Analysis: AMR bankruptcy clouds Boeing jet order
November 29, 2011 -- Reuters
Stephen Selbst says American Airlines' $40 billion order for new jets might be imperiled by the airlines' filing for Chapter 11 protection. The bulk of the order went to Boeing, with Airbus getting a smaller slice. Stephen says that American may want to shrink its overall operation -- including the size of its fleet -- which could shrink the size of its order or at least cause the airline to re-trade the contract with Boeing. In the meantime, he says, American's fleet is among the least fuel-efficient in the industry. And he questions whether a bankruptcy judge will authorize a major purchase before the airline files a formal reorganization plan.
