Airbus Commandes et livraisons

Spain's Iberia ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]) has exercised an option to buy five planes and sold them to British Airways ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]), a spokeswoman for the Spanish flag carrier said, in a sign that the merger partners are moving ever closer.
Iberia's shares were up as much as 2 percent on Friday, before flattening out, against an IBEX-35 index down 2.8 percent at 1143 GMT.
"The two had said that this was one of the areas where they could generate synergies," an analyst in Spain said.
BA and Iberia are hoping for around 400 million euros of annual synergies from their tie-up, which is due to be completed by the end of the year [ID:nLDE63707M].
A report in Spain's Expansion newspaper said the five Airbus A320 planes had a catalogue value of about 300 million dollars.
The planes originally formed part of Iberia's biggest ever fleet renovation deal, signed in 2005 with Airbus EADS.PA for 30 acquisitions and 49 options on aircraft for delivery to 2011.
British Airways declined to comment.

FRANCFORT, 7 juin (Reuters) -
Le groupe européen d'aéronautique EADS estime que ses ventes en 2010 pourraient être supérieures aux prévisions du fait du recul de l'euro sur les marchés des changes, selon son directeur financier.

Dans une interview à paraître dans le Financial Times Deutschland, Hans Peter Ring souligne que les mesures de couverture de changes prises par la compagnie auront un impact sur les projections de revenus à partir
de 2012.

"Mais il semble que cela sera différent concernant nos revenus parce que nous avons davantage de volatilité.
Par conséquent nos revenus pourraient être meilleurs que ce qui était préalablement prévus", dit-il.

Dans ses projections pour 2010, EADS s'attendait à des résultats stables par rapport à l'année précédente en
s'appuyant sur un taux de change de 1,40 dollar pour un euro. La monnaie unique européenne a reculé pour revenir à 1,20 dollar environ.

A long terme, souligne dimanche le président du conseil d'administration d'EADS Bodo Übber dans le Welt am Sonntag, un euro faible est favorable à la compagnie puisqu'elle produit dans la zone euro (et règle donc une grande partie de ses coûts en euros) et que ses ventes sont pour l'essentiel libellées en dollars.

UPDATE 1-Airbus won 117 net planes orders in H1

PARIS July 2 (Reuters) - Airbus sold 131 aircraft in the first half of the year, or a net total of 117 planes after adjusting for cancellations.

The European planemaker also said on Friday it had delivered 250 aircraft in the first six months of the year, including 7 A380 superjumbos.

The company's latest order book shows that it received six cancellations of A330-300 wide-body jets in June, of which Finnish carrier Finnair accounted for two. Airbus did not name the airline which cancelled the other other four A330s but there have been industry expectations that Bahrain-based Gulf Air would trim its order for 20 A330s by four aircraft as it expands its fleet of smaller A320-family planes.

Airbus's latest order figures show that Dubai's DAE Capital, which says it is renegotiating aircraft orders with both Airbus and Boeing, has so far left its order for 100 Airbus planes intact.

PARIS, 6 août (Reuters) -

Airbus a annoncé vendredi avoir plus que doublé ses commandes d'avions cette année grâce au salon de Farnborough mais cette abondante moisson a été gâtée par l'annulation de trois milliards de dollars de commandes de Dubai Aerospace Enterprise.

DAE, société de leasing basée à Dubaï, a réduit de 25% le volume d'une commande de 100 appareils Airbus, renonçant à 18 A320 et sept A350-900, selon des données fournies par le constructeur aéronautique européen.

A fin juillet, les commandes brutes de la filiale d'EADS s'élevaient à 286, soit plus du double des 131 annoncées fin juin.

Ajusté des annulations, qui étaient au nombre de 27 en juillet, Airbus affiche 245 commandes nettes.

L'avionneur a aussi annoncé avoir livré 298 appareils depuis le début de l'année.

Il vise plus de 400 ventes et 500 livraisons en 2010. L'américain Boeing a de son côté déclaré avoir reçu des commandes totalisant 319 avions entre janvier et juillet, soit 255 avions en données ajustées des
annulations.

Le salon de Farnborough, qui s'est tenu en juillet dans la banlieue de Londres, a symbolisé aux yeux de nombreux experts la sortie de la récession pour l'industrie aéronautique.

Thai Airways International has finalised a firm order with Airbus for the purchase of seven Airbus A330-300s, following a memorandum of understanding signed at last month's Farnborough Air Show.
Deliveries of the new aircraft will start from end-2011, says Airbus.

"Thai has ordered the additional A330-300 aircraft to meet our medium haul requirement and enable us to continue to operate one of the most modern and efficient fleets in the region," says the airline's president Piyasvasti Amranand.
"Our fleet strategy aims to improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by matching aircraft size to market demand, while working on fleet simplification in the long-term. The popular A330 remains an important part of that strategy."

Thai has said it plans to use the new aircraft to replace its A300-600s. It already operates 20 A330-300s.
"This latest order from Thai is another vote of confidence in the proven efficiency, low operating costs and wide passenger appeal of the A330," says Airbus' chief operating officer John Leahy.

