    Lets hope 100 CS300get ordered. 160 Seats seems a lot but 150 seats should be doable.

    Wonder what the idea is behind 160 seats, 27 inch pitch, no galleys?

    In 2008 I stuffed the then named C-130 with stacked 6 abreast. Don’t know if its feasible though..

    CS300s for AirAsia is a new kind of announcement : in addition to LoI and MoU, we now have LtS (Letters to Santa Claus) :D
    On the other hand, Air Asia is still interested in buying more A320s.
