So, who will be first with an open chequebook? I'm expecting Malaysia to announce a significant order, but who else should do so. I don't think any of the M/E carriers are expected to place orders (although one can never tell?).
Who else is expected to place orders in the next few days?

Quoting Kaitak (Thread starter): I don't think any of the M/E carriers are expected to place orders (although one can never tell?).
I seriously doubt there will be not a single Middle Eastern order. Don't many still have to specify the engines on a bunch of their orders? Hey its Singapore Air Show, why not order a few A380s!

I know SV is expected to place an order at some stage, but I'm also guessing the manufacturers will want to hold back a few orders for Farnborough too!

According to Reuters, ILFC is in talks to buy over 100 airplanes from both Airbus and Boeing, its CEO said at Singapore Airshow on Tuesday.
"It is well over 100 from each side", Steven Udvar-Hazy told Reuters.

Quoting Astuteman (Reply 2): According to FI, Garuda "is poised to place a major Boeing order at this week's Singapore Air Show, covering Boeing 737-800's, 777-200ER's and 787's"
& KE placed order for (3) more A380-800s taking them to (8) firm now I believe.
Quoting MilesDependent (Reply 7): Is this just firming up previous orders? Haven't they ordered like 100 739s?
They have place (122) firm orders for the 737-900ER.

Boeing noted a week or so ago they had a large 737 and 777 order with a "Malaysian airline" so it is likely MH is that customer.
Also, MH evidently is still deciding on whether or not to cancel their A380 order per recent news reports, so that might be in play which could result in the A350 and/or 747-8I joining their future fleet.

Appears that we won´t see the MH order in Singapore:
Quote: [CEO]Jala said the A380 would fit well into its plan of expanding its hub-and-spoke network, as the aircraft was suitable for connected flights.
Meanwhile, Jala denied speculation that MAS would seal a deal with either Airbus or Boeing on its planned purchase of more than 50 narrow-bodied aircraft during the Singapore Airshow to be held from Feb 19 to 24.

Quoting Asiaflyer (Reply 10): GA today confirms conversion of 6 Boeing 777-200 into 10 77W at Singapore Airshow
Delivery from 2010 and onwards.
Strangly, no mention of the 787 order, is that one off the table?
Quoting Asiaflyer (Reply 13): Lion Air says to buy 56 Boeing 737-900ER planes.
This will take Lion Air's total orders to 178 for the 737-900ER.
I'm increasingly wondering what they are going to do with all these aircraft. Don't get me wrong, I wish them all the best. But I wonder if the market is there for all these aircraft. It's not that they don't have any competition in Indonesia (Adam Air, Garuda for example)
Quoting Asiaflyer (Reply 13): Btw, Don't we need an official Singapore Airshow thread?
Can anyone facilitate that?
That is usually PanamDC10's thing, but IMHO this thread will do just fine.
Quoting Flying-Tiger (Reply 14): Appears that we won´t see the MH order in Singapore:
From the article you provided:
Quote: We will not make any announcement (on aircraft purchase during the Singapore Airshow). We are still going through the final assessment,” he said.

Quoting Flying-Tiger (Reply 14): Appears that we won´t see the MH order in Singapore...
Yup. Looks like Garuda Indonesia was the source of the 777s and the 737-800s and Lion Air is the source of the 737-900ERs. So that should cover the 85 sales Boeing said they would announce.

Interestingly in the original piece on Airbus's website it said that they were holding a press conf tomorrow morning (20/2) but it doesn't say that any more. I wonder if they were hoping to announce the MH order and it's not been finalised?
Paramount Airways is in an advanced stages of negotiations with aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing for a $1 billion order of 15 wide-bodied aircraft. The deal is likely to be announced shortly.
