Le Bourget 2015: ordini e MOU


Korean Air to order up to 50 A321neo



Korean Air has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus to acquire up to 50 A321neo aircraft, becoming a new customer for the best-selling single aisle A320 Family. The agreement, covering 30 aircraft plus 20 options, was announced today at the Paris Air Show by Korean Air Group Chairman Cho Yang Ho and Airbus President and CEO Fabrice Brégier. Korean Air will operate the A321neo with a two class full service layout on regional services, including on longer sectors to selected destinations in South East Asia. The aircraft will be fitted with premium amenities, including wider seats in both classes and the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.

“After an extensive technical evaluation we are pleased to announce that Korean Air will introduce Airbus single aisle aircraft for the first time,” said Cho Yang Ho, Chairman of Korean Air Group. “The A321neo will bring new levels of efficiency, longer flying range and greater in-flight comfort to our single aisle fleet, as well as reduced impact on the environment. Today’s decision is part of our ongoing commitment at Korean Air to offer true excellence in flight wherever we fly.”

“This agreement marks another milestone in the long-standing relationship between Korean Air and Airbus,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President & CEO. “It’s also a very significant endorsement of the advantages offered by the A321neo at the top end of the single aisle market. We look forward to seeing the A321neo take to the skies in the colours of Korean Air, flying alongside the airline’s existing Airbus widebody fleet.”

Korean Air is Airbus’ longest-standing customer from outside Europe and placed its first order with the manufacturer in 1974. Since that time Airbus widebody aircraft have formed a major part of the Korean Air fleet. Today, the double deck A380 is the flagship of the airline’s long haul fleet, while mid-size A330 is operated by the airline on services across the Asia-Pacific region, as well as on selected routes to Europe.

The A321 is the largest member of the best-selling single aisle A320 Family. To date, the A320 Family has won more than 11,700 orders and over 6,500 aircraft delivered to more than 300 operators worldwide. Incorporating new engines and the latest technologies, the A320neo Family will bring a step-change reduction in fuel consumption of over 15 per cent, longer range capability and reduced maintenance costs, as well significantly reduced carbon emissions.

Since its launch in 2010 the A320neo Family has won almost 60 per cent of all new orders for single aisle aircraft with over 100 seats and has been selected by over 70 airlines worldwide.

The lessor had signed for the Airbus A320neo at last year's Farnborough air show.Another lessor which had ordered heavily at Farnborough, SMBC Aviation Capital, came back for more, adding a further 10 737 Max 8s to the 80 it already had on order.Boeing also secured 60 aircraft commitments from China. Ruili Airlines committed to purchase 30 737 Max jets with financial support from AVIC International Leasing, the airframer confirms.

This mirrored the carrier's agreement with Airbus, announced half an hour earlier, for 30 A321neos. In both cases, it took options on a further 20 aircraft.Taiwan's Eva Air, which signed a letter of intent with Boeing to buy five 777 Freighters yesterday, signed a preliminary agreement to purchase four additional A330s.Earlier, Peach signed up for three A320s – the Japanese budget carrier's first directly purchased aircraft.The busy order activity from Boeing today means it holds larger share of order commitments after two days of the show, accounting for 323 of the 526 in total. This largely stems from Boeing's bigger share of narrowbody announcements so far, with the airframers roughly matched on widebody deals.

In sintesi, queste sono - a mio parere - le notizie più importanti dell'airshow.

Airbus:
- Lancio dell'A330R con l'ordine di 20 macchine da parte di Saudia.
- LOI di Garuda per 30 A350neo: come per il 787, vista la penuria di slot di consegna, ogni commitment è una bella vittoria. In caso di conferma dell'ordine, sarebbe un bel risultato per Airbus.

Boeing:
- Cancellazione da parte di Aeroflot dell'ordine per 22 787. Forse inevitabile vista la situazione politica ed economica della Russia attuale: fra Airbus 350 e Boeing 787 uno degli ordini doveva saltare, e per ora sembra essere andata bene ad Airbus. Sarà interessante vedere a chi andranno gli slot di consegna riservati ad Aeroflot.
- LOI di Volga Dnepr per 20 747-8F: se dovesse davvero tramutarsi in ordine, sarebbe una notizia importantissima per Boeing.
- LOI di Garuda per 30 787-9: con la penuria di slot del programma, qualsiasi ordine suona grosso come una casa. Sarà confermato?
- Aercap ordina 100 737MAX: è l'ordine più grande di NB a questo airshow.
- Conferma che i rimanenti esemplari di 787 di prima produzione (i terrible teens) andranno a Ethiopian: Boeing risolve così un problema non da poco.
 
Grazie Ken.
Tra le curiosità, credo vada citato il numero di ordini fermi relativi a WB: 43. Davvero pochi.
 
Per ora nessun ordine dei tanto attesi CS... Mentre si può dire che i 737MAX come i 320NEO si confermano come sovrani... Altro dato interessante e che fa riflettere è l'origine geografica degli ordini: quasi il 70% dall'Asia.
