Has anything more been heard about the Lion Air order for 60 737-800's and -900's?
Seems the original order was for 60 frames (source: Forbes) yet Boeing lists the order as 30 on their website.
I also seem to remember there was some question about how Lion Air was going to actually pay for these planes. Any news on that?

Always a bad sign to launch a new variation with a vaporware order.
The press release you linked to says the 737-900ER will have an EIS in mid-2007. So Boeing is going ahead? Anyone have any details on when the first 900ER will role out?

If we're going to talk vaporware orders what is the status of Primaris....
If the order makes the OEM website it should be considered cast in stone unless the company itself does a FLYI. .. ..

Primaris was never counted as an order. Primaris does not show up as a customer on any of the Boeing 'Order and Delivery' webpages.

Who gave you the authority to designate what is vaporware and what is not???? LOL... I find these posts very humorous. I guess Boeing is a fool signed up for vaporware. lol...
SpiceJet has also signed for the 739ER. Are they in your vaporware order book too? lol... sorry...
give us a hint on next weeks Vaporware post? I'm dying here to know...

My definition of a Vaporware order is an order from an airline that is either very small or brand new that orders a s-load of planes, and then you never hear from them again.
60 frames from an airline that has never ordered new before is an eyeopener.
If my topics somehow offend you feel free to not read them.

Well I guess we should just consider the sub-Asian/Indian market "vapor" since these large "vaporware" orders come from carriers based in those markets:
• Lion Air's 739ER order.
• IndiGo's A320 order.
What next, we call Air India's 68-plane 777/787 order vaporware? How about Kingfisher and Indian Airlines large Airbus narrowbody orders?

No, not like JetBlue.
JetBlue had major investors and came together rather quickly.

How do you know LionAir doesn't have major investors? Because you haven't heard of them? Sheesh.

Didn't Ryanair and easyJet start off with leased aircraft though.
Thus they didn't order straight from Boeing to start with. and once they did place their orders they were the largest LCC's in Europe.

No, because a Google search for LionAir Investors brings back very little information.
I also read they were having trouble lining up financing.
And what do you mean by LionAir and IndiGo being in the same market?

I don't read Hindi either, but there seems to be plenty of information about Indian carries through Google, so I don't know what your point is other than to be ignorant and combative.
When President Yudhoyono visited Washington DC in May they said they would pay for the aircraft with bank loans, yet no news has been forthcoming.

Well this airline already operates a fleet of 30 plus MD-80s IIRC so they at least have a lot more infrastructure in place than some other "start ups" or "small carriers"

No they have not. However, they have expressed an interest in buying the model. Get your facts right or maybe "vapor" world is too enjoyable.

Not according to this report, fair use excerpt
By Soraya Permatasari
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- PT Lion Mentari Airlines, Indonesia's biggest budget carrier, has obtained $3.7 billion in loans to fund the purchase of 60 planes from Boeing Co., Bisnis Indonesia reported, citing a company official.
For full financing details I suggest you place a call to the Export-Import Bank, the one owned and operated by the Government of the USA. I've no doubt they would be more than willing to provide you with the financing they have arranged for Lion Air. What? With you being a Federal Taxpayer and all, surely you deserve an answer, no?
Quoting Clickhappy (Reply 9): JetBlue had major investors and came together rather quickly
The U.S. Governments money is more highly rated than that of Mr George Soros whom was one of the seed investors in JetBlue
Quoting Clickhappy (Reply 2): Anyone have any details on when the first 900ER will role out?
The caveats in those loans indicate that Lion Air will take delivery of their first 739ER in May 2007. If not a 739ER it will be a 738.
Quoting Clickhappy (Reply 12): No, because a Google search for LionAir Investors brings back very little information
When it comes to financing a Credit Risk such as that of said operator. There is a whole lot more to the world than Google, I suggest you use it. Here's a starter, The International Finance Review. Good hunting.

I dont know where I mocked them but whatever you say. If I was going to mock it would look something like "Isn't New Zealand an Australian state?"
See the difference?
I am glad that LionAir is going to be getting these planes, and I can't wait to photograph them @ BFI.
I find it odd that so many small airlines are planning such explosive growth. Another example os the head of Air Asia saying he wants to have 400 planes (in what seems like a very short period of time).
