Lufthansa Plans to Purchase Boeing 747 Jetliners, People Say

By Susanna Ray and James Gunsalus

Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe's second-biggest airline, plans to buy about 20 Boeing Co. 747-8 planes worth $5 billion at list prices, a setback to Airbus SAS, people familiar with the order said.

Lufthansa would be the first airline customer to purchase the passenger version of Boeing's newest 747. The carrier may announce the order tomorrow, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions haven't been made public.

No surprise. American-based carriers HAVE to buy Airbus planes and European-based carriers HAVE to buy Boeing planes in order to have landing rights on the other continent. Asian-based carriers have to split their purchases too.
 
Hadn't seen it that way. Interesting analogy.

I was pointing out how news which have not been made public are public the evening before they are supposed to become public.

because "the people" said so....

You got to love it....
