Airbus SE won one of its biggest-ever orders for 292 airliners worth more than $37 billion from four Chinese airlines, a coup for the European manufacturer as it tussles with Boeing Co. for dominance in Asia’s biggest economy.
In a contract worth USD 37 billion, the major Chinese airlines will purchase 292 aircraft from Airbus, the European aerospace company revealed on Friday.
Following its unique relationship with the Airbus A380, Emirates has stated its wish for Airbus to resume making larger aircraft. Speaking at a media roundtable in Doha, the airline’s CEO, Tim Clark, made clear his thoughts on the demand for larger aircraft in the future as demand for travel bounces back following the pandemic.
AirAsia has one A330-300, registered 9M-VVA. The 7.5-year-old aircraft has 377 seats, with 365 in the economy (mainly in a 3-3-3 layout) and 12 in premium (not completely flat). As you’d expect, it was previously operated by AirAsia X (registered 9M-XXW). After serving with X until the summer of 2020, it entered AirAsia’s employment in December 2021.
According to persons familiar with the situation, Airbus SE has emerged as the front-runner to win an aircraft order from Jet Airways India Ltd. valued up to $5.5 billion, strengthening the European planemaker’s position in the aviation industry’s fastest-growing sector.
European aircraft maker Airbus and a multinational industrial gases and engineering company called Linde have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (Mou).
Aer Lingus has declared that it has signed a lease deal for two new Airbus A320neo aircraft. This new generation aircraft will support the airline’s sustainability program. Aer Lingus, as part of IAG, has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and has committed to powering 10 percent of its flights operating sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.
First helicopter flight with Safran Makila 2 engines powered entirely by sustainable aviation fuel was accomplished by an Airbus H225 (SAF).
Airbus is helping the German Air Force in its long-term transformation to increase the sustainability of its aircraft fleet. Airbus is operating with the German Air Force towards providing the Luftwaffe with a technical allowance to commence national A400M flight trials with loads of up to 50 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the near term.
