Aeroflot cancels 8 A350-800s
Aeroflot Airline has canceled an order for 8 Airbus A350-800s, Airbus revealed Jan 11. Airbus confirmed that the carrier has 14 A350-800s on order. The order change was made in Nov 2016. In 2007, Aeroflot ordered 22 A350s, comprising 8 -800s and 14 -900s. Because the number of -800 orders has been shrinking, Airbus dropped the model from its line-up. In May 2016, Airbus Commercial Aircraft president and Airbus COO Fabrice Brégier told Russia’s Kommersant newspaper that Aeroflot and the manufacturer were considering converting the -800 order into another type, likely the A330neo. In Nov 2016, Aeroflot canceled an order for 22 Boeing 787s, transferring purchase rights to Avia Capital Service, a leasing subsidiary of Russian govt-owned industrial conglomerate Rostec. <br/>
