717 Chances??

[AA]

What are the chances of airlines buying 717s in the near future?

They already are. I'm a little confused!

Let me better explain, haha. Will they buy MORE?? Are there any on order, and if so which airlines?? That was my bad.

 

[derg]

Maybe?

There is plenty of excitement going on with the 717 right now, kind of funny, everytime to price of oil goes up, the more the phone rings for the 717.

Turkmenistan signed a deal for "2"
German Wings a LCC is going to try the 717 for a "2" month period of time & if they like it, are looking at a big order (Lufthansa is behind the deal)
Other airlines are looking at the 717.

I believe Airtran ordered 10 more when they announced the order for the Boeing 737 NGs. That order was announced last year.
