Gulf Air to buy up to 50 Airbus planes

PARIS: Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air is planning to buy up to 50 Airbus aircraft, the country’s Information Minister Isa Abdulrahman Al-Hammadi said.
The minister said the massive new contract was discussed between Bahrain’s King Hamad and French President Francois Hollande during a meeting in Paris.
“Gulf Air met today with Airbus and discussed the airline’s future narrow- and wide-body fleet requirements — up to 50 aircraft,” the minister said.
“Discussion will be finalized by the end of the year and an announcement will be made during the Bahrain International Air show,” which takes place in January 2016.
The two leaders discussed several “mega-projects” the minister added, as the state plans to build a new airport terminal and a second causeway linking it to Saudi Arabia.
Also on the agenda were the crises in Syria and Yemen, including efforts to combat the financing of the Daesh group.

Paris: Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air is planning to buy up to 50 Airbus aircraft, Information Minister Isa Al Hammadi said yesterday.
The massive new contract was discussed between the King and President Hollande, he said.
“Gulf Air met Airbus and discussed the airline’s future narrow- and wide-body fleet requirements – up to 50 aircraft,” Mr Al Hammadi said.
“Discussion will be finalised by the end of the year and an announcement will be made during the Bahrain International Airshow,” which takes place in January next year.
The two leaders discussed several “mega-projects”, Mr Al Hammadi said, as Bahrain plans to build a new airport terminal and a second causeway linking it to Saudi Arabia.
They also discussed ways of bolstering Bahrain-French partnership with the King welcoming President Hollande’s participation in the GCC Consultative Summit.
As part of Gulf Air’s plan to buy up to 50 aircraft from Airbus, Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed held discussions with Airbus officials yesterday.
The meeting was attended by Gulf Air acting chief executive officer Maher Salman Al Musallam, Airbus Group chief strategy and marketing officer Marwan Lahoud and Airbus Middle East managing director Fouad Attar.
Speaking on the development, Mr Ahmed said that the move reflected Gulf Air’s significance as the key national asset, connecting Bahrain globally and supporting the kingdom’s long-term aspirations for economic development and diversification.
“We have seen considerable positive progress achieved by Bahrain’s national carrier on both operational and financial level since the airline embarked on a comprehensive restructuring in 2013.
“Optimising Gulf Air’s fleet is an ongoing process and a critical component of its current and long-term strategic business direction,” the minister added.
Commenting on the discussions, Mr Lahoud noted that Airbus had been a long-term and committed partner of Gulf Air since 1992.
“We are delighted to have had Bahrain’s national carrier utilise the Airbus family for its developing fleet requirements and we also anticipate a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship going forward,” he said.
Gulf Air currently operates an all-Airbus fleet consisting of 28 combination wide narrow and wide body aircraft that serve the airline’s
network of 43 destinations.

Immagino che faranno incetta di A320 e 321 Neo che dovrebbero permettere loro di servire l'Europa a costi ancora inferiori rispetto ad oggi.

bah ci hanno provato pochi anni fa ad aprire un po' di rotte europee in più con i narrow vedi GVA, CPH, MXP, FCO etc chiuse tutte dopo pochi mesi.
Adesso risultato volano ovunque con i 320 in Europa nelle destinazioni superstiti (anche CDG e FRA precedentemente prerogativa dei 330) tranne Londra.

Se non hanno una massa critica minima di network e contestualmente frequenze la vedo ardua competere con i vicini ingombranti, purtroppo.
 
Ma non è perennemente sull'orlo del fallimento:dubbio:Chi ha pompato soldi:dubbio:
