The order placed in August 1996 by an undisclosed customer for ten Airbus A310-300s has been removed from the consortium's order backlog. The customer is believed to be Brazilian carrier VASP (Flight International, 2-8 October, 1996), and the deal is understood to be awaiting final ratification. If completed, the order will be the largest placed for the aircraft in the past four years.
