The board of Air India's charter airplane operation has approved a plan to acquire 18 Boeing 737-800s for use by subsidiary Air India Express.

Singapore Airlines has finalized an order for 18 Boeing 777-300ER which makes the airline the world's largest 777 operator and ties the record for the largest order of the 777-300ER. SIA has ordered a total of 77 of the twin-engine airplane family models. International Lease Finance Corp. is the only other customer to order 18 Boeing 777-300ERs. This also brings total 777-300ER orders to 104 airplanes.

Lufthansa placed an order for 7 additional Airbus A340-600s. The aircraft are due for delivery in 2006 and 2007. The airline already operates 10 A340-600s.

ince Dutchbird was taken over by the Exel group a decision was made to end the lease of its Airbus A320s earlier than planned. Instead the airline will use its fleet of Boeing 757s and is looking to add 4 Boeing 737-400s in the not so distant future.

Flyglobespan is seriously considering placing an order for the 7E7 as the airline wants to serve long range destinations like Cape Town, Chicago, Vancouver and Hong Kong from Scotland. Until these aircraft are available the airline is likely to lease a pair of long haul jets and it is looking at the 777 at this time.

Air India is planning to restart cargo operations next April with a fleet of 4 freighter aircraft. The airline is looking for 3 Airbus A310Fs and 1 Boeing 747-400F. The least would be for 5 to 7 years. In the meantime the airline is adding 3 Boeing 777-200s this month that will allow the airline to operate increased European and North American service.

Tampa Cargo took delivery of its second Boeing 767-200 Special Freighter last week. The aircraft, just like the first one, was converted from pax to cargo at IAI in Tel Aviv. IAI is converting a 3rd one for delivery in early 2005 and a 4th one is being converted by Varig.

Ethiopian Airlines is considering an order for up to 17 A350s or 7E7s and hopes to make a decision in early 2005. The Boeing aircraft could be delivered as soon as 4 years from now while the Airbus would be in 6 years.

Air Namibia which recently replaced its Boeing 747-400 with an MD11 on lease from Swiss is in final talks to add 2 Airbus A340-300s previously operated by Sabena. The aircraft would be used for its Windhoek-Frankfurt route and would allow it to resume service to London Heathrow.

Η Dutchbird αγοράστηκε από την Holland Exel, ο ιδιοκτήτης της οποίας κατηγορήθηκε στην Ολλανδία για παράνομο εμπόριο ναρκωτικών. Ο νέος ιδιοκτήτης της Holland Exel δεν ήθελε την Dutchbird, με αποτέλεσμα η εταιρία να μην πετάει πλέον.
