Scramble 468
ery of no less than 47 B787s: 22 B787-8s and 25 B787-9s.The
B787-8s will replace its B767s, while the B787-9s will replace
the A330s and some older B777s. Unfortunately for Airbus,
the A350 order, which American inherited from US Airways
for 22 A350s, has herewith been cancelled. Furthermore,
American will delay deliveries of forty B737 MAX8s to later
dates, but I do not think that Boeing is complaining.
United Airlines signed a deal for twenty second-hand A319s
for deliveries in 2020 and 2021. The aircraft are former
easyJet-planes.

As can be seen in the monthly Jetliners-section, easyJet is registering a lot of their aircraft in the Austrian register on behalf of easyJet Europe.
This new airline with its own AOC was established to protect easyJet’s European route rights after the Brexit. According to easyJet, with the new
easyJet Europe AOC, the airline will enable to continue its European route network regardless of the UK’s future relationship with the European
Union. Besides transferring UK registered aircraft also the ex Berlin-Tegel fleet of Airbus A320s it acquired from Air Berlin will be registered in
the Austrian register. One of this ex Air Berlin aircraft in the easyJet Europe fleet is OE-IZQ, which is former D-ABNQ. The aircraft is painted in
a special “Berlin” colour scheme. (Berlin-Tegel, 12 April 2018, Stephan Ehrig)
