Cela commence à chauffer, "States Side" ! D'abord GE, ... et maintenant Boeing ! ------------- Lien : http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1213103 ... smartbrief FAA Issues Call for Safety Checks of Boeing PlanesBy ANDY PASZTOR June 11, 2008 U.S. aviation regulators have proposed mandatory inspections of at least hundreds of Boeing Co. jetliners to check for potential fuel-system problems that could cause engines to stop running and prevent pilots from restarting them. The proposed regulations, released by the Federal Aviation Administration last week, would require airlines to look for air leaks that "could result in multiengine flameout," or engine stoppages. The proposal says the problem could result in "an inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced landing of the airplane." The proposed rules technically affect more than 3,500 aircraft flown by U.S. carriers, but both FAA and Boeing officials said many of the planes already have been checked. Boeing previously changed the design of its fuel systems and urged carriers to conduct such operational checks last year, though it isn't clear how many planes have been inspected so far. The FAA said the move, which applies to nearly all plane models, was prompted by engine stoppages on six different Boeing aircraft between 2002 and 2004. Some of those incidents occurred during flight, while others took place during taxiing, according to the FAA. The incidents didn't result in any crashes or injuries. Boeing and FAA officials said the latest measure isn't considered a high-priority safety item, particularly in light of how long ago the incidents occurred and the fact that the agency hasn't called for any urgent or emergency action. Still, it is unusual for the FAA to issue identical inspection mandates at one time, covering such a range of models. Boeing's family of airliners share common fuel-system design features. FAA and Boeing spokeswomen said the proposed rules aren't connected to the crash-landing of a British Airways PLC Boeing 777 at London's Heathrow International Airport this year after its engines failed to respond to pilot commands for increased thrust.

Bonsoir Pierre Vellay ... M. GE chez AF, je crois ... fait une grande colonne chez ... AeroContacts ....sur les écos d'énergie et le renouvellement de la flotte ! Bien d'actualité !! Il râle avec raison, et modération quand même ... il est bien éduqué !! Et des concepts intéressants !! Il lui arrive même de penser que le GTF de P&W, est une option intéressante !! Iconoclaste ... va !! -------------Extrait (Long)--------------------------------- http://www.aerocontact.com/news/ac_news ... p?ID=07034 La compagnie a également exposé ses attentes en terme de rayon d’action. Elle et ses consoeurs européennes ont la chance d’être positionnées de telle façon que toutes les plus lointaines destinations du monde se trouvent à peu près à la même distance de leur hub. Elles n’ont donc pas besoin d’appareils à ultra long rayon d’action. Au contraire, Air France estime que de tels appareils viennent dégrader l’économie potentielle qu’elle attend. Interressant !! Air France réclame la nouvelle génération de monocouloirs En ce qui concerne le moyen-courrier, Air France est catégorique : il y a urgence. Pierre Vellay l’a martelé : « il faut mettre un terme à l’observation mutuelle des constructeurs », aussi bien des avionneurs que des motoristes. Dans leur politique d’amélioration continue de leurs appareils, Boeing et Airbus ont toujours considéré comme une priorité l’amélioration des coûts de maintenance et de la fiabilité des B737 et A320, aux dépens de l’efficacité énergétique. Par conséquent, les A320 d’aujourd’hui n’ont rien gagné en terme de consommation par rapport à ceux de 1988. Pire, avec l’absence de croissance sur le moyen-courrier – la flotte se maintient autour des cent quarante appareils depuis huit ans –, la flotte va vieillir. Or, sans vision sur l’arrivée d’une nouvelle génération de monocouloirs, la compagnie ne peut pas établir un calendrier de renouvellement. Bon, Bierre Vellay a peut être oublié de regarder du côté du V2500 de IAE ... Avec le CFM 56, sûr, celà n'a guère évolué ...!!! A la différence du long-courrier, la flotte court/moyen-courrier d'Air France, composée exclusivement de monocouloirs Airbus, va vieillir. Air France demande à présent un avion rupture, un « game changer », et ne cesse donc « jour après jour de faire pression sur les motoristes » dans ce sens. Pierre Vellay a illustré ses désirs par un objectif ambitieux : obtenir une réduction de 18% des coûts d’exploitation, ce qui équivaut à un saut technologique de deux générations pour rattraper le retard. Selon lui, les technologies pour sortir un nouveau monocouloir à l’horizon 2014-2015 sont connues, il suffit de redéployer les équipes d’ingénierie. Les enjeux se situent surtout sur la motorisation et Air France suit de près les essais sur le GTF de Pratt & Whitney, qui pourrait être testé à Toulouse, chez Airbus. Ben voilà clair et bien dit ...les airliners ont leurs droits !! Sauf que 2 générations, c'est 2020 (Moteurs + Airframe ) Et une genération (C'est une MAJ) 2012-2014, Beaucoup de "Moteur et un peu d'airframe ..Al-Li par exemple !! Mais quand même 12-18 % possibles !! Ca compte pour les Airliners !! Question subsidiaire ?? Qui va payer si ce n'est pas dans le planning financier des Airframers et motoristes ??

