Wow! Doesn't the A350XWB act as an updated 777 replacement, with near enough similar capacity and all the savings of updated technology? The A350 order is inevitable- it will be the long haul high capacity aeroplane passengers demand. The cascade of orders is just about to get underway. All the major Far East players, big European carriers will have them. Boeing and GE have effectively killed the B747-8 with their exclusive engine deal. An arrogance that is curiously commercially uncompetetive. The big question is- when will Lufthansa quietly 'change' their order for this useless aeroplane?
