Mieux vaut tard que jamais ... les Air Bags dans les Avions, bientôt aux USA ! L'EASA à la traine regarde ... comme d'hab ! Un jour la SNCF et les Autobus qui sait ! Mais comme ces infractions ça ne rapporte rien à Bercy ... tout le monde s'en fout ! Combien de crash auraient fait moins de victimes avec ces équipements ... a votre conscience ! L'article complet ! Par ce que : Ca me plaît bien ! -------------- L'article FlightGlobal ------------------- http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/20 ... seats.html US airline may fit airbags in all aircraft seats By Kieran Daly An unidentified US airline is considering fitting its entire fleet with seatbelt-mounted airbags as the countdown begins to implementation of a long-awaited rule requiring new-build aircraft to meet tougher passenger safety standards. From October newly delivered aircraft in the USA must be equipped with seats capable of withstanding a 16g dynamic longitudinal acceleration in a crash and be configured to limit the risk of severe head injury. The European Aviation Safety Agency says it plans to issue an Advanced Notice of Proposed Amendment with similar language in the second half of this year, leading to a final rule in late 2010 or early 2011. In practice virtually all new seats have met the 16g requirement for several years, but the head injury criteria rule has proved more challenging. In some locations - primarily facing fixed bulkheads or behind non-articulating seats as found in exit rows - seats cannot meet the target of providing head injury criteria of less than 1,000 measured on a standardised logarithmic scale. Phoenix-based Amsafe Aviation has already supplied its seatbelt airbags to more than 30 airlines worldwide and devised a solution for the herring-bone business-class layouts used by Virgin Atlantic and others. Chief executive Bill Hagan says about 6% of seats are affected in typical airline layouts and will have to be removed or modified with airbags or another solution. Amsafe's product costs about $1,200 per seat and the company claims a seven- to 10-year service life, giving a payback period of a few days compared with the revenue loss of removing seats. Hagan says: "We are working with about 20 airlines that are impacted by the rule and none have airbags on their aircraft today. They are just using it on the minimum number of seats to comply. That is going to be the norm, but we are in serious negotiations with an airline that is thinking of doing a fleetwide retrofit because they think it is the thing to do and they want to be first." He notes that Cathay Pacific Airways has already fitted the system nose-to-tail in its Airbus A330 fleet, and adds: "The bigger picture is that once the flying public becomes aware of this then I think passengers will expect to have it. It costs 5-10¢ per segment. You would not buy a car if you did not have this technology in it." Amsafe claims that the airbag provides a head injury criteria of around 500, compared with a typical 800-900 for a 16g seat. It has had little interest from European carriers, however, raising the prospect of European airlines accepting aircraft for more than a year after US carriers without meeting the head injury criteria 1,000 limit. EASA says: "The idea is to follow the US rule, but it will not come out simultaneously. Due to the complexity of the transposition from JARs to EU operational rules, which are currently ongoing, it probably will not happen before 2010 or 2011."

