I had never even heard of this airline before and by looking at their current fleet of just over a dozen 738s…this looks like a big jump!
Skymark Airlines, Japan’s third largest and growing airline, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Airbus for the purchase of four A380s, the most advanced, spacious and eco-efficient airliner in service today.
The aircraft will be operated on major international long-haul routes from Tokyo. Engine choice and cabin details will be revealed at a later stage.

Well its just an MOU which is nothing more than a formal “we are interested in this product” letter.

Good record of deliveries and orders, no mention of Skymark, yet! 😉

Heh, I’m of the same opinion.

I imagine after recent events they’ll want the GE engines.

That’s the best kind of conspiracy of all. 😀

No conspiracy at all. Just good PR moves.

If you look hard enough for conspiracies, you’ll always find them.

My friend and I are both sceptical about this one. Skymark are still a fairly new outfit.
Interesting timing too. Any PR is good PR though 😉

Must be these guys.
Good news for AI if it becomes firm order:)
