Orders for A350 maybe under threat The present financial situation is indeed gloomy. They need to replace a large part of their fleet, especially their eight 777-200 ER, but they may have ordered too many A350s, or arranged too early delivery dates. A deferment of some deliveries is likely, in my opinion. |

Asiana posted a press release today in Seoul that it will ditch F class on its A380s, and this is not the news pertinent to this thread, of course. The press release also mentioned that Asiana will keep bringing in new A350s and IT WILL HAVE THE TOTAL OF 19 A350s BY 2023.
Okay, Asiana will have 10 350s by end of this year, and it is said that the airline will have 30 350s by 2023. It looks like Asiana will postpone the delivery schedule a little bit. It will have 15 A321NEOs by 2023 BTW.

Since Asiana is now officially for sale, what the present management is saying carries little weight. Let's wait for guidance from the future main shareholder.

Asiana posted a press release on the 19th when it received its 9th A350 and outlined the A350 take up plan.
3 more (359's) in 2020 and 6 more from 2021 to 2023. 11 frames from 2024 to 2025, completing its order of 30. Asiana did not specify when to bring in 35K's.
According to the press release Asiana will start retiring its aging fleets leaving only 2 frames that are 20+ yo by 2023 (plus 8 cargos). It could mean it will start retiring B777's and A333's as they were delivered staring in 2002.
All the plans are being approved by its creditors represented by Korea Development Bank (KDB), and unless someone decides to liquidate this company, the fleet renewal will be processed as planned, sources say. Fleet is one of the key factors for higher bid when the entire company is on sale.

simpleflying.com/asiana-airlines-a350-issue/The aircraft registration number HL7579 was operating as flight OZ-751 with 310 people on-board. It was cruising over the South China Sea at 32,000 feet when the crew needed to shut down the right-hand engine. hey guys, I can surmise that each situation is in itself a separate event, that has to be dissected on it's own. under what conditions would a pilot continue the journey on one engine? or am I misunderstanding ETOPS, is it simply to get you to the nearest airport ASAP, or, I can make it to my destination one 1 engine?

It's to get to a diversion airport (or your destination if that's the closest) |

It's to get to a diversion airport (or your destination if that's the closest) The crew must divert to the nearest 'suitable' airport. What exactly 'suitable' means has been a subject of debate. |

All the plans are being approved by its creditors represented by Korea Development Bank (KDB), and unless someone decides to liquidate this company, the fleet renewal will be processed as planned, sources say. Fleet is one of the key factors for higher bid when the entire company is on sale. It's now official that the company is sold to HDC (Hyndai Development Company). The new owner is distantly related to Hyundai Motor Company (Used to be in a same conglomerate and the same family owned) but its main business is real estate development & construction. The new owner will recapitalize U$2 billion. This huge infusion of cash will drastically revive Asiana's financial situation. HDC's financial partner Mirae Asset will take up all of Asiana's leased fleet and start aircraft lease business. It will benefit Asiana as it can spend less on lease payment. Current plan on fleet renewal for 2020 is unchanged; 3 350's and 4 321 but it may accelerate refreshing the fleet. 2 billion dollars in cash can do a lot of things. |
