Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET) announced today a firm order for six Embraer 190 jets and a conditional firm order for 18 Embraer 190 or 195 jets. The agreement concludes a Letter of Intent (LOI) announced earlier this year.


Republic plans to take delivery of the six firm orders between August and December 2011. The aircraft will be placed into service within the network of Frontier Airlines, and operated by Republic Airlines. Each aircraft will be WiFi-enabled and configured with STRETCH seating, which offers Frontier customers in the first four rows an additional five inches of legroom.

"We look forward to growing our fleet of E190 aircraft and to possibly featuring the E195 in our network," said Bryan Bedford, chairman, president and CEO of Republic Airways. "The E190 is a favorite among business and leisure travelers and offers us great operational flexibility as we continue to optimize our fleet in favor of larger, more economical aircraft."

"Increasing the average seats per aircraft of the Frontier network will help us further improve our cost efficiency and allow us to more closely pair capacity with demand in a number of markets," said Daniel Shurz, vice president of strategy and planning.

Skymark Airlines signs MoU for four A380s


Skymark Airlines, Japan’s third largest and growing airline, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Airbus for the purchase of four A380s, the most advanced, spacious and eco-efficient airliner in service today.

The aircraft will be operated on major international long-haul routes from Tokyo. Engine choice and cabin details will be revealed at a later stage.

“By introducing the world’s most cost-efficient, modern and environmentally friendly aircraft in our fleet, we will offer the travelling public the best comfort in the sky and a new way of flying. With the A380’s spacious and extremely quiet cabin, we'll enter a new era in terms of economic air travel,” said Shinichi Nishikubo, President of Skymark Airlines.

“We are extremely happy and proud that Japan’s growing and ambitious airline Skymark Airlines has become the first Japanese airline to order the A380 and a new customer for us. This is a historic milestone for Airbus and a breakthrough in this important market. We are delighted to see Skymark Airlines sharing our vision of the A380 as the key aircraft for meeting Japan’s air transport needs,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers.

More than 7.5 million passengers have already enjoyed the new experience of flying on-board one of the 39 A380s already delivered, taking them at present to one of 20 major international destinations worldwide in unprecedented levels of comfort. Today, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, and Air France operate the aircraft on daily services to Narita Airport.

Orders for the aircraft stand at 234 from 17 customers.

Notes to editors:

Skymark Airlines, established in 1996 and headquartered at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) in Japan, operates scheduled passenger services on Japan's domestic routes and international charter flights to Seoul and Guam. It is the third largest airline in Japan.

Aussi, ..... à noter :
GECAS a acheté, ..... car cela fait parti des accords. Aussi, il faut tout de même que GECAS achète les moteurs de Maman !

Cela fait des commandes, enregistrées en "extra-comptable" (rien à voir avec la partie double de la 'compta' à ce stade !), en ligne avec les accords qui ont permis à GE d'obtenir la place sur l'aile de cet avion pour le 'faux LeapX', ....... qui permettra le développement du LeapX !

Ensuite, ... on va être dans le même système de vente conditionnelle (illégale, donc) de :

• 'Tu commandes mes moteurs, et je te financerai tes avions' !
  
• 
  

C'est ce type de commande qu'il faudrait, pour Le Bombardier CSeries :

• 100 appareils, .... de préférence auprès d'un même client (une même Cie. aérienne). ;)
  

TransAsia Airways fait l’acquisition de deux Airbus A330 et six A321

il s’agirait de répondre à la demande à destination de la Chine continentale et de l’Asie. TransAsia Airways, basée à Taiwan, a passé une commande ferme avec Airbus, portant sur deux gros-porteurs A330-300 et six monocouloirs A321. Ces appareils seront principalement exploités sur des lignes directes reliant Taiwan et la Chine continentale, ainsi que sur de nouvelles lignes régionales. Les A330 seront les premiers gros-porteurs à rejoindre la flotte de la compagnie. Le choix de la motorisation de ces A330 et A321 sera annoncé très prochainement.
« Cette nouvelle commande reflète la forte demande sur nos lignes à destination de la Chine continentale et de la région », a déclaré Vincent Lin, Président de TransAsia Airways. « TransAsia bénéficiera de la grande communité technique et opérationnelle offerte par la gamme Airbus, les A330 couvrant nos lignes à forte densité de trafic et les A321 nous permettant d’étendre notre réseau, à la fois à destination de la Chine continentale et dans la région. »
« Nous sommes extrêmement heureux que TransAsia Airways ait à nouveau porté son choix sur des appareils Airbus pour répondre aux besoins actuels de sa flotte », a pour sa part ajouté John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer Customers d’Airbus. « Nous sommes certains que les faibles coûts d’exploitation, la régularité technique de ces appareils qui a fait ses preuves ainsi que l’intérêt des passagers pour à la fois l’A330 et l’A321 placeront la compagnie en bonne position pour exercer une concurrence efficace sur son réseau en pleine expansion. »
TransAsia Airways, qui fait partie du Goldsun Group, exploite des appareils Airbus depuis 1995. Aujourd’hui, le transporteur exploite cinq A321 et deux A320 sur ses lignes intérieures et régionales, dont 13 dessertes à destination de la Chine continentale.
L’A330 est l’un des gros-porteurs les plus exploités dans le monde actuellement. A ce jour, Airbus totalise plus de 1 100 commandes fermes pour les différentes versions de cet appareil. Plus de 700 A330 sont actuellement en service auprès de plus de 80 utilisateurs dans le monde.
La famille A320 (A318, A319, A320 et A321) est la référence sur le marché des monocouloirs, avec plus de 6 700 appareils commandés, dont plus de 4 400 ont été livrés à quelque 310 clients et utilisateurs dans le monde

