  Chris Williams, Director of Fleet Operations and Plannning announced some VERY interesting news for the future of the EuroDirect fleet when speaking during the rollout of the 747-200 at Shannon: "Following lengthy discussions with Boeing, EuroDirect CEO Paolo Patat has signed a deal which will see the arrival of the 747-400 to the EuroDirect fleet.   Mr. Patat has confirmed that 15 747-400s wil be initially required and has placed option on another 25.  These aircraft will gradually replace the ageing 22-strong 747-200 fleet with first deliveries expected in August."
  
  "Mr Patat has also confirmed that an order has also been placed for 15 767-300ER with a further undisclosed number of convertible options to be confirmed at a later date. Discussions have also included the 757-300 in which EuroDirect are 'highly interested' at the present. These aircrafts are not direct replacements for any aircrafts on the existing fleet."
  
  "I am also able to confirm that EuroDirect are expecting deliveries to commence in June of aircrafts with which we will significantly expand our Regional operations. Both the Dash 8 Q-400 and CRJ 200 are expected, with the CRJ 700 following when this aircraft becomes available."
