  • Qatar Airways considering being launch customer for new 777-9x!

    http://news.yahoo.com/qatar-airways-...JRM38AjHfQtDMD

    Qatar Airways is talking to Boeing about being a launch customer for a successor to its mini-jumbo, the 406-seat 777-9X, Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said at the Paris Airshow on Monday. The airline is also looking at exercising options for a further 30 787-9 Dreamliners on top of 30 787s already confirmed, he told reporters.

    Despite its interest in the new model, Qatar Airways placed an order for nine more of the existing 777-3000ER model on Monday, including seven to be firmed up at a later date.
    So, an interesting read, really. Ordering more 777-300ERs, looking to take more 787-9s, considering the 777-9x, and then categorically denying the 787-10 in favor for the A350, while ordering more A330s. When you have options, and money - damn.
    Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.
