Airbus redder US/HP-deal ???

[LN-MOW]

... eller har FT-reporteren tatt en sup av badevannet sitt..?????

For Airbus, which could provide debt or other financing when the deal is closed, it makes sense to help create a strong carrier. The combined entity could emerge as the largest operator of Airbus aircraft, after Northwest, with a fleet of about 220 Airbus airplanes.

Moreover, it will make the first credible order for the A350, as the new company is poised to order 20 of the new mid-sized aircraft. That would salve Airbus’s wounds from its failure to secure orders from Northwest and Air Canada, which recently opted to buy rival Boeing’s 787 aircraft.
