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

DUBAI (Reuters) - Qatar Airways a finalement bien placé une commande
auprès d'Airbus représentant sur le papier 6,5 milliards de dollars,

l'encontre d'Airbus, le directeur général de Qatar Akbar Al Baker a
refait une deuxième apparition au salon aéronautique de Dubai pour
annoncer une commande ferme de cinq A380 et de 50 A320neo, plus des
options.

cinq A330-200 supplémentaires, un contrat estimé à plus d'un milliard
de dollars.

renouveler au cours des quatre prochaines années sa flotte
vieillissante de Boeing 767.

Au total, Hawaiian Airlines a commandé 22 A330.

dernier salon du Bourget.

Airbus orders stand at 646 at end of Nov, CEO
Bregier tells us. Net 585. Deliveries 516. Suggests almost 200 sales in
Nov.

São José dos Campos, Brazil, January 24, 2013 – Embraer
and Republic Airways Holdings Inc., operator of the largest E-Jets
fleet in the world, announced today a contract for the sale of 47
EMBRAER 175 jets. The agreement also includes options for an additional
47 aircraft, providing a potential for 94 E175s, which could reach a
total value of approximately USD 4 billion, in 2013 economic conditions,
at list price.

The new aircraft will be operated by Republic
Airlines, a Republic subsidiary, under American Eagle brand in the
American Airlines’ regional network. The deal is subject to court
approval which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2013. The
E175 will be featured in a dual-class layout, seating up to 76
passengers and the first delivery is scheduled for mid-2013.

“It
is significant that our long-time, valued customer Republic Airways – a
true innovator in the regional transport business – is the first
customer for the enhanced E175,” said Paulo Cesar Silva, President &
CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. “It’s a perfect example of how our
investments in product development make our customers more competitive
in their markets. The E175 is the most comfortable, technologically
advanced and efficient aircraft in its class and it represents the best
value for airlines because it also delivers the lowest total operating
cost.”

As the leader in the 70 to 120-seat jet segment, Embraer
continues to invest in the E-Jets family, which is flown by some 60
airlines from 40 countries. The Company has begun implementing a series
of enhancements to the current generation of E-Jets, including new
wingtips, systems optimization and aerodynamic refinements that will
lower fuel burn by up to 5%. Republic will be the first customer to
receive E175 aircraft with these enhancements. Longer maintenance
intervals and component improvements will increase aircraft productivity
and lower maintenance costs.

“We are thrilled that American has
selected Republic and the Embraer E175 to expand their network with
large regional jets,” said Bryan Bedford, Republic Chairman, President
and CEO. “The Embraer E175 is an outstanding aircraft and the interior
design American has selected will provide a world-class, seamless
product for their customers flying on Republic.”

“This is a
significant milestone in our company’s history,” said Chuck Schubert,
American’s Vice President – Network Planning. “Establishing a large
regional jet fleet has long been part of our business plan and this
agreement is another example of how we are executing on that plan in a
way that benefits our business and our customers. We will offer more
flights at the right intervals throughout the day in key markets while
providing more opportunities for customers to travel in the First Class
cabin to key business markets.”

More than 150 E175s are currently
in service with 12 carriers. Because the E175 has no over wing exits
that can restrict seat placement, operators have more flexibility in
configuring the aircraft cabin. The E175's 2,000 nm (3,706 km) range,
short field performance and superior hot and high capability make the
airplane ideal for the North American network.

Republic Airways
was the first US carrier to fly Embraer E-Jets. It acquired E170s in
2004 and still operates those aircraft today on behalf of United
Express. With this new order, the Republic Airways E-Jet fleet will be
comprised of 72 E170s and 107 E175s for a total of 179 E-Jets (226 if
all options are exercised). Republic Airways is also a long-time
customer of the ERJ 145 regional jet family with 70 flying on contracts
with several US regional carriers.
