Is Lufthansa About To Order 15 Airbus A380neos?
Lufthansa could be about to order 15 new A380 aircraft according to unconfirmed rumours. The German flag carrier currently operates 14 of the A380, with the most recent delivered in April of 2015. Lufthansa hinted that more A380s had been ordered through a tweet published on Friday. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
LUFTHANSA is up to something if they are hiring 8000 new employees in the next couple of years. They will need crews, AME's, Pilots, ground and handling crew and station managers. I believe that LUFTHANSA has a deal up its sleeve. This is a huge aircraft by any standard. LUFTHANSA is also widely regarded as one of the safest airlines in the world. So all these tidbits of information seem to indicate that something is happening with the GERMAN FLAG CARRIER. Stay tuned.
The article says that AB has not sold enough 380s to write off the investment. Well, to be even handed, Boeing has not seen a single cent in profits on the 787 program even they extended the amortization period from the industry standard max 15 years to I believe 25.
This would have to be a business decision, and at the right price. Would Lufthansa nibble if it was 15 for the price of one? About the title, is Lufthansa singular or plural?
Was this story too nebulous for even MH370 to post?

Lufthansa is singular, Luft meaning air and Hansa beeing a common latin translation of the german Hanse, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League
This has nothing to do with the topic. This is not a German language class. Thanks for the information but it is UFI on string. Thank you.
Title amended from are to is after my post
