Lufthansa Group to order 40 Airbus aircraft worth $4.3 billion


Lufthansa’s Supervisory Board has approved the acquisition of 40 Airbus aircraft worth approximately US$4.3 billion. These aircraft are destined for Lufthansa, plus two of the Group’s subsidiary airlines: SWISS and Germanwings. The orders comprise: 20 A320 Family aircraft and three A330-300s for Lufthansa; four A320 Family aircraft and five A330-300s for SWISS; and eight A319s for Germanwings. With this order, the Lufthansa Group, Airbus’s biggest airline customer, will have acquired a combined total of 410 Airbus aircraft.

“Our decision to acquire additional Airbus aircraft is testament not only to their advantageous operating costs, reliability and performance, but also to our long-standing partnership with Airbus,” says Nico Buchholz, Lufthansa’s Executive Vice President, Group Fleet Management. He adds: These Airbus aircraft will provide eco-efficiency, seamless comfort, passenger appeal and operational synergies across the Lufthansa Group.”

“We are proud that Lufthansa Group has again chosen Airbus aircraft to strengthen its fleet,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. “Lufthansa, SWISS and Germanwings will all benefit from full operational flexibility and commonality thanks to the Airbus Family concept. We are confident that these efficient and modern aircraft will continue to contribute to their success.”

Today Lufthansa Group is Airbus’ biggest operator worldwide with around 325 Airbus aircraft currently in service. These include: 227 A320 Family; 30 A330s; 65 A340s; and three A380s. In addition to this latest decision for 40 aircraft, the Lufthansa Group has an order backlog of a further 51 Airbus aircraft to be delivered. These include 36 A320 Family, three A330s, and 12 A380s.

The A320 single-aisle Family, specialising on short to medium-haul sectors, has established itself as the industry standard for passenger comfort and offers the lowest-operating cost per seat. Over 6,600 have been sold and around 4,400 delivered to more than 300 customers and operators worldwide, making it the world’s best-selling commercial jetliner ever.

Meanwhile, the versatile A330 Family specialises in medium to long ranges and combines high comfort standards, interior flexibility and superior economics with exceptional operational reliability exceeding 99 per cent. Encompassing the A330-200 and A330-300 passenger versions and now also the dedicated A330-200 Freighter, the A330 is the most popular wide-body commercial aircraft in its category, with a combined order total exceeding 1,100

PARIS, 5 octobre (Reuters) - Airbus a annoncé mardi avoir réalisé 379 commandes brutes en janvier-septembre, notamment grâce à celles engrangées au salon aéronautique de Farnborough en juillet.

La filiale d'EADS, qui affiche 328 commandes nettes ajustées des annulations, annonce avoir livré 380 appareils depuis le début de l'année, dont 14 très gros porteurs A380.

Le président exécutif d'EADS Louis Gallois avait déclaré début septembre lors d'un sommet organisé par Reuters qu'il était peu probable que la production d'A380 tombe à moins de 20 appareils en 2011, le seuil minimum fixé pour 2010, et avait réaffirmé la date de 2013 pour la livraison du premier A350.

Airbus a fait état mardi de 53 commandes nettes d'A350-900 sur la période janvier-septembre, en tenant compte de sept annulations.

Airbus avait moissonné les commandes en juillet au salon de Farnborough, en Grande-Bretagne, dont une de plus de trois milliards de dollars passée par la compagnie aérienne du magnat britannique Richard Branson.

Sur le seul mois de septembre, Airbus a enregistré 78 commandes nettes et 45 livraisons.

Hong Kong Airlines confirms orders for A330 and A350 XWB


Hong Kong Airlines has finalised a contract with Airbus covering the firm order of 10 more A330-200 long range aircraft and converted an existing order for 15 A330s to the A350 XWB. Both agreements were previously announced upon signature of an initial MOU during the Farnborough Air Show in July this year.

Deliveries of the newly ordered A330-200s will begin in 2012, while the carrier's first A350 XWB will arrive in 2018. The aircraft will be operated across a long haul network currently being developed by the airline to link Hong Kong with a wide range of destinations in Europe and North America.

"Today's announcement underscores our plan to operate an extensive long haul network," said Yang Jian Hong, President, Hong Kong Airlines. "The A330-200 is the perfect platform for us to develop these services, while the all-new A350 XWB will become our new flagship towards the end of this decade."

"We are extremely pleased that Hong Kong Airlines has placed its confidence in our products to build its long range fleet," said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. "With the A330 and the A350 XWB, the carrier will be operating the cleanest, most efficient aircraft available in the mid-size widebody market, both now and in the future."

