In response to dealing with some of the key issues affecting air traffic management, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in the U.S. has introduced the so called Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorisation (AIRR) Act, legisla-tion that establishes an independent, not-for-profit cor-poration, outside of the federal govern-ment, to modernise and provide U.S. air traffic control (ATC) services.

Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster said the AIRR Act is a six-year reau-thorisation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and maintains the FAA’s role as the nation’s avia-tion safety regulator. The federally

chartered air traffic control corpora-tion will be governed by a board rep-resenting the aviation system’s users and the public interest.

“The United States has led the world in aviation since pioneering

this modern mode of transporta-tion,” said Congressman Shuster.

“We have the safest system in the world, and we will continue to do so under this bill. But our system is incredibly inefficient, and it will

only get worse as passenger levels grow and as the FAA falls further behind in modernising the system. Furthermore, the FAA’s overly bu-reaucratic certification processes are handicapping American com-panies and causing us to fall behind

our competition.

The bill has been re-ceived with mixed views from across the aviation spec-trum with some expressing serious concerns. “The Re-gional Airline As-

sociation (RAA) opposes the AIRR Act in its current form. We cannot support an ATC entity that leaves an industry that operates 45 percent of the nation’s commercial flights

“This bill places tremendous cost pressure on the regional airline industry while leaving us voiceless in all decisions.”RAA President Faye Malarkey Black

It’s time to fix U.S. air traffic But new bill receives mixed reactions

737 MAX takes first flight and on schedule for first deliveryEquipped with the latest technol-ogy LEAP-1B engines from CFM In-ternational and Boeing-designed Advanced Technology winglets, the first member of the 737 MAX fam-ily completed a two-hour, 47-minute flight, taking off from Renton Field in Renton, Wash., at 9:46 a.m. local time and landing at 12:33 p.m. at Seattle’s Boeing Field. The first flight of the 737 MAX carried the crew across the threshold of a new century of innova-tion, according to Boeing – “one driv-en by the same passion and ingenuity that have made this company great for 100 years,” said Boeing Commer-cial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner. “We are tremendously proud to begin testing an airplane that will deliver unprecedented fuel efficiency in the single-aisle market for our cus-tomers.” With the other three mem-bers of the 737 MAX 8 flight-test fleet currently in different stages of final assembly, the 737 MAX remains on track for first delivery to Southwest Airlines in the third quarter of 2017.

UK Met Office in partnership with easyJetThe Met Office in the UK announced a new five year partnership with low cost carrier easyJet to provide dedi-cated meteorological services.

Virgin flies Doric aircraft for further 18 months

Doric issued its first aircraft fund in 2006. The lease agreement with Virgin for the Airbus A340 has been extended by 18 months until July 2018 - initial term was for just over 10 years. Since delivery in 2006 and up until the end of 2015, the aircraft with registra-tion number G-VFIZ completed some 5,077 flights, racking up 44,968 hours in the air, while the aver-age flight duration was about n hours. The aircraft is used on routes between London and Los Angeles, New york and San Francisco, among other destina-tions. The annual distributions to investors have stood at 10 percent for the past few years, which is 2 percentage points higher than originally forecast.

AIRCRAFT & ENGINE NEWS ATR signs major agreement with Iran Air for 40 ATR 72-600s

ATR and Iran’s national flag carrier, Iran Air, have signed a deal in Teheran for the acquisition of 40 newest-generation ATR 72-600s. The agreement includes firm orders for 20 aircraft plus 20 options, and is valued at €1.00bn (US$1.09bn). The signing of the deal follows commercial discussions held during the past few days in Rome and Paris on the occasion of the visit of the President of Iran, H.E. Mr. Hassan Rohani, and the Minister of Transportation of Iran, Mr. Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi. During the negotiations the Italian and French states played an important role in achieving the signing of this deal through the participation of their export credit agencies, Sace and Coface respectively.

without representation in the proposed new corporation.

“This bill places tremendous cost pressure on the regional airline industry while leaving us voiceless in all decisions made under the new ATC Corporation. It is particularly concerning that the bill leaves questions about charges and fees unanswered, with variables like the role of weight, distance, or other factors important to regional airlines to be determined by a govern-ance board dominated by mainline air carrier representatives.

“The success of our airlines’ mainline partners is critical to our own industry’s health,” said RAA President Faye Malarkey Black. “However, regional airlines play a very important -- and a very distinct – role in providing the nation’s air service. Regional airlines must have their own clear voice in this process.”

The American Federation of Government Em-ployees (AFGE), American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS), the unions representing thousands of employees at the FAA released a statement, in part saying:

“Making massive changes to the FAA’s structure is neither a prudent nor responsible decision to move the agency forward. Privatising the FAA will only add uncertainty and potentially reverse major advancements that have been made over the past several years toward modernisation. It is paramount to ensure that the FAA has a con-sistent and adequate funding stream. However, this does not require changing the entire struc-ture and turning it over to a private corporation to make funding and governing decisions, pos-sibly subjecting the system to economic down-turns and financial hardships.”

parts of the facility and beyond the facility. Before installation of the chambers, Jet Aviation St. Louis completed a sophisticated, computerized climate-control system. The system analyzes the air in the paint hangar and precisely sets the temperature, humidity and dew point to the proper levels to maximize paint application, drying and curing. This kind of climate control is necessary when applying today’s high-solid paints that provide better cover-age, which along with the use of safer peroxide-based strippers and modern primers is another step toward making the process as “green” and environmentally-friendly as possible.

