. Paris Air Show 2007: Bertaya Air orders 4 ATR72-500 Malaysian-based Berjaya Air (an indirect subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation) signed a US $74 million agreement with ATR for 4 new ATR 72-500 aircraft. The deal was announced today at the Paris Air Show by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan, Berjaya Corporation Chairman and CEO and Stéphane Mayer, who on 1st June succeeded Filippo Bagnato as ATR CEO. With this order Berjaya Corporation becomes a new ATR customer. These 4 new ATR 72-500s will be delivered in 2009 and 2010 in a 72-seat configuration and equipped with the new “Elegance Cabin” and with the newest technological innovations in the field of communications and navigation aid tools. The new ATR 72-500 aircraft will replace Berjaya Air’s existing fleet of 48-seater Dash 7 aircraft and would subsequently help to improve Berjaya Air’s financial performance in terms of lower maintenance cost and increase in seating capacity. In addition, the new aircraft will allow Berjaya Air to expand its reach to other parts of the Asean region. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan, Chairman and CEO of Berjaya Corporation, said, “These new aircraft will enable Berjaya Air to offer faster and quieter flights to its tourist destinations of Redang Island, Koh Samui and later on to Tioman Island, as well as to increase its passenger capacity and number of flights. It will also enable Berjaya Air to operate more economically and therefore lower its air fares.” Source: ATR (Message édité par Curufinwe le 18/06/2007 14h39) _________________ David - Rédacteur en chef d'Aeroweb-fr.net Mes photos sur Pictaero "Never trust a small man.

. Paris Air Show 2007: Air France to order 2 additional A380s and 18 single aisle aircraft from Airbus Air France has signed a Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) for the purchase of two additional Airbus A380s and 18 A320 Family aircraft. The two A380s come in addition to the ten it already has on order, confirming the airline’s commitment for Airbus’ all new very high capacity double deck airliner, as well as to Airbus‘ single aisle product range. With this additional order, the French carrier is pursuing its ambitious fleet modernisation and its network development programme, while eventually operating an all Airbus single-aisle fleet. The first European carrier to operate the A380, Air France will fly the A380s from its Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub to Asian and North American destinations, starting in spring 2009. Air France will configure the A380s in a comfortable three class layout. The aircraft will be powered by Engine Alliance engines. With 145 aircraft in service, Air France already operates one of the world’s largest Airbus single aisle fleets. The latest generation A320s and A321s ordered by Air France are equipped with updated cabins and low fuel burn, new generation CFM International CFM56 engines. The aircraft will be operated on domestic and European routes. “The A380 is a remarkable aircraft, setting new standards in air travel, and giving us the extra passenger capacity we need for our extra long haul flights. Hence our wish to boost our Airbus A380 fleet further,” said Air France President Jean-Cyril Spinetta. “With lower emissions and fuel burn per passenger, the A380 is also our response to environmental concerns. Equally our brand new A320 Family aircraft fleet will continue our long history of outstanding results with the A320 Family,” he added. “We are honoured to receive this renewed vote of confidence for our state of the art aircraft from one of our most valued customers. Air France was the first carrier to fly Airbus aircraft and the first in the world to operate aircraft from the entire Single Aisle Family. Their commitment means a lot to us. We are convinced that our product range, which consistently leads in technological innovation for lower fuel burn, lower operating costs, environmental friendliness, and more comfort, is a major contributor to the success of Air France,” said Airbus President and CEO Louis Gallois.
