Airbus to raise A320 Family production to 46 a month by Q2 2016


Airbus has decided to increase production of its best-selling single-aisle aircraft family to 46 a month in Q2 2016, up from the current rate 42. The new higher production rate will be achieved gradually, with an intermediate step at 44 aircraft per month in Q1 2016.

“Based on the healthy market outlook for our best-selling A320 Family and following a comprehensive assessment of our supply chain’s readiness to ramp-up, we are ready to go to rate 46 by Q2 2016,” said Tom Williams, Executive Vice President Programmes. “With a record backlog of over 4,200 A320 Family aircraft and the growing success of the NEO, we have a solid case to increase our monthly output to satisfy our customers’ requirement for more of our fuel efficient aircraft.”

Over the past five years, Airbus has steadily increased A320 Family production, going from rate 36 at the end of 2010 to rate 38 in August 2011, then up to rate 40 in Q1 2012 to reach 42 per month in Q4 of the same year.

With over 10,200 Airbus single aisle aircraft sold and more than 5,900 delivered to nearly 400 customers and operators, the A320 Family, which includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, is the world’s best-selling and most modern single aisle aircraft

La cinese Shandong Airlines ha ordinato 34 737 MAX e 16 738:

China's Shandong Airlines orders 50 Boeing planes worth US$4.6b

BEIJING: Shandong Airlines, one of China's smaller carriers, said it has agreed to buy 50 passenger planes from US manufacturer Boeing for US$4.6 billion, in another sign of the country's growing demand for air travel.
The company signed a deal on Monday to purchase 16 Boeing 737-800s and 34 Boeing 737 MAX planes, a statement said, in a drive to grow its fleet for future business expansion.
China's commercial airline industry is dominated by the "Big Three" -- flag carrier Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines -- but a move towards greater competition has seen the growth of smaller players.
The order represents a win for Boeing in the giant Chinese market and a vote of confidence in its newest family of single-aisle planes, the 737 MAX, which promises greater fuel efficiency.
The manufacturer will begin deliveries of the 737 MAX to global customers beginning in 2017, according to Boeing's website.
Boeing could not be reached to confirm the order, but it typically allows the customer to make the announcement.
Shandong Airlines aims to increase its fleet to more than 140 aircraft by the end of 2020, roughly doubling its total stock of planes, China's official Xinhua news agency late Monday quoted an airline official as saying.
It already operates 67 Boeing 737 planes, Xinhua said.
The airline, based in the eastern province of Shandong, will receive the aircraft in batches between 2016 and 2020, the statement said.
Shandong Airlines, established in 1994, is controlled by the Shandong Aviation Group which is backed by several government shareholders including Air China and the Shandong Economic Development and Investment Co.
Stock investors cheered the plane order. Shandong Airlines, which is listed on China's Shenzhen stock exchange, was up 3.54 per cent by midday on Tuesday.
Fierce rivals Boeing and European consortium Airbus have locked horns in a battle for lucrative orders in China, which is seeing a rapidly expanding domestic airline sector.
While slow growth in Western economies is hitting the aviation industry, Asian countries are booming with an emerging middle class keen to take to the air.
The Asia-Pacific region will require almost 13,000 new airplanes worth US$1.9 trillion over the next 20 years, Boeing said earlier this year.
At Asia's premier air show in February, organisers announced a record high of more than US$32 billion in deals as Asian carriers ordered more aircraft to meet the explosive demand for cheap, short-range travel.
Airbus accounted for nearly half of that total at the Singapore Airshow, with almost US$15 billion worth of orders for its popular A320 single-aisle plane and flagship A380 superjumbo.
Boeing said last year that it expects China's commercial aircraft fleet to triple in size over the next two decades as the country's strong economic growth boosts air traffic.
China will need 5,580 new airplanes worth US$780 billion by 2032, it said.
In September last year it finalised an order with China's Xiamen Airlines of six Boeing 787 Dreamliners, worth about US$1.3 billion at list prices.
And in March last year it signed a deal with Air China for 31 passenger and cargo planes, a deal worth US$5.2 billion at Boeing list prices at the time.

