Re: 787 ANNULATIONS
Beaucoup de "considering", j'ai l'impression que des qu'une compagnie va annonçer ses annulations, les autres vont suivre. Les A330 et 772LR ont du succès.

Qatar Airways y songe aussi
Qatar Airways may cancel Dreamliner orders
Qatar Airways could cancel its order book for the troubled Boeing 787 Dreamliner if there are further delays to its delivery, as the board of the Arab Gulf state's flag carrier considers buying more Airbus A380s.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said Saturday that although he had confidence in the U.S.'s Boeing to deliver its much anticipated Dreamliner 787 model without further major problems, any more big setbacks could lead the airline to scrap its order book for the aircraft.
"We are pretty confident if there is a slippage it will be minimal," said Al Baker at the opening of the Doha International Airport's new arrivals terminal.
"Qatar Airways is not intending to cancel any aeroplane orders at the moment but if delays keep on happening then what is the point of me taking aeroplanes." he added.
Qatar Airways has 30 787 Dreamliners on order and options for another 30. The airline, which has added 10 new routes in the last year, has five Airbus A380s on order, "and the board is contemplating ordering more", Al Baker said, adding that the first delivery of the A380 would be in 2013.
The 787 Dreamliner has been beset by delays, design glitches and supplier problems, and is already three years behind plan. Chicago-based Boeing has had to revise the delivery schedule of its Dreamliner after a fire on a test flight last month.
Last month Al Baker accused the Dreamliner program of failure and said his company could be one of the first customers for Airbus' revamped A320

Re: 787 ANNULATIONS
Les gains en couts d'exploitation du B787 seraient devenus "peanuts" par rapport aux annonces de ceux du Dreamliner ... donc les autres bireacteurs ont encore une longue vie semble t il
... peut etre pour le A330-300 avec une nlle motorisation pour gagner les quelques Nm qui manquent pour du non-stop Asie du Sud Est / Europe qui est limite (voir la demande AirAsiaX)
