Consegne e notizie sugli A380


Emirates will deploy an A380 on its Dubai to Perth route in March, it has been reported.
The Gulf carrier is planning to replace one of the three-daily B777 aircraft that currently operates the route with a superjumbo.
It has slots approved and is set to introduce the A380 on March 1, according tothewest.com.au.
The service is scheduled to arrive in Perth at 1725, while the return flight will depart the city for Dubai at 2230.
Last week, it emerged that Emirates will add a second daily A380 onto its Dubai-Munich route from March
 
Intanto EK inizia a fare pressing per una rimotorizzazione che abbatta i consumi del 10%. Sul piano tecnico non farebbe una grinza, ma bisognerà vedere se Airbus troverà conveniente fare un simile investimento per un aereo che fa numeri così ridotti.

Emirates Challenges Engine Makers On Advanced A380

By Guy Norris guy.norris@aviationweek.com, Jens Flottau jens.flottau@aviationweek.com

The Engine Alliance and Rolls-Royce are studying new or modified propulsion options for the Airbus A380 after calls for longer-term improvements in fuel burn by Emirates Airlines, the biggest operator of the aircraft.
The airline has targeted a 10% fuel burn improvement, possibly to be introduced with at least some of the 50 A380s ordered by Emirates at this week’s Dubai air show. Speaking to Aviation Week, Emirates president Tim Clark says “the 380 needs to get the benefit of what is going on in the mid-sized fans and the twins. To leave the 380 in the position where it isn’t [improved] doesn’t make any sense.” Although the General Electric-Pratt & Whitney Engine Alliance GP7200 has been selected for the first 90 Emirates A380s, the airline plans to compete the additional 50, the first of which is currently expected to be delivered around 2016.
Although both Rolls and the Engine Alliance have improved the fuel burn of the current A380 engines over time, Clark says a more radical improvement would boost the operating economics of the aircraft into the future, keeping it competitive with the new generation of large twins. He believes the engine makers could pick and choose from a raft of technology either developed or still in works for the 787, 747-8, 777X and A350 families over the past decade. The A380 “came to market in 2004-2005. A lot has changed,” he says. Referring to the General Electric GE9X in initial development for the 777X and the Rolls Trent XWB under test for the A350, Clark says options could include “a smaller version of the 9X. It could be a smaller version of the Trent.”
Rolls says “it continues to study all options and is constantly working with Airbus” on prospective engine solutions. However program sources indicate a variety of options are under evaluation ranging from scaled ‘light’ derivatives of the Trent XWB, to an adapted variant of the Trent 1000TEN in early development for the Boeing 787-10. The manufacturer is also believed to be reviewing designs based on the RB.3025, an all-new engine configuration which lost out to the GE9X in the contest to power the newly-launched 777X.
“Tim Clark has made statements and he’d like to see a new engine and performance improvements,” says Engine Alliance President Dean Athans. “We’re working with our engineering team and we’ve asked them to put together a whole suite ranging from little things to longer term, more substantive changes to create a whole option list of things we could do to the engine. We have to evaluate what options make sense and what doesn’t. Next year we will take a good look at that and study the options.” The study ranges from software changes and minor component modifications to an all-new centerline engine, and will consider trade-offs such as timing, cost, the needs of the industry and the need of the fleets. “I wouldn’t take anything off the table,” he says.

beh tanto ridotti non direi
la eventuale rimotorizzazione qui oltre ad avere di sicuro basi tecniche, ne ha altre sostanzialmente finanziarie, non solo per quanto riguarda i direct op cost, ma soprattutto per differenziare e ridurre l'impatto dei costi finanziari (leasing)sui motori che per macchine di 30-35 di vita hanno un gran peso al momento
di solito i brillanti annunci di risparmi fatti dagli engine makers vengono puntualmente ridimensionati nel tempo, geared turbofan compresi

Probabilmente una eventuale rimotorizzazione non sarebbe disponibile prima del 2018, tant'è che lo stesso Clark ne auspica l'adozione su almeno una parte delle 50 macchine appena ordinate. Non mi pare ci siano chissà quanti A380 in ordine con consegne successive a quella data. E dopo l'ultima infornata di ordini (inclusi i 20 di Doric), non credo siano imminenti altre commesse di similare portata.
Probabilmente per avere nuovi motori sul 380 dovremo aspettare una decina d'anni, quando inizierà a farsi sentire in maniera consistente l'esigenza del rinnovo delle flotte, anche se imho, ben difficilmente sarà nel rapporto di 1a1 con quella attuale. Specie se il 779 manterrà le promesse.
 
Special Air France flight by Airbus A380 to Cancun (Mexico)


Today, 27 November 2013, Air France is operating a special flight from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Cancun by Airbus A380 for the first time. This exceptional flight illustrates Air France’s ambitions on this rapidly developing market.

On this occasion, Patrick Alexandre, EVP Commercial, Sales and Marketing at Air France-KLM declared: “35 years after the Concorde landed in Mexico City, this special flight by A380 to Cancun illustrates the importance of Mexico and Latin America for Air France-KLM. This unique event reflects the Group's desire to continue to innovate and surprise our customers. It is also a testimony of our trust in the Mexican authorities.”

The Ambassador for Mexico in France, Agustín García-López Loaeza, added: “France and Mexico are linked more than ever before and Air France is one of the protagonists. On 28 April 1952, Captain Moreau flew 34 passengers from France to Mexico City in 22 hours and with three stopovers. Today, for the first time in Latin America, in a symbolic way, Air France’s avant-garde A380 has multiplied by more than 10 the number of passengers in half the time. The air link established between France and Mexico is today stronger than it has ever been. We are striving - and Air France is the proof - to revive and strengthen the historical ties between Mexico and France.”

The 16 hour 20 minute flight from Dubai crossed Russia, the North Pole and Canada before finally landing in the US city.
Hubert Frach, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, commercial operations west, said: “Bringing the glamorous A380 set of wings to the City of Angels seemed like a natural fit as this aircraft mirrors the luxury of the Hollywood lifestyle.”
The service is the 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] run by the airline to feature the A380 and will now run on a daily basis.
The aircraft offers 14 first class private suites, 76 flatbeds in business class and 399 seats in economy as well as shower spas and an onboard lounge bar.

Il primo Airbus A380 di Skymark Airlines entra nella linea di assemblaggio finale a Tolosa
Il piano di coda verticale (VTP) del primo Airbus A380 destinato a Skymark Airlines ha completato la fase di verniciatura con il logo del vettore giapponese presso gli stabilimenti di Airbus di Amburgo ed è stato successivamente trasportato a Tolosa dal Beluga dove è entrato nella linea di assemblaggio finale. Con questa fase l’aeromobile si avvia al suo completamento e alla successiva consegna a Skymark Airlines nel corso dell’anno Skymark Airlines, il terzo maggiore vettore del Giappone, in rapida crescita, ha siglato con Airbus ordini fermi per 6 A380, diventando così la prima compagnia aerea giapponese a offrire ai propri passeggeri l’indimenticabile esperienza di volo a bordo dell’A380. Skymark prevede di operare i propri A380 sulle principali rotte internazionali, collegando in particolare Narita agli Stati Uniti.
