Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways restructures Airbus, Boeing jet orders | ZAWYA MENA Edition:
Etihad Airways said on Thursday it has agreed with Airbus and Boeing to restructure a "large portion" of its orders, in what appeared to be a major cut in long-haul jet orders.
The Abu Dhabi-owned airline said in a statement that it has committed to take delivery of five Airbus A350-1000s and 26 A321neos plus six Boeing 777-9s "over the coming years".
However, it has ordered more aircraft, mostly in 2013 when it went on a jet-buying spree, and said in the statement that the "balance of the remaining orders will be defined at a later time through rescheduling, restructuring or reduction."
