Thank you, Peter for a very nice summary. I immediately realised, that my assertations of there being more RR orders than EA were old, from before EK ordered last 50 frames, and possibly older... (maybe even from times before they ordered 32 frames during an airshow in Germany) These two orders were the game changers so it's time I finally update the game in my own head... P.S. Baroque, congrats on your delivery I may arrive to Toulouse before Xmas... still in parts

Thanks a lot, peter. Like Baroque, I think we should take EK's engine choices with a grain of salt ...

But MSN2 is allegedly owned by the Saudi Government and awaiting a BBJ style fit out job.... Where do you get the number 4 from, I did not see it on the add. I think its the 3 Skymark frames and a bit of politics to move the 'rescue ANA' bid along...... mention of second hand is a bit confusing though, if it is 4, perhaps its MSN4 as well but they are probably just using stock photos......JT

The 2 Skymark seem a logic option, but Skymark 3 might only be in parts manufucturing, isn't she? So why sell her? MSN002 has been sitting idle for such a long time now. With dropping oil income the Saudi could be willing to cash on this one. MSN004: maybe the pics are just stock shots, but she's been inactive for most of the year. What's there to do for her that can't be done by MSN001? Just some thoughts...

But Airbus order sheet still doesn't show MSN02 as cancelled.
