Bombardier Aerospace confirmed today that a firm order for five Q400 NextGen aircraft and options for another five, which was previously announced on August 3, 2009, was placed by All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd (ANA) of Tokyo,Japan.

As previously announced, based on the list price for the Q400 NextGen aircraft, the firm order contract is valued at approximately $159 million US, and could increase to $332 million US should all five options be converted to firm orders.

Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) has confirmed that it will lease six Boeing 777-200ER aircraft from Singapore Airlines to replace its 767-300ERs.

The two carriers signed the lease agreement today, says RBA, adding that the 777s will help it renew its fleet and expand its operations.
"In addition to a higher passenger and cargo capacity than the 767s, the 777s' improved product will enhance RBA's ability to grow its revenue base," says RBA.
The airline said earlier this month it is in talks with SIA to lease 777s, and was expecting to finalise a deal soon.
RBA's first 777 is expected to arrive on 26 May, and the airline will operate the first flight to London via Dubai during the third week of June.

The remaining five aircraft will arrive between June and September, adds the carrier.
Each aircraft will be configured with 30 business class and 255 economy class seats. The 777s will be equipped with RBA's in-flight entertainment system with individual screens and video and audio on demand, says RBA.
"The support that Royal Brunei Airlines received from Singapore Airlines brought this partnership beyond a pure lease. Under the lease terms, selected support programmes provided by Original Equipment Manufacturers to SIA are also provided to RBA to cover the aircraft engines, auxiliary power unit and other selected components," says RBA's CEO Robert Yang.

São José dos Campos, May 11, 2010

Embraer has signed a contract with LOT Polish Airlines to convert four EMBRAER 175 firm orders to the EMBRAER 195 model.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Polish airline placed an additional firm order for 12 EMBRAER 175 jets (at that time, the company operated six EMBRAER 170s and four EMBRAER 175s).

Four aircraft were delivered in 2009 and four will be delivered by the end of this year.

The four remaining jets were converted into firm orders for EMRBAER 195s, and the deliveries are scheduled to begin
in 2011. The airline also holds two options and ten purchase rights for the EMRBAER 175.

Dubai based Emirates Airline has ordered a further 32 A380s from Airbus, taking their total firm orders for the iconic flagship of the 21st century to 90 aircraft. The order has a list price of US$ 11.5 billion. The agreement was signed in a ceremony today at the Berlin Air Show witnessed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, by Emirates Airline Group Chairman and CEO His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, and Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders

“This latest order, adding to 58 A380s previously ordered, affirms Emirates’ strategy to become a world leading carrier and to further establish Dubai as a central gateway to worldwide air travel. The A380 is our flagship in terms of passenger comfort, innovation, operating and environmental efficiency and revenue generation. Our latest commitment signals Emirates’ confidence in the growth to come in a thriving aviation sector,” said H.H.Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al- Maktoum.

“Emirates has supported the development of the A380 from the earliest days, and today’s order - the single largest A380 order ever - is the best endorsement I can imagine. On behalf of all of us at Airbus, we thank Emirates for their confidence and support. The A380 is indeed a remarkable eco-efficient aircraft, a profit generator for airlines and a great flying experience for passengers,” said Tom Enders.

Following delivery of their first A380 in July 2008, Emirates now operates ten aircraft serving eight international destinations including London Heathrow, Toronto, Paris, Jeddah, Bangkok, Seoul, Sydney and Auckland. The airline expects the list of destinations to increase as more and more airports around the world are A380 ready. Emirates’ tenth A380, received on 7 June 2010, is on static display at the ILA Berlin Air Show. All Emirates’ A380 are powered by Engine Alliance GP7200 engines and delivered from Hamburg. In Germany more than 30 major suppliers are directly feeding into the A380 programme. The A380 programme alone adds an estimated 40,000 direct, indirect and induced German jobs.

The world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, is also the quietest and most fuel efficient, demonstrably consuming less than three litres of fuel per passenger per 100 kilometres. Nearly 5.5 million passengers have already enjoyed the new experience of flying on-board one of the 30 A380s in service, taking them to 20 major international destinations worldwide in unequalled comfort.

