So far, Airbus has been able to convert only one customer, Finnair (ATWOnline, March 9), to the new XWB, while it has secured new orders from Aeroflot (ATWOnline, March 23) and Pegasus Aviation (ATWOnline, Jan. 5). SIA (20), China Aviation Supplies Import and Export Group (20) and TAP Portugal (10) have yet to confirm their orders, while US Airways appears to be leaning toward the aircraft (ATWOnline, May 17).
Great, US will be able to bum parts from Finnair and Aeroflot. 😛
Look, I like Airbus planes, but think the old saying about "A bird in the" applies here. Maybe it's time for Boeing and US to let bygones be bygones and make deal for the 787.
