Can't afford ah dou? Boeing has lost orders again!
Qantas just announced that it will buy 20 Airbus A321XLR aircraft and 20 A220-300 jets. Qantas has also been granted the right to purchase 94 Airbus aircraft, but this needs to be approved by the board of directors in June next year and has not yet been implemented. It was the largest order in Qantas history and was worth billions of dollars.
Qantas said deliveries of Airbus' new aircraft began in mid-2023 and lasted more than 10 years to replace the company's old fleet of 75 Boeing 737s and 20 717s. In other words, Qantas has made the choice to abandon Boeing and make Airbus the preferred supplier to its domestic fleet.
Due to the sluggish aviation industry, Qantas expects to lose between 250 million and 300 million Australian dollars (about 1.1 billion yuan to 1.4 billion yuan) in the first half of this year, but Australia has reopened its borders, tourism is about to rebound, Qantas' good days are coming back, so now is a good time for the airline to buy new aircraft, and Airbus will also give a discount to finalize orders.
Airbus is also a happy week, Singapore Airlines has signed a letter of intent with Airbus to buy seven A350 cargo aircraft, and said that compared with the Boeing B747, The Airbus A350 will reduce carbon emissions by 400,000 tons. At the same time, KLM's narrow-body airliner order is also intended to be handed over to Airbus, which is the third airline to "abandon the wave and throw it into the air" recently.
Boeing is not the first time to lose orders, before his family loss is too bad, want to sharply increase the price to fill the hole, which knows that Europe's largest low-cost airline Ryanair does not buy it, directly abandon the previously negotiated $33 billion (about 210 billion yuan) big order, but also mocked Boeing to increase the price by more than 10% is a delusion.
