May 1 (Reuters) - The head of the world's largest
airplane lessor dismissed the prospect that Brazil's Embraer ( ERJ )
would challenge the planemaking duopoly of Airbus and
Boeing ( BA ) any time soon, after the Wall Street Journal reported it
was exploring a new jet.
"I doubt we'll see anything in material numbers before the
end of the 2030s. It's just impossible to develop a new
aircraft, particularly if you need a new engine technology, you
would have to be well down the track already to have that
delivering this side of 2030. So that's not happening," AerCap ( AER )
Chief Executive Aengus Kelly told analysts.
