Jazeera Air unit leases planes to Virgin America

DUBAI, Oct 10 (Reuters) - A unit of Kuwait's Jazeera AirwaysGroup (JAZK.KW) has signed a $155 million leasing contract tosupply four Airbus A320 jets to U.S.-based carrier VirginAmerica, the companies said in a joint statement on Sunday.

The lease is the first to a U.S. customer by Sahaab Aircraft Leasing, a fully owned subsidiary of the group, and is part of an expansion drive by Virgin America. Sahaab was acquired in February 2010 by the group, also parent of Jazeera Airways (JAZK.KW).

At July's Farnborough Airshow, Europe's Airbus (EAD.PA)received a $3 billion-plus preliminary order from Virgin America for 40 Airbus A320 jets, plus options for 20 more.[IDLDE66L1SD]

"The airline, with 28 aircraft in service, is a rising star in North America," said Jazeera Airways Group Chairman Marwan Boodai in the statement. "We... look forward to a long-term relationship with the airline." Sahaab's leasing activities started in October 2008 with Jazeera Airways as its first customer.

Virgin America, which operates from San Francisco to destinations across the U.S. and Canada, was launched in August 2007 as a U.S.-owned, controlled and operated airline. British entrepreneur Richard Branson's Virgin Group [VA.UL] is a minority investor.

"We're pleased to partner with Sahaab as we continue to grow aggressively and expand our network in North America," said Holly Nelson, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Virgin America in the statement. "With strong demand, a healthy projected revenue environmentand expansion to several new cities ahead - this partnershipwill help fuel our network and financial growth," he added.

The airline added four new destinations this year and said it expected its fleet to grow by two-thirds by the end of 2011and triple in size by 2016. (Reporting by Tamara Walid; Editing by Greg Mahlich)

Bonjour!

TNT va louer 3 777 F à Guggenheim !
Ou l'on peu voire que les 777F, sont vraiment compétitifs, versus les 747 F, presque la même charge, et les écos du bi-moteur en plus !
Bon, pour un courrier, les volumes devraient compter aussi !

Le A330 F est un peu court pour ces missions, faut le reconnaître !

Belgium's TNT to lease three Guggenheim 777 freighters
By David Kaminski-Morrow



Belgian-based TNT Airways is to lease three Boeing 777 freighters for its Asian routes, introducing the type to its fleet next year.TNT Airways is to acquire the aircraft from Guggenheim Aviation Partners.

The first will be delivered in July 2011.Two more 777Fs will be brought into the TNT fleet by the end of the same year.TNT already uses four Boeing 747-400ERFs on its Europe-Asia routes.

Two of these aircraft are owned while the other two are taken on short-term lease contracts.Atlas Air is wet-leasing 747-400ERF capacity to TNT, whose main operations are centred in Liege.

TNT says the 777F agreement will "reduce reliance on commercial line-haul and external short-term contract capacity".It also points out that the twin-engined type will provide "near-equivalent" capability to its 747 operation.

"Its performances and versatility are just excellent for the type of long-haul service we operate," says TNT air network managing director Niky Terzakis.Guggenheim previously ordered several of the General Electric GE90-powered 777Fs.

Boeing's current customer log lists a total of three of the type against the lessor.

Bon un article de Leeham, concernant les lessors et ... bien fait en plus !

Comme quoi les Chinois de BOC ont moins d'états d'âme que SUH avec les résidual values ... et ce sont des banquiers pourtant !
Vivre avec leur époque, ils connaissent maintenant !

Et je reste surpris des levées de boucliers , contre le A320, NEO, une évolution somme toute, dans le même ordre que le passage au B737 NG, qui n'a pas coulé le marché non plus ...
Et personne n'a protesté contre les B787, A350, qui vont enterrer les 330, et 777, qui ont eux même enterré les B767 et A310 et A346 ;;; c'est Darwinesque !

Et d'un seul coup un consortium d'intérêts, confortablement établis, découvre que des avions de 30 ou 40 ans veulent évoluer et assurer une transition, pour dans 10 ans ou plus ...et surtout les A320, qui en sont la cible cette foi ... le 737, personne n'a songé à freiner son évolution en son temps ... c'est quoi ça !

C'est le grand n'importe quoi orchestré par des manipulateurs pas forcément avisés, mais sûrement intéressés, t dont probablement les séquences de re-nouvellement des contrats tombent mal, mauvais timing (Bien imposé par les circonstances, chez SUH , pas de recul possible ni d'étalement) ... ça arrive, mais pour les grosse flottes, c'est un flux continu !

Et les Airliners, c'est à dire les clients, sont les premiers demandeurs d'avions performants ...

Allez demander à un constructeur automobile , sous la pression du marché, de retarder des évolutions, en fonction des entrées à la casse !
A ce rythme les lessors proposeraient encore 707, 727 et Caravelles !

Allez bonne nuit messieurs les lessors, la terre tourne au cas ou vous l'ayez oublié !
Vos Avions de plus de 12 ans sont amortis ... ben vous les louerez pour ... ce qu'ils valent, sinon, changez de métier !