Bonjour Sur toutes les radios depuis hier soir ! Air France se mets sur les rangs pour CSA (Cie Tchèque) en voie de privatisation ! Aéroflot sur le coup aussi! Plus 2 autres ... Peut être enfin, un bon coup sans trauma pour AF ! Un hub sur l'europe de l'est pour 150 millions € ?? Pas cher, et les Tchéques sont réputés sérieux ! Ca changerait du cirque Alitalia ! ----------- De Yahoo Biz L'Article ---------------- http://fr.biz.yahoo.com/23032009/290/ai ... e-csa.html Air France-KLM et Aeroflot intéressés par le tchèque CSA lun 23 mar, 15h33 Air France KLM et la compagnie publique russe Aeroflot ont fait part de leur intérêt pour la tchèque Czech Airlines (CSA). Le ministère tchèque des Finances a fait savoir lundi que quatre candidats avaient répondu à son appel d'offres indicatif. Outre Air France-KLM et Aeroflot, il s'agit d'un consortium dénommé Travel Service et conduit par Icelandair et Unimex Group, ainsi que du fonds de private equity Odien. Le gouvernement tchèque a lancé une procédure pour vendre les 91,5% détenus par l'Etat dans CSA. Les analystes s'attendent à ce que cette cession rapporte dans l'année jusqu'à cinq milliards de couronnes, soit plus de 150 millions d'euros. Air France-KLM avait indiqué dans la matinée qu'une éventuelle entrée au capital de Czech Airlines l'intéressait. Le groupe franco-néerlandais avait précisé qu'il remettrait dans la journée à CSA une lettre non engageante d'expression d'intérêt. Dans un communiqué, Air France-KLM avait indiqué que les offres fermes n'étaient pas attendues avant juin, après l'étude en profondeur de Czech Airlines par les candidats. Le ministère tchèque des Finances avait précédemment indiqué qu'il espérait choisir un repreneur d'ici la fin septembre. "Czech Airlines est un proche partenaire d'Air France-KLM, notamment au sein de l'alliance SkyTeam dont il est membre depuis 2001", a souligné Air France-KLM dans son communiqué. Son réseau, a noté la compagnie, permettrait notamment à AF-KLM de se renforcer en Europe centrale et en Europe de l'Est.

Bonsoir L'EU Bruxelles va imposer une baisse des charges et coûts de la nav aérienne en Europe, optimisation des charges, regroupement des pays etc ! Trés bien pour les écos par temps de crise ... Mais quid des taxes d'aéroports à la hausse pour compenser la baisse de traffique, bonjour les bandits organisés avec l'Etat derrière ! En attendant de distribuer les charges pour CO2 dés que la crise sera passée ! ------------- De Bloomberg ----------------------- http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... _dcQawWZ8c EU Approves Legislation to Cut Air-Traffic Charges on Carriers Share | Email | Print | A A A By Jonathan Stearns March 25 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union decided to press air-traffic control companies to reduce charges on airlines, seeking relief for an industry that faces a demand slump and new pollution limits. The European Parliament approved legislation that will lead to performance requirements for air-navigation service providers in the 27-nation EU. The goal is to prevent overcharging and spur cross-border mergers by breaking down national barriers. “This will have direct and positive implications,” said Marian-Jean Marinescu, a Romanian member who steered the legislation through the 785-seat assembly today in Strasbourg, France. EU governments have already signaled support for the law under a fast-track accord with the Parliament, making their final approval a formality in the coming weeks. The EU is mounting a fresh push to force down air-traffic charges of about 7 billion euros ($9.4 billion) a year in Europe. On a per-flight basis, that’s around double the rate in the U.S., where controllers handle twice as many flights. The new law bolsters a broader campaign to create a “Single European Sky” by eliminating surplus civilian air-traffic centers and scaling back national military no-fly zones. The EU is already pressing military authorities to open up air-force exercise zones, governments to merge airspace and controllers to use the same equipment. Revenue Loss Airlines ranging from Air France-KLM Group, Europe’s biggest carrier, to Ryanair Holdings Plc, the region’s No. 1 no-frills operator, are demanding an end to the fragmentation of Europe’s airspace as the recession wipes out revenue and the EU prepares to raise costs on the industry by capping carrier emissions tied to climate change as of 2012. The legislation establishes a framework for imposing binding performance targets on air-navigation companies such as the U.K.’s NATS Holdings Ltd., Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH of Germany and France’s DSNA. The European Commission, the EU’s regulatory arm that proposed the law last year, will now draw up specific requirements such as cutting costs and reducing flight distances by certain percentages. The commission will have the right to push those rules through an EU regulatory committee. To complement this, the new law also tightens requirements under existing EU legislation for groups of European nations to merge their airspace. The legislation imposes a 2012 deadline for countries to use such “functional airspace blocks,” or FABs _________________ JPRS |

