Flight Global talks with AA's VP of Operations, Bob Redding, about narrowbody fleet renewal. Bob's underlying point is that a new engine with up to 30% increases in efficiency is necessary for the next quantum leap in narrowbody aircraft design to occur. He said AA is looking for a plane that will carry about 150 people.
He also notes AA is considering the A350 and 787, although widebody fleet renewal isn't as important as replacing the narrowbody fleet. He also said the A380 is likely too large for AA. No real new information, but a slightly different take on the topic and an interesting read, none-the-less.
