Emirates Dismisses A380plus Concept As Negotiations Continue


DUBAI - Emirates is rejecting the proposed Airbus A380plus concept in spite of its plans to continue ordering more of the largest commercial aircraft.

“We would rather they just offered us the continuation of the line,” Emirates Airline President Tim Clark said at the Dubai Airshow. “I have never been a big fan [of the A380plus].” Key features of the proposed upgrade include the removal of the large forward staircase and an eleven-abreast cabin in the economy section, both of which Emirates will not take. Emirates is also not insisting on a commitment by Airbus to eventually re-engine the A380 as a prerequisite for a new order.

Both parties planned to announce a major deal at the Dubai Airshow this week, but the process was derailed over what guarantees for the continuation of the program could be given. Industry sources said it was still possible, but not very likely, a deal could come through this week.

“The undertakings Airbus will have to make is that the line will continue for 10-15 years and that a further commitment [by Emirates] would not be at risk,” Clark said. The government of Dubai needed absolute certainty that Airbus will continue building the A380 for that timeframe before it commits to a further order.

Emirates currently operates 100 A380s and has 42 more on firm order. Clark did not say how many additional aircraft the airline may buy, some reports suggested the number could be similar to Emirates’ current order backlog for the type.

Airbus’ total A380 backlog now stands at 100 aircraft, but most of the non-Emirates orders are no longer expected to materialize. Airbus is reducing output to 12 aircraft a year in 2018 and eight in 2019. The manufacturer wants to keep production at seven or eight aircraft per year for several years until demand for the type from other airlines picks up and the rate could be increased. Airbus has made a profit on a recurring cost base at a rate of 15 aircraft per year and is trying to drive breakeven down further. However, it is acknowledging that production will be loss-making at eight per year.

“The ownership [of Emirates] is well aware of the dearth of orders,” Clark said. Airbus wants Emirates to take delivery of aircraft across the entire timeline of guaranteed production years. Depending on the size of the order Emirates will place, that would leave Airbus having to fill open production slots each year over an extended period of time. Clark, however, argued that the current Emirates order makes sure “the program is sustained until the middle of the next decade anyway.”

Should Emirates go ahead with an additional order, it would talk to both engine manufacturers - the Engine Alliance and Rolls-Royce – about equipping the aircraft. The remaining 42 aircraft on firm order are powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines as are ten of the 100 in service.

According to Clark, Boeing’s proposed new midsize aircraft (NMA) could be an option for both Emirates and FlyDubai. In Emirates’ case, it could be used to increase frequencies on existing routes or for new markets. “But it is not yet at a stage where it is offerable,” he said.

The 40 Boeing 787-10s Emirates ordered earlier this week are “perfect for 7-8.5 hour missions.” Emirates plans to fly them in a 280-seat three class layout. The airline also considered the A350-900, but was not happy with some aspects of the interior configuration. Only in early November Airbus showed a new layout with the rear pressure bulkhead moved aft by 2.5 feet. Clark complained to Airbus that the design should have been on the table earlier because it could have changed the picture completely. But by that time the commitment to Boeing had already been made.

Clark predicted that enhanced cooperation between Emirates and FlyDubai will generate up to ten million incremental passengers for Emirates per year. He dismissed the idea that Emirates may be better off focusing on smaller widebodies than the A380 such as the Boeing 777-9. “If you start compressing, the hub implodes.” But using a large and growing fleet of A380s “creates huge flows across the network.”

Sostanzialmente chiedono ad Airbus di sotterrare definitivamente l'A380 con funerale a 10-15 anni producendo solo per loro a prezzi di super saldo spingendo al massimo le economie per fare almeno un pareggio sui costi di produzione. L'alternativa per Airbus è sviluppare una versione Neo in proprio senza clienti da offrire al mercato, oppure pianificare la chiusura alla conclusione degli ordini attuali.
 
Peccato: prima di seppellirlo, mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere una versione -900 ed una versione cargo, come inizialmente doveva essere.
 
VIDEO & PICTURES: Emirates receives its last 777-300ER

Dubai carrier Emirates has taken delivery of its last on-order Boeing 777-300ER.
Registered A6-EQP (MSN 42363), the jet is the 190th 777 delivered to Emirates, which notes that it has taken delivery of one in eight manufactured 777s and is the only airline to have operated all six variants of the type.

