Firstly condolences to the 2 teenage girls that lost their lives. Apparently one of the girls found near the plane seemed to have injuries consistent with being run over by one of the emergency vehicles. That's truly heartbreaking when someone survives a plane crash only to be run over by an emergency vehicle on the tarmac. The driver would have nightmares for years. The other girl was found close to where the tail broke off, probably ejected on impact.  |

When Asiana took delivery of LN1117 yesterday, this was the last 777-200ER on Boeing's orderbooks and likely the last -200ER delivered, as more orders are unlikely. This was also likely the last 777 without GE engines (this had PW, and the last RR was delivered a few years ago)

I would be surprised if QR doesn't order the 777X. I remember the last Dubai Airshow where he walked away from an Airbus order announcement claiming they couldn't make planes before returning a few hours later to announce a deal for neos and A380s. This statement might be similar however, if his words are to be trusted, he might feel that QR already has enough aircraft with the 787/A350/A380 or that in his opinion, the 777X won't meet the performance numbers required especially in the middle east where Tim Clark of Emirates said a water injection system may be required for the engine. Interesting times ahead. |
