On a separate note, Aerosvit being semi-bankrupt, UIA is apprently taking over Aerosvit's planes and routes. On some forums there are comments that say that Aerosvit & UIA are working in tandem to deceive Aerosvit's creditors.

Don't hold your breath!

Our neta-babu leeches will try every trick in their book to extract maximum benefits from this deal. The Ukranians will have to face nighmarish bureaucracy of the kind that will make them yearn for the USSR's politburo instead, and eventually they will get their 777s from somewhere else.

Don't we all know it? Haven't we seen it before?

Astonishing news! Presumably this will be VT-ALA through -ALF? This leaves AI with a small sub-fleet of 3 777-200LRs (if this is indeed a sale). Might it not be worth their while to try and flog the remaining 3 too and get as many of the 27 787s as possible instead?

Good.

If this actually ends up happening, then the 787s, and the 77Ws and the 747s should be peddled next. And Air India sent to it's lone overdue (dis)Grace.

IC do a good job, so there's no need for them to be punished for the many faults of AI and their thieving employees.

In the context of the Sale and lease back of the 787s, the press article talked about AI not hawking it's 77Ls any more... I guess the press article today was wrong?

According to this article :

http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToPrint_MIRRORNEW&Type=text/html&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=MMIR/2013/01/18&ID=Ar01600

SALE OF FIVE 777 WORLDLINER AIRCRAFT PUTS AIR INDIA IN SPOT

" .... had it not finalised the sale of five Boeing 777-200 Long Range Worldliner aircraft to Ukraine International Airlines last week, that had made way for the now-troubled 787 fleet."

" .... But apart from the five B777-LR sold last week, AI has just three more B777-LR which it operates on the London sector. "

That being said, this is the Indian press, so please take with a grain of salt. And some tequila, if possible.
