itself had offered a discount on their product - relatively speaking - not too significantly lower. Relatively speaking if Boeing had only offered 20% AI would have offered 25%. The matter is that this in no way goes against my belief that the NG decision was wrong. The old - even if improved - design of the 737 also represents old - even if improved - manufacturing techniques. "Old" in this context does not only means the product itself but also they way it is made! Nik Nik |
