As for config of 787 will they even bother with premium, TOM said they wouldn't have it if APD wasn't reformed so we must assume they wont so therefore will MON.

X-C...the current LH flying is driven as a direct result of the charter market desire to serve these markets i.e. outside of the big VIs there is no-one (or very few) who wish to take that risk. When the 787s eventually get delivered the ZB offering may be a different animal and there may be an appetite to do it's own LH flying...who knows?

787 not coming
 

I believe GIRESP may unfortunately be on to something -My engineering friends tell me that indeed the 787's have been cancelled as part of the deal for the B738'S coming.....we will see when the 'big' announcement is made if this is true ?

The 787 order has been cancelled by all accounts, announcement due soon regarding 738

confirmation i.e. evidence please

why? this is a Rumour Network, not CSI

either believe it, or pop your head back in the sand.

Ive heard Air Kilroe are taking them instead........

Does any know when the announcement will be placed?

The rumour I hear is that Manx2 is keen to get their hands on them for the Isle of Man - Gloucester service and Loganair is wondering if they could land on the beach

It was meant to be mid june then mid august and then mid august and then another 4 weeks was needed.... Has it got something to do with the Boeing 737 MAX spec needed to weigh against the A320 NEO. Now that we have a clearer picture we may have an announcement in the not so distant future.
I know that the 737 MAX won't be available before 2017 but since the 787 is late and some compensations are negociated, all of it may be put together in the negociations with interim/stop gap solution before a definite order is made.
It is just an assemption but since there is not much com, we can only speculate.

Heard airbus have come up with a new offer which is being considered

Benod,
Can you read what I said.
We are all speculating.
Where did you read Monarch has cancelled the B787 and where did you read they have oredered some B737s
No one knows.
And the rest is speculation, rumours and wild rumours.....
WE SIMPLY DON'T KNOW.

A rumour started here...?

Airline Orders: Monarch to drop 787 order? - Blog - FleetWatch - Aviation & Aerospace Blogs - FlightGlobal

On time all the time, Sorry, got carried away! :)

That rumour was started well before the update from Boeing on 'an' order cancellation made last week.

Its funny l work within Engineering and l can confirm what on time all the time is saying.
Very few people know the truth and one of the few that would know walked past my desk this morning and l did not bother asking him, because he still would not be able to say.
We are all having to wait and that includes our local Boeing rep.

If one reads between the lines think the previous post tells you all you need to know...

read between the lines...
 

738 it is then! Just leaves the question of how many?

Strong rumour of another 330 arriving soon due to extra MOD work

extra 332?
 

FSTA is on the horizon and the MoD work will dry up as soon as Air Tanker get themselves into position to hoover up ALL MoD work for the next 25 years.
