Re: Air France-KLM News and Discussion - 2023

It's sort of guaranteed (almost 100%) that the 772s will be replaced by the 78X. I am guessing a group order of 20-30 787-9/10s , with the remaining going to AF. KLM didn't want the a359 before so I doubt they will go back for them again. Is the 78X still the guaranteed 77E replacement? With the re...

I would not be surprised to see an A350 order for KLM to replace their B777s, so both A350-900s and -1000s. Originally, they had the A350 on order, so they did see the benefit of that aircraft.

Re: Philippine Airlines orders 9 A350-1000s + 3 options

A few notes; Philippine only has 9, not 10 B777-300ERs. The oldest one is from 2009, the youngest one from 2017. Five of them are leased. Based on that, I would not be surprised to see PAL move to an all-Airbus fleet, except for the DHC-8s and replace the B777s. In a previous, recent, interview, the...

Surprised they went for the A350 and not the 787.

It’ll look fantastic in the Swiss livery though.

According to Swiss' CEO, the B787 doesn't have enough floorspace to offer a "superior" first-class, which can be done by the width and length of the A350-900.