Dans le même sens, Eurocontrol pousse vers le guidage ATC par GPS ! Une expérience limitée en cours ! Doubler le traffique ! Optimiser les itinéraires ! Optimiser les descentes en continu ! Tout va dans le bon sens ! La FAA sur les mêmes sujets outre Atlantique. --------- De AP , Extrait -------------- http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/ ... 3-15-50-44 European air agency launches new control system By SLOBODAN LEKIC Associated Press Writer BRUSSELS (AP) -- A new air traffic-control system designed to double the number of planes over Europe while cutting flight times and airport congestion was put into operation by the continent's aviation agency Monday. The system is meant to eliminate the necessity for planes to travel along "air lanes" corresponding to lines of ground-based radio beacons. The lanes have become the equivalent of aerial highways - flights are funneled in at one end and then wait in line to land at the other. Using Global Positioning Systems that track planes using satellites, the new system will eliminate the reliance on the radio beacons. Instead of placing a flight into an air lane, an air traffic controller can pick from a wide variety of routes between airports. By increasing the number of flights in the air while reducing wait times over airports, the new technology will save airlines about euro4 billion euros ($5 billion) a year in wasted fuel, according to the agency, Eurocontrol. It is also meant to increase safety. It will also allow for "continuous descent approaches," a technique whereby the aircraft essentially glide down to the runway from their cruise altitude, rather than face a series of step-down descents and speed changes. Experts say this too would save significant quantities of fuel. A similar network is being set up in the United States by the Federal Aviation Administration. The new flight-data processing system, based in Maastricht, the Netherlands, will initially control traffic only over Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and northwest Germany. Some 1.5 million flights are handled by the Maastricht Center each year, making it the second-busiest control center after London. Experts predict that air traffic in Europe will double by 2030, increasing from the current 10 million flights per year to 20.4 million. Eurocontrol said the new system should be fully operational by 2025. _________________ JPRS |

Un pilote aux commandes de la FAA ! Bien celà ! Report: Babbitt To Be Named FAA Administrator Source réservée ! Wed, 25 Mar '09 Former ALPA President Offered Job Weeks Ago, Sources Say It appears we're close to learning who the next person to lead the Federal Aviation Administration will be. Citing unidentified industry officials and others close to the matter, the Wall Street Journal reports former pilots union leader Randy Babbitt has been tapped to lead the agency. Babbitt served as president of the Air Line Pilots Association for much of the 1990s, and most recently served as an industry consultant -- first independently, then as part of the larger firm Oliver Wyman. He was first rumored to be a top candidate for the FAA job last month, as ANN reported. Reports indicate the Obama administration formally offered Babbitt the job weeks ago, pending a detailed background and financial disclosure vetting process. That timeframe has reportedly been moved up, however... as the lack of a full-time FAA Administrator has looked increasingly conspicuous in the face of a recent series of high-profile aviation accidents. Acting Administrator Lynne A. Osmus has filled the post since January; before that, Bobby Sturgell was the Bush administration's choice to succeed Marion Blakey, but his confirmation was shot down by the Senate... leaving Sturgell to fill the job in a lame duck capacity until a new presidential administration came to town. _________________ JPRS |

Streamlining chez Qantas ! Croissance Zéro, un 20taine de vieux avions, out, 90 upper management out, ect ! Réactifs chez Qantas, mieux que du côté technique !  