波音超尷尬了, Cargolux拒收2架747-8F 這下大條了. 據推測, 有可能與先前廣告的Payload-Range 差異太大而被拒收. 連帶這也可能會影響到747-8i 客機潛在買家的信心. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110918-703614.html SEPTEMBER 18, 2011, 3:08 P.M. ET. Cargolux Rejects New Boeing Planes, May Seek Alternatives By Doug Cameron Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Cargolux Airlines International SA confirmed that it had "rejected" the first two 747-8F cargo planes ordered from Boeing Co. (BA) following a contract dispute that could see it look for alternative aircraft if the spat can't be resolved. The Luxembourg-based air freight company Friday called off a ceremony scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday to mark the delivery of the revamped jumbo freighter after a two-year delay caused by production and design problems. The move was an embarrassment for Boeing, which planned to deliver the first 747-8F and the delayed 787 Dreamliner to their first customers this month. There is no indication the 787 will be affected by the Cargolux move. Boeing has already paid out millions in compensation to customers of both planes because of the delays. Qatar Airways acquired a 35% stake in Cargolux during the summer, and the Gulf-based carrier has developed a reputation as a tough negotiator with aircraft manufacturers. Cargolux said in a statement Saturday that "unresolved contractual issues" prompted the airline to reject the first two of the 13 747-8Fs on order. New aircraft types often struggle to meet the performance criteria provided by manufacturers, with glitches and extra weight often removed from later planes. Boeing said Friday that it continued talks with Cargolux and looked forward to delivering the two affected planes. But Cargolux said it might look to "source alternative capacity" if the dispute continued into the upcoming peak shipping season. It has put the financing for the two planes--arranged by J.P. Morgan with a guarantee from the U.S. Export-Import Bank, on hold. Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWW) and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (0293.HK, CPCAY) are also due to take delivery of the 747-8F this year, with Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE, DLAKY), the launch customer for the passenger version, set to take delivery next year. -By Doug Cameron, Dow Jones Newswires; 312-750-4135 -- 航空/鐵道/都市資料找不到?
