[78], In March 2017, Bombardier conducted steep 5.5 approach landings tests at London City Airport (LCY),[79] and announced one month later, April 2017, that the CS100 received Transport Canada and EASA steep approach certification. [73][74] [43] The incident kept Bombardier from displaying the CSeries at one of the most important aerospace events in that year, the biennial Farnborough Airshow. Last month, Boeing had 51 new 737 MAX airplane orders and 45 widebody airplanes, including 14 777s. In December 2018, the EASA approved Category IIIa/IIIb instrument approaches for autoland with no decision height but runway visibility minimum requirements. Weak Post-Farnborough Order Intake. FI's market research reports offer concise analysis of individual programs and identify market opportunities. The models were offered in standard- and extended-range (ER) variants; and additionally, an extra thrust (XT) variant of the CS300 was also offered. Avionics are a further development of the integrated modular avionics (IMA) concept found on the A380. China Southern Airlines was the only Chinese carrier to ever operate the superjumbo. [22] The overall airframe consists of 70% advanced lightweight materials, comprising 46% composite materials and 24% aluminiumlithium. This article lists the orders and deliveries for the Airbus A350 family, currently produced by Airbus. [1] In the engine columns, the boxes filled in with a * signify that the airline has ordered all their A320neo jets with that particular engine. [195], From August 2020 to July 2021, the A220 average on-time performance (OTP) was 99%, led by Korean Air with 99.63%, giving the airline the "Airbus A220 Best Operational Excellence 2021" award on 4 October 2021, during IATA's Annual General Meeting.

The Airbus A400M Atlas is a European four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft.It was designed by Airbus Military (now Airbus Defence and Space) as a tactical airlifter with strategic capabilities to replace older transport aircraft, such as the Transall C-160 and the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. The plan is to get back to five per month before doubling that to ten, which is still lower than the fourteen per month Boeing used [150] This differs substantially from the four-window arrangement in the original design. [268], There were 499 A350 aircraft in service with 39 operators and 52 customers as of September2022[update]. Iberia was the first to receive the upgraded -900 (26 June 2018), with a 280t (620,000lb) MTOW version for an 8,200nmi (15,200km) range with 325 passengers in three classes. Although deliveries resumed in August after an eighteen-month pause over production quality issues, the Dreamliner is produced at very low rates. [210] It will enable non-stop Manila-New York City flights without payload limitations in either direction,[211] a 7,404nmi (13,712km) flight. [153] [2][161] The launch operator stated in August, that "the customer feedback is very positive with the expected remarks concerning the bright cabin, reduced noise, enough leg room and space for hand luggage as well as the comfortable seats. [67] In 2015, 17 planes would be delivered and the initial dispatch reliability was 98%. On 29 September 2021, Air France, the largest A220 customer in Europe, received its first A220-300 from an order for 60 aircraft, to be operated on the airline's medium-haul network with a 148 passengers single-class cabin. After a year, Cathay Pacific experienced cosmetic quality issues and upgraded or replaced the seats for the earliest cabins. [23] Fokker was the manufacturer of the 100-seat Fokker 100 short-haul aircraft. The development program was launched in 2008. [123] Embraer also believed supply chain costs could not be reduced enough to make the CSeries profitable, viewing it as heavy, expensive and adapted to long, thin routes exceeding the range of E-jet E2, a close rival for market share. [132] Airbus' 2019 earnings report indicated the A350 programme had broken even in 2019. The A220 family complements the A319neo in the Airbus range and competes with the largest variants of the Embraer E-Jet E2 family and the smaller Boeing 737 MAX-7 variant. [32], Sine Draco Aviation also offers an A321 passenger-to-freighter conversion programme; its first conversion is expected for the first quarter of 2022. Two suppliers provided turbofan engines for the A321: CFM International with its CFM56 and International Aero Engines with the V2500 engine, both in the thrust range of 133147kN (30,00033,000lbf). Dati estratti da A340-airbus.com voci di aerei civili presenti su Wikipedia Airbus A340-200 di Qatar Airways . The first serial unit was on the final assembly line in early December. [45] Engine Alliance partner Pratt & Whitney seemed to be unaligned with GE on this, having publicly stated that it was looking at an advanced derivative of the GP7000. [30] However, it was decided programme costs are to be borne mainly from cash-flow. That means the impact could spread far beyond the agencys payday lending rule. [119] Leahy considered that Boeing indirectly forced the CSeries programme into Airbus hands by pressing the U.S. administration for massive tariffs on the aircraft.