Pas de comment sur les nouveaux avions ... Bon, entre Boeing et Airbus, les avions rentrent doucement .. ou pas du tout pour le 787 ! Et les indemnités plein pot ! Qui s'en plaindrait ! -----------------L'Article WSJ /Dow Jones ---------------- http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123797640041636507.html By BILL LINDSAY and DANIEL MICHAELS Qantas Airways Ltd. said Wednesday it will cut 90 senior-management positions across the airline as it streamlines operations, offering further evidence that even relatively strong carriers are getting squeezed by the global financial crisis. Qantas has fared better than most big airlines over the past year thanks to Australia's somewhat robust economy, limited competition in many markets and advantageous fuel-hedging policies. But competition is now increasing on some of its lucrative routes and Qantas faces a drop in traffic alongside other international carriers. [Qantas] Associated Press The Australian national carrier's core markets around Asia and the Pacific are among the hardest hit for air travel world-wide, the International Air Transport Association said Tuesday. In response, Qantas said it is cutting about 20% of its management and will also maintain a salary freeze and reorganize remaining managers. No top executives were cut, a spokesman said. "It is clear that the aviation sector faces considerable commercial challenges for the foreseeable future," Chief Executive Alan Joyce said in a statement. "Qantas must respond decisively to what is happening, and our response must begin with those of us who lead the company," he added. Mr. Joyce said the organizational changes will reduce the "numbers and layers" of the airline's management, "to develop a leaner, more fast-moving organization." The cuts come on top of about 1,500 job losses announced in July from Qantas's work force of more than 34,000. At that time the airline also cut capacity growth for fiscal 2009 to zero from 8%, said it would retire as many as 22 older planes, and closed call centers in the U.S. and U.K. in response to high fuel prices and slowing demand. In November, the airline made additional capacity cuts equivalent to grounding 10 more aircraft and halted all planned domestic market growth across its mainline and budget Jetstar airlines. While many carriers in the Asia-Pacific region posted losses last year, Qantas reported a net profit of 210 million Australian dollars (US$146 million) for its fiscal first half, ended Dec. 31. But lately, its average revenue per passenger has been falling as demand has dropped faster than Qantas shrank its supply of seats. In response, Qantas has shifted some capacity from its more upscale main brand to Jetstar, which has lower operating costs. _________________ JPRS |

Two months ago a group of Italian business leaders took over Alitalia, merging it with the smaller Air One, with Air France-KLM as a minority shareholder. Three Air France-KLM officials on Tuesday officially entered the board, and euro323 million ($435.86 million) in capital was transferred on Wednesday, CEO Rocco Sabelli said. Sabelli said he was "moderately satisfied" with the progress so far, noting that the long loss-making airline is burning cash at a lesser rate and is making progress toward its goal of earning a profit within three years. "Passengers are returning and the reservations portfolio allows us to foresee a good April and May," Sabelli said at a news conference. Alitalia is pledging to get passengers from the center of Rome to downtown Milan in three hours and 20 minutes with dedicated gates and speedier boarding -- a direct challenge to the Italian Railway's high-speed train, which will soon make the trip in three hours. The airline will offer passengers home pickup service at "competitive prices," Sabelli said. Noting that one-fourth of passengers on the Rome-Milan route make the round-trip journey on the same day, Sabelli said it would be less comfortable to do the same thing on a train. Premier Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday previewed the train's three-hour Milan-Rome service on Tuesday. "But even he flew to Milan on one of our planes," Sabelli noted. Alitalia also presented new investments in its aircraft. The company's industrial plan includes the purchase of 90 Airbus 320s by 2013 as the airline seeks to update its aging fleet. "After 10 years, Alitalia has started to invest in its fleet. This is the first of 80 new aircraft that we will put in service by 2011," Chairman Roberto Colaninno said (Message édité par Beochien le 26/03/2009 04h31) _________________ JPRS |

The company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of troubled insurance giant AIG, at the end of 2008 had deals in place with Airbus and Boeing to buy a total 168 new aircraft for delivery through 2019 with an estimated purchase price of $16.7 billion, 49 of which will deliver during 2009. Of the 168 aircraft on order, 74 are 787s from Boeing. "The original contracted deliveries were scheduled from January 2010 through 2017, but Boeing has made several announcements concerning delays in the deliveries of the 787s and has periodically informed us that our 787 deliveries will be delayed," says ILFC in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. "Current estimates indicate our first 787 delivery will be in July 2012." ILFC has signed leases for 31 of the 74 787s on order. The leases are subject to cancellation clauses related to delays in delivery dates. As of 15 March, there have been no cancellations. "We are in active discussions with Boeing related to delay compensation and penalties for which we may be eligible," says ILFC in its SEC filing.

