Lufthansa orders 41 new aircraft
Lufthansa invests in the future/ Supervisory Board approves ongoing modernisation and expansion of Group’s aircraft fleets

19.09.07
The Lufthansa Supervisory Board has approved at today’s meeting orders for 41 aircraft. 30 of the new aircraft from the A320 family are destined for service with Lufthansa in European traffic. Nine others of the Airbus 330-300 long-range type and two continental Airbus A320s will be joining the SWISS fleet.

Wolfgang Mayrhuber, Lufthansa Chairman and CEO said: “Our strong brand, our strong team and strong cashflow are making investments today into perspectives for tomorrow. That is good for our shareholders, customers, staff and system partners.” Successively from 2011, the Lufthansa fleet will be expanded and renewed with 30 short and mediumhaul aircraft. Of the total, 20 of the aircraft are Airbus A321s, four are Airbus A320s and six Airbus A319 jets. Mayrhuber emphasised: “We are modernising our continental fleet with the new aircraft and expanding our leading position in our European home market.“

“For SWISS, this investment is the reward for the successful turnaround, for courageous strategic measures, for an excellent performance by the team and successful integration in the Lufthansa fold. With the aircraft orders, the SWISS airline is underscoring its capability to compete“, Mayrhuber observed. The new Airbus A330-300s will replace the existing Airbus A330-200 aircraft in the SWISS fleet – deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2009; the two Airbus A320s destined for SWISS will be joining the fleet from 2011.

The aircraft on order are noted for their high fuel efficiency as well as low-emission and noise levels. They will ensure that Lufthansa and SWISS continue their environment and climate-friendly growth. For the renewal and planned capacity expansion of the existing Group fleet, numbering around 500 aircraft, Lufthansa now has approximately 170 new aircraft, valued at over 14 billion euros (list price), on order.

Interessante. Quindi per Swiss i 9 A333 andranno a sostituire gli 11 A332?
Se si sarà interessante vedere a chi andranno i 332 che sul mercato sono molto richiesti...
 
Tra l'altro, ma mi pare sia stato già ricordato, hanno avviato il programma per il ptv su tutti i posti nei lungo raggio.
Devo dire che era l'unica nota stonata di LH, sistemata la quale farà un ulteriore balzo in avanti nel già alto ranking.

Non capisco la risposta, ce ne sono circa 60 anche tra 321 e AB6 ...

Il senso è che il 733 lo puoi rimpiazzare con il 319 (+3) o con il 320 se hai bisogno di più capacità; l'AB6 non ha ancora un rimpiazzo diretto, e il suo unico sostituto al momento è il 321+aumento di frequenze (o usare i 332 che Swiss dismetterà, riconfigurati, ma mi pare molto improbabile).

Al momento i 733 volano per lo più da FRA verso altri hub (AMS, MXP) o verso destinazioni che hanno un mix di aerei che spazia dall'Avro al 320, e niente di più grosso in modo sistematico (per esempio BLQ, OTP, EDI, LYS), e da DUS. Mi pare altamente improbabile che queste destinazioni ricevano un upgrade sistematico di 60 posti a volo per buona parte dei voli giornalieri (sono tutte destinazioni che hanno almeno 4 voli al giorno, in pratica vorrebbe dire che per ogni volo con 733 si aggiungerebbe un volo con CR2!). Trovo invece più probabile che i 321 vadano a rimpiazzare le operazioni degli AB6, incrementando le frequenze, e possibilmente a sostituire alcuni voli a medio-raggio (CIS, Nord Africa) o upgradare qualche volo con 320. Su MUC ci potrebbe essere qualche incremento di capacità, ma dai 320 ;)

SWISS to invest well over CHF 1 billion in fleet renewal activities

SWISS is to invest substantially more than CHF 1 billion in renewing its intercontinental aircraft fleet, replacing nine Airbus A330-200s with bigger and more advanced A330-300s. With the service entry of the new aircraft, SWISS will provide First Class cabins throughout its long-haul fleet. It will also be the only airline in the world to offer First Class to all its long-haul destinations, further cementing its position as a top quality airline. With the Airbus A330-300s accommodating more seats than the aircraft they replace, the fleet renewal will also increase SWISS’s long-haul seating capacity. SWISS can thus benefit from the present market growth while simultaneously achieving a 13-per-cent reduction in the specific CO2 emissions of its A330 fleet. SWISS will also be adding four more Airbus A320 aircraft to its European operations over the next few years.

SWISS is investing substantially more than CHF 1 billion in its long-haul aircraft fleet, replacing nine of its eleven Airbus A330-200 aircraft with new A330-300s. The resulting capacity increase will allow SWISS to secure its share of the projected market growth. The additional seats also enable the company to further reduce its costs per seat and thereby sharpen its competitive edge. “SWISS is investing in modernising and enlarging its fleet,” says CEO Christoph Franz. “And it’s our improved profitability that has given us this scope to ensure that we remain wholly competitive in the longer term. SWISS is growing steadily and sustainably.” Lufthansa is also supporting SWISS in its forward-looking strategy, which will further strengthen the role and position of the Zurich hub.

