We know the aircraft market in Asia/Pacific, like that around the world, is dominated by Airbus and Boeing. However, with the rise of up-and-coming manufacturers like Bombardier and Embraer, do you think there's a market to accomodate a third or fourth major player?
Already, Mandarin Airlines has already leased 8 Embraear 190s and 195s from GECAS. With an eye for clinching a share of the booming aviation market in A/P, Embrear recently set up a regional office in Singapore. How successful will it be in this region?
I can't imagine Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific buying any E-Series aircraft anytime soon. But how about smaller, domestic operators? AirAsia has just ordered the Airbus 320, so that is out. How about the 50+ carriers in Indonesia?
