Flight Blogger has an extensive interview with ILFC chairman and aviation icon Steven Udvar-Hazy from the Singapore Air Show.

Interesting points:
  • He's pushing Boeing to build a midrange 787 variant, a replacement for the 767-300ER.[/*:m:72a22]
  • He questions the usefulness of the 787-300 for anyone outside of Japan[/*:m:72a22]
  • He feels Boeing has stalled development of the 787-1000 because they are frantically trying to get the -8 and -9 versions, and the 748i out the door[/*:m:72a22]
  • He thinks the 737/A320 replacements should be twin-aisle aircraft with a fuselage slightly narrower than the 767...ILFC have dubbed them 797 and A360[/*:m:72a22]
