Special Requests

A piece of SAA history : how a blown engine resulted in SAA switching to Airbus

In March 2002, SAA CEO Andre Viljoen announced that a $3.5 billion fleet renewal contract had been awarded to Airbus, including orders for 15 Airbus A320, 11 A329s, 9 Airbus A340-600s and 6 A340-300s. SAA had been longtime Boeing customers.

This followed test flights on Airbus and Boeing aircraft, in which practically the entire board took part. SAA decided that Airbus should fly first, and Airbus plied their guests with sales chat and champagne in a 4-engined A340 - their sales message was that "four engines are better than two", and emphasised that this was especially true in hot, high airports like Johannesburg where engines need to work harder.

Boeing countered that 4 engines were twice the trouble, and when the A340 landed, Boeing's Toby Bright transfer the SAA board onto his B777. As the 777 roared down JNB's runway, though, 1 of its 2 Rolls Royce Trent 800 engines seized up with a bang and take-off had to be aborted.

"We had to screech to a stop on the runway, taxi back and park beside the A340 and John Leahy was standing there. It was the worst experience of my sales life. As soon as I saw the engine had blown I knew we had lost." said Bright.

Airbus won the SAA contract but the Boeing 777 has gone on to outsell the Airbus 340 six to 1.
