Well it's close to the wrapping up point at Farnborough, but there's still a few low hanging fruit to get. Lets see who's buying what...
Air Austral opts for 777-200LR's
Air Austral wants to run fully loaded planes from Reunion to Paris on a very short, and is ordering 2 777-200LR's to help.
Air Austral runs three 777-200ERs and two 777-300ERs, and also has the A380 in the mad 800+ configuration on order.
SuperJet Interests grow: Orient Thai Airlines signs tentative order for 12 Superjets
It seems Orient Thai Airlines are very interested in the Superjets, putting in an order for for 12 and options for an another 12, and if anything is one of the more intresting bits of news of Farnborough this year. GhettoIFE.com will be looking at the superjet in a few weeks and ask the question... WTF?
More Pam Ann Happiness - ANA and Hainan to get... Winglets!
ANA and Haian are in the mood to try and save some fuel, and equip their new aircraft with blended winglets.
Hainan Airlines will install blended winglets on 45 737-800s, with All Nippon Airways purchasing them for their 5 new 767-300ERs
TRIP leases more aircraft, more E-Jet's to head to Brasil (or is it from Brasil?)
Brazilian regional carrier TRIP has agreed to lease three Embraer E-175s from GECAS, and is also on the warpath to try and get hold of anohter two in 2011. This puts TRIP on a very nice expansion plan - not enough to take on Azul, but enough to be an annoyance....
Well, day five over, and most of the deals are done. Now the public can invade the field...
Comming tommorow - stats and numbers...

Farnborough Day 4
Well maybe I was lieing. There are some orders about today, so lets see what the manufacturers and others are doing today:
Virgin America signs for up to 60 Airbus A320s - with sharklets.
Virgin America is on a push for expansion, and has opted for more A320's - 40 firm and 20 options
If the Memo turns into an order, they would start arriving in 2013.
Pam Ann would just love the sharklets I suspect...
Azerbaijan dumps 737 order and switches to 767s
Azerbaijan Airlines dumped an order for 2 Boeing 737, and instead taking one 767-300ER and two 767F's in a Freighter configuration to develop it's cargo wing.
Well, you've got to shift stuff around somehow - a 767 is a good platform - if it could actually hold ULD's...
Boeing 787 escapes evacuation trials
One of the key verification stages of a aircraft is for an emergency exit drill so that people can escape a plane in a set time.
Boeing will not be required to run a cabin evacuation trial due to the similarity of it compared to the 767 trials which have the similar amount of people.
Of course, all the escape systems need to work, and thus demonstrated.
In Russia - Gas Jet flys you! - Gazprom signs letter of intent for SuperJets
Gazprom has signed on for 10 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. This is to replace the exisiting Yakovlev Yak-42 tri-jets
Deliveries are scheduled to take place in 2013-15, to be used as the in-house airline "Gazpromavia", and subject to financing - more could be ordered.
Still in Russia, Aeroflot confirms A330-300 order - beware Wrath of Putin...
Aeroflot confirmed an order it has made for 11 Airbus A330-300s, having recently disclosed it to the public.
As is typlical for an A330, the aircraft will be in a two-class layout with 300 seats with a target delivery for 2011-13.
However, all is not well at Aeroflot, as a certain Mr Putin has been putting pressure on Aeroflot to "buy Russian". The fact that Russia no longer makes a widebody jet is of course, besides the point...
As the show winds down, orders will now dry out, but I'm sure there's room for a couple more suprises along the way....

Farnborough 2010 - Day 1 - The orders start flowing...
It's day 1 of Farnborough 2010 air show, and the orders are off and running. So lets get down with the civil aviation big news...
GE goes on a spending spree and buys 100 Aircraft
(And I thought the Emirates story would be top today - I was wrong by a long shot).
GE Commercial Aviation Services has been shopping today, signing up for for 60 Airbus A320s and 40 Boeing 737-800s. Which are a lot of aircraft it has to be said.
Dates for delivery have not been given, although it's expect they will appear in due time. And it seems Airbus has done slightly better out of the deals than Boeing, both have come off very well from it.
GECAS has one of the biggest fleets around, with over 1,800 aircraft owned and managed aircraft. Which means these 100 are a drop in the ocean...
Emirates expand their fleet further - more 777-300ER's on the books
Emirates are on their war path to fleet expansion with an order for another 30 777-300ER aircraft to be delivered in a Three-Class configuration.
This will take Emirates fleet into big numbers, with a projected total of 71 777-300ER Class aircraft, with a total of 116 777 frames (all subtypes)
It's a lot of aircraft...
The return of Steven Udvar-Hazy - 51 A32x's please
IFLC's ex Boss Steven Udvar-Hazy has returned with a new company - simply called the "Air Lease Corporation". And with this company, he's off a-ordering 51 Airbus A320 family aircraft.
The order make up of the order is which covers 31 A320s and 20 A321s, so a not inconsiderable order.
It's good to see him back after he left ILFC when AIG had it's troubles - least of all this is the person who can force Airbus to head to back the drawing board or tell Boeing to design an aircraft.
Kartika firms up order for 30 Sukhoi Superjets
An Indonesian company - Kartika Airlines has firmed up an agreement to by 30 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, with a firm order signed today, adding more of the 75 seat Russian Regional Jets out there.
This is another positive move for the SuperJet programme - which is now up to 131 frames awaiting construction and built.
Kartika Airlines could be on the warpath and one to watch with ambitions of of a 160 strong fleet....
Norwegian order 15 737-800's - and looks to the 787.
Norwegian - a Scandinavian budget carrier has ordered 15 more Boeing 737-800s for short haul services, and is closing in on a decision of long-haul services that could spell more fun for Boeing, with possible orders for 787's in the autumn (vs the A350XWB).
Norwegian is in the market for up to 15 widebodies for a long-haul operation it wants to launch during 2011, operating to New York and Bangkok in the first phase.
This will be an interesting play as at the momentum, there is a very limited SAS service. If Norwegian goes in guns a blazing, it spell real trouble for SAS.
Azul orders 5 more Embraer E-195's.
Azul has signed a deal for a five more E-195's increasing it's commitment to 41 aircraft. This in addition to the order made last year for 5 E-190s and 31 E-195s, whilst retaining options for and purchase rights, extending it's partnership with Embraer.
Aircraft are due to be delivered by end of the year, taking it to a total of 26 aircraft - all Embraer E-Series, in a 118 seats.
As we all know, the E-Series is a lovely jet to sit in, and lets face it, it's better than Bombardier's CRJ's...
Yeminia selects an engine for it's A320's - IAE's V2500 Select Ones going in
Why should you care? Engines make planes go forward, and consume fuel.
And who pays for the fuel? Look in the mirror....
China Southern and Malaysia Airlines opt for winglets on 737 - Pan Am gets happy
China Southern Airlines has committed to the winglets for 55 737s to be delivered between 2011 and 2015, whilst Malaysia Airlines is also fitting the winglets to 35 737-800s that it is taking from the US airframer.
This means another 90 wingletted Boeing 737's will be taking to the skies which when wigletted can have improved take off performance - and consume less fuel.
And of course, we all know who pays for that fuel...
That's it from Day 1 and what a busy day it's been. No doubt, there will be more fun tomorrow...
