So it’s really only 30 confirmed orders for A330-900s with a massive amount of spin taking that up to the “150” headline figure. The article talks about 52 options but it isn’t exactly clear that those are all new.

Oh, also reported by Bloomberg a few hours ago. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business...isappointment/
