Rumeurs de commandes

plan to buy 100 Airbus aircraft will be submitted to the board of Asia's largest budget carrier, AirAsia Bhd (AIRA.KL), in about two weeks, the airline's CEO, Tony Fernandes, said on Friday, in a deal that could be worth $9 billion.

Reuters reported earlier this month that AirAsia was putting the final touches on the deal, ending a flirtation with Canada's Bombardier (BBDb.TO). Fernandes said the order will involve a mix of aircraft and not just Airbus A320s.

"I'll be submitting it to the board in two weeks," Fernandes told Singapore's Foreign Correspondents Association.

AirAsia, with an operating fleet of more than 100 aircraft, has ordered a total of 375 Airbus jets as part of dramatic expansion plans that now include the acquisition of Indonesia's Batavia Air. It has said it will accelerate deliveries as rising demand helps it offset high fuel costs.

Turning to India, which last week said it will allow foreign carriers to take stakes of up to 49 percent in Indian airlines, Fernandes said he had no immediate plans to enter the market because he thought the aviation fuel tax and airport charges were still too high.

Indian newspapers had speculated AirAsia could be the first overseas carrier to take advantage of the new rules.

ASIAN BANKS, AIRASIAX IPO

Fernandes, who owns Formula One team Caterham, said he is in Singapore to interest Asian bankers in financing aviation deals that historically have been dominated by European lenders. The F1 race in Singapore had attracted financiers from around the region, he said.

"We're trying to get Asian banks interested. I think by introducing Asian bankers to the aviation market, costs will reduce. Asian banks have much more liquidity than European banks," he said.

He said another source of funding for the aviation industry could come from wealthy individuals who are searching for yield products and would be interested in putting money into aviation trusts that would buy aircraft and lease them to airlines.

"Cost, cost, cost. That's my focus over the next few months," Fernandes had said in a Tweet earlier on Friday.

He added that the public listing of his long-haul budget carrier, AirAsiaX, was progressing and appeared imminent, although he would leave the final decision to management.

"I reckon it will be in December," he said, without indicating how much the IPO could be worth. Earlier reports this year said the IPO could be worth $250 million.

Lion Air a fait savoir mardi qu'il pourrait commander encore
davantage d'avions pour rester en phase avec la croissance du marché du
transport aérien dans l'Asie du Sud-Est, réagissant ainsi à une
affirmation d'un analyste disant que la compagnie indonésienne allait
bientôt commander une centaine d'Airbus.
Rusdi Kirana, co-fondateur et
directeur général de Lion Air, a dit que la croissance à deux chiffres
de la demande de transport aérien dans l'Asie du Sud-Est, qui s'explique
par la bonne tenue de l'activité économique et une hausse des revenus,
allait se poursuivre.

"Nous pensons que, au cours de la
prochaine décennie, nous allons avoir besoin de beaucoup d'avions. Le
marché croît très vite (...) nous discutons mais nous n'avons pas encore
pris de décision (au sujet de nouvelles commandes)", a-t-il dit à
Reuters par téléphone.

Selon Scott Hamilton, analyste
américain spécialisé dans l'aéronautique, Lion Air est sur le point de
passer commande pour 100 Airbus alors que la compagnie s'est jusqu'à
présent essentiellement équipée en Boeing.

Si cette commande devait porter sur
A320, elle représenterait, sur la base de prix catalogue purement
indicatifs, quelque neuf milliards de dollars.

Airbus n'était pas immédiatement disponible pour faire un commentaire.

Et je me demande où vont se retrouver les "Légacy" Europe et Easy Jet aussi ... avec leurs MC à renouveler ...
Chez Bombardier peut être ??

-------------- De Reuters, Alwyn Scott, un large extrait ------------------

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/27/emirates-boeing-idUSL1E8KRIQD20120927
(Reuters) - Confirming growing demand for the
world's largest airliner, a top executive of Emirates Airline
said on Thursday the company would be willing to buy
another 40 Airbus A380 jets, but that the fast-growing Dubai
airport where the airline is based is short of room for them.
Emirates Airline President Tim Clark had already said the
airline wants another 30 A380s, on top of 90 already on order.
Increasing that number to 40 suggests demand is rising for the
A380 made by the Airbus unit of Europe's EADS.
Emirates, by far the largest customer for the A380, whose
list price is $390 million, had 23 of the superjumbo jets in
service at the end of August.
Clark,
speaking at an industry conference in Seattle, said there are seven
A380s waiting in Hamburg, Germany, for delivery as part of the normal
deliver schedule. He is not worried about his airline's strong growth
being affected by recession in Europe, slowing growth in China and unrest in the Middle East. Dubai, he said, "is a honey pot. There is no place better, except maybe China."

"Our refleeting program right now is close to $10 billion," Ang said. "We exercised our option to buy 10-wide bodied jets (from Airbus) two weeks ago", he said, referring to the new purchases.