Emirates​
The 190 aircraft include 146 777-300ERs – one fifth of the total built. Emirates received the first in March 2005, and has 140 in its active fleet today. These are used to serve 119 destinations.
Describing the model as "a cornerstone of Emirates' success story", the Middle Eastern airline's president Tim Clark states that the -300ER "will continue to play an integral role in our operations and facilitating global tourism and trade opportunities in the years to come".
Emirates is set to be one of the early operators of the in-development 777X, having ordered 35 777-8s and 115 777-9s, Flight Fleets Analyzer shows.
Deliveries will begin in 2020, Clark notes.

Emirates has completed conversions of 10 Boeing 777-200LRs from three-class to two-class cabin configurations.
The Dubai carrier notes that the new layout features wider business-class seats in a 2-2-2 format.

The Gulf airline disclosed its -200LR cabin-refit plans in November 2017 and has spent $150 million converting the 10 jets at its in-house Emirates Engineering facility.
It says the engineering team spent a total of over 160,000 man-hours on the project, working with some 30 suppliers and handling over 2,700 spare parts at any one time. An average of around 35 days was spent on completely stripping and reconfiguring each aircraft.
The first of 777-200LRs with the new configuration was rolled out for commercial service in March 2018, with the last being completed this month – three months ahead of schedule, the airline says.
Emirates is this year retiring seven older 777s as it takes delivery of six new Airbus A380s.
This involves retirement of its remaining two 777-300 "classic" aircraft. A large fleet of 777-300ERs is being retained.
One of the two -300 jets – registered A6-EMV and delivered in February 2003 – has already been phased out of the fleet. The other – A6-EMX, delivered in June 2003 – will shortly follow suit.
Cirium's Fleets Analyzer shows that both jets A6-EMV (MSN 28687) and A6-EMX (MSN 32702) are leased from AerCap and around 16 years old. FG

Ultima modifica:
Come prevedibile dopo l'ordine per i 339 e 359, sembra sparita la commessa per i 40 781, peraltro mai formalizzata come ordine fermo.
Se gli Airbus sono stati ordinati nel contesto della chiusura del programma 380, probabilmente in casa Boeing i 781 saranno sostituiti da un ulteriore lotto di 779. A lungo termine questi ultimi dovranno infatti sostituire non solo gran parte dei 77W, ma anche i 123 A380.

Latest Emirates fleet plan completely omits 787-10s

Emirates Group’s newly-released annual report lists 234 future aircraft deliveries, but makes no mention of the Boeing 787-10s for which Emiratessigned in 2017.

These 234 aircraft comprise 40 Airbus A330-900s and 30 A350-900s – a commitment disclosed in February this year – plus 14 remaining A380s and 150 Boeing 777X twinjets.

But the fleet plan omits the 40 787-10s and the annual report notably does not refer at all to the 787 model.
Emirates unveiled a $15 billion agreement for 787-10s at the last Dubai air show, stating that the aircraft would be delivered in 2022.
But the airline has not made an engine selection for the 787s and they are not included on Boeing’s order backlog.
The carrier had listed the 40 787-10s in its previous annual report, for 2017-18, declaring them as “authorised and not contracted”.
They had been among 262 future deliveries alongside the 150 777Xs, 12 remaining 777-300ERs, and 60 A380s.
Emirates says it took delivery of six 777-300ERs in 2018-19, including its final one, indicating that six others were shelved.
It phased out 11 older 777s, including six 777-300ERs, four -300s and a single 777F, resulting in a net reduction of five aircraft in its 777 fleet, from 166 to 161 at the end of March 2019.
Emirates received seven of the 60 A380s in 2018-19 but is cancelling 39 others, committing to taking only 14 more of the type.
Airbus has yet to record formally the Emirates A380 cancellations or its intended $21 billion order for the 70 A330-900s and A350-900s.
In parallel with the Emirates order rejig Airbus is terminating production of the A380 in 2021.
Emirates president Tim Clark says the carrier remains a “strong believer” in the A380 programme, despite the Airbus decision.
“We have been reviewing our fleet mix options for some time now, so converting some of our A380 orders into A330neos and A350s gives us the required flexibility,” he says in the annual report. There is no reference to the 787.
Over the current financial year, 2019-20, the airline will receive six A380s and withdraw eight 777s, says Clark, to keep the fleet “strong and young”.
Clark also states that Emirates will invest in the introduction of premium-economy seating on the A380 in 2020 which, he adds, means the “iconic” aircraft will “continue to ‘wow’ our customers”.
The airline says it is also finalising “bespoke” cabin designs for its 777X fleet, deliveries of which will begin in 2020. Emirates is taking 115 777-9s and 35 777-8s.
Emirates’ overall fleet total rose by two aircraft over the course of the 2018-19 financial year, from 268 to 270. These comprised 138 777-300ERs, 10 777-200LRs, a single 777-300 and 12 777Fs, plus 109 A380s.

