Airlines grab lion's share

摘要

At this year's Farnborough air show, all five major manufacturers announced orders and commitments, with some more strategic than others. Indian carrier Vistara, a joint venture of Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, continued to commit to the Airbus narrowbody family, but because it is about to start international operations, the carrier selected the Boeing 787-9 model, which it will receive between 2020 and 2021. Its Airbus A320 letter of intent (Lol) included 13 firm A320neo/A321neo aircraft and the carrier also opted to lease another 37 new A320neo-family aircraft from leasing companies.
