Commandes fermes, LoI et MoU d'avions (01/2009 - 12/2012)

Admin a écrit:Le bilan de la journée chez China Eastern


Donc 15 A330 pour remplacer une partie des 787 annulé à livrer au plus vite à partir de 2013. Annulation de 5 A340-300 en commande ? Ce point reste à éclaircir, à priori China Eastern n'a plus d'A340-300 en commande, mais en a 5 en flottr qu'airbus va probablement racheter... coup d'envoir pour l'A340-300 P2F ?
Ca drevrait être du trent700 sauf si pression de Ge qui était embarqué sur les 787.

Et 45 737 à livrer à partir de 2014

Speaking to the SAE Aerospace Conference in Toulouse, Enders suggests that perhaps the thinking about platforms needs to change more fully. Perhaps the “the traditional approach of launching a series of completely new aircraft one after the other” needs to be replaced with one that involves “an upgradable platform approach, an approach where we could rapidly and significantly evolve our products as new technology matures and comes on line,” Enders muses.

This type of spiral development, he argues, is already occurring on the military side.

“What about simple, robust solutions that would give us plug and play planes that could evolve much more quickly in line with customer demands?,” Ender asks. “If we were able to just accelerate bringing in new cabin features, that would already be quite some progress for our customers.”

Chinese leasing company ICBC Leasing has inked an order for 45 Comac C919 narrowbodies and agreed to become the launch customer for the aircraft.

This is the largest order for the aircraft, which is being developed in China as a possible competitor to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 family of aircraft.

Neither ICBC Leasing nor Comac revealed the financial details of the order.

"As launch customer, ICBC Leasing will actively participate in projects related to C919 research and development, and aircraft design," said Comac in a statement.

Jiang Jianqing, chairman of ICBC Leasing's parent company, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, said that his company's order reflected its support of the development of China's aviation industry.

"This signing is bound to promote the smooth implementation of China's large aircraft project, the national aviation industry, the development of the leasing industry which has a very important role," he added.

It gives Comac 145 firm orders for the aircraft, almost all from Chinese airlines and leasing companies.

The C919 is scheduled to make its first flight in 2014 and receive its certification in 2016, but that is widely expected by industry sources to be delayed.

CFM International's Leap-X1C will be the sole powerplant to launch the C919. Several other western suppliers have also come on board as suppliers of various key components of the aircraft.

Surtout quand on sait que les tp sont rarement utilisé au dessus de 500 nm.

SAO PAULO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Embraer SA , the world's third-largest commercial planemaker, and Brazilian airline Azul Linhas Aereas signed an order for 11 jets worth $497.5 million, the manufacturer said on Wednesday.

The 118-seat Embraer 195 aircraft are expected for delivery beginning in 2013, Sao Jose de Campos, Brazil-based Embraer said in a statement.

Azul, owned by JetBlue founder David Neeleman, has now ordered a total of 52 Embraer regional jets, enough to make its fleet of the regional E-jets the largest in South America.

Separately, an Embraer spokesman said on Wednesday that JetBlue, which Neeleman left in 2008, canceled an order for 11 of the planemaker's 106-seat Embraer 190 jets.

Embraer Chief Executive Frederico Curado told Reuters in an interview in June that he saw a risk of JetBlue backing out of the contract, as the airline was revising its fleet plans.

ransaero Airlines (UN), Russia’s second-largest carrier, is expected to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Airbus Friday for A380s, ATW learned from a well-placed source. If the MOU is signed, it would make UN the first carrier in Russia and the CIS to order the A380. Deliveries are expected to start no earlier than 2015.

UN could not be reached for comment, but in August CEO Olga Pleshakova revealed the company was analyzing possible orders for the A380 and/or the Boeing 747-8 (ATW Daily News, Aug. 19).

The A380s/747-8s would be used to replace older 747s and expand the carrier's fleet from 2015 onward, Pleshakova said. She noted the final decision will “be based upon deep research of commercial offers, the Russian aviation market situation and airport infrastructure development.”

According to Russian media, Moscow Domodedovo (DME) airport is analyzing the installation of double-deck passenger boarding bridges for A380 use. UN would deploy the A380 from DME, but reportedly Emirates has also indicated interest in operating the A380 to DME.

In August, UN signed an MOU with Airbus to buy eight A320neos plus options on an additional four, making it the first A320neo customer in Russia, the CIS and Eastern Europe (ATW Daily News, Aug. 17).

Privately held UN is historically a loyal Boeing customer and operates 70 aircraft, comprising 19 747s, eight 777s, 13 767s, 27 737s and three Tupolev Tu-214s. It operated an Airbus A310 from 2000-2002. It is the largest operator of widebodies in Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe.