Sir Tim Clark reveals Emirates airline's expansion plans
Dubai carrier Emirates to increase fleet by 30% before end of 2025

Sir Tim Clark reveals Emirates airline's expansion plans
Emirates airline president Sir Tim Clark has revealed ambitious plans to grow the Dubai carrier’s fleet by 30 percent before the end of 2025.

In an interview with the Emirates World Interviews podcast series with Steve Harvey, Clark said the airline had grown at an average rate of between 14 and 20 percent over the last 20 years, but is currently going through a period of consolidation.

He said: “At some point it had to plateau. There are only so many cities that you can fly to. We’ve got to the situation where we have reached that kind of plateau of consolidation, where we have the fleet operating extensively to the network that we’re working and it’s working very well.”

Emirates is the largest international airline in the world with a fleet of 270 aircraft, which includes 12 freight.

However, Clark said the “demise” of the A380 aircraft, which saw the Dubai carrier adjust its final order for the superjumbo earlier this year, has forced the airline to look at alternatives.

As a result Emirates is set to take delivery of a range of new aircraft, including A330 NEOs, A350s and 787s and 777Xs.

New routes

“What we see now is we start taking these aircraft in the first quarter of 2021 and we will continue to ramp up bringing these in between 2021 and 2025 and in that time you will see the network grow and flourish to many places in Africa we don’t fly to, other places in the Middle Eastern region, Asia and the United States and also South America,” said Clark.

“We’re just consolidating as we transition the fleet to more fuel efficient, more profitable aircraft for us, maintaining the high levels of product and offering a network of 350 of our own, possibly with Flydubai it will be 450 or 500 aircraft flying probably to 450 destinations.

“We’re transitioning to that situation, everything is being mapped on that basis and we believe, with a high degree of confidence, we will be able to achieve that.”

Growing airports

Clark is also confident that Dubai will have the infrastructure to deal with that level of expansion.

He said: “If you take the two airports together (Dubai International Airport and Dubai World Central), Dubai (DXB) will grow to a capacity of about 115 million to 120 million when we really push it. That’s what we have modelled in terms of runway usage, stand usage.”

“If you bolt that onto DWC you have the possibility of 140-150 million passengers per annum transiting through Dubai. That gives us the capability to do all the things I’ve mentioned. I believe that will be the way forward before we finally complete or the government completes all the major airfield masterplan in Dubai World Central, probably in the middle of the 2030s.”

Credo che Emirates e FlyDubai insieme abbiano ad oggi un network da circa 210 destinazioni.
Ne mancano 140 ad arrivare alle 350 e mancano anche 100/150 aerei in base ai piani annunciati.
Sicuramente non sarà semplice.

Se conti pure Flydubai “possibly with Flydubai it will be 450 or 500 aircraft flying probably to 450 destinations.“ devi aggiungerne altre 100/150...
 
Sempre parlando di Emirates, leggevo in giro l'altro giorno che - oltre a non fare retrofit della First sugli aerei esistenti - il nuovo 779 avra' una nuova Business... che altro non e' che la Business attualmente sul 380, che gia' ha i suoi bravi 10 anni.
 
DUBAI: Emirates lifts A350 orders but cuts out A330neo

Middle Eastern carrier Emirates appears to have revised its Airbus long-haul order, committing to 50 Airbus A350s – up from the previous 30 – but not mentioning the earlier A330neo agreement.

The Gulf carrier revealed the deal during the Dubai air show.
Airbus​
Emirates had tentatively opted for 30 A350-900s and 40 A330-900s earlier this year in a rejig of its long-haul strategy as Airbus cancelled its A380 programme, for which Emirates had been the primary customer.

But the revision unveiled at the Dubai air show makes no mention of the 40 A330neos. Emirates says the new purchase deal "replaces" its previous declaration of intent.
The Dubai-based carrier says the firm order for 50 A350-900s – all exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines – is worth $16 billion at catalogue prices.
Deliveries will commence in May 2023, it adds.

"We made this decision after a thorough review of our various aircraft options and fleet plans," says chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
Emirates has yet to detail the configurations for the twinjets, but says they will have layouts including premium-economy class cabins.