Hong Kong Airlines has now ordered a total 33 widebody aircraft from Airbus, comprising 18 A330s and 15 A350 XWBs. The carrier also has 30 single aisle A320 aircraft on firm order for future delivery.

The A330 is one of the most widely used widebody aircraft in service today. To date, Airbus has won more than 1,100 orders for the various versions of the aircraft and over 700 A330s are currently flying with more than 80 airlines worldwide.

The A350 XWB Family is an all-new product line seating between 270 and 350 passengers in typical three-class layouts. Scheduled for first entry-into-service in 2013, the family has now won 573 firm orders from 35 customers worldwide.

Airbus confirmed plans on Thursday for a 25 percent increase in production of its A330 long-range aircraft as it cashes in on delays to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The lightweight carbon-composite 787 aims to outclass the Airbus jet in both technology and fuel efficiency, but sales of the A330 have rebounded sharply while the 787 has fallen three years behind schedule.

Airbus said it would increase production of the twinjet A330 family, which also includes the the largely sidelined four-engined A340, from eight planes a month now to nine a month in early 2012 and 10 in second-quarter 2013.
Airbus officials had said they were considering the production increase at New Year press briefings in January.

It also sought to draw a line under a dispute with the first customer for a freighter version of the A330 by revoking an order for 12 planes from India's Flyington Freighters.
Airbus did not publicly give a reason, but people familiar with the dispute on both sides have said Flyington and Airbus have quarrelled over the payment of deposits against the USD$1.2 billion order and other matters.

Flyington was due to have taken the first delivery of an A330 last year but Airbus substituted Etihad Airways as the inaugural customer at the Farnborough air show last year.

Airbus said it had received 32 plane orders in January, or a net total of 12 orders after the Flyington cancellation. It delivered 33 planes in January.
Airbus plans to offer a military version of the A330 in a competition worth up to USD$50 billion to supply aerial refuelling tankers to the United States. If it wins, it will start assembling the freighter version alongside A330 tankers in Mobile, Alabama. Boeing is offering a version of its 767 airliner, which reached its 1,000th delivery this week.

Thai Airways International will acquire eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 12 Airbus A350s as part of a 37-aircraft acquisition worth Thai baht (Bt) 119 billion ($3.89 billion).
The Star Alliance carrier's board approved the planned acquisition today, said the airline, adding that it will proceed to acquire the aircraft immediately.
Thai plans to purchase 15 aircraft and acquire the remaining 22 on operating leases. It will purchase six Boeing 777-300ERs, to be delivered in 2014 and 2015, four Airbus A350-900s (2016 and 2017) and five Airbus A320-200s (2014 and 2015).
It also plans to acquire six 787-8s and two 787-9s from US lessor International Lease Finance (ILFC) on operating leases. The -8s will be delivered in 2014 and 2015, while the -9s will be delivered in 2017.
In addition, Thai will lease six A350-900s from Aviation Lease and Finance, to be delivered in 2017, and two A350-900s from CIT Aerospace International, which will deliver the aircraft in 2016.
The airline will also lease six A320-200s from RBS Aerospace International, to be delivered in 2012 and 2013.
All the operating leases have terms of 12 years each, said Thai.

The 15-aircraft purchase is estimated to cost Bt49.5 billion, while the aircraft leases are worth Bt69.1 billion, it added.

Thai said the new aircraft acquisition would help it develop a modern, efficient and safe fleet. "In addition, acquiring new aircraft which are made from lightweight and non-corrosive composite materials to replace retiring aircraft will save fuel and maintenance cost," it added.

European plane maker Airbus has orders worth USD$35 billion from India, a senior company executive said on Friday, with recent record order wins in the fast-growing market accounting for more than half of the total orders.

Indian carriers are rapidly expanding their operations as an economy growing at nearly 9 percent spurs business travel and the middle class, long accustomed to rail travel, increasingly takes to the air.

Airbus has an order backlog of more than 400 planes to be delivered to Indian carriers over the next 15 years, Joost Van Der Heijden, Airbus's head of airline marketing for Africa, India, South East Asia and Japan, told reporters in Mumbai.
He said India is the seventh-largest market for Airbus but expected it to climb in coming years.

"India will move up with traffic growth higher than anywhere in the world," Heijden said.

"The Indian fleet will certainly more than double and could even triple in the coming years," he said on the sidelines of an industry conference.
Indian budget carriers Indigo and GoAir last month placed orders worth nearly USD$23 billion in total with Airbus.
Rival Boeing has existing orders of about USD$15 billion with airlines in India, the senior official in its Indian unit said on Thursday.

Boeing expects India's commercial plane market to reach USD$150 billion over the next 20 years, as a burgeoning middle class is expected to drive demand in Asia's third-largest economy.
