Emirates Announces Ambitious Fleet Retirement Schedule for 20167 December 2015

Fleet strategy will improve environmental performance and passenger comfort with an increased reliance on modern, state-of-the-art wide-body aircraft.

Dubai, UAE - 7 December 2015: Emirates has announced its fleet plans for 2016. In total, the airline will retire 26 aircraft, including 12 A330-300s, 4 A340-300s, 1 A340-500, 6 Boeing 777-200ERs, 2 Boeing 777-300s and 1 Boeing 777-300ER. The average age of the Emirates aircraft slated for retirement in 2016 will be 15.7 years, well-below the average industry retirement age of 25. In addition, 13 more aircraft will be retired in 2017 and another 13 will be retired in 2018.
Balancing its aircraft retirement programme, Emirates will take delivery of 36 new aircraft in 2016, including 20 A380s and 16 Boeing 777-300ERs. These two aircraft types are recognised as some of the most efficient and quiet commercial airplanes available, emitting on average 12% less carbon dioxide than the aircraft being retired. At the end of 2016, the aircraft retirements and new deliveries will put Emirates’ average fleet age at 5.6 years, dramatically younger than the global average. A recent analysis shows the average fleet age for the top five airlines in North America is 13.6 years, while the average fleet age for the top five airlines in Europe is 10.7 years.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said, “Emirates has a global footprint as the world's largest international airline, and we have a responsibility to our customers, the communities we serve, and the planet. We are fully committed to flying a modern fleet that is better for the environment, and provides our customers with a superior level of comfort and safety. With the retirement of older aircraft and the introduction of new, more fuel efficient aircraft in 2016, Emirates will continue to lead the industry in reducing the age of our fleet, while at the same time defining new levels of service that our customers have come to expect."
Currently, the total number of aircraft in the Emirates fleet stands at 243. In 2015, the airline received 26 new aircraft, including 15 A380s, 10 Boeing 777-300ERs and 1 Boeing 777 Freighter. The airline has 263 additional aircraft on order, worth over US$120 billion at list prices. Its order book includes 71 Airbus A380s, 42 Boeing 777-300ERs, 115 Boeing 777-9Xs and 35 Boeing 777-8Xs.
When delivered beginning in 2020, the new Boeing 777Xs will come with a variety of fuel efficient design additions making it almost 20% more fuel efficient than previous models. It will also include a range of passenger-focused amenities including larger windows, increased cabin pressure, more humidity, higher ceilings and a wider cabin than previous models.
In addition to reducing the age of its fleet, Emirates also implements a variety of other environmental practices that reduces CO2 emissions. These include FlexTracks, a programme that plans efficient flight route patterns based on weather conditions; single-engine taxi on the ground; idle reverse thrust upon landing; and fuel-efficient ground handling and transportation equipment. Emirates publishes its environmental initiatives and emissions performance data annually as part of the Emirates Group environmental report available on www.emirates.com/environment.

"Idle reverse thrust", chi saprebbe darmi qualche spiegazione di che cos'è e in cosa operativamente differisce dalla semplice "reverse thrust"?
Grazie!

In idle reverse, si apre solamente il reverse, e il motore rimane in idle.

Con reverse thrust si intende full reverse: si apre il reverse e si aumenta la thrust, producendo una maggiore spinta 'negativa'. Svantaggio di questo full quando non serve, cicli e manutenzione motore, fuel, rumore

Grazie! Quindi a voler semplificare al massimo, la idle reverse è più un'azione aerodinamica (come gli aerofreni) o effettivamente i motori generano una certa spinta contraria al moto del veivolo?

E in senso più generale, i motori in una normale fase di idle, generano una spinta apprezzabile (seppur molto limitata) nell'ambito delle forze in gioco?

A grandi linee i motori hanno due livelli di idle diversi uno per la condizione ground ed uno per la condizione volo (leggermente più alto). Tutti e due generano un minimo di spinta. Il 330,per esempio a pesi leggeri tipo dopo l atterraggio, on the ground ad idle va come una saetta e devi usare parecchio i freni anche per questo motivo quando possibile il single engine taxi è consigliato.

si esatto, anche in idle reverse, quasi tutta la spinta idle diventa negativa, ad alte velocita' diventa un bel freno. parlo di jet.
su turboprop cambia il pitch delle eliche, stesso concetto e utilizzo.
 
Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) is planning to conclude commercial A340 operations later next year in line with its fleet renewal strategy.


In a statement, the Dubai-based carrier said it would retire its four remaining A340-300s and lone A340-500 alongside twenty-one other ageing aircraft including twelve A330-200s, six B777-200(ER)s, two B777-300s, and one B777-300(ER).


Emirates currently uses its A340s on flights across Africa, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Iran, and China.


At present, it has 263 additional aircraft on order including seventy-one A380-800s, forty-two B777-300(ER)s, 115 B777-9s, and thirty-five B777-8s.
 
Lo scorso 13/4, EK ha diffuso un PR per comunicare l'ordine di 2 ulteriori A380 (se ne è parlato nel 3d dedicato).
Viene anche fatto un cenno sul piano flotta fino alla fine del prossimo anno:

From now until the end of 2017, Emirates will retire 30 older aircraft from our fleet. At the same time, to meet our growth expectations, we will receive delivery of 24 new Boeing 777, and 33 new A380 aircraft including these two additional A380 aircraft just ordered.

A fine 2017 EK dovrebbe quindi avere in flotta ben 108 A380 (non credo che le nuove macchine sostituiranno i 380 più vecchi), con ancora 34 ordini inevasi.

Emirates to phase out A330s, A340s, B777-200ERs this month

Patrick Brannelly, Divisional Vice President (Customer Experience IFE & Connectivity) at Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l), has confirmed the Dubai-based carrier will be phasing out its remaining A330-200s and A340-300s by the end of this month.

Speaking during the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) in Singapore this week, Brannelly said that with effect from next month, Emirates' fleet would consist exclusively of B777 and A380-800 aircraft.

Schedule data indicates Emirates' last scheduled A330 service is provisionally set for Thiruvananthapuram-Dubai on Saturday, October 29 while the A340's last regular service has been provisionally set for October 30 from Muscat to Dubai. The carrier's fleet of three remaining B777-200(ER)s has also been scheduled for retirement at month end with its last regular service set for October 29 between Ahmedabad and Dubai.

Once retired, Emirates' mainline passenger fleet will constitute eighty-four A380-800s, ten B777-200(LR)s, ten B777-300s and 124 B777-300(ER)s.

Diversamente dall'anno passato, non viene precisato quanti nuovi aerei entreranno in flotta nel 2017. Si fa solo cenno al ritiro di ulteriori 25 macchine nel 2017-18 (suppongo i rimanenti 77E/773 e i 77W/380 più vecchi).

Emirates moves to an all Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 fleet


Thursday, November 10, 2016 — DUBAI, U.A.E., 10 November 2016: In line with its vision to offer a superior passenger experience and improve environmental performance through a modern and state of the art wide-body aircraft fleet, Emirates has retired the last Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft in its fleet from active service. This makes Emirates the first and only airline in the world to operate a fleet of all Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft for its passenger flights.
Emirates recently retired A6-EAK from operational service. The aircraft was the last of the 29 Airbus A330 aircraft that had been operating as part of its fleet. A6-EAK joined Emirates in 2002 and had flown for over 60,000 hours travelling close to 45 million kilometres in 14.5 years. That distance is equivalent to almost 60 return journeys between the Earth and the Moon. Emirates has also phased out A6-ERN, the last serving Airbus A340 in the fleet which had joined the airline in 2004, originally manufactured in 1999.
Since January 2015, Emirates has retired 18 A330 and 5 A340 aircraft from its fleet. The average age of the Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft phased out from the fleet is 16.5 years- a figure which is well below the industry standard retirement age of 25 years. In addition to the aircraft that have been retired from active service since January 2015, Emirates plans to further phase out some 25 aircraft over the course of 2017 and 2018 to ensure that the operating fleet remains modern and efficient while offering customers a higher level of comfort and safety.
The retirement of older aircraft is balanced by the induction of younger, more modern aircraft into the fleet. This has resulted in Emirates operating one of the youngest fleets in the industry with an average age of 5.2 years. The two youngest aircraft in the fleet- Emirates’ 85th A380- the first of the new generation A380 aircraft delivered in October 2016 and Emirates’ 125th Boeing 777-300ER- are less than 2 weeks old. Emirates’ fleet of all Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft will also have a smaller environmental impact as both aircraft types have better fuel efficiency and emissions performance than the retired aircraft.
For the calendar year 2016 Emirates will have taken delivery of 36 new aircraft - 20 Airbus A380s and 16 Boeing 777. This also includes the next generation Boeing 777-300ER aircraft - with upgraded business class seats and other features including a lower fuel burn ratio - to be delivered from November 2016.
Emirates is currently the largest operator of the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft with 85 Airbus A380s and 160 Boeing 777s in its fleet. Out of the 234 aircraft worth over USD 112 billion that Emirates has in its order book, 150 will be the new Boeing 777X aircraft that will be delivered starting 2020. The aircraft will feature a range of passenger focused amenities on board including larger windows, higher ceiling, and a wider cabin in addition to being more fuel efficient than older aircraft.