Mumbai: Air India Ltd has unexpectedly decided to augment its 148-strong fleet by leasing 57 planes as it pushes to boost capacity amid a boom in the country’s air travel market.
The carrier—already in the middle of a $11 billion (Rs50,270 crore) programme to buy 111 aircraft—now wants to lease 10 Airbus SAS A330s for international operations, 14 Airbus A320s and Boeing Co. 737s besides smaller planes made by Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) of France and Canada’s Bombardier Inc.
It wants to lease the planes for a five-year period starting early next year, according to the tender document posted on its website.
“Going by the current situation, we will not be able to buy planes to meet our requirements,” said a senior Air India executive on condition of anonymity. “Hence, we are opting (for the) leasing route.”

The move also signals the airline’s intention to try and regain the market share it has lost to rivals such as Jet Airways (India) Ltd, the country’s biggest by passengers carried, especially in local services, with operations now based in the capital.

“We have shifted our network hub to New Delhi from Mumbai,” said the executive. “Now we will add more flights on domestic routes and are looking at reviving regional operations by getting more smaller planes.”
The total cost of the leasing programme was not available.
The carrier may be taking on too many planes, given its financial condition, said Mahantesh Sabarad, senior vice-president (equity research) at Fortune Equity Brokers (India) Ltd. “I am surprised by the number of planes that Air India is looking at,” he said. “The quantum of planes is huge. I don’t think it is financially viable at this point of time.”
The Air India executive cited above said the airline was facing financial issues and was in the process of turning itself around with the help of a government bailout package.
“That should not stop an airline in exploiting the potential market opportunities. There is no magic wand with us to speed up the turnaround process. Acquiring planes to regain market share is also a part of the turnaround programme,” he said.
The state-owned carrier, with accumulated losses of Rs12,740 crore in the last two fiscal years, had a market share of 17.7% at October-end in domestic passenger traffic, down from 18.7% in September. Seat occupancy rose to 70.8% in October from 66.7% in September.
Air India’s existing plane acquisition plan, which began in 2007, involves the purchase of 68 aircraft from Boeing and 43 from Airbus. Of these planes, Boeing has delayed the delivery of Boeing 787s, popularly known as Dreamliners, as the launch of the aircraft has missed deadlines. Air India was scheduled to get its first of 27 Dreamliners in September 2008, but this is now set to happen in the second quarter of calendar year 2011.

C'est bien intéressant, des avions neufs autant que possible 5 ans plus 2!
Et pour presque tout de suite, ça va être dur !
Un Tender ouvert sur le net ... W.Wide pour trouver les avions ...
Ca ne doit pas se bousculer !

Et un bien grand plan, pour une cie en bien mauvais état ??
Bien, le Govt est derrière, ça peut garantir la signature, mais pas forcément des payements à l'heure ... ni la récupération rapide des avions en cas de défault !
Va falloir qq solides garanties bancaires, pour s'aventurer !

Pour les commandes par les loueurs, c'est vrai qu'il pourrait en manquer.

Mais ne pas oublier le sale and lease-back qui permet aux lessors de ne pas commander.

Mouais, mais je crois qu'il faut déposer au moins un initial .. et ouvrir formellement une cde ... et ils n'ont pas l'air sur cette voie !
Côté Boeing ils doivent attendre des compensations 787, à suivre aussi !
Et pour un programme 2012, suis même pas sur que les moins chargés ,ATR ou Bombardier y arrivent, mais chez Airbus pour 2012 c'est Nope ... sauf résiliations !

La consolidation pour 2011, ou un peu plus tard !

AIG ne semble toujours pas savoir que faire d'ILFC !

Noter, que de les "Anciennes équipes" bien rodées à ce business, sont capables de lever 2 ou 3 milliards, rien que sur leur nom, et en qq mois quand ils repartent du "Scratch" en fondant une nouvelle cie, juste avec la confiance de qq banques et des inévitables fonds qui les suivent !

Mais encore fragile peut être , le temps que la base s'installe, et que les clients suivent !

ILFC, au tapis et sans avions MC, piloté par H Courpron actuellement, choisit un grosse cde 100/33 entre A320 NEO (2016 et +) et 33 B738 , pour relancer la machine chez AIG !
Une forte tendance P&W pour les NEO !

Air Lease de SUH commande à 50/50 entre A et B pour des 320/737 à court terme !

Sur un fond d'annulations de commandes des Loueurs du golf ! !

Et en attendant que GECAS bouge, pour au moins 50 A320 NEO LeapX!

Intéressant et à suivre, de subtils ré-équilibrages se profilent, la demande sera là, il va falloir fournir !

SUH grand pourfendeur de A320NEO, ne dit (Presque) plus rien en contre ... intéressant, des fois qu'il en ait besoin, il faut bien vivre, et éventuellement convertir, si tout n'est pas loué !
Peut être juste l'avis de ses clients qui voient un peu plus loin que les qq années à venir !
Et un intérêt juste poli pour les projets Boeing (Il sera bien vieux SUH quand le 797 sortira, et il veut aller vite )!

