LOT eyes up Airbus' A350
The airline has to make up its mind as to the investment in new machines by the end of this month. PLL LOT president Marek Grabarek revealed that the favorites are the Airbus A350 and the Boeing B787 Dreamliner. The supervisory board must accept the final choice.
The A350 is a project that Airbus has been trying to sell since December 2004. It is meant to be a response to Boeing's 787. The newest technologies will be applied in constructing the plane, including those used in the A380, the biggest passenger plane in the world. The Boeing 787 has similar parameters to the Airbus, but the American producer says its plane will use 20 percent less fuel.
If the Polish airline decides to buy the Airbus A350 it will be the first order placed for this plane. The contract's value varies from $1-5 (zł.3.4-17) billion, depending on the number of planes ordered. If PLL LOT chooses Boeing, they will also be one of the first in the queue.
