737 Max 8 v A321 XLR

V Tempsky made this Official Information request to Ministry of Defence

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for V Tempsky to read a recent response and update the status.

From: V Tempsky

Dear Ministry of Defence,

What synergies were identified in the potential acquisition of 737 Max 8 with existing RNZAF assets, compared to A321XLR?

How did Defence apply the key investment consideration (as stated in the DCP) of "What is the Australian approach, and is there any reason for New Zealand to take a different approach?" in selecting the A321XLR compared to the 737 Max 8?

What were the 17 long-list options considered for the 757 replacement?

How did Defence assess the whole of life cost of the preferred A321XLR lease, versus 737 Max 8?

Yours faithfully,

V Tempsky
