Yeah they already are 25 years old... not much value left but for scrap... PTF converters usually aim for planes in their early 20's, would be tough sale with this short notice。

Most airlines got rid of theirs years ago... they are getting rid of even newer 777-200 ERs and LRs now... It would be bargain or tough sale for Thai Airways...

The dream is dead, but we can dream on with the second airframe... But I have my doubts, years ago the Chinese wanted them to complete it, but the project still sat silent... It's going to be expensive, and who is going to foot the bill?

I wonder why not just call them COMAC, do we have to emphasize they are from China? I don't think we emphasize Boeing is from US or Airbus is from EU just as much...

I felt civilian aviation should have some exemption in sanctions. If I had to send in my broken Apple MacBook's main board to get a replacement, I don't see why Airbus or Boeing can't force Russian airlines to do the same to get spare parts.

Flying really is not the same after 2020 Pandemic... Thinks like this use to be rare...

China always used plane purchase as a bargain chip. Once the Trade War started, Boeing is in trouble. I like 737 Max, but really it hasn't aged as well as A320 family.

Its sad to see Airbus is able to just say "No" to a problem Airbus perceived as trivial...
