Conferma da Airbus:

Qatar Airways selects 50 Airbus A320neo and 5 additional A380s

Furthering fleet growth with world’s most eco-efficient aircraft

15 November 2011 Press Release
The State of Qatar’s national airline, Qatar Airways, has selected the A320neo as the reference aircraft for expanding its short to medium haul fleet and has increased its order for the A380. The agreement signed at the 2011 Dubai Airshow, is a firm contract for 50 A320neo aircraft and five additional A380s.

The A320neo is an option for the A320 Family and incorporates new engines and large "Sharklet" wing tip devices, which together will deliver 15 percent in fuel savings, representing some 3,600 tonnes less CO2 per aircraft per year.

“The A320neo promises to be a great aircraft which is why we have chosen it to form the backbone of our future single aisle expansion. Together with our increase in A380s and our orders for A350 XWB, we are continuing investing in an integrated Family of the world’s most modern and fuel efficient aircraft,” said Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways CEO.

“Qatar Airways supported the development of the Airbus A320neo very early on. It is with great pride that we are announcing this large order today including an additional five A380s,” said John Leahy Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “We appreciate having built a unique relationship with our friends at Qatar Airways over the years.”

Qatar Airways has ordered a total of 43 A320 Family aircraft directly from Airbus and, including leased aircraft has 38 in its fleet. The last four of the A320s on order will be provisioned for “Sharklets” following a recently signed agreement. Qatar Airways’ total A380 order increases to 10 aircraft following its initial order for two made in 2003, which was later raised to five in 2007. Qatar Airways’ current in-service fleet also includes the region’s largest number of A330s (29).

The A320neo has over 95 percent airframe commonality making it an easy fit into existing fleets while offering up to 500 nautical miles (950 kilometres) more range or two tonnes more payload. The A320neo reduces fuel burn by 15%, which is equivalent to 1.4m litres of fuel – the consumption of 1000 mid size cars. This saves 3600 tonnes of C02 per aircraft per year, the amount of CO2 absorbed by 240,000 mature trees. The A320neo aircraft also has a considerably smaller noise footprint. Sales of the neo have reached over 1,200 orders and commitments in under a year, making it the fastest selling aircraft ever.

Typically seating 525 passengers in a three class layout, the A380 is capable of flying 8,300 nautical miles / 15,300 kilometres non-stop, enabling direct service from Qatar to New York. As of today total firm orders for the aircraft stand at over 240 from 18 customers worldwide.

Post-Spat, Qatar Goes For A380, A320NEO

Nov 15, 2011

By Robert Wall wall@aviationweek.com
DUBAI

Hours after publicly upbraiding Airbus, Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker made an about-face and signed a deal for up to eight A380s and 80 A320NEOs for a list price of $6.4 billion for the firm portion. The NEOs will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G geared turbofans.

Both deals have been long anticipated, but were thrown into doubt earlier today when Al Baker voiced unhappiness at this year’s change in the specification of the A350-1000 delay and over an “impass” on the deal he eventually signed - he would not detail what the disagreement was over, only saying it was not an issue of pricing.

Al Baker says Airbus is now reviewing that plan, which has also drawn fire from Emirates Airlines president Tim Clark. But Airbus chief operating officer for customers, John Leahy, says there are no plans to change the latest design. It has more range and payload than the 777-300ER, and 25% lower fuel burn, he asserts, adding that he plans to send a sales team to Doha to “explain” the specification of the aircraft.

The A320NEO deal is for 50 firm aircraft and 30 options, with the A380 deal split between five firm and thre options.

The A380 deal doubles Qatar’s order book for the type. The first aircraft is due in the second half of 2013, with the first from this batch of orders to arrive around 2015. The aircraft will have eight first class and 42 business class seats, with the rest in economy. The total count is around 515 seats.

The engine selection for the A380 is expected before the end of the month, with the selection process between the Engine Alliance GP7200 and Rolls-Royce Trent 900 almost complete, an airline official says.

The A320NEO “will be the backbone of our future single aisle expansion,” Al Baker says. Qatar Airways will be the first operator for the A319NEO, the A320NEO, and the A321NEO. The A320NEO will come first, in the second half of 2015, followed by the A319 and A321 each six months later.

Qatar is buying 30 A320s, 14 A321s, and six A319s.

Al Baker says the deal does not kill his interest in the Bombardier CSeries. “We are still interested in that airplane” and talks with Bombardier will resume once the current fleet purchases are resolved.

Il 2012 dovrebbe essere l'anno di consegna del bestione a British Airways (forse l'ultima major a non averlo). Se ne sa qualcosa in più?

United Continental Holdings is contemplating an Airbus A380 order, and while a final deal will take some time, Airbus expects the U.S. airline to adopt the double-decker for its extensive Asian network.

Airbus Chief Operating Officer-Customer John Leahy, speaking with Aviation Week yesterday after a market forecast presentation in Washington, asserted that United President and CEO Jeffery Smisek has changed his previously held view that the widebody was inappropriate for U.S. operators and now saw possibilities for the A380 in the new United fleet.

However, the Airbus executive issued a caveat when pressed on a pending United deal, noting, “I’m not saying there is an order soon, but United understands that if it wants to have a major presence in Asia it needs the A380.”

Airbus considers Boeing 747 operators as likely A380 customers, and in North America that means United and Delta Air Lines are candidates. However, Delta is no longer a target, having told Airbus it wants to focus on smaller widebodies, says Leahy. “That leaves United as our target,” he added.

Despite its popularity in Asia and the Middle East, the A380 so far has failed to generate much interest in the Americas, with North American carriers favoring a high-frequency schedule using smaller aircraft and Latin operators simply aware that the region’s current infrastructure is insufficient for such a large-capacity aircraft. But Leahy is adamant that the A380 will be adopted in the region, especially in the U.S. as traffic demands outstrip efforts to upgrade the country’s air traffic control system.

“I flew into JFK [John F. Kennedy International Airport] and it looked pretty crowded,” Leahy said during the presentation, which predicts a doubling of U.S. and Canadian demand in the next 15 years. “Are we going to double movements? That is why we are offering our A380,” he noted.

Airbus’s 20-year forecast is optimistic that North American carriers will realize this predicament and order 206 ultra-widebody aircraft (i.e. the A380) between 2011 and 2031 to relieve some of the pressure being placed on the largest, namely U.S., airports. At the same time, the region’s operators are also expected to order 4,970 single-aisle aircraft with more than 100 seats and 1,140 twin-aisle aircraft, spending some $648 billion at list price.

Ciao, al momento il sito di aw ha un problema con il server.
Secondo l'articolo United starebbe valutando l'acquisto dell' A380 per inserirlo sulle sue rotte Asiatiche.

Azz, anche loro? Chissà i poveri doc e asessa della situaizone che lamentele staranno subendo, però magari guadagnano meno di noi ;)

Sarebbe la prima americana, credo che un loro ordine, anche esiguo potrebbe avere molta importanza a livello commerciale.
