Boeing's Jet Becomes '787' With China Order (washingtonpost.com)

August 8 at 8:29 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

From the archive: " The announcement came as China signed an order at the Department of Commerce in Washington for 60 aircraft, worth up to $7.2 billion at list price. To the Chinese, the number 8 represents prosperity and good luck. It also represents the year in which Beijing will host the Olympics: 2008. Boeing said it would deliver at least one of the new planes to each of the six Chinese airlines that had placed orders in time for the Olympics." - FlightBlogger via Bookmarklet

Besieged Qantas directors to meet in NY on crisis items | The Courier-Mail

"It is understood that one of the reasons for holding this week's board meeting in New York was to hold talks with Boeing president James McNerney who is keen to sell the aircraft to Qantas, a move which could see the airline trade some of the options it holds for Dreamliners in exchange for the 350-seat 777s." - FlightBlogger

"Remember too that in most people's minds the air travel experience is measured curbside to curbside, not jetway to jetway. Southwest reaps the advantage of not only how it flies but where. Aiming off-center in many markets, it allows customers to savor the logistical ease of a Manchester, Islip or Providence, instead of the hectic snarls of a Boston, Newark or La Guardia. The legacy giants, with their reliance on mega-hub feed, can't succeed this way. Southwest is the closest thing we've got to an official airline of the suburbs." - FlightBlogger