Bonjour Des nouvelles de Aerolineas Argentine ... Pas grand chose... la vante progresse, et marsans se replie sur 34 % du Capital ... Il garde Austral pour l'instant ... Un PB Argentin semble lui suffire !!  La flotte commandée à Airbus ... non attribuée  ---------------L'Article------------------ http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/20 ... nears.html Aerolineas Argentinas sale nears By Kerry Ezard Spain's Grupo Marsans is in talks with Argentine businessman to sell part of its Aerolíneas Argentinas stake The future ownership structure of flag carrier Aerolíneas Argentinas could be decided soon, with majority owner Grupo Marsans of Spain embroiled in negotiations with local businessman Juan Carlos Lopez Mena, who heads up Argentine shipping company Buquebus. Jorge Molina, director of corporate affairs at Aerolíneas Argentinas, says the Argentine government aims to increase its stake in the flag carrier to 20% from 5% under a plan which, if negotiations prove successful, will see Marsans sell a further 36% stake to Lopez Mena. This would leave the Spanish travel group with a 34% shareholding the remaining 10% of the airline's shares would be in the hands of its employees. "The idea is to open up the share capital to local businesses," says Molina, adding that nothing has been finalised and negotiations between Lopez Mena and Marsans president Gonzalo Pascual are still ongoing. Marsans acquired its stake in Aerolíneas Argentinas and sister carrier Austral in 2001 through its subsidiary Air Comet. An industry source in Buenos Aires says it is unclear how Austral will be impacted by the proposed sale, and this has led to unrest and strike threats from the carrier's unions. The source adds that Aerolíneas Argentinas is struggling financially, a situation which is being compounded by the uncertainty over its future ownership. Molina says Aerolíneas Argentinas incurred a net loss of $100 million in 2007 on revenues of $1.1 billion. He adds that the carrier's strategy going forward is to strengthen its Latin American network, particularly to destinations in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and Peru, and increase its European frequencies to Barcelona, Madrid and Rome. "In the future we will continue to strengthen our European network, and we are studying Paris and London," says Molina. Aerolíneas Argentinas' growth strategy is dependent on an aircraft order placed by Marsans with Airbus in October 2007 for 10 A350-900s, four A380s, five A330-200s and 42 A320-family aircraft. The Spanish company has not yet indicated which of its subsidiaries will receive which aircraft. JPRS Paris _________________ JPRS |

Bonsoir EADS ... une passoire .. Les secrets volent en Russie !! ------------------L'article------------------ http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/ ... ionage.php German EADS engineer convicted of spying for Russians; given suspended sentence The Associated Press Published: June 16, 2008 MUNICH, Germany: A Munich state court says it has convicted a German engineer who worked for the European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co.'s Eurocopter unit of selling information to a Russian intelligence agent. The man has been given an 11-month suspended sentence. A court statement says mechanical engineer Werner Franz G. was convicted Monday of selling handbooks and other details on civilian helicopters to a Russian agent in Austria from 2004-2006 for €13,000 (US$20,000). The man confessed during his trial and expressed regret. The court says the man cooperated with authorities and led them to his Russian contact in Salzburg. The contact was never prosecuted because he had diplomatic immunity. JPRS Paris _________________ JPRS |

