Gulf Air converts eight 787 options
Friday April 17, 2009
Gulf Air officially turned its eight 787 options into firm orders, lifting its commitment to the next-generation widebody to 24 and giving Boeing its first 787 orders this year. The manufacturer recorded the deal on its Orders and Deliveries website this week even though the Bahraini carrier had committed to the extra eight aircraft last summer (ATWOnline, Sept. 5, 2008). Three customers have canceled a combined 32 787 orders already this year (ATWOnline, Feb. 20). Boeing has firm commitments for a net four planes to date.
Separately, Gulf Air said summer demand to "many of its key destinations will be strong despite the current economic climate" and that it will be boosting frequencies accordingly. Flights from Bahrain to Frankfurt will increase to 11-times-weekly from nine, service to Kuala Lumpur and Tehran will become daily, flights to Bangkok and Kathmandu will be twice-daily and Manila service will rise to 12-times-weekly. Capacity on some routes, including to London Heathrow, will be increased with the addition of 777s (ATWOnline, March 5).
I am really confused