Air Astana in Talks to Acquire Three Dreamliners From Boeing

Air Astana, a venture between the Kazakh government and BAE Systems Plc, is in talks to acquire three Boeing Co. 787-8 planes, President Peter Foster said.

The airline aims to receive the Dreamliner jets in 2014 if the talks conclude with an order, Foster told reporters today in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s biggest city. That order, plus the planned acquisition of six A320s from Airbus SAS, would lead Air Astana to invest more than $500 million through 2015, Foster said.

The list price for the A320 is $81.4 million, according to Airbus. Chicago-based Boeing says the 787-8 lists in a range from $161 million to $171.5 million. Foster didn’t specify what discounts Astana would receive. Astana said in December 2007, without specifying the cost, that it planned to acquire six A320s and three 787-8s.

Air Astana expects to carry 2.5 million passengers this year on domestic flights in Kazakhstan, an increase of more than 20 percent from 2009, Foster said.

It plans to take a first delivery of Embraer 190 aircraft from Brazil’s Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA early next year. The planes will be used on services within the country of 16 million people, which is about four times the size of Texas and is central Asia’s largest energy producer.

Air Astana is 51 percent-owned by the state and 49 percent by London-based BAE, Europe’s biggest defense contractor.

National Wellbeing Fund Samruk-Kazyna, the Kazakh parent of Air Astana, “has medium term plans to do partial listing of some of its units,” Foster said. “We don’t know whether Air Astana will be included in that list.”

M. Al BAKER, CEO de Qatar Airways, aurait annoncé son intention de passer une commande pour "plusieurs Superjumbo Airbus A380".

PARIS, Nov 25, 2010 (AFP) - Gulf flag-carrier [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] is considering ordering more A380 superjumbos from European planemaker Airbus, the airline's chief executive Akbar Al Baker said Thursday.

Hawaiian Airlines has placed a firm order for an additional six Airbus A330-200s.

The long-range, widebody twinjets will join Hawaiian's fleet of three A330s and an existing backlog of seven A330-200s and six A350 XWBs.

The carrier became an Airbus operator for the first time earlier this year.Hawaiian's A330-200s seat 294 passengers in a two-class configuration.

The six additional aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines.

"These additional widebody A330s will give us more flexibility to pursue domestic and international expansion opportunities, replace our existing Boeing 767 fleet and improve our ability to compete profitably in the coming years," says Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines CEO.

LAN prépare son expansion en Colombie. Son directeur financier, Alejandro de la Fuente, a indiqué que la compagnie chilienne envisageait d’acquérir entre quinze et vingt monocouloirs de la famille A320 pour développer ses activités en Colombie.

Les appareils rejoindraient donc les flottes d’Aires et d’Aeroasis.

LAN a en effet complété le rachat d’Aires le 26 novembre. Elle a acquis 99% des parts de la compagnie colombienne pour 12 millions de dollars et la reprise d’une dette de 100 millions de dollars. Elle va désormais lui appliquer son modèle : elle développera initialement son réseau domestique puis, à moyen terme, la fera se lancer à l’international.

Une partie des A320 devrait donc rejoindre les neuf Boeing 737-700, onze Bombardier Q200 et quatre Q400, que la compagnie a acquis en leasing.

Les autres appareils pourraient intégrer la start-up Aeroasis. LAN lui fournit en effet un support technique pour qu’elle obtienne les permis qui lui permettront de lancer ses opérations. Elle envisage par la suite de l’acquérir et de l’intégrer au groupe.

Panama's Copa Airlines orders 22 Boeing 737-800s

Boeing and Panama City-based [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] announced an order for 22 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]-800 aircraft Tuesday. Boeing previously attributed the order to an unidentified customer.
"These 22 firm aircraft plus 10 options, which deliver between 2015 and 2018, are an integral part of our medium-term growth plan," Copa Chief Executive Officer Pedro Heilbron said in a news release. "This is the largest aircraft order in Copa's history, which is a reflection not only of our confidence in the future of Latin America and Panama, but also of our successful business model, which has made our Hub of the America's the best connecting point for intra-Latin America travel."
The 22 airplanes are worth approximately $1.7 billion at list prices, although airlines generally get large discounts. Over the past two years, Copa has bought 37 737-800s from Boeing and signed leasing agreements for another 10.
Boeing received orders for 449 737s from Jan. 1 through Nov. 23, with cancellation of orders of 14, for a net of 435.
