I read somewhere that the only real question regarding AF1 is whether to replace it with a Dreamliner or a 747-8i. The article alleged that Boeing would prefer to supply a Dreamliner in order to boost the prestige of their latest model.
To even pretend that Airbus will receive any consideration is laughable.
