[新聞] 卡達航空也放棄了A350-800

[ATR72 (文人相輕自古皆然)]

持續追蹤關於A350-800的消息吧。

1.身為A350 program發起客戶的卡達航空，也將20架A350-800的訂單轉為A350-900。

2.因此目前QR共訂購了60架A350-900和20架A350-1000。

3.少了QR的撐腰，A350-800目前僅剩下92架訂單。

4.空中巴士表示，他們會彈性調整A350的推出計畫，可能A350-1000會先問世。

5.卡達航空目前仍對787-10X非常有興趣，也有意當787-10的發起客戶。


Qatar drops A350-800 for larger -900

By:   Dominic Perry Doha


Qatar Airways has shifted its order for 20 Airbus A350-800s to the larger
-900 variant further weakening the backlog for the smallest member of the
airframer's new widebody family.

Speaking at a Doha press conference after the arrival of the carrier's first
Boeing 787 on 14 November, Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker
confirmed that it had ditched its A350-800s. Its order book for the type now
comprises 60 -900s and 20 -1000s and it remains the launch customer for both
variants.

For Airbus, however, this marks the second major blow to the -800 this week
after Libyan carrier Afriqiyah Airways defected to the larger model.

Without the Qatar aircraft, the backlog for the -800, intended to be the
second variant of the twinjet to be launched, stands at 92 firm orders.

At a briefing last month, A350 programme chief Didier Evrard indicated Airbus
still had flexibility in its schedules to bring forward the
entry-into-service date of the -1000 - currently due to appear in 2017, a
year after the -800.

Al Baker reiterated his interest in the Boeing 787-10X, and hinted that Qatar
Airways could look to become the launch customer for the double-stretched
variant. It will receive a further four 787-8s this year, but has the
flexibility in its portfolio of 60 orders and options to switch between 787
models.

目前A350-800的最大客戶為US和SU，

各買了18架。



A350-1000表示：託魚翅的福，看來快要黃金交叉了(誤）。