BA-Iberia merger ... Des conséquences assez inattendues analysées par le Times! Déplacement possible des (Ou partie) des HQ BA vers Madrid ! Déja entendu à mots couverts il y a un mois ... Les G Britons chez les Ibéres ! Les Fats Cats au soleil ! Un excés de confiance dans la £ peut être .... ou les coûts du HQde Londres trop élevés ?? Et on reparle du "Double Hub" Je vois bien AF s'installer à Rome aussi ..; la Dolce Vita, ca peut tenter un jour ! --------------- le Times, Extrait ----------------- http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/b ... 963072.ece British Airways may be heading for Spain David Robertson The Government would not stop British Airways becoming a Spanish company as a result of a merger with Iberia, the Transport Secretary said yesterday. BA and Iberia, the Spanish flag carrier, are believed to be near to agreeing merger terms in talks that have been continuing since July. It is thought likely that the airlines would continue to operate as separate brands under a new operating company after the merger. However, it is not clear whether this parent company would be based in Spain or in Britain. Geoff Hoon, the Transport Secretary, said yesterday: “We would be completely at ease if the companies took this decision [to base in Spain].” Related Links * British Airways closes in on Iberia merger * British Airways set to make £150m annual loss The loss of a prominent company such as BA could be controversial in the UK but it is not thought to have been a significant problem in the negotiations between the carriers. Willie Walsh, the chief executive of BA, said two weeks ago that the only remaining area of concern was the financial control of the parent company. However, Mr Hoon warned the Spanish Government not to interfere in the negotiations. He said: “Using Heathrow and Madrid as a double hub with combined operations is a strategic advantage for the future and can be tremendously successful. But - and this is crucial in Britain - they are private companies. At one time, it was governments which decided what was the best thing to do. Frankly, I don't think that governments would be very good at making these types of decisions.” Although details of the merger have not been made public, it is expected that the new company will retain listings in London and Madrid. Mr Walsh is likely to remain chief executive and Fernando Conte, the chairman of Iberia, would become chairman of both airlines. Another potential sticking point is the share that each company's investors would have in the new entity. Reports in Spain have indicated that BA shareholders may hold only 55 per cent of the new company, down from the near-70 per cent when the proposed merger was announced.

Bâtir une flotte de 955 avions nécessite en effet de beaucoup s'endetter. Or, avec la crise financière, la dégradation de sa note par les agences de notation, et la crise du marché aérien, ILFC a du mal à faire face à ses obligations et, a fortiori, à trouver des fonds supplémentaires. Une des solutions traditionnelle d'ILFC était de se tourner vers sa maison-mère. Mais celle-ci n'est autre qu'AIG, l'assureur américain lui-même sauvé de la faillite grâce à 170 milliards d'argent public. Malgré ses difficultés, AIG a continué à soutenir sa filiale, lui accordant un prêt de 800 millions d'euros pour lui permettre de poursuivre ses activités en mars. Pour avril, AIG a accepté d'apporter 900 millions de dollars supplémentaires, dont le déboursement doit encore être approuvé par la branche new-yorkaise de la Réserve fédérale. Mais il en faudra vraisemblablement plus. "Sans soutien additionnel d'AIG ou de financement garanti d'une tierce partie", ILFC envisage donc une faillite. Boeing et Airbus en première ligne Une telle défaillance aurait des conséquences évidemment très négatives pour les deux principaux constructeurs d'avions. Dans son rapport annuel, ILFC indique en effet avoir commandé 168 appareils à Airbus et Boeing pour des livraisons d'ici 2019 et un montant estimé de 16,7 milliards de dollars. Pour la seule année 2009, 49 appareils doivent être livrés pour une facture de 3 milliards de dollars. Le cri d'alarme lancé par ILFC ne fait qu'illustrer les sombres prévisions de l'Association internationale du transport aérien (IATA) qui a indiqué mardi s'attendre à une "grande baisse" des livraisons pour Boeing et Airbus, ces prochaines années _________________ JPRS |

