Orders thread 2010

Emirates has a order for 30 more A380 on temporary hold.
As soon as the new International Airport of Dubai is in service and able to reach the desired handling flow the order for 90 A380 will be extended with 30 more planes; gaining a total of 120!!!A380.

If you read the original article on Reuters, the term ´order´ or even ´order on hold´ sounds a little premature. Emirates has a certain long term planning and in that planning they count on 120 A380s. However, from the article it doesn´t look like they have ordered anything yet, "only" the known 90 yet.

"We would like some more but we are going to run short of space," he said. "120 was the baseline figure that the planners worked to get where we needed to be, but we couldn't order that amount because it was too many for here so 90 was a compromise."

The carrier will order more when it gets additional space at its home base in Dubai, he added.

BA Cityflyer has converted two options for Emb.190 into firm orders. The new planes will be delivered in 2011 already.
More new on Luchtvaartnieuws, which by the way is misstating the existing fleet. The Embraer fleet consists of 6 Emb.170 and 5 Emb.190, not the other way around.

Airbus has announced an order from the China Aviation Supplies Holding Company for 102 aircraft, of which 66 are described in the press release as being new orders. The "new orders" comprise of 10 A350XWBs, 6 A330s, and 50 A32Xs.
I suspect that the 102 is reached by adding the 36 aircraft in the deal reached by China Southern yesterday.

Not yet a firm order, but a highly surprising move:

Skymark Airlines (BC/SKY) of Japan, has signed a letter of intent to order 4 A380-800s from Airbus, with options on an additional two.
Considering that the current fleet of this low cost airline is 12 B738s, this seems to be a rather bold/risky move. The airline stated that the firm order will likely be signed in spring next year.
