IAG LOI for 200 737 MAX
I bet Walsh squeezed Boeing real good on this one. For Level and Vueling? I thought, still think, Level has no chance to survive long term. Will be interesting to see how that develops. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisag...or-airbus/amp/ |
Yep, just like O’Leary did with the NG’s as a result of the downturn post 9/11. |
Ordering the MAX while it is still grounded I see as as poor ethics and a slap in the face to passengers it makes a mockery of safety comes first. I am personally boycotting BA in future on principal.
|
Right up until they come up cheapest on a route you want to fly. Just like almost every other passenger. |
Don`t tell o`leary about 1 or 0 pilot operations
|
The very worst of the industry, laid bare. With special thanks to locked door. |

i see it as Walsh (who is not stupid) squeezing Boeing to get a very good deal. And it's only a LOI ... which will NOT convert to orders until the Max is fully re-certified.
|
and Boeing needed a public showing of faith in the company and product, so they tempted IAG with a rediculous deal (which if it goes through includes retraining all of the LGW based crew back from Airbus to Boeing) to announce it now during the grounding.
|
Is Germany allowing Max's back into German Airspace yet?
I saw a Norwegian Max got turned away recently and had to land in Paris etc. So I presume not, |

FWIW, at this point it is a letter of intent, not an order as yet.

LOI means little these days, especially at an airshow...Probably got a real good break on the 787 orders for that 'announcement'
I dont think BA even has any single aisle Boeings in the mix, do they? One very interesting bit of news from the Airshow, Boeing is now actually considering renaming the MAX.... |

IAG signs letter of intent for 200 Boeing 737-8 and 737-10 |
I wonder which party will do the paying.
