Boeing in air assault for orders
Boeing is in town to compete against Airbus in supplying an initial new fleet of 37 jetliners worth a combined US$14 billion to Thai Airways International (THAI). The US plane maker is pitching three types of aircraft - the 800 and 900 series of the B787 Dreamliner, the long-haul B777-300ER and the single-aisle B737-800.
Its main selling point is early availability for THAI's first block of its dual-phase fleet renewal programme.
"The advantage we have: our aircraft are available sooner," Randy Tinseth, the vice-president for marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in Bangkok yesterday. The company is offering to make available......

THAI to lease eight Boeings
Thai Airways International has clinched a deal to lease eight brand-new large-capacity long-haul Boeing jets from BOC Aviation as part of its ongoing fleet renewal.

DAE could only spare four while AWAS has two for leasing to THAI, according to THAI insiders. Under the deal sealed recently, BOC will lease the aircraft for 12 years at......

THAI divides jet orders between Boeing, Airbus
Thai Airways International agreed yesterday agreed to split the orders for 15 new wide-body jets almost equally between Airbus and Boeing, in a decision that would balance the presence of both planemakers in the flag carrier's fleet. Europe's Airbus will supply seven medium-haul A330-330 aircraft, while its US rival will supply eight long-range B777-300ER series jets.
THAI executives said the decision to split the orders was made entirely on commercial and technical grounds without any political influence from Europe or the US, allegations that had shrouded past jet purchases.
President Piyasvasti Amranand said Airbus offered seven A330-300s, for 31 billion baht, "well below" what the airline had budgeted. However, the prices exclude engines, seats, inflight entertainment systems and spare engines. The A330-300, with a catalogue price of......

THAI talks new jets with Airbus, Boeing
Thai Airways International has begun talks with Airbus and Boeing to negotiate discounts and easier terms on orders for 15 high-capacity planes worth more than 35 billion baht. THAI president Piyasvasti Amranand had separate discussions with top executives at the two aviation companies last week at the annual meeting of the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) in Berlin. He declined to give details of the talks but indicated that the flag carrier's decision on aircraft acquisition would depend largely on the attractiveness of the financial packages offered by the two planemakers.
Preliminary discussions have already taken place between lower-level managers at THAI and Airbus and Boeing, but the Berlin meetings saw negotiations take a higher level. Talks will centre on the acquisition of eight long-haul and seven medium-range jetliners with prompt delivery being a critical requirement. The choices boil down to either......
