 |
|
India’s Flyington Freighters has said it will not go ahead with an order of freight planes from Boeing after it signed a previously announced order for six A330-200F cargo planes from arch-rival Airbus
"We were in preliminary talks with Boeing, but Airbus gave us a better deal,’’ T. Venkattram Reddy, chairman of Flyington Freighters, has said, says a UNI report.
"At this point in time, we are not going ahead with Boeing.’’ |

Good for airbus...... i think this is a turn around period for them. And our aviation sector will have a big role to play.

Is there any 330Fs in service with any of the cargo operators at present? I once heard CX did order 330F but nothing more.
Also how does 330Fs compare with 777Fs?

When are the A330s expected? I have started having doubts about this airline. First it places order for B777s, then for the A330s and now it cancels the B777 order.

Neither have flown yet but the 777 is larger capacity wise. |

My personal opinion is as said before ...... Flyington freighters will never operate B777 Freighters not too confident on them operating the A330 Freighters too.
Whats the history of this company.
