De la difficulté des transitions de modèles MC Pour Airbus ...
Les lignes de FAL sont pleines entre A320 Classic, et NEO ??
Ben pas tant que ça, et d'abord il y a plusieurs modèles ... de plus, pas renouvelés en même temps !
Des slots et des Années "Volatiles" à partir de 2015 !
Bien , rien de nouveau ... et on s'y attendait un peu !

"The way to make sure there isn't a problem is to continue the sales process," Airbus sales chief John Leahy told Reuters.
"Last year we sold 244 (of the existing A320s), and I have set a sales target this year of selling 300."
Airbus plans to introduce the spruced-up A320neo from 2015, and Boeing is responding with its revamped 737 MAX, due in 2017.
By adopting the latest engines, both aircraft are meant to cut fuel costs by about 15 percent, leading to a flood of orders from airlines struggling with high fuel costs.
"There is a transition period that will run to 2018," Leahy said. "We are sold out in 2013 and '14, but we still have open slots in '15, '16 and '17, which I would like to sell as many of as possible this year."
Planemakers previously suggested they were heavily sold out until late in the decade for the most popular models.
Industry sources say that as the first delivery for the A320neo or 737 MAX approaches, it will be harder to sell existing models, even though some airlines are impatient to get rid of old fleets or unwilling to pay premiums for new models.
