Emirates Would Buy 100 A380neos, Agrees To Amadeo Sale-Leaseback Deals
Emirates Airline would buy 100 Airbus A380neos if Airbus decided to launch the aircraft, according to airline President Tim Clark. (aviationweek.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Still need to sell another 200 plus units to break even. Time to put the white elephant to pasture and just support parts?
Will they need 300 to break even on a stretch and re-engine?
emerates push to have this airplane will not persuade American trunk carriers or the suropean carriers to also purchase in substantial numbers. Tough call for airbus to play poker both with the market and emerates purchasing power. I would like to read the market analysis for such a plane. What model composition might tim clark be thinking about? Delivery for all 100 may take over ten years, what with certification and design. It may take more than ten years to deliver these whales.
This is a significant gamble for Emirates on two items: the price of oil stays low and Emirates are not bled out by the B-787 and A-350 series capable of bypassing the Gulf airports in comfort and lower seat cost. Personally I would take a non-stop flight from the Eastern USA to Hong Kong or Singapore than USA to Dubai to destination.
I was just getting ready to post much the same thought. Emirates needs to be very very careful about this.
To re-engine and stretch is a simple matter. If they have 100 on the table, I don't see why either
