    Boeing will most likely prevail.

    It is obvious the USD 19.6M per frame price to DL is not 'business as usual'.

    Now that the cat is out of the bag, I struggle to believe any airline paying much more than that for the CS100. Bombardier shot themselves in the foot with this order by:

    1. Significantly devaluing its product and setting the price floor way below their costs.

    2. Picked up a totally unwarranted fight with Boeing at a time when there is so much rhetoric on 'America First' hyperbole and an unpredictable personality at the helm in US.

    3. Boeing is not just dragging Bombardier in the mud, they are also taking DL down with it and there is a real possibility that DL may end up having to pay at least part of the tax that is being discussed. This will make all the other potential US customer weary of exploring the C Series.

    Boeing says trade complaint against Bombardier designed to prevent larger CSeries
    http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/boeing-says-trade-complaint-against-bombardier-designed-to-prevent-larger-cseries-1.3434006
    Boeing says its trade complaint against Bombardier is designed to prevent the Montreal-based rival from using subsidies to produce a larger version of the CSeries plane that would directly compete with its own flagship narrowbody 737 aircraft.

    Nordwind Airlines gets new livery. Looks modern and nice.
    I guess one of the ex-SriLankan A321 with this airline.



    I never heard of Nordwind Airlines before. What's the reason they are changing the logo and livery. Any expansion plans? Is it one of the big airline in Russia?
    They are a growing airline based at Moscow SVO. They are much smaller compared to Aeroflot, S7, Rossiya.



    Airbus A321 delivered to Nordwind Airlines - Russian aviation news
    http://www.rusaviainsider.com/airbus-a321-delivered-nordwind-airlines/
    The airliner has not yet been painted in the carrier's colors

    In early April, the carrier announced plans to take delivery of five A321s and five Boeing 737-800s before the end of the year. One of the Boeings has already arrived, and sports the airline’s new livery. On the widebody side, plans for 2017 call for deliveries of three A330-200s and three Boeing 777-200ERs.

    I am wondering why do they have so many aircraft leasing for short period? I have seen few B747s, B772s were operating for BG for such a short period. Is it really need for their business. Or is it something the management filling their pockets by doing aircraft leasing.
    A man named Kyle Haywood. Worked with BA, G9, EY before. The short term leases are mainly for covering the shortage of aircraft during the Hajj season and fill the gap till the main orders like the 77W, 738 and 788 come. Of course Biman has a good history of corruption but they have been making profits in the last two years (2015, 16) after years of losses.

    There were some talks regarding 2 787s being delivered in 2018. The B738s will most likely be replacing the Q400s as BG has already replaced the Q400 on three domestic routes (CGP, ZYL, CXB). BG does not usually disclose their future plans on media, the 787s will mostly likely be seen in LHR, KUL, DXB and in MAN, FCO, FRA, etc. if they resume flights on these routes.

    Thanks for that.

    I just found the link it says they will receive 2 more B738 and 4x B788 by 2019

    If I am not mistaken 4 x B788 are replacing 2 x A310 (already in storage) and 15 year old 2 x B772s in the BG fleet. 2 x B738s may be replacing those 2 Q400s which were initially leased for 5 year period.

    They had a plan of getting A330s to replace A310s but they changed the plan and going to get B788. Don't you think its good for them to have all Boeing fleet.

    What are future destinations planned during the arrival of B788 in 2019?