Boeing should develop new family to succeed 737: Udvar-Hazy
By Mary Kirby

Steven Udvar-Hazy, the most influential man in the world of aircraft leasing, believes Boeing should offer a new family of aircraft - including a replacement for the 757 - when it establishes a plan for developing a successor to its highly-successful 737 series.

"All I can tell you is our recommendation to Boeing, and we've bought over 800 new Boeing airplanes, is to build an aircraft family rather than a single sized model and that family hopefully will encompass at the upper end an airplane that could replace the 757," Hazy told journalists on the sidelines of the ISTAT conference in Scottsdale, Arizona yesterday.

A twin-aisle "narrowbody" is also worth considering, as part of such a family. "In all of the studies that we have done and in talking to airlines, you can turn a twin-aisle aircraft faster if you have good passenger access. So the whole idea of a short- to medium-haul aircraft is maximizing utilization and if you can get ten minutes a turn and you do six segments a day you can get an hour more flight utilization," says Hazy.

"Look at the upper end of that market, once you get above 200 seats. How many of you have flown on a 757 when you're in row 39F and how long does it take to get off the airplane if they're loading only through the front. Sometimes it [feels like it] takes longer to get off the airplane then the flight itself. My feeling is that to be a really an effective airplane above 200 seats and a great competitor and have the cargo capacity, which is also an important element in the revenue generation of airplanes, a small twin-aisle has a lot of advantages once you get north of 200 seats."

Boeing expects to decide by mid-year whether to re-engine the 737 or proceed with a clean-sheet design. The airframer "is working very closely with the engine manufacturers to see what is the level of efficiency and fuel consumption improvement from the initial [A320]neo to the time that they would introduce their engine and so that's going to obviously be important because the airframe, they could probably get several percent better efficiency from an all-new airframe, but then you have to combine that with engine efficiency," says Hazy.

He notes that bolstered efficiency "could come in several ways", adding: "That could come, for example, and I'm not telling you what Boeing will do or won't do, but for example a slightly larger fan diameter on the new-generation Boeing airplane versus the [A320]neo could give it a several percent fuel advantage just the way the airplane is designed, whereas the A320 is already an A320. It can't be redesigned for this engine. So Boeing has the advantage of a clean sheet of paper and therefore they can optimize whatever engine or engines they'll put on the next generation airplanes, whereas on an A320, it's mounting an engine to a current-generation airplane."

In Person: Former Boeing sales chief Toby Bright now buys jets

Toby Bright, former sales chief at Boeing, describes what went wrong at the company between 2001 and 2004 and talks about his new life as marketing chief for a startup aircraft-leasing company.

By Dominic Gates




Toby Bright, standing in front of his new Air France 777, used to be the head of sales at Boeing. He now buys planes for Jackson Square Aviation.

Toby Bright FORMER HEAD OF SALES at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, now chief marketing officer with aircraft lessor Jackson Square Aviation.

Selling planes: Working his first customer for Boeing in 1986, he sold 747 jumbo jets worth $3.3 billion at list prices to Singapore Airlines.

Buying planes: Jackson Square today owns 13 Boeing 737s, one Boeing 777 and eight Airbus A320s. The lessor has committed to buy a total 70 airplanes.

Flying planes: Bright owns and pilots three small airplanes: one kept at his cabin on Lopez Island, where he escapes for weekends; a float plane docked in Kenmore; and a Cirrus parked in Renton.
"Flying is still a big part of my life," he said. "Every chance I get."

Source: Toby Bright

Toby Bright's jet-set career selling airplanes for Boeing ended abruptly in December 2004. Forced out as head of sales, he chose to walk away after 28 years at the company.

Now Bright is buying planes instead of selling them, dealing with Airbus as well as Boeing. And he couldn't be happier.

Earlier this month, Bright stood in his $1.8 million high-rise condo on First Avenue. A breathtaking view of Puget Sound before him, his home office tucked into a corner of the luxurious, art-filled living room
behind him, Bright pointed to a 787 Dreamliner on a flight test arcing across his picture window.

"Boeing gave me tremendous opportunities. I have great friends there," he said. "But leaving Boeing was truly one of the best things that has happened in my life."

Bright, now chief marketing officer at the year-old aircraft- leasing company Jackson Square Aviation, recently led a small team of lawyers and executives to conclude a transaction at Boeing's delivery center in
Everett.

Boeing had formally delivered a big 777 passenger jet to Air France that morning. The plane, freshly painted in the airline's red, white and blue livery, was parked just outside at Paine Field.

Now it was Bright's turn. After almost an hour of final phone checks in a small conference room, four Air France representatives stood and shook hands with his team. They had just confirmed that Jackson Square,
which was buying the plane and leasing it back to Air France in an eight-year deal, had transferred an undisclosed sum — based on market data, about $150 million — into the airline's bank account.

Bright beamed as he took the ceremonial keys to the airplane.

"We own our first wide-body," he said.
