As already said by jkkw, this is another magical trick pulled by John Leahy ! Nobody had a radar that could detect the negociations ...

Boeing's turn for a really large narrowbody order (Committment for 175 aircraft including at least 50 MAX10s and options for a further 50)
Can't help but think that some over ordering has been involved in the two latest announcements by Boeing and Airbus (either that or there are some really ambitious airlines out there).

We don't know the planned delivery timelines. Some of these airlines may intend to flip their aircraft after five years, as Ryanair does or at least used to do. Implementation of this policy, however, depends on market conditions.

Well Ryanair has average fleet age right now 6,7 years and dozens of planes over 14 years of age So it is not a good example. Anyway the number of planes ordered by IndiGo partners makes sense and represent some (large) percentage of the fleets. The number by FlyDubai is peculiar it is about 4x times their fleet- but who knows in Emirates.....

Great news! Haven't heard much about A330 NEO orders lately.

Ryanair needs some older aircraft to use on beach destinations in the summer and to park in the winter. It's the rest of the fleet, flying all year round, which needs to be very young.

It seem like it’s not solely the range & capacity combination of A350-900 that make Emirates to choose 787-10. They are not happy with the rear pressure bulkhead position. “The airline also considered the A350-900, but was not happy with some aspects of the interior configuration. Only in early November Airbus showed a new layout with the rear pressure bulkhead moved aft by 2.5 ft. Clark complained to Airbus that the design should have been on the table earlier because it could have changed the picture completely. But by that time the commitment to Boeing had already been made.” m.atwonline.com/airframes/emirates-rejects-a380plus-concept-order-negotiations-continue
