Not KLM, but ADP, which is the Orlay airport authority.
But as stated earlier, this new order does not have anything to do with this issue. The issue concerns the -300 which are forecasted to be deployed on Carabean and Indian Ocean routes. This order is for freighters...

That is exactly what I meant hereabove. This order has already been pre-announced, annouced, and is now only approved by the board of Ryanair, but still not literally put to Boieng.
When you mention 133 for Airbus, it is definitive orders finalised not including intentions to purchase.

Lets face it, Aer Lingus does not have any viable futur besides maintaining a effective link to main european hubs. It is not a union issue, i actually find it quite surprising that they dare put the blame on a union. The issue is that they face BA, AF-KLM and Lufthansa-Swiss on transcontinental ...

US skies, like European skies, are overcrowded. There is NO room for so many legacy carriers in either continents. Europe looks set to reorganise around three or four main legacy plus a bunch of regional carriers and LCC. It is time for the US to face the same reality. Afterall, there are 500 ...

Airbus is NOT a french company.... unfortunately for some of yous who seem to take delight in applauding the embarrassement Airbus put itself in here. Contrarily to what some North American institution are claiming, it is a subsidiary of a company owed at 30% by the germans, 30% by the french, 5% by ...