[27] For the updated A350 XWB, GE offered a 87,000lbf (390kN) GEnx-3A87 for the A350-800/900, but not a higher thrust version needed for the A350-1000, which competes with the longer range 777 powered exclusively with the GE90-115B. [248], It features an automatic emergency descent function to around 10,000ft (3,000m) and notifies air traffic control if the crew fails to respond to an alert, indicating possible incapacitation from depressurisation. [145] The current 777 and future derivatives have 1.27cm (0.5in) greater seat width than the A350 in a nine-abreast configuration. Singapore Airlines selected an A350-900 version for medium-haul use,[240] and Japan Airlines took delivery of a 369-seat A350-900 with a 217t (478,000lb) MTOW for its domestic flight network. Boeing has long dominated the cargo space with its 737-800BCF, 767-300BCF, 767-300F, 777F, 777-8F and 747-8F offerings. The airplanes were grounded until the root cause could be determined and the airline would not accept future deliveries until the problem is resolved. Airbus A340-500 di Thai Airways International . [259] In early 2020, Airbus was proposing an A350F before a potential launch. Production will continue to be increased until reaching a monthly rate of 65 by early 2024 (recently pushed back from mid-2023 due to supply chain challenges). In 2019, Airbus delivered 112 A350s (87 A350-900s and 25 A350-1000s) at a rate of 10 per month, and were going to keep the rate around nine to 10 per month, to reflect softer demand for widebodies, as the backlog reached 579 or 5.2 years of production at a constant rate. [19] The Airbus A330neo ("neo" for "New Engine Option") is a wide-body airliner developed by Airbus from the Airbus A330 (now A330ceo "Current Engine Option"). [177] This boosted its appeal to Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines, who were committed to purchase 20 Boeing 777-9s, and to United Airlines, which was considering Boeing 777-300ERs to replace its 747-400s. You can now witness any widebody aircraft, including the Airbus A380, taxi right below your feet at HKG. [3] In October 2012, the -800 was due to enter service in mid-2016,[203] but its development was cancelled in September 2014. [189] 45% of flights were under 3,000nmi (5,556km), 16% over 5,000nmi (9,260km), and 39% in between. The fuselage was lengthened by a 4.27m (14ft 0in) plug ahead of the wing and a 2.67m (8ft 9in) plug behind it, making the A321 6.94m (22ft 9in) longer than the A320. The new standard comes with a wider interior cabin at armest level. [51] US-based Rockwell Collins and Moog Inc. were chosen to supply the horizontal stabiliser actuator and primary flight control actuation, respectively. As of September2022[update], Singapore Airlines is the largest operator with 61 airplanes in its fleet. [140] Two to three more seats could be added by moving the aft lavatory, without reducing the seat pitch. [185] [191], By January 2021, airBaltic's A220 fleet had completed close to 60,000 flights over 141,000 block hours, carrying over 5.6 million passengers as it completed C checks on the first seven aircraft of its fleet. [126] [33] [7], On 10 December 2004, Airbus' shareholders, EADS and BAE Systems, approved the "authorisation to offer" for the A350, expecting a 2010 service entry. [123], In October 2017, Boeing was reportedly concerned over its ability to match fleet package deals enabled by the partnership. In 2021, Airbus booked a total of 771 gross orders and received 264 cancellations, for a total of 507 net new orders enough to win the orders crown for the third year in a row. [115] It was delivered on 20 February 2018[116] and entered commercial service on Qatar Airways' Doha to London Heathrow route on 24 February 2018. More than two dozen members of Congress have visited the self-governing democracy this year, the most since at least 2013. Room 1318-19,13/F Hollywood Plaza, 610 Nathan Road Mong Kok, Kowloon HK It allows for an eight-abreast 242 arrangement in a premium economy layout,[a] with the seats being 49.5cm (19.5in) wide between 5cm (2.0in) wide arm rests. [63] Final assembly of the first A350 static test model was started on 5 April 2012. The first A350 design proposed by Airbus in 2004, in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, would have been a development of the A330 with composite wings and new engines. The Boeing 747-8 is a wide-body airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, and the largest variant of the 747.After introducing the 747-400, Boeing considered larger 747 versions as alternatives to the proposed double-deck Airbus A3XX, later developed as the A380.The stretched 747 Advanced was launched as the 747-8 on November 14, 2005, for a market forecast of 300 The coronavirus crisis caused the decrease of A350 production from 9.5 per month to six per month, since April 2020. At that time the airline operated the longest flight by an A220 a 6.5-hour flight from Riga to Abu Dhabi. "[17][18] As major airlines such as Qantas and Singapore Airlines selected the 787 over the A350, Humbert tasked an engineering team to produce new alternative designs. [101] After the negotiation between Airbus and Asiana Airlines,[102] Asiana converted orders of eight A350-800s and one A350-1000 to nine A350-900s. This order is also a big win for Boeing, as it shows airlines are still confident in the Dreamliner program, shortly after the FAA allowed Boeing to start delivering the aircraft again. [207] Originally marketed by Bombardier as the CS100, it competes with the Embraer E190 and E195. The 787 should be back to ten per month in 2025-2026. [194], In June 2017 after 30 months in commercial operation, 80 A350s were in service with 12 operators, the largest being Qatar Airways with 17 and 13 each at Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines (SIA). [126], During competition investigation, Airbus and Bombardier were to operate separately and clean teams with privileged access to competitively sensitive data but separated from their management planned the integration, evaluating synergies and preparing communications to regulators. [77] Its direct competitors include the 757-200 and the 737-900/900ER. [225] They will have two seating classes. [153] The larger A220-300 (former CS300), is 6 tonnes (13,000lb) lighter than the A319neo and nearly 8 tonnes (18,000lb) lighter than the Boeing 737 MAX 7, helping it to achieve up to 12% operating costs savings and 15% with the current models. Although its launch is not guaranteed, it would be delivered in the mid-2020s, after the A321XLR and a stretched A320neo "plus", potentially competing with the Boeing New Midsize Airplane. Boeings last normal year was 2018 before COVID-19 and the 737 MAX grounding when it delivered 806 jets, a level that will likely not be recaptured before 2025. Originally five A350-800s and two A350-900s.
