RE: EasyJet could award 120-plane order by end of this month
You can operate both aircraft, but obviously makes sense to move forward with one product.
I think another sweet that Airbus may be dangling is the cancelled A318 orders. I keep reading of problems with the program. Perhaps for routes that don’t require the capacity of the 319/320/321 they will give them a big discount to invest in the 318. Didn’t BA reduce the size of its order?
Also, the fact the EasyJet, GO, and Deusche BA may potentially be one, an all European fleet for an airline that seems to be trying to establish itself as European rather than British would seem like an attractive marketing ploy. Maybe I’m stretching, I’m sick today 🙁
