Hong Kong Airlines orders 50 Airbuses
Seems Hong Kong Airlines have announced a Memorandum of Understanding (Not a firm order yet) for 30 A320s and 20 A330s!!
Seems we have some major competition on the horizon!

what about the Boeings
what about the 787's and 30 737's they have ordered?They had better tell Boeing soon. They could end up being bigger than Dragon.......thats if theres anything left of Dragon in a few years.....

That’s good news for the crews that want another endorsement and quick commands.
One small thing though..... How are they going to get the 250 +pilots needed to crew those aircraft when they pay the F/O's ONLY 42,000 and the Captains 60 something; WITH NO HOUSING or any extras at all?
They are dreaming. Wake up management, or you will be parking those shiny new Boeings and Airbuses up against the fence. It’s a pilots market. Pay market rate or they walk. It is that simple.

The 787 was never an order...just a Letter of Intent which it seems they have not firmed up on. I think they ordered 20 737s. Not sure if that was also a LOI but between them and Hong Kong Express there are 9 of them in service already

Agree with Traffic, this looks like Hainan Airlines trying to circumvent the CAAC process. Likely most of these aircraft will be leased to the mainland branches of the Hainan empire.

Any Airbuses arrived yet?
If the bond on the 737 is $50,000 USD fixed for 5 years I hate to think what the A330 bond is. oopps I forgot it is not a "bond" it is a "training grant"

So which corrupt authority is going to give the snakes their bus ratings?
They barely can fly a 737.
S'pose all the money they saved by not paying their pilots properly can be well spent on remedial training for all the singa snakes.

As opposed to the initial proposed date of March 2008?
Heard this all before......whatever crap you've been feed, take it with a tiny tiny grain of salt. Remember your talking about the masters of lies.
Come back to us when you have something a bit closer to the truth.
