All-Airbus Jazeera open to Boeing switch: CE
Jazeera Airways is not ruling out a complete switch of aircraft type to the Boeing 737 Max as part of its development plan. Jazeera exclusively operates Airbus A320-family jets and is holding discussions on future requirements, with a view to taking a decision next year. The carrier has had "conversations" with Airbus regarding long-range single-aisle variants, said CE Rohit Ramachandran. Jazeera will maintain a single-type fleet but he says the airline will not necessarily remain loyal to Airbus. "I'm interested in the best deal," he says, hinting that Boeing has been particularly competitive in its efforts to restore airline enthusiasm for the 737 Max following its extensive grounding. He says the airline – which will have 13 aircraft by the end of this year, and 16 next year – is looking to take its fleet to 23 by 2022. <br/>
