TAM Airlines : JJ : TAM

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has concluded a contract worth up to $2.2 billion at engine list prices, with TAM Airlines of Brazil, to provide Trent XWB engines for Airbus A350-XWB aircraft. The order includes a 12 year agreement for TotalCare long-term services support.

Très bien ! Et AF pourrait en prendre note !

This is the first time TAM has ordered engines from Rolls-Royce and follows a previous announcement of the aircraft order made by Airbus.

Oui ! Et RR n'a pas "comptabilisé" sa commande, puisqu'elle n'était pas rédigée en confirmation ! C'est ça, la prudence, et l'honnêteté intellectuelle, et, bien entendu, le respect des us et coutumes, conventions et codes de déontologie du milieu ! Certains devraient en tenir compte ! Par exemple, ... tant qu'un motoriste n'a pas parlé officiellement d'une variante "x" ou d'un package "y", ces libellés de variantes et de package n'existent tout simplement pas ! On ne va tout de même pas adopter comme argent comptant les dires -- si souvent erronés et à côté de la vérité -- des "bloggers" instrumentalisés ! On ne s'attend pas à ce que les divers illetrés sur le sujet & Agités comprennent ces détails !

TAM has placed an order for 27 A350-XWBs.

and fuel efficiency of the latest generation in the Trent family will make this aircraft a significant addition to our fleet.”

Mark King, Rolls-Royce, President, Civil Aerospace said: “TAM has placed its trust in our world class technology by selecting the Trent XWB, which is the most fuel efficient large engine ever built. This order is underpinned by a comprehensive TotalCare engine maintainance package, which will help TAM maximise its use of our technology. We look forward to developing our relationship with TAM Airlines as these aircraft enter service.”

The Trent XWB, specifically designed for the Airbus A350-XWB, is the fastest selling Rolls-Royce Trent engine offering 28 per cent better fuel efficiency than pre-Trent generation engines.

More than 1,100 Trent XWB engines have been sold to 36 customers, with current orders extending beyond 2020.

TAM Drops ATR Fleet In Overhaul Of Pantanal

Brazilian carrier TAM is restructuring operations at Pantanal, the regional airline acquired early last year for BRL13 million ($8.3 million).
The plan, which TAM says was originally scheduled for the end of the month but was implemented without notice July 7, culls the handful of ATR 42-300s operated by Pantanal before its acquisition. The aircraft are being replaced by three Airbus narrowbodies, which join two Airbus A319s and a single A320 subleased by Pantanal from TAM since its acquisition.
Pantanal’s network is also trimmed, with the operator dropping routes that cannot accommodate the three A319s and three A320s that now comprise its fleet, says a TAM spokesman.
Some of the routes are from the network acquired by TAM. The airline’s spokesman confirms that four destinations will still be accessible through a code-share signed in March with Embraer E-Jet operator TRIP.
All six Airbus aircraft operated by Pantanal are in TAM livery, confirms the spokesman, although he notes that ticket sales are still processed through the regional and that all crews are Pantanal’s.
Some of the ATR crews are being retrained on the Airbus narrowbodies, while others have opted to leave the airline, he adds.
Recent problems with an engine on a Pantanal ATR 42 and a reported audit by Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil, have spurred local media to speculate that the cause of TAM’s unexpected decision is due to maintenance. The timing of the announcement also coincides with a pending decision by the mainline carrier on the acquisition of a 31% stake in TRIP as part of its code-share arrangement.

TAM finalizes order for 32 A320 Family aircraft, including 22 A320neo

TAM Airlines, Brazil’s largest airline has finalized a purchase agreement for 32 eco-efficient Airbus A320 aircraft, comprising of 22 A320neo and 10 A320 Family aircraft. The order follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed last February. Engine selection will be announced by the airline at a later date.

“Fuel efficient aircraft are key to our fuel conservation program and to our contribution to the industry’s CO2 emissions reduction,” said José Zaidan Maluf, Contracts and Supply Vice President of TAM Airlines. “As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our operational efficiency, these new A320s will allow us to keep a young fleet, reduce costs and further improve our environmental performance.”

“We are very proud that our long-time customer and one of the largest A320 Family operators will be among the first customers to benefit from the A320neo’s increased capabilities, including a 15 percent reduction in fuel burn and emissions”, said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “With more than 1,200 commitments in less than a year, the A320neo has proven to be a phenomenon for the short -to medium-haul segment that is not only good for business, but also for the environment.”

To date, TAM has ordered over 200 Airbus aircraft, including 27 A350-900, and operates nearly 150 Airbus aircraft to 43 destinations within Brazil and 18 destinations throughout Europe, the United States and South America. The airline, which turned 35 this year, is among the largest A320 Family operators, with 125 in total, including 30 A319s, 86 A320s and nine A321s

Over 7,900 A320 Family aircraft have been ordered and more than 4,800 delivered to some 340 customers and operators worldwide reaffirming its position as the world’s best-selling single-aisle aircraft family. The A320neo has over 95 percent airframe commonality making it an easy fit into existing fleets while offering up to 500 nautical miles (950 kilometres) more range or two tonnes more payload at a given range.

The A320neo is a new engine option for the A320 Family entering into service from 2015 and incorporates latest generation engines and large "Sharklet" wing tip devices, which together will deliver 15 percent in fuel savings. The reduction in fuel burn is equivalent to 1.4 million litres of fuel - the consumption of 1,000 mid size cars, saving 3,600 tonnes of C02 per aircraft per year. The A320neo NOx emissions are 50% below CAEP/6, while this aircraft also has considerably a smaller noise footprint.
