77W to Haneda? Add one more to the fleet? The next round of MAX delay negotiations could include a discounted Triple. Delivery times are fairly minimal currently, and essentially guarantees Boeing the next wide body order due late this decade, if they phase out the 330
Etihad could offload one. USA does well so they wouldn't want to pull back anymore to cede any share.
The triple fleet can ride out this decade.
737/777/ATR would tick that fleet simplification box. It also enables them from next decade to be MAX8, MAX10, 777-8, ATR without much fanfare.
Can you park 330's in Nelson?
