In this case, you really need to read between the lines of this article. What SAA is really saying is this:
"We are in financial trouble and may have an extremely difficult time acquiring and maintaining a Boeing fleet of aircraft, which, by the way, are really far more superior than any Airbus product. However, because Airbus aircraft are dirt-cheap, we feel at this time that Airbus aircraft are a better buy for SAA and its shareholders."
We will have to wait and see.