Bonjour, Premium Passenger Growth Stalls Y a pas que les 777 en souffrance de fuel qui décrochent... http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/ ... annel=comm " For now, Bernstein said, the former remains the bigger factor. “This is not everybody jumping all off an airline and jumping on a business jet,” he said. “They’re moving from the front of the plane to the back of the plane.” But the statistics also show that business aviation alternatives—such as fractional ownership, pre-paid flight card programs and other new business models that lower trip costs—are having an increasing effect. The consultancy counted about 16 million one-way trips taken on business jets and turboprops in 2007, which equals about 41% of the number of trips taken by premium airline passengers on commercial carriers that year. Just eight years ago, that figure was only 16%, it noted. " Si je comprends bien : soit les premiums passent en éco comme tout le monde, soit en vol à la demande... Ca enlève un petit paquet de beurre dans les épinards en ce moment ou les compagnies en ont besoin... Attention s'applique uniquement aux US, et finalement certainement plutôt en vol intérieur, sinon SIA n'aurait pas reconfigurer ses A345 Enfin, DOP du matin (chagrin) : Densification à prévoir dans les avions.

Bonsoir, chers tous ! Que pensez-vous de ceci, après toutes les aides publiques et de Boeing & GE ( GECAS), que Air Canada a obtenues, pour les finacements des B777-300ER (-200LR ? ) et B787 ? Je pense principalement au feed-back de lequebecois et de beochien,....mais le topic provoque des réactions bien au-delà du Canada !

Bonsoir Gestion de crise ... type US ... normal sans plus .. Mais ça me fait penser un peu à AF quand ils vivaient de subsides de l'état, et asservissaient et plumaient les pax sur les Dom-Tom pour se refaire une santé ... Bon, toucher avec subsides, US, les avions les plus économiques du moment ... et ne pas s'en servir .... et virer 2000 personnes !! C'est un peu dommage !! JPRS Paris _________________ JPRS |

Bonsoir, dupont ! Oui ! Nous savons ceci depuis pas mal de temps ! Merci pour la mise à jour. Air DECCAN, notamment en avait été frappé il y a plus d'un an ! Mais, cet extrait traite du marché intérieur, principalement, n'est-ce pas ? Les données ne sont pas les mêmes à l'international / sur le "long-haul" ! |

Cela devait venir ! On l'attendait ! Lien : http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1213720007.html Airlines To Call For US Curb On Oil Speculators June 17, 2008 US airlines, battered by skyrocketing fuel prices, will on Tuesday call for urgent congressional action to stem what they believe is excessive speculative trading in oil markets. ................... James May, president and chief executive of the leading trade group for commercial airlines, the Air Transport Association, will tell Senate lawmakers at a hearing called to investigate complaints about speculators that 2008 could be the worst year ever financially for airlines. "If Congress does not act soon, this country will not have a viable airline industry," May said in a statement. May plans to outline what his group calls the importance for "urgent, critical government oversight" of commodities futures trading. Si les USA optent pour une telle action, ... combien de temps avant de voir l'UE suivre le même chemin ? ---------------------- ...... The top US oil market regulator and officials from leading futures exchanges will also testify at Tuesday's joint Senate hearing. Many US lawmakers - mostly in the Democratic majority - see excessive speculation as the main culprit for increased prices. The Bush administration is looking into speculation, but believes oil price spikes are being driven by the fundamentals of world supply and demand. Even if speculation accounts for a fraction of price increases, airlines would welcome any government relief.................. "How much fluff is in the market because of speculation is anyone's guess," said Robert Mann, an airline industry consultant who believes airlines are in a fix partly of their own making. He notes that airlines, in most cases, failed to adequately hedge their long-term fuel purchases and have not invested nearly enough in fuel-efficient aircraft. Et maintenant, elles n'ont pas les moyens de faire ces investissements ! .......................... Mann also said a reliance on smaller planes in recent years at major airports and over-scheduling have generated less revenue and worsened congestion and delays, which wastes enormous amounts of fuel. Wow ! Se fait-il l'avocat de l'A380 ? (Reuters) |

