And speaking of airlines that plan to order more planes, SpiceJet officials say they’ll convert 10 options for 737s to firm orders in 2006, The Hindu http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/12/28/stories/2005122802960900.htm reports from Bangalore. Some of them, it seems, will be -900ERs.

Key Quote: “The SpiceJet Chief Executive Officer, Mr Siddhanta Sharma, told Business Line that the orders are likely to be placed sometime in August next year. SpiceJet had ordered for 10 Boeing 737-800s and 10 others were on option. These options will now get converted to firm orders. ‘We have not yet decided how many of them will be B737-800s and B737-900ER,’ he said.”
