It may not be on the scale of Le Bourget or Farnborough, but it's exciting nonetheless and worthy of its own thread.
As has been mentinoed, Lion Air has firmed their MAX order while ALAFCO has firmed their NEOs. BOC Avia signed for 20 C919s while Azul took their options to firm 10 E-190s.
Up next is a press conference with Enders: http://t.co/Evia6F9I
Likely an update on the A380 situation... or something else, perhaps?
Garuda has invited the press to a press conference at 2pm. Apparently, Bombardier was also invited

So does this mean that QR is going to order some new builds now that they can convert their current A330s into frieghters?

Flight / EADS via twitter report LionAir is continuing its shopping spree, having just signed up for 27 more ATR72-600s for subsidiary Wings Air. Wings Air to become largest ATR operator with 60 aircraft.
All that's missing now is their potential widebody order which they were expected to place this month
Maybe we'll still see it in Singapore or perhaps on Obama's visit to Everett this Friday.

Quoting tdscanuck (Reply 14): The latter link has some especially nice shots from onboard.
Nice photo's thanks for the link, they only just miss out my old home on the East Coast!
I also like the shot of the window comparison to Airbus. The problem is that with Airbus you get to see outside from the air, with the 787 all you see is KPAE tarmac at present.

Japan Airlines has ordered 10 Boeing 787-9s and converted orders for 10 787-8s into the -9 model.
The airline also has options for 10 more 787-9s as part of the latest deal, it said in a statement. With this, JAL has 25 firm orders for the 787-8 and 20 for the 787-9, with 20 options for both types.
The airline plans to deploy the 787-9s on medium to long haul international routes after the 2015 fiscal year, which ends on 31 March 2016.
Quoting tozbek (Reply 17): Japan Airlines has ordered 10 Boeing 787-9s and converted orders for 10 787-8s into the -9 model.
It came as a surprise yesterday as it wasn't announced at the show and I don't believe Boeing or JAL have issued a press release. Perhaps the media got hold of it and formal announcement is still in the works... could also be one for Obama to announce in Everett on Friday. JAL Orders 10 789s, Converts 10 788s (by flood Feb 15 2012 in Civil Aviation)

Quoting flood (Reply 16): As initially discussed at the Lion / ATR press conference:
"Lion Air plans to commence widebody operations with either ten Boeing 787-8s or Airbus A330s in 2014 or 2015, says airline CEO Pak Rusdi." http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...14/15
If they're going to be using the 787 this will have to be with some leased birds as the line is backed up years past that. A330 deliveries are quite backed up but nowhere near as bad - and IT do currently have 15 on order what I can't see them taking.....

This is Lionair were talking about. I would watch the ex-im banks in Europe and the US if i were to guess what manufacturer they order from. More important to Lionair than deliverydates and Boeing vs Airbus.
We at A.net often forget that financing and state support for it often helps deals being swung in one or the other direction.

Today is the final day of the air show. A total of 100,000 tickets were on sale, and they were all sold out this morning.
Visited yesterday and wished I went on trade days instead. The crowds are maddening!
It's huaiwei...not huawei. I have nothing to do with the PRC! :)
25 lollomz: Did Merpati Nusantara place an order for the Comac ARJ-121 at the show? According with wikipedia there is an order for 40 planes in February..... ????
26 rotating14: I'm waiting anxiously for the widebody order that Lion Air is supposedly supposed to make this month. Anybody know something about this??
27 mandala499: The deal hadn't come through yet... the COMAC guys at the airshow accidentally disclosed that and then recanted what they said... according to one of
