WEEKLY AVIATION HEADLINES

Continued on page 3

As did two years ago, the cloudy skies could not dampen the mood in Paris as the 51st edition of the Paris air show’s trade days drew to a close. Most of the major players left with billions worth of new business.

At a wrap up press conference Airbus announced $57 bil-lion worth of busi-ness for a total of 421 aircraft. The deals comprise firm orders for 124 aircraft worth $16.3 billion and commitments for 297 aircraft worth $40.7 billion. Not surpris-ingly, the A320 Family won an im-pressive 366 endorsements, 103 firm orders and 263 commitments worth U$41.4 billion.

In the widebody market, Airbus kicked-off the show with the an-

nouncement of the first operator for the new A330 Regional, with Saudi Arabian Airlines taking 20 on lease from IAFC. Airbus said the

A330 Regional will enable airlines to serve “fast-growing domestic and regional routes at least cost and maximum efficiency.”

John Leahy, Airbus’ Chief Operating Officer, Customers said: “Our latest forecast for 32,600 planes in the next 20 years is being proved cor-rect. The orders and commitments at this year’s Paris Air Show dem-onstrate three things; Asia is pow-

ering the growth, we are leading in single-aisle and widebody and our A321neo is the aircraft of choice in the middle of the market.”

Boeing also left the show with a reported U$40.8 billion in the bag. The highlight on day two was air-craft lessor Aer Cap’s commitment for 100 737 MAX-8s adding

to the A320 Neo’s that it ordered at Farnborough last year. Other notable orders from Boeing were for 20 747-8Fs from Volga-Dnepr, and six more 787s for Ethiopian Airlines. Korean Air also announced the airline’s intent to purchase 30 737 MAXs and two additional 777-300ERs with options for an addi-tional 20 737 MAX.

“Our latest forecast for 32,600 planes in the next 20 years is being proved correct.”John Leahy, Airbus’ Chief Operating Officer, Customers

Pratt & Whitney receives FAA production certification for PW1100G-JM engine

Pratt & Whitney received Federal Aviation Admin-istration approval to add the PW1100G-JM engine that will power the Airbus A320neo aircraft to its production portfolio. The certificates were award-ed to Pratt & Whitney’s facilities in Middletown, Connecticut and West Palm Beach, Florida. Both facilities have expanded and modernized to in-troduce state-of-the-art assembly and test capa-bility as the company prepares for its production increase. The PurePower® engine family has more than 6,400 orders, including options. The certifi-cation of the Middletown and West Palm Beach Engine Centers to produce these engines for the A320neo ensures that with volume increasing, Pratt & Whitney will be ready to meet customer commitments as its new engines are brought into service. As part of the process of certifying Pratt & Whitney to build the PW1100G-JM engines, the FAA conducted intense reviews of both facilities, capabilities, processes, tooling, quality assurance, test procedures and engine test results.

The company stated that the first of five test aircraft started low speed taxiing tests on June 8, 2015; the second has functional and engineering tests underway. The installation of the landing gear has been completed and the installing equipment is underway on the third aircraft, the wings are joined to the fuselage on the fourth and on the fifth plane the body joint and painting with ANA livery have been completed.

ATR announced 46 firm aircraft orders and 35 options. The total value of the orders received amounts to U$1.98 billion dollars. A contract signed with Japan Airlines opens up a new market for ATR and enables it to exceed 1,500 firm orders since the beginning of the programme.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has issued comments clarifying key el-ements of its Cabin OK initiative which have been misunderstood in some reporting. The IATA Cabin OK initiative for carry-on bags aims to provide passengers with a greater assur-ance that their carry-on bags will travel with them in the aircraft cabin, even when the flight is full. The Cabin OK size guideline, developed by working with airlines and manufacturers, is 55cm x 35cm x 20cm (or 21.5” x 13.5” x 7.5”). This size was calculated to make the best use of storage space in the cabin. If fully embraced by passengers, everyone would have a chance to travel with their carry-on bags on board

Recommended Eventsaircraft of 120 seats or larger even when the flight is full. A number of major international airlines have signaled their interest to join the initiative. They will soon be introducing opera-tional guidelines to give Cabin OK bags priority to stay on board the aircraft when all carry-on bags cannot be accommodated in the cabin.

At the International Paris Air Show, repre-sentatives from the Sichuan Provincial Gov-ernment and Deyang Municipal People’s Gov-ernment of China have revealed plans to host a new biennial international air show in the province. Launching in September 2017 (sub-ject to final date confirmation), The Sichuan In-ternational Air Show will run over five days to showcase international commerce in the fast-growing Sichuan region. The three-day trade event and two-day public event will provide a unique opportunity for aviation companies across the globe to gain access to the Chinese aviation supply chain. With a specific focus on civil and commercial aerospace, manufactur-ing, MRO and support services, the Sichuan International Air Show will showcase the CO-MAC, AVIC and other state representatives’ supply chains to demonstrate how companies can become involved in the growing Chinese market. Farnborough International Ltd, the or-ganizers of the Farnborough International Air Show, and the European Union Project Innova-tion Centre (EUPIC), will work together with the Sichuan and Deyang governments to bring the event together.

Airlines for America (A4A), the industry trade organization for the leading U.S. airlines, said today that no U.S. airlines are supporting the smaller carry-on bag initiative recently put forth by the International Air Transport As-sociation (IATA). “A4A and its members reject the recent carry-on size initiative put forth by

IATA because it is unnecessary and flies in the face of the actions the U.S. carriers are taking to invest in the customer experience — roughly US$1.2bn a month — including larger overhead bins,” said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio. “Our members already have guidelines in place on what size bags they can accom-modate, making this action unnecessary. We agree with IATA’s action to reassess this initia-tive and take into account stakeholders’ views and recognize work already underway to im-prove baggage facilitation.”

Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services GmbH (LTLS) has commissioned the innovative, auto-matic storage rack system AutoStore for small parts in Hamburg. More than €3million have been invested at Lufthansa Technik’s home base over the last two years under the project name “ABLS@HAM” as part of the ongoing modernization program by the company in the city of Hamburg. “AutoStore” is a storage and retrieval system in which plastic containers are stacked one on top of the other. At LTLS, a total of 19 robots travel on an aluminum base frame, retrieving items from stock and transporting them to seven picking stations. 75 stock in-puts and up to 200 stock outputs are possible per hour. The compact storage concept deliv-ers space savings of more than 50% compared with the legacy system. The area covered by the automated storage system extends to 700 square meters, with 24,000 containers accom-modating 215,000 batches. Capacity and speed can be enhanced almost infinitely during op-eration.
