Today's Indo is reporting that EI is to begin reviewing its t/a fleet from next month. In light of y'day's A320 deal, more A330-200s and the replacement of the older -300s by A330-300ERs can be expected. This will be of considerable interest to manufacturers, given EI's plan to increase its t/a routes considerably with the advent of open skies.
However, I wonder if y'day's Airbus deal may have dented chances of opening two new gateways this Winter or concluding a mini-deal with the US, as had been expected.
The Indo did carry a rumour a few weeks back that EI was looking at seven Boeings (they said 747s, but presumably meant 777s), so maybe EI might try to play politics. However, this seems unlikely as it would mess up commonality and EI will probably get open skies in the medium term anyway.
