SAS is creating a single type fleet for the first time. The Scandinavian airline ordered 50 A320neo aircraft as it is phasing out old Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft, expecting the change to be completed by 2023.
SriLankan Airlines lost certification to operate its new A320neo and A321neo aircraft on ETOPS with 90 minutes diversion time, following an order from the CAA.
American Airlines announced the decision to buy 47 Boeing 787 Dreamliners for a total of $12 billion. It is the second U.S.-based company this year to prefer Boeing to Airbus.
