There was a photo in today's (August 22, 2006) Business Recorder showing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between AirBlue and Inter Ekspres Airlines of Turkey on the lease of Airbus A321-231. Signing the MoU were Syed Nasir Ali, Director Commercial of AirBlue, and Pelin Turan, Director International Affairs of Inter Ekspres Airlines.

ED insiders,

Is this a wet-lease or a longer term dry lease?

What about Delivery and reg. no of ac?

Hold your horses, the MOU has only just been signed.

Very positive move by ED. Shows they are looking at growth instead of stagnancy, unlike Shaheen and Aero Asia.

You said it Moin! It good to see airblue to think about its future growth instead of take a laid back attitude like the others. We need more airlines like airblue?

does anyone know if theire 330s are gona have a personal EFI system for each passanger???

[Moin]

I might be contradicting what I wrote earlier, but what A330's? There was alot of talk about them, even discussions with Airbus about 2 A330-200's and 8 A320's but nothing apparently materialised. The there was talk about leasing AB6's then that dissapeared as well.

^ Could that be that availablity of the A330 might be an issue?
