Beside 787-8/9 experiences back orders anyway. Unless Boeing can do some catch-up, 787-10 is mostly a talk.
yup that's my point only 21 77W, they have 29 now
21 to replace 18 747, keeping in mind that 747 has a much greater capacity , this order only makes sense if cathay wants to reduce its size and market share and not grow uptill 2015.
By the time the a350 come they will just be to replace a340 and old a330, so there will not be much fleet growth post 2015 either!!
