Yikes! One manufacturer to replace their entire narrowbody and widebody fleet. Looks like Airbus will be the favourite here. A320s for the narrowbody fleet, and probably a mix of A350 -800, -900 and -1000 aircraft for their widebody fleet.
Just curious though, I know there's some issue with 77Ws operating out of JNB. Something to do with the airport's altitude. Could anyone provide a bit more 'scientific' explanation for this ? ... and also if the 787 and A350 would suffer the same problem since they are also long-range twins?
