That’s what the Belfast Telegraph reports, http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=660670 saying the Irish airline is looking to buy as many as 14 787s or competing Airbus models — presumably A350s.
Key Quote: “The airline wants to replace its entire fleet of seven Airbus A330s and buy between 11 and 14 aircraft. … An Aer Lingus spokesman said: ‘No decision has been made on the aircraft type, but it’s important to get on the waiting list. We need to get a decision relatively quickly.”
Boeing took its 787 “road show” to Ireland this week — a multi-media promotional presentation that now includes newly released digital depections of the new jet’s flight deck. Irish television network UTV reported on that http://u.tv/newsroom/indepth.asp?id=64773&pt=n
Key Quote: “Putting the plans on display in Dublin today, the airline manufacturer said the planes would enable Irish passengers to fly directly from Dublin Airport to destinations such as Buenos Aires and Tokyo, without having to stop over in Heathrow.”
