Malev s Long Haul Fleet Renewal

[KrisYYZ]

Malev is well into the renewal of its short-medium haul fleet. 2-737, 1-738 and 3-736’s have been delivered in the last year; there will be 12 737NG in Malev’s fleet. Malev is now selling there two 767-27G ER aircraft to an un-known customer (maybe Japan Air force, just a guess). The 767’s were delivered to malev in 1993 and are equipped with powerful CF6-80C2-B4F engines indended for –300ER aircraft. With both Malev's scheduled long-haul flights along with they’re over seas and Asian charter operations a success; they're in the final steps of acquiring new long-haul aircraft. They are many possibilities, new 767’s, 777 or A330. Personally I would love triple 7’s in Malev’s fleet, but because of its size and price I think it’s unlikely. Airbus 330’s are great planes and would fit Malev’s requirements perfectly, but does it make sense to add Airbus planes into an all Boeing fleet?

Does any one have any further info on this?

Thanks, KrisYYZ

I've voted for the A330, the most beautiful modern longhaul aircraft for me.

But I miss those DC-10's and L1011's

I think a country like Hungary doesn't need 777's. A 767 or a A330 would do the trick. Voted for 767 though

I voted for the 777 although I think the 767 or A330 would be big enough for them as Bart said

Also the 767. Big enough, trusted and proved and low maintenance costs. Besides that it would fit good with the 737's they already fly. So one of them yesterday at AMS.

I did not vote, because I am against the multiplication of polls in this forum.

But I think Malev will choose the 767.

When you write

2-737, 1-738 and 3-736’s

I guess you mean:

2-73G, 1-738 and 3-736’s (the 737-700 is abbreviated to 73G)

I voted for the 772... All are wonderfull aircrafts, but a 777 is my favourite ...

i prefer the 777-200 to extend because i like the aircraft a lot and it is very good in fuel savings and not a lot of exhaust and noise is down ... the people would complaine less about noise .... i still also like the airbus but 777 is better for me as i am on b747 now so if we change not much conversion has to be done ...

I vote for the B767-300. I think, Malev don't need such big aircrafts, the airline is too small. I don't think, if they choose for an A330 or B777, those flights wouldn't be very full.
And since they have already a B767, they know how to handle with it, and they don't have to spend money for new trained crew, to work with a B777 or A330.