India clears plane order for low-cost carriers

NEW DELHI — India's government has approved the multi-billion-dollar purchase of 46 new aircraft by three low-cost carriers SpiceJet, IndiGo and Jet Lite, as air travel revives.
The acquisitions worth a total of 190 billion rupees (4.1 billion dollars) were cleared by a civil aviation ministry panel this week and the new planes will start arriving in November, the Business Standard reported on Saturday.
Under the approvals, US manufacturer Boeing will supply 32 planes and its European rival Airbus 14.
The hefty plane order by the low-cost airlines reflects their growing importance in the Indian market. Combined, the low-cost carriers fly half of all passengers in India.
India's airlines are rapidly expanding their fleets as the country's economy rebounds from the global financial crisis, boosting the number of air travellers.
Indian airlines carried a record 44 million passengers in 2009 and Boeing has said it expects that number to increase by eight to 10 percent this year.
New Delhi-based SpiceJet received government approval for 30 Boeing 737-800s with delivery set to start from 2014. IndiGo, the country?s largest low-cost carrier with a market share of 16.9 percent, won approval for 14 A-320s for 2011-12.
The third airline JetLite, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jet Airways, has been granted permission to buy two Boeing 737-800s in November.
The latest approvals came after the government last month gave in-principle clearance to fast-expanding IndiGo to buy 150 new aircraft over the next two to three years as it looks to fly international routes.
That comes on top of 100 Airbus A320 jets Indigo ordered in 2005 -- for which deliveries will run until 2015.
The company has given no cost for its planned acquisition spree but media reports have estimated it at around 650 billion rupees.
The low-cost boom has forced full-service carriers Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways to start budget subsidiaries.
They have shifted 60 to 70 percent of their total seat inventory to their low-cost operations -- JetLite, Jet Konnect and Kingfisher Red.
Government-owned Air India is also looking at launching low-cost operations in the domestic sector.
These capacity additions are set to take the number of low-cost seats on the domestic network to 80 percent, according to industry estimates.

PARIS — Le constructeur aéronautique européen Airbus a enregistré 250 commandes nettes d'avions depuis le début de l'année, soit onze de moins que son concurrent américain Boeing, et livré 335 appareils, selon son bilan commercial à fin août rendu public vendredi.

La filiale du groupe EADS a enregistré 301 commandes brutes, soit 250 nettes après les annulations.

Son concurrent Boeing a pour sa part pris 328 commandes brutes et enregistré 67 annulations, selon son bilan.

Côté livraisons, Airbus a livré au 31 août 335 avions, dont treize très gros porteurs A380.

Pour sa part, Boeing a remis 308 appareils aux compagnies aériennes avec une écrasante majorité de son avion vedette le moyen-courrier 737.

Le groupe américain reste donc légèrement en tête en termes d'unités, qui ne reflète pas nécessairement la valeur des commandes.

Chez les deux constructeurs, qui profitent de l'embellie du secteur, les moyen-courriers (famille Airbus A320 et Boeing 737) se taillent la part du lion.

Airbus a ainsi enregistré depuis janvier 183 commandes de son monocouloir.

Boeing a engrangé 236 commandes de 737.

En août, le constructeur est parvenu a maintenir la cadence de livraison de trois super jumbo A380.
Il avait indiqué à l'AFP avoir réorganisé ses lignes d'assemblage afin d'augmenter le rythme de livraisons.

Le groupe européen table sur plus de quatre cents prises de commandes brutes cette année, une prévision qu'il a récemment relevée.

Cathay Pacific Airways firms up order for 30 A350 XWBs

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Cathay Pacific Airways has firmed up a previously announced commitment for 30 all-new ­A350 XWB long range aircraft. The purchase agreement was finalised in Hong Kong today by Tony Tyler, Chief Executive, Cathay Pacific Airways and John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer Customers, Airbus. The aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.


Cathay Pacific will operate the A350 XWB across its route network, principally on non-stop services to Europe. Featuring an all-new design, the aircraft will represent a step change in operational efficiency, burning significantly less fuel than existing aircraft of a similar size and offering a corresponding reduction in carbon emissions. For passengers, the extra wide cabin will offer the highest standards in in-flight comfort, with a spacious interior design, new, wider windows and the latest state-of-the-art amenities.

Mr Tyler said: “I am delighted that we have now finalised this milestone deal for Cathay Pacific. The purchase of these new generation aircraft is an important step in our plan to grow our fleet to ensure that we stay at the forefront of the industry. The A350 fits perfectly into our operation. Its passenger capacity, flight range and operating economics are just right to become the backbone of our mid-sized long haul wide-bodied fleet."

“We are extremely pleased to have finalised this order with one of the world's most prestigious and well-managed airlines," said John Leahy. "The selection of the A350 XWB by Cathay Pacific is a clear endorsement of the aircraft’s compelling advantages over the competing product, with lower fuel-burn, reduced operating costs and a wider, more comfortable cabin. We look forward to the aircraft playing a key role in enabling Cathay to remain at the forefront of the industry with one of the cleanest and most modern fleets in the world."

The A350 XWB (Xtra Wide-Body) Family is an all-new mid-size long range product line comprising three basic passenger versions seating between 270 and 350 passengers in typical three-class layouts. Scheduled for entry-into-service in 2013, the A350 Family is already one of most successful aircraft programmes ever, with a total of 558 firm orders already received from 34 customers worldwide.
