when the 12 737-800 of egypt air ll be delivered … and what destinations will they be used ?
According to the Boeing web page, only 6, not 12, 737-800’s were ordered by Egyptair.
According to the Egyptair web page, 6 737-800’s are on order. But then on another page, they say they have ordered a dozen 737-800’s.
This means one of three things:
-
Egyptair, as is customary in the Mid-East, is speaking out of both sides of its collective mouth.
-
Boeing is fibbing about selling only 6 aircraft to Egyptair, although why they would is anybody’s guess.
-
Egyptair is only buying six aircraft and leasing the other six, even though they state plain as day they are buying all twelve.
- Or possibly they have firm orders for 6 and options for 6 more.
A little more research shows this to be true. The order was for 6 firm and 6 options. However, I didn’t find anything to indicate the options were actually taken up.
thx guys for ur help…
