It for sure sound similar.
Volga-Dnepr, i.e. Air Bridge Cargo HAs right now 6x748F + 8x744F - but those are very new. The oldest one is 10,7 years old, the youngest is only 6 years. So.....

Ethiopian takes 6 more 787s. I believe it was reported a few months ago that they were looking at taking the 'troubled teens'

They are going to be cheap so both parties are happy.

I believe it was reported a few months ago that they were looking at taking the 'troubled teens' This order was actually previously recorded as an undisclosed customer so today's announcement is just an identification. boeing.mediaroom.com/2015-06-17-Boeing-Ethiopian-Airlines-Announce-Order-for-Six-787-DreamlinersAirbus has once again set up live broadcasts of the two commercial announcements and the flying display which are available on youtube. Below is the link for the announcement in 15 minutes time.

The 748f isn't dead yet!, Volga-Dnepr signs MoU for 20 747-8Fs! If firmed, it will probably be the most significant order at this year's show, as it will keep the 747 program running for a few more years The article says "These additional 20 airplanes will be acquired through a mix of direct purchases and leasing over the next seven years" that's less than 3 planes a yr ! So Boeing will need more orders to keep the line going til 2023 ?

So this was the hard fought competition that Boeing was seeking to displace Airbus from, correct?