Air New Zealand ha ordinato 10 A320neo e 3 A321neo (oltre ad un extra 320ceo)

Air New Zealand selects A320neo Family to modernise single aisle fleet

A321neo and A320neo maximises flexibility, efficiency and range

Following Air New Zealand’s 2009 order for A320 Family aircraft, the airline has selected the added efficiency and performance of the NEO with an order for three A321neo, 10 A320neo and one additional A320ceo aircraft. The agreement marks the first time Air New Zealand has ordered the larger A321 aircraft and the NEO. Engine selection and cabin configuration will be made at a later date.

The A321 is the largest member of the A320 Family offering the best seat mile costs of any single aisle. The A320 Family fuselage is seven inches wider than competing aircraft and with a cargo hold designed for industry standard containers and pallets.

Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Christopher Luxon says the purchase confirms the airline’s intention to have an Airbus narrow body fleet. “Operating one narrow body aircraft type will bring important efficiencies in training, maintenance and operating costs. The new Airbus NEO will help ensure we continue to operate one of the world’s youngest jet fleets and will further drive fuel efficiency allowing us to minimise our carbon footprint.”

China Aircraft Leasing Company firms up order for 100 A320 Family

Major endorsement for Airbus single-aisles in world’s leading growth region

China Aircraft Leasing Company (CALC), the leading independent aircraft operating lessor in China, firmed up its contract in December 2014 with Airbus for 100 A320 Family aircraft. The order comprises 74 A320neo, 16 A320ceo and 10 A321ceo. Including this new order, CALC’s total backlog with Airbus stands at 140 A320 Family aircraft.

“Adding these A320 Family aircraft, including the latest generation A320neo to our portfolio, means we can fully meet all our customers’ requirements in terms of low fuel burn, high reliability and unbeatable comfort,” said Dr Mike Poon, CEO and Executive Director of CALC. “The A320 Family is without a doubt firmly established as a key asset in our fleet and the cornerstone of our single-aisle offering.”

“We are delighted to see CALC, a leading lessor based in the world’s leading growth market, come back for more of our popular A320 Family aircraft and we welcome them as a new customer for the A320neo,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “This landmark order with CALC demonstrates the continuing strong market demand, in the short, medium and longer term for the current and new generation Airbus single-aisle Family.”

The A320neo “new engine option” incorporates many innovations, including latest generation engines and large Sharklet wing-tip devices, which together deliver 15 percent in fuel savings from day one and 20 per cent by 2020 which is equivalent to a reduction of 5,000 tonnes of CO2 per aircraft per year.

Anche secondo me è molto bello. Fra le due "riedizioni" preferisco sicuramente questa a quella del 320, che anonimo è nato e anonimo continua ad essere.
 
Okay Airways commits to 20 Boeing 737s

Beijing-headquartered Okay Airways is set to become the Chinese launch customer for the Boeing 737 MAX 9, after committing to take 12 737 family aircraft and eight options, valued at $1.3 billion at list prices.
The agreement, which was announced at the Singapore Airshow Wednesday, covers eight MAX 8s, three MAX 9s and one 737-900ER. The deal remains subject to Chinese government approval before it can be logged as a firm order.

They have made Okay Airways profitable for many years,” Okay Airways CEO Wang Shusheng told media at the air show. “We have committed to 20 aircraft and I am sure these are going to be a great asset, supporting Okay Airways future development.”
The new aircraft will be used for fleet modernization. Okay operates 14 737-800s, three 737-900ERs and one Boeing 737-300 freighter, which serve more than 100 domestic and international routes.
Privately owned Okay is planning to add Beijing as its seventh operating base, growing to eight by 2020.
“Through Okay Airways’ long-term strategic partnership with Boeing, we are very confident that we will become the best privately-owned airline in China,” the airline’s CEO said.
