Congrats FR! Looking forward to seeing the MAX-10 in their colours
I hope they'll be *slightly* more comfortable than W6's cramped A321s.
What I'd be interested in is what the implications of this order are on the Lauda Europe operation. FR extended the A320 leases in the summer of last year I believe, and nowhere in the press release notes does it indicate that this new order will be used to partially replace Lauda's A320s, with 50% of these instead being targeted towards replacements for the oldest 737NGs. I wonder if FR will decide on ordering additional second-hand A320s for expansion purposes, as many more will be coming online as other airlines transition to the A320-NEO family? I personally hope that the A320 will remain in the FR group, as it does feel more spacious compared to the 737, and lacks the hideous bright yellow interior that FR uses.
