Like the 777-200LR, the A345 is a niche market airplane with little demand.

One has to question why IT even considered the A345 knowing full well it has inferior fuel burn to the 777-200LR...its not a surprise that TG are disposing of their machines and that orders in general for the A340 are unlikely ever to recover given the current price of fuel/oil.
