Air France announced a USD$7 billion aircraft order on Thursday, split between
Airbus and Boeing. The deals include an order for two more A380 superjumbos,
the world's largest airliner whose two-year production delays have left
manufacturer Airbus facing penalties to airlines.
Air France said it had also placed orders for 30 A320-family single-aisle
aircraft from Airbus and 18 wide-body 777 long-haul aircraft from Boeing. The
Boeing 777 order is designed to help phase out Boeing 747s in the Air France
network and includes 5 cargo aircraft. Air France merged with Dutch national
airline KLM in 2004 but the two operate separate fleets and networks. Air
France had already placed orders for 10 double-decker A380s with options for
another 4. The airline exercised half of these options, bringing its firm order
for the model to 12 and leaving it with margin to buy another two later.
Air France officials said the new order for two more A380s was part of a
compensation agreement with Airbus to cover the initial delivery delays, but
that the same agreement would also include unspecified cash penalties.