Qualche novità negli allestimenti dei nuovi aerei in arrivo.
Il 380 avrà 25 posti di Y in più grazie allo spostamento della crew rest area. E' inoltre previsto un leggero restyling della J associalto all'eliminazione delle cappelliere lato finestrino (con contestuale ingrandimento di quelle centrali).
Il 77W vedrà l'installazione della nuova J presentata qualche mese fa e l'aggiunta di 6 posti di Y.
Visto che rimarranno gli stessi 8 posti di F e 42 di J e che la nuova poltrona di quest'ultima ha un passo molto più generoso della precedente, suppongo che per i pax di Y sia in arrivo una bella sforbiciata dello spazio disponibile per le gambe.

Emirates welcomes new generation A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft to its fleet

Tuesday, November 15, 2016 — Dubai, UAE, 15 November 2016 – Emirates has begun taking delivery of its new generation Airbus A380 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The first of the new generation A380s was delivered this month as Emirates’ 85th A380. The first of its new generation Boeing 777-300ER aircraft is expected to be delivered later this month and will feature upgraded Business Class seats amongst other features.
These new aircraft reflect Emirates' continued investment and commitment to flying a modern, environmentally –friendly fleet and providing its customers with a superior level of comfort and safety.
New generation Emirates Airbus A380
In addition to its iconic Onboard Lounge and First Class Shower Spa, the new generation Emirates A380 – 388Q will have several new features including a new seat configuration. This is the first of seven expected to be delivered this fiscal year, with 51 more on order. With the relocation of the crew rest area, there will be 25 additional seats in Economy Class, making it a total of 426 seats on the lower deck. First and Business Class seats will remain at 14 and 76 respectively.
Among the features is an elegant new design in the Business Class cabin with a higher ceiling to create a more spacious and luxurious feel for customers. Overhead cabin lockers on the new A380 aircraft will be concentrated in the middles aisles and will be 28% larger in volume.
The next generation A380s are expected to serve more ultra-long haul routes.
New generation Boeing 777-300ER

From end of November, Emirates will begin taking delivery of its new generation Boeing 777-300ER. It will be the first of six this fiscal year and 27 total on order. The new aircraft will feature enhanced Business Class seats which recline to 180-degree fully flat beds of 78 inches in length, an in-seat minibar and the largest inflight entertainment screen in Business Class at 23 inches.
The aircraft will also have an upgraded seat configuration with two additional seats in Economy Class taking the total capacity in economy to 306. The number of seats in First and Business Class will remain the same at 8 and 42 seats respectively.
The lavatories have also been given a fresh look with new wood finish, improved lighting and new designs on the sidewall panel.
These fuel efficient aircraft are expected to have improved environmental performance with 2% lower fuel burn.
100% on-demand entertainment

Emirates’ entire fleet is now made up completely of Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s, as it recently retired the last of its Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft. An all-Boeing 777-and-A380 fleet means that the inflight entertainment offering will effectively be 100% video on demand giving customers full control and choice with up to 2,600 channels of entertainment on its award-winning ice system.
Currently, 85% of Emirates’ fleet of passenger aircraft is equipped with Wi-Fi on board including all A380 aircraft. In addition, 108 aircraft are equipped with live TV, which has up to nine channels of live news and sport.
With close to 90% of customers on Emirates connecting to Wi-Fi on long haul flights, Emirates will continue to meet the increasing demand for connectivity, enabling more aircraft with Wi-Fi and live TV each month.

In un recente articolo di ATWO, Clark discute della possibilità di acquistare 787 o 350. Difficilmente la crescita del vettore emiratino potrà passare ancora per molto solo piazzando 77W e 380 in giro per il mondo - i mercati che possono supportarlo non sono infiniti. Un aereo più piccolo ha senso, imho.