Le pays de l'économie libérale qui pourrait faire machine arrière ? Lien : http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/20 ... ation.html DATE:17/06/08. SOURCE:Airline Business Former American Airlines chairman Crandall proposes industry re-regulation By David Field Robert Crandall, the former chairman of American Airlines and a significant voice in the US airline world, is calling for re-regulation of the industry. In a mid-June speech delivered to the Wings Club in New York, Crandall said: "Three decades of deregulation have demonstrated that airlines have special characteristics incompatible with a completely unregulated environment." He suggests that airlines be forced to charge fares that add up the legs of a trip, an idea that would penalise connecting hubs like the big ones he championed at Dallas/Fort Worth or Chicago O'Hare. Anti-diluvien ! Il n'a pas compris que, plus on change d'avion, plus il y a de réductions, ...., et moins le billet est cher ? ................... Crandall claims his proposal is less intrusive than full pricing regulation and is needed "for government to help the industry achieve compensatory pricing while simultaneously responding to the increasingly pressing need to increase the industry's fuel efficiency". He also urges, as he has in the past, reform of the bankruptcy laws to prevent quick trips in and out of reorganisation. "Bye-bye Chapter 11" ? -------------------- Crandall proposes exemptions to the US antitrust laws to allow more industry collaboration to "achieve more intensive asset utilisation and more efficient operations". That dovetails with Crandall's suggestion that airlines use government auspices "to reduce present schedules proportionally to each carrier's present frequency share. Doing so would create pressure to use the largest feasible aircraft in each slot." Se fait-il l'avocat de l'A380 ? ----------------------- He also urges reform of the labour laws to incorporate binding arbitration. ........ Crandall says it "seems likely that the threat of binding arbitration would encourage both labour and management to adopt more moderate positions than has been true in the past, while simultaneously moving all airlines closer to labour cost parity". While some on Capitol Hill have said they regret their support of deregulation in 1978, Crandall's proposals are the most detailed yet. A suivre ! |

Bonjour AF JC Spinetta, en remets une couche et exige une réponse avant la fin de l'année ...pour une date de sortie !! Les écos, ils en veulent, surtout en conso ... !! Les perfs extras ils s'en foutent !! Et l'avion futur (Nouveau) grandit ... jusqu'à 240 Pax ?? (Bi-couloir ??) Ca pourrait bien vouloir dire que des Séries C feront l'affaire jusqu'à 130-140 pax ... par exemple ! - La quadrature du cercle si c'est pour la mid-décennie !! Avion plastoc 50/50 ... style A350 possible !! Plus moderne, difficile !! Ca va bouger, le drapeau noir est sur la marmite d' AF, d'autres vont suivre !! Bientôt une manif d'Airliners à Toulouse et Chicago ou Everett ?? ------------- Extrait ------------------ http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/20 ... essor.html But Air France chief executive Jean-Cyril Spinetta is urging manufacturers to "face reality" and accelerate plans "to meet the environmental needs of our passengers and our need to reduce costs", given the increase in oil prices. "Things are moving very quickly and dramatically. All of us have to work on a sustainable basis with oil at $100 per barrel or maybe $130 per barrel," says Spinetta. At current oil prices, he says manufacturers should not wait until a 20% fuel-efficiency improvement is technologically feasible because even a 15% improvement would bring significant relief. Air France operates around 150 Airbus narrowbodies and fellow group carrier KLM has 50 737s. But the larger seat segment is where Air France senior vice-president for new aircraft and corporate planning Pierre Vellay sees a most pressing requirement for the airline, and where he wants to see the manufacturers develop a larger, possibly twin-aisle, solution. "The priority is around the replacing the A320/A321s," he says. "Our plan is to move the requirement from 120-200 seats to 150-240 seats and to get the right model covering this family. It's more about the costs. We have no specific needs about range. We are not pushing for extra performance." He adds: "We would like to get the schedule given by the engine and airframe manufacturers by the end of the year," noting that knowing the timetable will then enable it to address its interim fleet requirements. Anita Polt, regional director in Boeing Commercial Airplanes' product marketing department, says that the airframer recently decided "that we need more time to study the emerging technology to come up with an airplane that is compelling enough to replace today's single-aisle aircraft", and that it will not come to market until at least "the latter part of the next decade".
