Intentions de Commandes & Commandes fermes

SkyWest Inc. on Wednesday signed an agreement in principle with Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp. for 100 Mitsubishi Regional Jets (MRJ).

The deal is valued at $4.2 billion at list prices, and Mitsubishi president Hideo Egawa said he is “hoping to conclude a firm agreement as soon as possible maybe within a few weeks.”

Deliveries are planned to begin in 2017 and conclude by the end of 2020.

“SkyWest remains committed to providing innovative leadership within the regional airline industry,” SkyWest president Bradford Rich said.

“This agreement is the product of a cooperative partnership that we are confident will create long-term value for both parties.”

Utah-based SkyWest is a holding company for SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet Airlines and operates as United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines and US Airways.

It operates a fleet of 725 regional aircraft.

The MRJ has so far received 70 firm orders, which would jump to 170 following a completion of a firm contract with SkyWest.

Hong Kong-based lessor China Aircraft Leasing Co. (CALC) has signed a memorandum of understanding for 36 A320 family aircraft in a deal valued at $3.1 billion at list prices.

The deal includes eight A321s and operators will be able to select Sharklet wing tips.

Speaking at the signing during the Farnborough Airshow, CALC CEO Mike Poon said the new aircraft would be part of the lessor’s plan to grow to its fleet from 60 to100 aircraft by 2015.

Poon said he expected the majority of placements for the new aircraft to be in the China/Asia region.

CALC’s current portfolio includes 11 five A320s, five A321s and one A330. It also has three A330s and five A320s aircraft in its delivery pipeline.

Publié le 22 mars 2011 à 08h00 par Elsa Lecautec dans [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]......La compagnie aérienne coréenne a modifié sa commande de dix Boeing B787-800 en dix B787-900. Un changement qui repousse la livraison des Dreamliner à 2016. (Sevrien ; B787-8 & B787-9 ; c'est le subconscient qui parle ; dans son for intérieur, Korean Air doit préférer les A350-XWB ! )

Korean Air a finalement opté pour le B787-900, d’une plus grande capacité que le B787-800 : 250 à 290 passagers contre 210 à 250. Selon le constructeur, le nouveau model sera aussi plus économe en carburant.

Mais ce choix a une conséquence non négligeable : Korean Air ne sera livré au plus tôt qu’en 2016. Mais selon la compagnie, cela devrait peu impacté ses opérations grâce à l’entrée dans sa flotte de nouveaux Airbus A330-200....

.Avec trois ans de retard, Boeing devrait livrer son premier B787-800 en juillet prochain (Sevrien : 2011) à All Nippon Airways (ANA), une vingtaine d’appareils devant ensuite être livrés en 2011 à Japan Airlines, Air India et China Southern Airlines. Viendront ensuite – dans le désordre – LAN Airlines (LAN Chile), Aeromexico, Royal Air Maroc et le groupe United Airlines – Continental Airlines.

Aeromexico has signed an order to buy 90 Boeing 737-8 Max and 10 787-9s in a deal worth $10.9 billion at list prices, the airline confirms.

Aeromexico operates an all-Boeing fleet above the regional jet level, which is exclusively flown by Embraer jets.

Aeromexico has signed a tentative agreement to buy 90 Boeing 737-8 Max and 10 787-9s in a deal worth $10.9 billion at list prices, the airline confirms.

Près de 11 milliards de dollars. (Sevrien, ... 26 /07 / 2012 : oui, .... au prix catalogue). C'est le montant estimé du contrat record qu'Aeromexico s'apprête à signer avec Boeing. La compagnie mexicaine vient de parapher, le 25 juillet, une lettre d'intention (LoI) pour pas moins de 100 appareils. Selon Andres Conesa, directeur général du groupe Aeromexico, c'est la plus importante commande de l'histoire de l'aviation mexicaine. Aeromexico s'est ainsi prononcée pour l'achat de 90 futurs avions moyen-courrier 737 MAX 8, ainsi que pour dix long-courriers 787-9.

Les livraisons des 787 devraient débuter dès l'été 2013 à la faveur d'une première commande passée en 2006 pour deux appareils. Il faudra par contre attendre 2018 pour voir les premiers 737 MAX aux couleurs d'Aeromexico. Si elle venait à se confirmer, ce serait la première commande venue d'Amérique Latine pour ce type d'appareil.

Cette LoI fait partie du plan d'extension de la flotte d'Aeromexico débuté en 2011, avec notamment l'achat de dix Embraer E190.

Embraer announced today an agreement with Venezuela’s Conviasa Airlines for the sale of six EMBRAER 190 jets.

The deal also includes 14 purchase options for the same aircraft model.

The value of the order, at list price, is USD 271.2 million, based on January 2012 economic conditions, and could total as much as USD 904 million, if all of the options to buy are confirmed.

The first deliveries are scheduled to take place by the end of 2012.

“It is a great satisfaction to receive this order from Conviasa, the eleventh customer of the E-Jets family in Latin American and the Caribbean region, a market projected to grow an average of 7% per year over the next 20 years,” said Paulo Cesar Silva, President of Embraer, Commercial Aviation. “We are certain that the E190 will play an important role in increasing the quality and efficiency of air travel in Venezuela.”

“We consider the E190 jet to be a fundamental part of the process of renovating Conviasa’s fleet,” said César Martínez Ruiz, President of Conviasa. “These airplanes will allow us to increase connections on both domestic and international routes.”

This deal strengthens Embraer’s position as the absolute market leader in Latin America and the Caribbean, where it holds 75% of the commercial aviation market in the segment of jets up to 120 seats, compared to a worldwide average of 43%.

Conviasa’s new E190s will be comfortably configured with 104 seats, in a single-class layout. At present, the airline serves 14 domestic and nine international destinations.

Singapore Airlines' regional carrier SilkAir has signed a letter of intent to purchase up to 68 new Boeing aircraft for its growth and fleet renewal plans.

The agreement includes a firm order for 23 Boeing 737-800s and 31 Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft, and purchase rights for another 14 aircraft.

"The order is the largest in SilkAir's history and remains subject to the negotiations of a final purchase agreement," the carrier said in a statement listed on the Singapore Exchange.

"The selection of the B737 follows detailed evaluations and extensive negotiations with both Airbus and Boeing. The order will enable us to maintain a young and modern fleet, with an aircraft that has a proven track record of strong customer appeal, excellent reliability and low operating costs," said SilkAir chief executive Marvin Tan.

He adds that the new aircraft will allow SilkAir to expand its network and increase its capacity on existing routes.

SilkAir issued a request for proposals in early 2012, assessing both narrowbodies and regional jets. It now operates a fleet of 21 A319s and A320s, with three more A320s due for delivery by the end of 2013.

Many of the aircraft joined its fleet before or during the mid-2000s, according to Flightglobal's Ascend database.
