'Qantas Airways Nears New Boeing 787 Widebody Order' - Reuters News
Boeing (BA.N) is close to securing an order for more of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft from Australia's Qantas Airways (QAN.AX), industry sources said.
業內消息人士稱，波音公司(Boeing)即將從澳大利亞航空公司(Qantas Airways)獲得更多787夢幻客機(787 Dreamliner)的訂單。
The order for an unspecified number of 787-10s deepens the presence of the high-tech Dreamliner family at Australia's flag carrier and could be announced as early as this month, the sources said.
消息人士稱，訂購數量不詳的787-10飛機加深了高科技夢幻客機家族在澳大利亞旗艦航空公司的存在，最早可能在本月宣佈。
The sources cautioned that such negotiations typically go down to the wire and no decision is final until it has won airline board approval.
消息人士警告說，這樣的談判通常會走到最後，在獲得航空公司董事會的批准之前，任何決定都不是最終決定。
The deal would be Qantas's first order of the 787-10 model, a stretched version of the 787-9 with shorter range that is designed to compete against the Airbus A330.
這筆交易將是澳航第一次訂購787-10機型，787-9是787-9的加長版，航程更短，旨在與空巴A330競爭。
Incoming Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson said in June the carrier would kickstart a competition to replace existing A330 jets by end-year.
澳航即將上任的首席執行官瓦妮莎·哈德森(Vanessa Hudson)在6月份表示，該公司將在年底前啟動一場更換現有A330噴射機的競爭。
Qantas, Boeing and Airbus declined to comment.
澳航、波音和空巴均拒絕置評。
Qantas, whose original decision to opt for a smaller type of Boeing 787 in 2005 led to a review of Airbus's wide-body strategy, is considered to be among the most influential aircraft buyers.
澳航被認為是最有影響力的飛機買家之一。2005年，澳航最初決定選擇較小型號的波音787，導致空巴重新審視寬體戰略。
In 2022, the Australian carrier announced a landmark order for a dozen A350-1000s – the largest European widebody jet capable of nonstop flights from Sydney to London and New York — as part of its "Project Sunrise" ultra-long haul initiative.
2022年，這家澳大利亞航空公司宣佈了一份里程碑式的訂單，訂購了12架A350-1000s--這是歐洲最大的寬體噴射機，能夠從雪梨直飛倫敦和紐約--這是其“日出計劃”超長途計劃的一部分。
Sources said the upcoming Dreamliner deal swings orders back in Boeing's favor with the largest variant of 787. Qantas last placed a Dreamliner order in 2018, when it signed a deal for six jetliners meant to replace its remaining Boeing 747s. It currently operates 14 787-9s.
消息人士稱，即將到來的夢幻客機交易使訂單重新向波音傾斜，波音787是波音最大的變種。澳航上一次訂購夢幻客機是在2018年，當時該公司簽署了一項協定，購買6架噴氣式客機，以取代其剩餘的波音747。它目前運營著14架787-9飛機。
