I wouldn't be surprised to see CX ordering some A380's.

"We believe that it could be centred on a mix of B787s and a sprinkling of A380s as well as A340-600s." said Turnbull.

I'm surprised they wouldn't want to keep fleet commonality and have A380's, the A346's and A350's. It would make more sense than having a hodgepodge of different airplane types.

I hope CX will order the A350s.

Next customer could become one of the Cheiks from the Emirates ,who finally decided that an A 340 is a little small as privat jet....

I wouldn't expect any new orders in the next weeks. Airbus has gotten orders over the past few weeks/months, but hasn't officially announced them.

Le Bourget 2005 will become the time when Airbus will announce all those orders at once ! I wouldn't be surprised if some of those orders wrer for 380 or even 350 !

Greetz,

Airbus stated recently they expect 50 A350s order for Paris Air Show and 50 more for the end of the year.

let's see who didn't order it yet....

Austrian?(not likely)

perhaps JL will get a few eventually for high density Japan routes

HorsePower · Post by **HorsePower** » 29 Apr 2005, 19:26

No, JL and NH are likely future B747-Adv customers...

I too beleive that Airbus has something up its sleeves. Airbus loves the spot light, no better place to do it than the Paris Airshow.

I would put my money on Emirates putting a follow on order or convertion for the A380-900 model.

Cathy Pacific should also place some order maybe for six.

Last week i read in the newspaper ( de financiele telegraaf ) that KLM is not intressed in the A380 ( its way to big for klm, they have just 2 routes - according to there spokesman - where they can use an a380. According to there spokesman the next generation "big " airplanes will be the 747adv.

It would be very nice to see AF-KLM becoming one of the very few groups around the world to operates both B747-Adv and A380s. Also, I strongly expect that KLM will order some B777-300ERs.

I know one airline that wont order the A-380, that is Continental Airlines. We have ordered the 787. I still cant imagine loading a thousand bags or so.

My few bucks on Air china (between 2 to 5 aircrafts?).

Horsepower wrote:CX stated recently they are not in a hurry to buy any new widebodies at the moment.

Currently, CX is interrested by:
A380-800 or B747-Adv (I would go for A380)
A340-600 or B777-300ER (I would go for B777)
A350-800 or B787-800/900 (I would go for B787)

Since the specs of the A350 have changed, I going to change my stance:

A380-800 or B747-Adv (I would go for A380)
A340-600 HGW or B777-300ER (No idea!)
A350-800 or B787-800/900 (I would go for A350)

Paris Airshow order: the latest A380 customer is Kingfisher, it orders 5 A380 and other 10 Airbus widebodies (including 5 A350 and 5 A330)

Any chance of adding another new A380 customer in the Airshow?

Congratulations, Airbus!

No.

Any chance of adding another new A380 customer before the end of the year?

It is not impossible said N. Forgeard, CEO of Airbus SAS.

(Mesdames) Messieurs, faites vos jeux!

Airbus in Talks to Sell A380 to 3 Chinese Airlines

Good night Luchtzakers!

I doubt Hainan Airlines will order the A380.

If it does, Cathay should be the customer before Hainan ordering it.

I hope Airbus will grap some other orders for the A380 within this year.
The five from Kingfisher is good, but they need a little more to underline
the success of the megaliner. I hope that C will go for it and maybe BA the
one or the other day !

rgds,

A380-800

I'm still waiting for the moment that an VIP A380 will be ordered by someone from the middle-east. Well, that would be one hell of a private jet, lot's of room for stuff like a pool, golf course you name it. One can put so much things in a A380, and for some people from the middle-east money is not the problem.
