Airbus picks up an A350 order

Published 9:00 pm Wednesday, August 17, 2005

Jet leasing company CIT is ordering five of them, as part of a much larger deal for A320s, Bloomberg News reports.

Key Quote, from BofA analyst Nick Fothergill: “‘The A350’s got a reasonable amount of orders now. This gives yet more credibility to the fact that the A350 is likely to be launched as a competitor to the 787,’ said Fothergill, who has a ‘neutral’ rating on EADS shares.”
