Paris Air Show - Le Bourget 2005 orders

[BBKing]

Any idea about the identity of the European airline which may order new planes ??

Did Lufthanse at the end decide to replace their ± 60 B737's by A320's? Is BA going for the A380?

[B744skipper]

Still, it is really obvious Boeing got the 'good' orders, while a lot of Airbus orders are from startups & airlines that haven't even started yet...

Who knows what else is to come...

Here is a critical article about the airlines that have made such huge orders. The article is written in the context of the Qatar order, and both A and B will be hurt if his prediction is true (so no A vs. B war intended here).


A little military order has also been placed:

Chile is expected to place an order this year for two or three A400M military airlifters, becoming the second export customer for the European planes after South Africa, an industry source said on Thursday.

Okay, now we are listening. If Airbus sells a lot of planes to start up companies or some strange arab company, it is not a real order.
So every sell that Boeing makes to Emirates or Oman will also not be calculated. Okay, I understand.

Maybe IB going for some A350 ? I don't see LH nor AF/KL ordering any planes for the moment except some regionals...

I'm still waiting for Iberia, TAP and Aer Lingus.

Actually, I wasn't talking about Qatar. They are an achieved airline, and will probably trive with the A350.
What I intended were the Indigo (100 A320) and the Kingfisher (A380 for an airline with a couple A320?). Off course they can very well succeed, but there are more risks involved than selling ILFC a couple of 737 & 777...

And about Primaris: they served their purpose: launch the 787. Expect the orders to be cancelled in the future...

[B744skipper]

Germanwings has ordered: 18 firm A319s and 12 options.

Also 40 A320s have been ordered by another company who's name will be announced by the end of the month.

[cathayoneworld]

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

[Jense]

Also remarkable is that Boeing didn't sell any 787's!

[BBKing]

Airbus also announced an order for 1 A340-600 for an undisclosed VIP client. Who is going to fly this enormous VIP-jet?

Airbus says also to expect more A350 orders the coming days ....
