The likely sources of Airbusiums was/is Air Berlin, and Monarch.

Lufthansa bought all 72 Air Berlin buses three days ago for €210 million.

Monarch has 9 320s and 25 321s. Not sure if 321s makes it a more or less appealing deal.

As to 767 rumors: my sources say they were looked at (in person), but no word if they will be acquired.
