American Airlines orders 100 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners news 17 October 2008 American Airlines said Wednesday it intends to buy up to 100 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in a plan that will see the airline convert to an all-Boeing fleet. It is currently in the process of divesting itself of its fleet of Airbus 300 aircraft. At list prices, the order for an initial 42 of these aircraft will be worth about $8.17 billion, though actual prices, according to industry valuations, may be closer to $5.3 billion. Deliveries, starting September 2012, will run through 2018. American executives said the carrier had not discussed how it would finance the newer planes and was making a "very modest" down payment for them. American also said it has taken options on a further 58 Dreamliners with flexible delivery dates. Industry analysts say the order is expected to re-ignite the sales campaign of Boeing's much-delayed 787 programme. While the 787 is the most successful sales campaign in history for a jet that is yet to fly, already notching up 895 orders, 2008 has seen sparse orders of just 78. Though Boeing does not provide delivery slots to other customers any time before 2016, American has secured early deliveries, as soon as 2012, because of a long-term agreement with Boeing that provides preferential delivery slots to the carrier. Under a 1996 agreement American identifies Boeing as a "preferred provider" and has signed up for the supply of 600 jets over two decades. The agreement remains in force though it was formally dropped in 1997 as a pre-condition to the European Union approving Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas. Notably, American has not ordered an Airbus jet since. American executives said that the Airbus offering, the A350XWB, was not due to enter service until 2015 and the early availability of the 787 "was one factor" in the choice. http://www.domain-b.com/aero/airlines/20081017_american_airlines.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 以上簡單說就是 1. AA 訂購了787-9飛機*100; 42架是確認訂單, 58架是optional 2. 交機時程將從2012~2018 3. 另外也提到,基本上現在訂購客戶是不可能在2016年前交機. 然而AA與Boeing 在1996年簽署所謂特殊夥伴協定 (雖後來法律上作廢, 但仍有其默契關係) 及過去長期 往來關係使得AA 取得 別人現在所不太可能取得的delivery slot. 4. A350XWB可以給的交機時程最早是2015年, 所以就輸了. 欲知詳情就請閱讀以上原文吧. PS-版大,不介意以上的稍微翻譯一下. 若不行就告知一聲喔. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 78.32.116.233