Un gros effet d'annonce à travers d'articles plus ou moins exacts ou bien traduits .... Jusqu'à une augmentation de 50% de l'autonomie, atribuée à l'Aéro .. Avec le mêmes moteurs ! Bonjour les magiciens ! Les spécialistes (De la magie)apprécieront ! Au Fait Moteurs Aviadvigatel ou RR RB 211 On ne sait pas trop ! Des avions govt donc peut être limités en pax ... Le 757, avion comparable, dans les choux ! Da ! Da ! QQ articles annonçant 8500 km (Pourquoi pas en charge limitée) et 10 000 km ... bon ...ferry range peut être! Abus de Vodka, ou Breakthrough techno! a voir ! --------------------------------------------------------------- Le plus sérieux ! http://www.interfax.com/3/479341/news.aspx KAPO to complete Tu-214 special-purpose airliner by early April KAZAN. March 16 (Interfax) - The Kazan-based Gorbunov Aircraft Production Association (KAPO) will complete the creation of a Tu-214 special-purpose airliner for the presidential air fleet by late March- early April 2009, the government of Tatarstan said in a press release quoting Nazir Kireyev, aircraft adviser to the Tartar prime minister. By its flight characteristics, the long-distance Tu-214 with a flight range of 8,500 km, ordered by the Russian presidents' property management department, has no analogues in the world. "The Tupolev designer bureau has confirmed its status as a highly qualified aircraft designer and KAPO has proved that it is fit to implement such projects," the statement quotes Kireyev as saying. Work to improve the model will continue in 2009-2010. In November 2005, KAPO received an order for six Tu-214s - two Tu- 214SP airborne relay planes, two Tu-214PU administrative jets and two Tu-214SUS communications planes. ------------------------ Le plus magique ! http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/7933/ Tu-214 with Record Flying Range Developed 17.03.2009 Engineers from Kazan modified a medium-range aircraft Tu-214, which now can cover distances over 10 000 kilometers. The aircraft is unique, since not a single airplane of the same class can show same parameters. Modified Tu-214’s flight range is half as much as basic model’s. Developers emphasize that the record is set due to enhancement of airplane’s aerodynamic properties, not weight reduction. Medium-range aircraft Tu-214 is batch-produced in Kazan since 2003. The airplane carries 210 passengers and meets all international quality standards. Source: ITAR-TASS ----------------------- Le plus détaillé ! http://www.eng.tatar-inform.ru/news/2009/03/16/23745/ KAPO makes president’s plane for coast-to-coast flights 16 March 2009, 16:15 (Kazan, March 16, Tatar-inform, Kristina Ivanova). The KAPO aircraft manufacturer will at the end of March commission the first plane for the President of Russia team, told journalists the advisor to the Tatarstan prime minister Nazir Kireyev. “By its performance, the plane – the Tu-214 medium-haul passenger jet – has no rivals across the world,” claimed Mr Kireyev. “The aircraft of the type has for the fist time been made able to fly higher than 10 thousand kilometers”. According to the advisor, the new airplane will be able to fly to New York and Tokyo without toppings. “The designers have made the aerodynamically perfect machine able to fly even farther with the same engines,” emphasised the advisor. “The Tu-214’s capabilities make it the world’s leader among the same-type aircraft.” The Tu-204 300 was capable of making flights of 9 thousand kilometers but had to be made smaller. “In the Tu-214 for the presidential team we have left the size but it now makes flights of 10 thousand kilometers and more.” Mr Kireyev assured that orders for the Tu-214 would be enough for three more years. “The price of the Tu-214 is double of the serial one,” the official specified. “KAPO is now to manufacture the second product, the Tu-334,” shared Mr Kireyev. “We will have to fight for the Tu-334 [a short-range airplane] to be placed with KAPO.” According to the advisor, the Tu-334 is in demand both in Russia and abroad. “The airplane offers the best conditions of all the short-range airplanes for governmental purposes,” he is convinced. “No other plane, that can appear in the Russian skies, has such capacity, flight and operational specifications, especially for transporting members of the government. The Tu-334 is the best option for the Emergencies Ministry and the border troops.” Nazir Kireyev went on to emphasise that up to 95 percent of the plane’s components were manufactured in Russia. According to the advisor, the first Tu-334 prototypes are intended to be made in 2010, while serial production would be rolled out by 2012. ------------------------- Le TU 334 arrive en 2012 aussi ! _________________ JPRS |
