Gulf Air's restructured Boeing and Airbus fleet
billion6 .7orders total USD Gulf Air announced, on the first day of the Bahrain International
Airshow 2016, restructured orders of 45 aircraft with Boeing and
Airbus in deals worth a combined total of USD 7.6 billion. The
orders consist of 16 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, 17 Airbus
A321neo and 12 Airbus A320neo aircraft.
The deliveries of these aircraft will commence from Q2 2018.
The orders follow extensive negotiations with both aircraft
manufacturers to revise Gulf Air's previous orders with Boeing
and Airbus . The restructured orders will simplify Gulf Air's future
wide-body fleet to Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and ensure its
future narrow-body fleet will largely focus on A320neo Family
aircraft.

KLM’s flights from Oslo to be powered by new
.biofuelThis spring, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will start a new series of
flights from Oslo to Amsterdam powered by biofuel. The biofuel
forms part of an ITAKA* project, providing sustainable fuel for
worldwide’s first biojet supply via hydrant system at Oslo Airport.
The biojet supply is funded by the European Commission and
.SkyNRGbyfacilitated
With effect from today, biofuel will for the first time be available
via hydrant instead of the usual refuelling truck and will use the
existing infrastructure at Oslo airport. This is the result of
cooperation between Air BP and Avinor, the Norwegian airport
operator at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.
The biofuel flights are part of KLM’s initiatives to reduce its CO2
emissions. As ITAKA’s launching customer, I’m delighted to
confirm that KLM plans to continue its involvement with ITAKA by
using the new biofuel in Oslo. After cooperating previously with
ITAKA within the scope of a series of biofuel flights from
Amsterdam to Bonaire in 2014, KLM will use this fuel this spring
to initiate a new series of flights from Oslo to Amsterdam. The
flights will be operated using KLM Cityhopper’s Embraer
190sInka Pieter, Director CSR & Environmental Strategy at KLM
In addition to using biofuel from the hydrant system, some of the
biofuel for KLM will be delivered by refuelling trucks. In
cooperation with Embraer, biofuel efficiency will be assessed in
comparison with kerosene. KLM previously conducted similar
tests in cooperation with Boeing and Airbus.
.
http://www.atn.aero/
(Continue)KLM’s current aim is to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% in 2020
(compared to 2011 levels) through fleet renewal, using
sustainable biofuel and increasing flight efficiency. KLM is best in
class when it comes to fuel efficiency and is leading in using
sustainable biofuel.
The flights have also been made possible by the partners of the
Corporate BioFuel programme, which this week expanded
. The corporations that participate in the include ABN AMROto
KLM Corporate BioFuel Programme pay a surcharge that covers
the price difference between sustainable biofuel and traditional
kerosene. This investment is fully utilised by KLM to purchase
sustainable biofuel, which is added to the fuel pumped into KLM
aircraft at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and elsewhere, like Oslo.
Consequently, the participating corporations reduce CO2
emissions resulting from their business travel, but also contribute
to the further development of the biofuel market.

companies, was established to produce sustainable biofuel for use in aviation. ITAKA is a cooperative project funded by the European Commission. The project aims to produce sustainable, renewable jet fuel and to test its use in existing logistics systems and during regular flight operations within Europe.

Cargo market weakness drives Boeing to reduce
production8 -747Boeing will reduce the production rate of the 747-8 to 0.5 aircraft
per month—or just six per year—starting in September 2016,
citing softness in the global air cargo market.
The 747-8 is now being produced at the rate of 1.3 aircraft per
month and the rate was previously slated to drop to one per
month in March.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Ray Conner
said in a statement that the ―air cargo market recovery that began
in late 2013 has stalled in recent months and slowed demand for
.‖freighter8 -747the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes VP-marketing Randy Tinseth said,
―The 747-8 and its future are tied to the cargo marketplace, and
frankly this is a market that’s been up and it’s been down over
the last few years. Unfortunately, in the middle of 2015 that
market started to soften.‖
He added that the ―lower rate … allows us to capture the [slower]
growth in the market we expect over the coming years. In
addition, it allows us to bridge to an upcoming replacement cycle
of older 747 aircraft … Today there are more than 200 old 747
freighters in operation. The 747-8 is the perfect replacement for
those aircraft and the replacement cycle should begin later this
decade.‖
Boeing Commercial Airplanes will take an $885 million pre-tax
charge tied to the 747-8 rate slowdown. ―The earnings charge
will not affect the company’s 2015 revenue or cash flow,‖ Boeing
said.

initial CS100 in the first half of 2016.
―We were supposed to receive the first aircraft in December 2013,‖
Gulf Air’s acting CEO Maher Salman Al Musallam said as the Bahrain
International Air Show opened. ―We’re supposed to be the launch
customer in the Middle East—that’s how they are referring to us.‖
―We are going to meet with them very soon to look thoroughly
through the contract [and at] the regional jet concept that led Gulf Air
into buying the CSeries. This concept needs to be studied completely
… whether it’s going to be viable for Gulf Air to continue to
renegotiate a delivery date with Bombardier or something else.‖
He anticipated a decision would be made around March.
When development of the CSeries began it had promised around a
20% fuel saving on the Airbus A320 family, Al Musallam noted.
However, Airbus was now introducing the modernized, re-engined
A320neo, which it said would deliver a 16%-17% improvement in fuel
costs on its predecessor.
Gulf Air operates two Airbus types, the single-aisle A320/321 and the
twin-aisle A330-200, with a fleet size of 28 aircraft. It announced
major orders for the A320/321neo, plus an amended order for the
Boeing 787-9 earlier this week.
―I don’t know, as a small airline, whether we are able to operate a
third type or not. This is a big decision,‖ Al Musallam said.

Invest for €100,000 ($108,756), subject to regulatory clearances
and other conditions.
Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SSH) and Bad Asset Management
Co. (BAMC) hold the Adria Airways shares on behalf of the state.
In a statement issued on Jan. 19, SSH and BAMC said they have
signed a ―share purchase and sale agreement‖ with 4K Invest,
after the investor offered the best bid for the airline.
―At the general meeting of shareholders of Adria Airways on Jan.
19, 2016, this transaction was put into execution,‖ they said. ―The
capital increase and the sale process are expected to be
completed in the following few months.‖
Under the deal, Adria Airways will undergo a €4.1 million capital
increase. Slovenia will contribute €3.1 million to this total,
boosted by a further €1 million from 4K Invest.
SSH and BAMC said Adria Airways has been facing business
and financial problems for ―quite some time.‖ However, it added
that Slovenia’s share of the capital increase is lower than
estimated and cheaper than Adria Airways declaring bankruptcy,
which would trigger redundancies and result in unemployment
benefits. Adria Airways contributes around €10 million to the
national treasury in taxes alone.

three hours in November, and one international flight had a
tarmac delay on US soil exceeding four hours during the month.
DOT is further investigating the month’s reported delays.
Of the delayed US domestic flights, the longest tarmac delay
involved a Nov. 8 Alaska Airlines flight from Ralph Wien Memorial
Airport in Kotzebue, Alaska, bound for Ted Stevens Anchorage
International Airport. The flight, which is normally a 91 minute
flight, spent 280 minutes on the tarmac before continuing on to
its destination. Three of the other delayed domestic flights
originated from the New York metro area on Nov. 14; all were
affected by an equipment failure at New York City area airports,
BTS said.
The delayed international flight involved a Nov. 21 Qatar Airways
flight which originated in Doha and was bound for Chicago
O’Hare. The flight, normally a 14 hour, 50 minute journey, was
