Someone is taking the sips(anag) - perhaps Mr. Boeing is having a wet dream
Adding to the commercial pressure on Qantas is Air New Zealand's recent order for up to 52 777s and 7E7s for delivery from September next year, and last week's order from Singapore Airlines for up to 31 777-300ERs.
From memory I think the figures stated were 8 773's and 2 plastic 7E7's (but only if they meet the expected criteria for range and consumption), and options for 42 (which is Air NZ dreaming!)