The A380 in-service fleet has accumulated over 15,000 commercial flights, and its operators have unanimously praised its popularity with passengers, higher load factors and superior profitability. With a range of 8,300nm / 15,400 km, and seating from 400 to more than 800 passengers, the A380 is the answer to alleviate traffic congestion at busy airports, cope with growth and minimise environmental impact. A380 firm orders now stand at 234 from 17 customers.

Germania chooses Airbus A319 to start complete fleet rollover

S.A.T., the holding company of Berlin based airline Germania, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for five Airbus A319s. Germania will thus become a new Airbus operator and plans to start a complete fleet rollover to eco-efficient Airbus A319s. Deliveries of the aircraft will commence from April 2011 onwards. Germania will fly the A319s to their 30 destinations in Germany, Europe, around the Mediterranean region and the Middle East.

Finnair first to commit to A321s with Sharklets

Finnair has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for five Airbus A321s equipped with the new fuel-saving Sharklet wing tip devices, becoming the world’s first airline to commit to the A321 with Sharklets. The increased eco-efficiency of the A321 with Sharklets will offer Finnair a four per cent fuel saving on specific Finnair routes compared to today’s aircraft.

Irkut signs USD 5 bln contract for supply of 50 MS-21 planes to Malaysia


MOSCOW, June 7 (Itar-Tass) --The corporation Irkut on Monday signed a contract with Crecom Burj Resources for the supply of 50 MS-21 planes to Malaysia.

“The sum of the contract is estimated at five billion U.S. dollars,” a source close to the negotiations told Itar-Tass.

The first supplies will begin in 2014, he said.

“After that the planes will be leased to air lines,” the official said, adding that several Southeast Asian air carriers have already expressed interest in the Russian MS-21 plane.

“The work on the plane is proceeding as scheduled. We have completed the rough design and started working on technical design,” Industry and Trade Minister Viktor Khristenko said earlier.

“This is a breakthrough-like product that should enter the global market in 2016-2017 and be 15 percent more efficient than the current offers,” he said earlier.

The project was drafted in 2008. In 2009, a tender was held and a contract of about 1.5 billion roubles was signed for the development of the paper vehicle. In 2010, more than five billion roubles will be allocated for this project.

Khristenko believes that the implementation of this project will mean “the creation of a whole range of new technologies, including the so-called black, or composite, wing. A tender for it has been held. The winner is the United Aircraft Corporation”.

“Despite challenging financing obligations, we have all the funds for the near future. They have been concentrated and we will strictly stick to them,” the minister added.

He said, “We plan to increase the share of civil aircraft on the global market from 1 percent now to 10 percent in 2020, and we have the opportunity to fulfil this ambitious task.”

MS-21 planes will have a wider body for the comfort of passengers. They will have a better wing sweep to increase safety during landings and takeoffs. The wings will be a bit thicker in order to take on mire fuel, which will allow the planes to travel greater distances.

All these factors will negatively affect aerodynamic properties of the planes. “This makes the success of the scientists who have improved this crucial property of any aircraft all the more important,” Zhukovsky Central Aerodynamic Institute (TsAGI) Director Sergei Chernyshev said.

MS-21 Programme Director Andrei Matveyev said, “Increasing aerodynamic properties of a plane even by 1 percent over several years is considered to be a big achievement.”

He said the new design would reduce operating costs by 12-15 percent as compared to that of existing foreign counterparts and give additional competitive advantages to the new plane.

The Yakovlev Design Bureau is the principal designer of the MS-21 plane. It is working under the federal programme “Development of Civil Aircraft in Russia”. The state contractor is the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The MS-21 aircraft has been developed on the basis of Yak-242 type by the Yakovlev Design Bureau in association with the llyushin Aviation Complex. The MS-21 airplane has been readily embraced by the aircraft market since it meets all the requirements and can compete against similar Boeing and Airbus aircraft, outdoing them in price, fuel efficiency and passenger comfort.

