Any news on BA 777X order? ... If any ! Do they need it ? They are evaluating the aircraft with a view to it being the long term replacement for many of their 744s I believe. WW loves the 777. |

They've already placed orders to replace their 747s. A combination of A380s, A350s and 787s. Any 777Xs would be to replace existing 777s. Geoff |

Jet Airways probably was not in a position to fund any major purchase for the moment (see the recent postponement of its 787 orders). So, changing for the MAX and thus deferring deliveries killed two birds with one stone.

Apologies if this isn't the right thread to post under, but I thought it may be of some significance considering the looming widebody order by Delta. Ex-Im financing saves foreign carriers about 3%: Anderson- Delta Air Lines chief executive Richard Anderson claims that US Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) loan guarantees for widebody aircraft save foreign carriers about 300bp versus commercial rates. - Delta has filed multiple lawsuits to stop Ex-Im loan guarantees for widebody aircraft to airlines that are investment grade and government owned, including Air India, Emirates, Korean Air and LATAM Airlines Group. It claims negative economic consequences from the credit support. |

DL has been leading the campaign by USA airlines against the EXIM bank.
I wonder whether DL would be interested in taking advantage of a French loan or credit enhancement that could be offered to help fund a large Airbus order. That would be the symmetrical situation to EXIM bank funding a Boeing purchase by Emirates. It would showcase distortions brought about by government-backed export finance institutions.
