US Airways Apparently Sticking with Airbus

Bloomberg reports tonight that it appears US Airways is going to stay with Airbus, and not make the switch to Boeing.

“US Airways Group Inc. plans to order at least 90 Airbus SAS aircraft valued at more than $10.7 billion to replace planes and add long-range jets, a person with direct knowledge of the sale said.

   

US Airways will purchase about 60 single-aisle Airbus A320 aircraft, eight wide-body A330s and 22 long-range A350 XWB jets, said the person, who asked not to be identified before today’s announcement at the Paris air show. US Airways, the seventh-largest U.S. carrier, chose the Airbus planes over Boeing Co.’s 737 and 787 Dreamliner models after months of negotiations.”
