"Nothing new...and the title of the article is clearly misleading."

I agree with that since the article mentions 11 aircraft for 2009 which is consistent with what has been said many times in recent articles and interviews.

the article starts by stating that:
The carrier is benefiting, amid the aviation downturn, from a decision taken in 2007 to put the brakes on capacity growth in 2010 and 2011.

2011 is also the year from which EY should start receiving the first A/C from the massive 2008 farnbourough order.

it also says: It also decided in 2007 to push back the delivery of the first two of 10 Airbus A380 super jumbos until 2012.

Isn t it Airbus that imposed the delay on EY?