Singapore Technologies Aerospace com-pletes additional investment in Elbe Flug-zeugwerke GmbH

Singapore Technologies Aerospace has completed its investment of an additional 20% equity inter-est in Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW). The in-vestment was completed following the receipt of regulatory approvals and fulfilment of customary conditions beforehand. Following this completion, EFW has become a subsidiary of ST Aerospace, with the latter owning 55% of the shareholding and Air-bus Defence and Space GmbH (Airbus) holding the remaining 45%. The additional investment saw the launch of the collaboration between Airbus, EFW and ST Aerospace for the A320/A321P2F passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion program in June 2015. This follows a similar collaboration for the A330P2F conversion program launched in 2013. EFW, based in Dresden, Germany, has a current staff strength of over 1,000 and annual revenues of over €200m (US$216m). Apart from being the exclusive supplier for composite flat panels to Airbus for all Airbus aircraft, the company will serve as ST Aerospace’s center for passenger-to-freighter conversions, air-craft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), as well as engineering services in Europe, leveraging ST Aerospace’s global network, track record and ex-pertise in aircraft MRO and engineering.

WestJet has released fourth quarter and year-end results for 2015, with full-year net earnings of CA$367.5m. This compares with the adjusted net earnings of CA$317.2m reported in the full-year 2014, up 16% and 19%, respectively. For the fourth quarter, the airline reported diluted earnings per share of CA$0.51, down 27% from CA$0.70 reported last year.

Spirit AeroSystems reports fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 financial results

Spirit AeroSystems has reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 financial results driven by strong operating performance of mature pro-

FINANCIAL NEWSgrams. Spirit’s fourth-quarter 2015 revenues were US$1.61bn, up 2% from revenues of US$1.57bn for the same period of 2014, primar-ily due to higher revenues on the A350 XWB program driven by higher production deliveries. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was US$206m compared to operating loss of US$273m in the fourth quarter of 2014 primar-ily due to the Gulfstream divestiture. Net income for the quarter was US$138m compared to net loss of US$106m in the same period of 2014. Revenue for the full-year 2015 declined 2% percent to US$6.6bn primarily due to the Gulf-stream wing divestiture and lower revenues rec-ognized on the 787 program. Operating income for the full-year was US$863m compared to op-erating income of US$354m for the prior year. Full-year net income was US$789m, compared to net income of US$359m in 2014.

SkyWest reports improved full year and 4th quarter results

SkyWest reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2015, including ad-justed net income of US$25m, up from adjusted net income of US$15.7m. GAAP net income for the quarter was US$40m, compared to a loss of US$28m for the same quarter of 2014. Adjusted net income for the full year 2015 was US$103m,

up from adjusted net income of US$7m in 2014. GAAP net income for the full year 2015 was US$118m, compared to a net loss of US$24m for 2014. The GAAP results for the fourth quarter 2015 include two special items totaling US$25m in pre-tax income: a net gain of US$33m from the early extinguishment of debt and US$8m revenue reduction from the resolution of a fly-ing contract matter. Both of these special items are excluded from the calculation of SkyWest’s adjusted net income for the quarter.

Ryanair profit up €54m for third quarter 2015

Ryanair has posted 3rd-quarter profits of €103.0m (US$111.2), a 110% increase on the previous year. Traffic grew 20% to 25m passengers as average fares fell 1% to €40.00 ((US$43.20) load factors rose 5% points to 93%) while unit costs fell by 5% (ex-fuel down 1%). “We are pleased to report that our low fares policy delivered strong 3rd quarter traffic and profit growth. Following a strong first half of the 3rd quarter, we noted weaker pric-ing and bookings immediately after the terrorist events in Paris and Brussels. We reacted to this softness by running price promotions and dis-counted fares to stimulate double digit traffic growth. While average fares fell 1% (previously guided flat pricing), this was offset by lower unit costs,”said Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary.

F-35 airframe begins third phase of structural testing

A third phase of dura-bility testing on an F-35 Lightning II airframe is due to begin at BAE Sys-tems Military Air & In-formation site in Brough, East yorkshire. Each phase of testing, lasting a total of 8,000 hours, is equivalent to an entire lifetime of the airframe once it enters service. Two complete ‘lifetimes’ of the airframe – equiv-alent to 16,000 hours – have already been completed on a Conventional Take-Off and Landing (CTOL) variant airframe at the Company’s structural test facility, and the third set of tests will commence in early 2016. These tests prove the airframe will be able to safely handle a variety of flying conditions it could experience when in service. The 350-tonne airframe structural test rig at the Brough site was built to ‘fly’ the F-35 Lightning II through a series of flight scenarios. More than 20 miles of wiring, 2,500 strain gauges and 160 loading actuators are designed to subject the aircraft to a range of loads that it could typically encounter in actual flight.
