Ordini Farnborough Airshow 2008


Scusate, ma sono scettico: se tutti gli ordini annunciati ogni anno all'airshow venissero effettivamente consegnati, avremmo più aerei in cielo che macchine sull'A26 il giorno di ferragosto.

Secondo me annunciano, spacciandoli come "firmed orders", delle semplici promesse d'ordine.


autopromozione celebrativa a due?
un paso doble: fa bene alla compagnia che dichiara stato di benessere e credibilità se compra, fa bene al produttore che così fa vedere quanto e bravo e tira la sua azienda?
Così la borsa si smuove un po'?
 
Beh entrambe le aziende hanno le linee d'assemblaggio piene di qui a qualche anno... quindi magari non tutte si concretizzano in ordini effettivi, ma è un dato di fatto che entrambe non stanno con le mani in mano.
 
Qatar Airways to acquire four additional Airbus A321s
15 July 2008
Qatar Airways, the national airline of Qatar has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the purchase of four Airbus A321 aircraft. The agreement was signed at a ceremony at the 46th Farnborough International Airshow by Qatar Airway’s Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker, and Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders.

“Concluding this deal with Airbus for the additional A321 aircraft will further assist Qatar Airways in the rapid development of its regional network,” said Mr Al Baker. “Qatar Airways’ young and fuel efficient fleet of Airbus A320 family of aircraft continues to support the airline’s dramatic growth at a time when the airline industry as a whole is struggling with the impact of prevailing high fuel prices,” he added.

The Doha-based airline’s current in-service fleet consists of a total of 19 A320 Family variants, one A300-600R, three A300-600 freighters, 31 A330s, and four A340-600s.

“Qatar Airways’ attention to passenger service is legendary, so we are delighted to have it as a customer for the A321,” says Tom Enders. “We take great pride in our partnership with Qatar Airways which dates back to its inception in 1992. Qatar Airways is a world class airline and our partnership grows with these new aircraft order.”

Qatar Airways is one of the world’s leading airlines, with a fleet that comprises aircraft from the A320, A300/A310 and A330/A340 families including the ACJ corporate jet. Qatar Airways is also a customer for the 21st Century flagship, the A380 and is the largest customer for the
A350 XWB.

The A320 Family, which includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, is recognized as the benchmark single-aisle aircraft family. Each aircraft features fly by wire controls and all share a unique cockpit and operational commonality across the range. Around 6,200 Airbus A320 Family aircraft have been sold and more than 3,500 delivered to some 280 customers and operators worldwide, making it the worlds best selling commercial jetliner ever.

With proven reliability and extended servicing periods, the A320 Family has the lowest operating costs of any single aisle aircraft. Uniquely, the A320 Family offers a containerized cargo system, which is compatible with the world wide standard wide-body system.

Airbus is an EADS company.

E' ottimo il 321 per le rotte regionali nel Golfo !!!

Non ha senso muovere pochi 330 al giorno, meglio usare il 321 con più frequenze, avendo anche costi e consumi nettamente più bassi.
 
Anche Tunisair ordina Airbus:

Tunisair places firm order with Airbus for A350s, A330s and A320s
15 July 2008


North African airline Tunisair, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, has signed a firm contract with Airbus for the acquisition of three A350-800s, three A330-200s and ten A320s, as part of an important fleet development plan that will modernise and expand the fleet of this growing airline. With this acquisition, that follows an initial agreement announced last April, Tunisair is the third African airline to order the all-new A350 XWB. Tunisair currently already has 12 A320s, four A319s, and three A300-600s in operation.

The all-new, eco-efficient A350s will provide the right aircraft at the right time for the long-term development plans of Tunisair for long haul routes to North America and Asia. Meanwhile, the A330s will allow the airline to modernize its wide-body fleet and seamlessly enter the long haul market, shortly opening new routes to North America with the most modern and cost efficient aircraft available today. Furthermore, the A320s will allow Tunisair to renew and expand its regional operations with more efficient and cost effective aircraft complementing its current fleet.

“With this firm order, Tunisair underlines its positive business outlook and can now start putting its plans into action and prepare for the future, both nearer and further out, with the right aircraft,‘’ said Mr. Chettaoui, President and CEO of Tunisair group. “The A330s and later on the A350 will really allow us to develop our long haul market, while our A320 fleet, which is already performing extremely well, will be further expanded. And with these products, our customers will be benefiting from the most efficient and comfortable aircraft in the market today”, he continued.

“We are very proud of this renewed trust from Tunisair, which shows the value and strength of the Airbus Family concept, bringing operational commonality into their fleet and allowing for important cost savings and fleet efficiency,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus Chief Operating Officer. “Tunisair was one of our first customers. It has accompanied Airbus since its early days and grown with us. We are very happy to further strengthen our close ties well into the future”, he added.

The longstanding relationship started in 1980, when Tunisair placed its first order for an Airbus A300B4. It has built up its Airbus fleet, with the first A320 order placed in 1988, one of the first orders for the type in Africa. In another pioneering move, with the order in 2006 for the A319 Extended-Range, Tunisair was the first airline to start operating this aircraft type in Africa, benefiting from Airbus’ continuous efforts for innovation and technological advancements.

Asiana orders 30 A350 XWBs valued at more than $7 billion

Asiana Airlines placed a firm order for 30 A350 XWBs valued at more than $7 billion plus 10 options, a major win for Airbus. Deliveries are slated to begin in 2016.

Asiana has been weighing for months whether to place a massive order for A350s or 787s to replace its 767s and A330s and drive future growth to Japan and China and on long-haul routes. The competition to woo the South Korean carrier was considered one of the most intensely fought between Airbus and Boeing this year.

Asiana Vice Chairman and CEO Chan Bup Park said the order ensures that "we will remain at the forefront of the aviation industry." The airline said it plans to take all three variants of the aircraft, adding that it will be used on both regional and long-haul routes. They will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWBs.

Airbus said it has sold a total of more than 350 A350s to more than 20 customers.
