Silkroad Airlines ordered B777-200LR

Silkroad Airlines today ordered its second B777-200LR from Boeing Company. Also, the airlines is planning to purchase more aircraft from brokers or other airlines.

Why did u order the 77L? Isn't the A345 better?

[LeipeLimbo]

actually it is , but he'd have A wait longer before he got them ..B he can get these together with 2 A333's . Flown to a high demand city a 77LR will still make decent profits

i would insist a B777 than A340:

1) More Passenger Seats
2) Same Distance (approximately)
3) Speed is only 1 knots slower (not too good, but exchange for passenger seats is good)
4) Fuel efficency
5) More $$$ (not too good, but worth it)

i ordered B777-200LR because of the queue of Airbus......
I had twenty something A340-500 for Singapore last round...i think A345 is for Singapore only..

First non-stop flight to Riyadh

Silkroad Airlines today launched its first non-stop flight to Riyadh, with a new A330-300 aircraft purchased from Silk Stocking Airways (not my subsidary!).

Also, the airline has introduced its slogan "The home of Asia" to the public. Please see the think below.

It depends on your base i think, for mine SIN i can't fly to many places in USA using a 77L so I use the A345. But HKG is nearer to many places in USA so they can use 77L.

[hkpacificair]

and HKG is a better airport :eureka:

[fatcow]

yes....in terms of location and demand.
i'm talking about AE only...>.<

Plan of aircraft purchasing

Silkroad Airlines today released its plan of purchasing around 15 medium-sized (A320 or B737 series) aircraft in Jun - Dec, Year4, which would enhance the capacity and flexibility of regional flights to boost the Hong Kong Hub.. Selection of aircraft will be decided and released soon.

Silkroad Airlines ordered A330s and B777s

Silkroad Airlines today has ordered 7 A330-300 and 4 B777-200LR aircraft from Airbus and Boeing respectively, involving about $1.8B of cash in total. These are the largest order in terms of money the airline has ever signed. This is to protect against the devastating attack by a airline monopoly in Hong Kong, HK Pacific Airways, as Silkroad Airlines is believed to be the smallest and poorest airline in Asia.
