불경기탓? 올해 새비행기 작년보다적어
우리나라 항공사들이 새로 들여오는 비행기가 다소 줄어들 전망이다.총 7개 국적항공사는 올해 모두 26대의 새 항공기를 도입 할 계획이다.대한항공과 아시아나항공이 각각 8대로 가장 많다. 제주항공, 진에어, 에어부산, 이스타항공, 티웨이항공 등 저비용 항공사(LCC)들은 나란히 2대 씩 들여올 방침이다.이는 지난해보다 10대 적다.작년에는 대한항공 14대, 아시아나항공 11대, 제주항공 4대, 진에어·에어부산 ·이스타항공 2대, 티웨이항공 1대 등 모두 36대를 새로 인도받았다.LCC의 경우에는 작년이나 올해나 별 차이가 없다. 다만 메이저 항공사들의 신규 도입 대수가 크게 줄어든다.하지만 속내를 들여다보면 꼭 올해 항공기 투자가 줄어들 것이라고 단정하기는 어렵다.대한항공에 따르면 지난해 들여온 14대 중 절반 이상인 8대가 B737 등 소형기였 지만 올해에는 중대형기 위주로 도입한다. '하늘을 나는 호텔'로 불리는 A380 2대, B777 2대, A330 1대 등을 도입할 예정