By purchasing the nine new aircraft, SWISS will also substantially increase the proportion of owned aircraft in its long-haul fleet. The new transports will also enable the company to reduce the specific CO2 emissions of its Airbus A330 contingent by a further 13 per cent. The SWISS fleet already consumes only 3.8 litres of fuel per 100 passenger-kilometres, a 16-per-cent reduction on the 4.5 litres of five years ago.

First Class to all intercontinental destinations
After replacing its Airbus A330-200s with the larger A330-300, SWISS will feature First Class cabins throughout its long-haul fleet. The investment will thus make SWISS the only airline in the world to offer First Class to all its intercontinental destinations, further enhancing its credentials as a top quality airline.

SWISS’s Airbus A330-200s will be gradually and seamlessly phased out in favour of the more advanced A330-300s. The first four A330-300s will enter service in 2009, with the remaining five following in 2010 and 2011. Two of the present eleven-member A330-200 fleet will be replaced next year with the previously-announced arrival of two further Airbus A340s, which will also be equipped with First Class cabins.

An expanded European fleet
SWISS will also take delivery of two more Airbus A320s for its European fleet at the beginning of next year. And the company is purchasing two new A320s for delivery in 2011 and 2012. The four additional A320s will enable SWISS to benefit from the present growth in the European air transport market and to further expand its network in response to demand.

The above capacity increases will also provide more jobs at SWISS: a further 165 positions will be created in the company’s flying corps alone.

"Toulouse, 20 September 2007</u>

Lufthansa German Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines have signed a contract with Airbus for nine A330-300s and 32 A320 family aircraft. Of the 32 Airbus A320 family aircraft, 30 (six A319s, four A320s and 20 A321s) will allow Lufthansa to further modernise its fleet and expand its network, while nine A330s and two A320s are to be operated by Zurich-based Swiss International Air Lines. Swiss is fully owned by the Lufthansa Group.

“We are already benefiting from the exceptional reliability, efficiency and passenger appeal of the A330, as we have ten A330-300s in our fleet,” says Nico Buchholz, Lufthansa‘ s Head of Corporate Fleet Management. “The same applies to the A320 family. Both aircraft deliver excellent environmental performance, too.”

The A320 family aircraft will be used to reinforce and expand Lufthansa‘s extensive network in continental traffic, currently encompassing more than 6200 weekly frequencies to 116 destinations in 37 countries. Thanks to the lowest seat-mile costs ever in their respective market segment, the A320 family will enable the German flag-carrier to offer more new services combined with high-end passenger comfort levels.

The nine A330-300s to be operated by Swiss will allow the carrier to increase network capacity and to replace its fleet of A330-200s. The cabin will be fitted with a comfortable three-class layout. The additional A320s will provide growth on Swiss European networks.

“We are very pleased to introduce the popular and more efficient A330-300 into our fleet. The aircraft will enhance our fleet as part of our long-haul strategy and also in terms of passenger comfort, economy and style. They will join our A330/A340 fleet seamlessly, providing additional capacity in our inter-continental network. Additionally they will also emit approximately 13 percent less CO2 per passenger carried”, said Christoph Franz, CEO of Swiss.

“We are proud that Lufthansa, one of the most successful airlines in the world has again chosen Airbus aircraft. We are equally pleased that Swiss International Air Lines has selected the A330-300, and is adding A320s to its fleet,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. “All aircraft are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art fly-by-wire-technology, so both Lufthansa and Swiss will benefit from full operational flexibility thanks to the Airbus family concept. We are confident that these most fuel efficient and modern aircraft will contribute to their success.”

Lufthansa is one of the longest standing and largest Airbus customers worldwide. Currently Lufthansa has 151 Airbus aircraft in its mainline fleet. These include 14 A300-600s, ten A330s, 45 A340s plus 82 A320 family aircraft. To date, the Lufthansa Group has 15 A380s, 14 A330s, seven A340s and 73 A320 family aircraft on order.

Swiss currently operates a fleet of 51 Airbus aircraft, including eleven A330-200s, ten A340s and 30 Airbus A320 family aircraft.

Airbus is an EADS company."

In effetti LH deve rimpiazzare soprattutto gli A300. Credo che i 321 siano l'unica soluzione (in futuro, per quel segmento, ci saranno i 787-3, ma non credo che a LH convenga aspettare/acquistarli).
 
scusate ma non mi tornano i conti, così, ripensandoci:
LX compra 9 A330-300 per sostituire i suoi A330-200, che però sono 11: e gli altri 2 come li sostituisce?
e se invece facesse un mix di entrambi, cioè tenesse i 332 a 3 classi ed usasse i nuovi 333 per rimpiazzare solo i 332 a 2 classi ed i rimanenti ad espandere la flotta? :D
