Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A board dispute and a December 23 court action have delayed finalisation of lease agreements for ten incremental Boeing 787 widebodies, a material change to Thai Airways’ near-term fleet plan.

  • The development comes as other regional carriers advance 787 programmes — see EVA Air's board approval to buy four 787-9s and Gulf Air's deal for at least 12 787s, which provide context on regional demand and OEM/lessor activity.
