According to an article on hln.be and luchtvaartnieuws.nl, the Brazilian carrier TAM has signed a temporary contract to buy 22 A350's and 4 A330's. The planes will be delivered between 2013 and 2018 (2011 for the A330's, to expand their routes).

TAM will be the first Latino-American carrier to fly the A350 on long-haul flights.

seems to me airbus has about 500 "orders" of this type on the books this year. it will be interesting to see what they actually turn into real orders.

Is a MOU, Memorandum of understand not something as a letter of intent or LOI.
It is "temporary" until its terms become a contract, I guess.
They will have to clarify some key points, the delivery dates or the price maybe?

Goto Investopedia and search for MOU, there.

Hello

What is the comparison between the orders from the B787 and A350??
Who has at present the control in the long-term fight?

It seems like two ways of counting orders - aggressive at Airbus and conservative at Boeing: I think that this means that Airbus will have to advise the market of debookings in the future. For example, one Airbus order is for 100 A320 to a company that currently operates a fleeet of 7 regional turboprops. Kingfisher is a beer company with grandiose dreams.

787 has firm contracts from Korean Airlines, JAL, Northwest, Qantas, Singapore Aeroflot, Virgin Atlantic, Air India, Air Canada, All Nippon, etc and the A350 has MOU's from Kingfisher, Qatar, Yemeni, Afriyuch, etc

The A350 has some contracts now like US Airways, Aeroflot- MOU?, Singapore - MOU?
