Yeah! Iberia drops B777-300ER for A340-600!

Iberia announced it would drop B777-300ER and switch to A340-600 instead after extensive evaluation. This makes Iberia the 12th airline to select A340-500/-600, and the order of 9 from Iberia increases total order of A340-500/-600 to 81.

This makes the A340-600 the 1st Rolls-Royce powered aircraft of Iberia, which uses only GE / CFM engines for its aircrafts before.

Air France, you should learn things from Iberia, which also uses only GE / CFM engines before. You ordered B777-200LR/-300ER instead of A340-500/-600, even you are running many A340-200/-300, and Airbus' HQ is located in France, just because there is GE engine option for B777-200LR/300ER, but not on A340-500/-600. But you just ignored the fact that it is impractical to fly twin engined aircrafts for ultra long distance routes.
