Bonsoir !
Des rumeurs peu favorables aux A320 !
L'impression que UA/Continental mènent une négotiation "A la AA", c'est à dire un mix de MC d'ancienne génération avec certainement un volet déjà présent, où peut être à suivre pour les re-motorisés !
d'aprés Bloomberg, Airbus s'est retiré ou a été écarté ... pour 200 avions ...
L'impression perso qu'il s'agit de l'ancienne génération, et que ... Airbus ne doit plus avoir de slot's pour le timing 2015 ... et peut être pas trop envie de fournir du OLD aprés 2016 ...
A suivre, ce n'est pas simple !
UA/Continental, c'était un passage attendu et délicat pour Airbus, et aussi les A320 ... pour l'instant ce n'est pas sur la bonne voie !
Et peut être un 2nd round à espérer pour Airbus, pour les A320 NEO et/ou les B737 MAX ??
Une seule source pour l'instant !

United Said to Discuss Buying 200 Boeing Jets as Airbus Dropped

April 23 (Bloomberg) -- United Continental Holdings Inc. is negotiating only with Boeing Co. for an order of about 200 narrow-body jets after dropping discussions with Airbus SAS, two people familiar with the matter said.
Some of the planes in that total may be options for future aircraft, said the people, who declined to be identified because details aren't complete. United had been in talks with both companies for at least six months about a mix of current- generation Boeing 737s or Airbus A320s plus variants with new, more fuel-efficient engines, the people said.
An order for 200 737s would have a list price of about $16.9 billion, based on the $84.4 million retail cost of the 737-800, which is less expensive than the so-called MAX model with upgraded engines. Airlines typically buy at a discount.
United, the world's largest airline, is upgrading its single-aisle fleet after purchases by its next-biggest U.S. rivals in the past nine months. Delta Air Lines Inc. bought 100 Boeing 737-900ERs in August, and AMR Corp.'s American Airlines split a 460-jet order between Boeing and Airbus in July.
Spokesmen for United, Airbus and Chicago-based Boeing all declined to comment about the status of the latest negotiations.
Boeing aircraft account for more than three-fourths of the main fleet of 701 jets at United Continental, which was formed in 2010 in an all-stock merger between UAL Corp. and Continental Airlines Inc.
Continental had an exclusive relationship with Boeing dating back two decades. The new United is run by Jeff Smisek, who joined Continental in 1995 and was chief executive officer during the merger talks. United's fleet management group is overseen by Gerry Laderman, senior vice president of finance and treasurer, who joined Continental in 1988.