For instance, aircraft of the MS-21 project were compared against Airbus company's A320 and Boeing's latest models, B717 and B737. The Russian aircraft features an improved passenger comfort cabin, enhanced fuel efficiency and a reasonable price. In terms of cost-to-effectiveness ratio, the new Russian aircraft will significantly outperform similar advanced aircraft offered by Western producers.

The MS-21 aircraft is to replace all models of Tu-154B and Tu-I54M aircraft as well as Yak-42 in Russia. It is planned to build around 600 aircraft of the MS-21 family within 20 years, with an annual production rate of 30 to 36 machines. It is planned to sell around 640 MS-21 aircraft in 2008-2009, including around 415 planes going to Russia's domestic market and 225 to foreign customers. The MS-21 will provide the basis for a whole family of aircraft, including an MS-21-100 plane capable of carrying 132 or 116 passengers in a two-class configuration, an MS-21-200 to carry 156 or 140 passengers in a two-class configuration, an MS-21-300 to carry 174 or 158 passengers in a two-class configuration, an MS-2IK to carry cargoes, an MS-21KP to carry cargoes and passengers.

The MS-21 jet and the Sukhoi SuperJet-100 passenger plane together may meet 80 percent of Russian air carriers' demand for new aircraft.

The Irkutsk aircraft plant will begin the production of MS-21 mainline planes in 2014.

MS-21 will be manufactured in three modifications, for 150, 180 and 210 passengers. The first plane will be built in 2014, while a new model will appear on the market in 2015-2016.

“The mainline MS-21 plane will replace the popular Tu-154. It's a very ambitious, colossal project, because by launching the production of MS-21, we are invading the world's elite aircraft making. This model will put competitive pressure on A-320 and Boeing-737,” United Aircraft Corporation President Alexei Fyodorov said earlier.

C admin approuve projet achat 7 Airbus,8 Boeing

Le conseil d'administration de la compagnie aérienne Thai Airways International PCL (THAI.TH) a donné son feu vert au projet d'achat de sept Airbus 330-300 et de huit Boeing 777-300ER pour moderniser sa flotte.
Le président de la compagnie aérienne, Piyasvasti Amranand, a refusé de donner une indication de prix concernant ces opérations.
Il a déclaré à la presse vendredi que Thai Airways acquérrait les avions Airbus par le biais d'un leasing financier - avec deux appareils livrés en 2011, trois en 2012 et deux en 2013 -, et que les avions Boeing seraient obtenus en leasing opérationnel - avec quatre appareils livrés en 2012 et les quatre autres en 2013.

Lufthansa est toujours aussi friande de Bombardier. La compagnie allemande a passé une nouvelle commande auprès de l’avionneur canadien le 2 juillet, portant sur huit CRJ 900 NextGen.

Il s’agit de la conversion d’options qu’elle détenait d’un précédent accord.

Le contrat est évalué à 317 millions de dollars.

Les appareils régionaux, qui seront dotés d’une cabine de 86 places, devraient être livrés progressivement au cours du premier semestre 2011 et seront intégrés à Lufthansa Regional.

Lufthansa, au travers de ses filiales régionales CityLine, Eurowings et Augsburg Airways, exploite déjà un certain nombre d’appareils issus des usines du constructeur canadien : dix Q400, vingt-deux CRJ 200,
trente-deux CRJ 700 et vingt-sept CRJ 900.

La compagnie a un lien particulier avec Bombardier : elle a été opératrice de lancement du CRJ 100 en 1992. Depuis, elle a commandé 109 exemplaires de la famille de jets régionaux.

Berlin-based Germania's holding company has firmed its order for five AirbusA319 aircraft, having disclosed a tentative agreement earlier this year.

The holding company, SAT, had previously reached a memorandum of understanding for the type.

As a result Germania, which is rolling over its fleet of Boeing 737s, will become a new Airbus operator.

"Germania and its customers will profit from [the A319's] proven efficiency and its enormous flexibility for charter and schedules routes," says Germania chief Axel Trampnau.

Deliveries of the CFM International CFM56-powered aircraft, configured with 150 seats, will start in 2011.

Ilyushin Finance orders 20 An-158s
