so will Air Canada place an order for A350 and A340 later???

thanks for yr reminder, i almost forgot the important order of EK

Will TAM enter skyteam? TAM has recently ended its relationship with Air France and got closer with American Airlines. I think TAM will enter oneworld soon

so is this the last order at the Paris Air show? I am wondering that will there any airlines order aircraft at the weekend.

I doubt Hainan Airlines will order the A380. If it does, Cathay should be the customer before Hainan ordering it.

I think CX should change their mind by ordering A350/B777-300ER instead of A340-600HGW.

Since Cathay Pacific is unhappy with A340-600's performance, and CX is happy with its A330s, I think they should change their choices to A350/B777-300ER.

I saw a post in the Airwise Discussion Forum.
"AF says NO to MH SkyTeam entry; wants TG; MH eyes oneworld "
