while i think this is a fantastic news, it is still in LoI/MoU stage so nothing is confirmed yet. GA has not bought anything. These orders are meant primarily to replace their widebody fleet in order to keep the average fleet age low. Some will also be used to expand. However, it is a well-known fact that GA will not be flying to the US as long as Indonesia is still in Category II based on FAA review.
