I saw in the French News (TV5 Journal de France2) today that the Chinese President arrived in France for a visit and so that it was said that the Chinese Airbus order might be signed soon. Fabien

Hopefully so ! I hope for 150 A330s ! For sure, that is optimistic ! Any large deal may however be delayed ...

ANA has sadly chosen the 777X over the A350 however they have chosen to order 7 A320neo and 23 A321neo. www.anahd.co.jp/en/pr/201403/20140327.htmlFor the Boeing aircraft, the breakdown is 20 777-9x, 6 77Ws and 14 789s ANA's A320neos will be delivered between 2016 and 2018 and their A321s between 2017 and 2023. I surprised Airbus still has such early slots although with a carrier like ANA, Airbus was making sure they weren't left empty handed after they'd lost the widebody contest.

Thank you for the news, jkkw, though in the past you would have been beheaded for delivering that unfortunate message!
The narrowbodies is what saves you.

Thank you for thye news, jkkw, though in the past you would have been beheaded for delivering that unfortunate message! The narrowbodies is what saves you. Thank goodness we're not living in the past then, I like my head, couldn't imagine how I could live without it! And without the nb's I'm afraid my likings of this airline would be much lower than it currently is (I hope you know why I no longer like you that much Silkair). jokes aside I wonder how they messed up the catalougue prices so badly

Why no 787-10s in the mix? It would appear that they're going to use the 77W to fill in the gap between the 787-9 and the 777-9? Airbus was making sure they weren't left empty handed after they'd lost the widebody contest. Well, I think the order makes sense. ANA already operates 787s, 777s, and A320s. Makes sense for them to keep to the Boeing widebodies and Airbus narrowbodies. But yeah, I cannot hide my disappointment though. Was hoping for an ANA A350. I wonder how they messed up the catalougue prices so badly Um...the figures are all in Yen?

It all makes sense - they have still 39 787 on order + 27 they operate, even more so with 777 - 3 on order + 54 they operate. To introduce new type would not be too logical. We might be happy they probably decided that 737NG are not so terrific even if they operate 18 of those and have another 7 on order (together with their subsidiaries it is 42 pcs - but a lot of those went to them.
i.e. realistically I would consider this as success. Also worth considering is that most of their 320s are old models 211 close to 20 years old, so in not so far future they will all go away, as is rapidly happening.

On the French language "Avia forum", Poncho points out that ANA's selection leaves a gap between the 789 and the 779. Baroque just made the same remark in his latest post.
Is a "787-10 vs 359/350-1000" contest possible in the future ?

Looking at the current 77W fleet, the 777-9 will most likely have a 4-class cabin with just up to 300 seats. The 787-9 with a 2- or 3-class cabin will have 250 to 350 seats. I don't think there's a gap in the ANA fleet, they just have another fleet strategy.

The importance of the NEO's entry into ANA's fleet should not be underestimated. Much larger orders must be expected from ANA in this market segment in upcoming years ...
