      • Leahy: A322 Not Needed, "We Own This (MOM) Market"

        “Our A321 is our “Middle of the Market” aircraft, and at up to 240 seats, it is doing a fantastic job,” continued Leahy. He saw no reason to extend the aircraft to an A322. “At 240 seats, all 18 inches wide, I see no reason to change things,” Leahy said. “At 80% market share, we own this market.”
        True, but I am disappointed that we won't see what the next iteration in the A320 family will look like any time soon.

        Seems Airbus is willing and able to rest on their laurels and take profits. Good on them!

          I doubt Airbus needs A322 when there is an option to provide 240+ seater with widebody A332.

              EP-IFA has been flying the revenue flights since 17-Jan-2017. IR has placed this aircraft on domestic service. Very strange i was expecting it will fly to destinations like Dubai.

                  It would've been nice if they put the Iran's flag in medium size next cockpit window.

                  What route is it to be used on?

                          Malindo is going to operate KUL-JED via Ahmedabad in India.

                          What's the range of B737-900ER ?

                            Emirates considering adding narrowbody capacity

                            Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) is considering narrowbody aircraft given their 'tighter cabins and fewer amenities' airline President Tim Clark has told CNN.

                            In an interview with Richard Quest, Clark said three studies had been submitted to the carrier for consideration. As such, over the next eighteen months, a decision will be made on whether to add aircraft such as the A320 from Airbus Industrie or the B737 from Boeing, combining that with an order for smaller widebody jets, or continuing to buy widebody aircraft exclusively, he said.

                            Coupled with Dubai World Central's greater terminal and gate capacity, the narrowbody jets could allow the carrier to develop thinner routes currently unsuited to its existing fleet of ninety-two A380-800s, ten B777-200(LR)s, ten B777-300s, and 128 B777-300(ER)s.

                            The Dubai-based carrier has yet to make a decision on whether to order the A350 or B787 given it axed an order for seventy A350s back in June 2014. Among the types under consideration are the A350-900/-1000 and the B787-9/-10.

                            "When the time is right we will decide," he said. "But so far, we are just biding our time to see which way it all pans out."
