These purchases usually playa big role in the bankruptcy of an airline. For example Sabena bought 34 new airbusses, but 10 737NG’s would have been enough. Air Canada bought A345’s they can’t afford, and USair also spend money on news RJ’s :rolleyes:. I don’t understand! If an Embraer 170 costs 15 million dollars (or something), it can only regenerate its cost in eight years, in the best case six. I’m probably completely wrong here..
