Tail is hardly surprising and is line with CI's other Boeing special liveries. But I must say it looks better than I thought it would...at least in this rendering. Waiting for the actual thing. |

It is a shame that no top up order was made. Did their orders already expire? Is it possible Airbus could extend the options if negoiations are continuing? Hate to see them with just 14 aircraft when it really suits them well with the premium light configuration.

Hate to see them with just 14 aircraft when it really suits them well with the premium light configuration. The immediate situation is they have too many planes.... I do see possibilities they extend 77w lease which is a shame but... Oh well... |

Aren't they looking at placing a narrowbody order in the near future? If they are planning on taking up a few of their A350 options, perhaps they'll announce it with the narrowbody order. And who knows (well Airbus does), maybe they're behind the 8 undisclosed A350s announced at Farnborough.

Hate to see them with just 14 aircraft when it really suits them well with the premium light configuration. The immediate situation is they have too many planes.... I do see possibilities they extend 77w lease which is a shame but... Oh well... Well not sure they have too many aircraft. The 4 B747s are likely to be retired within the next 5/6 years as they are now 13-15 years old. The first 10/14 A330 they decided not to renew the cabins which are 9-14 years old. So they must be looking to dump the aircraft also within the next 6 or 7 years as the cabin will be soo out of date (otherwise think 6 inch grainy tv screens for Economy In 2025, 10 inch for business class recliner seats for up to 6 hour flights). B777 they have 10 on lease but they do seem to have a hard time fitting on to their routes. So unless the passenger market demand grows it amazing they will want to re-lease these planes. B737s are supposed to be on the way out. Orders today does not equal delivery next year or within 3 years. Compare this to BR expanding fleet size and if there is no order CI will be reducing the number of planes. |
