Consegne e notizie sugli A380

[belumosi]

Eccoci.
Dopo soli 10 anni arriva la pala meccanica.
Minchia che flop di programma.

Va detto che verranno rottamati i due esemplari più problematici dell'intera produzione. Prova ne è il fatto che altri 2 esemplari ex SQ (o uno solo?) dovrebbero finire in HiFly.
Imho la storia dei 380 usati la deciderà soprattutto il prezzo del greggio.

Hi Fly (5K, Lisbon) has taken delivery of its first A380-800, Skyliner Aviation has reported.

Placed with the Portuguese ACMI/charter specialist's Hi Fly Malta (HFM, Malta) unit, 9H-MIP (msn 6) was ferried from Singapore Changi to Malta via Abu Dhabi Int'l on July 4. A formal unveiling event is expected in the coming days.

The former Singapore Airlines quadjet is leased from Doric Asset Finance and joins the rest of Hi Fly Malta's fleet of one A330-300 (in service for Thomas Cook Airlines UK) and six A340-300s which are in service for a variety of clients that include Norwegian, Estelar Latinoamerica, TAP Air Portugal, and Corsair International.

Earlier last month, German asset manager DS Aviation said it had attempted to find placements with British Airways, Hi Fly, and Iran Air for its fleet of off-lease ex-Singapore Airlines A380s - msn 3, 5, 8 and 10. However, it ultimately decided to scrap the aircraft given a lack of commercial consensus.

Risulterebbe che Aibus sia in trattative piuttosto concrete con compagnie cinesi per un ordine di A380.

Consegnato anche l'ultimo 380 a SQ. Oltre ai 58 esemplari per EK, gli unici aerei (realmente) in ordine restano i 3 ANA in consegna l'anno prossimo.

Il primo cliente di Hi Fly che usera' il 380 e' Thomas Cook.

Thomas Cook revealed as Hi Fly's first A380 customer

Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia has confirmed it is the first customer to wet-lease Hi Fly's Airbus A380.
The leisure operator tells FlightGlobal it is using the widebody for a one-off flight today between Copenhagen and Rhodes, to collect customers who have been delayed by IT problems at the Greek airport.
Thomas Cook says the "beautiful" jet was needed for "extra capacity to bring our guests back safely".
There are no current plans to use the A380 for any other flights, as Thomas Cook has a number of reserve aircraft based in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Scandinavia and the Balearic islands which can provide additional capacity.
Owned by Doric and registered in Malta, the Hi Fly A380 is an ex-Singapore Airlines aircraft configured with 471 seats. It is the first jet of the type to have been involved in a secondary-market transaction. FG

Quindi un sacco di menate per "adeguare" gli aeroporti a ricevere il balenone e poi arriva hifly e ci fa una RHO senza troppi scrupoli. Non so quanti 380 abbia visto il Diagoras, ma taxiway e pista sono le stesse da almeno 15 anni. Tra l'altro il PCN (codice che decifra quanto resistenti siano piste, taxiway e apron) non credo siano mai stati misurati; è riporato solo l'Actual mesurement in base alle operazioni pregresse degli operatori vari!

Norwegian sta attualmente utilizzando il 380 sulla LGW/JFK causa problemi ai motori dei 789.
Nei giorni scorsi, i passeggeri prenotati in J (che per Norwegian è una Y+) hanno avuta la fortuna di volare sulla vecchia J di Singapore, e qualcuno pure nella Suite! Poi la compagnia norvegese ha capito che forse era utile monetizzare la cosa e adesso vende l’UG a 320$ in amdata e 400$ al ritorno.

Future of the Airbus A380 on the Line as Emirates Considers A350 Switch

• Superjumbo orders may be swapped for newer A350 wide-body
• Decision would lead planemaker to shutter production line

A year after Airbus SE won what appeared to be a lifesaving order for its A380 double-decker, the flagship program’s future is once again on the line.

Gulf carrier Emirates may convert some or all of its most recent 20 superjumbo orders into smaller A350s, people familiar with the matter said. That would slash the backlog and lead Airbus to kill off a plane that’s had limited interest from other airlines, just 11 years after it entered commercial service.

Airbus would keep the superjumbo going until other outstanding orders for the model were fulfilled, mostly from an earlier Emirates deal, according to the people, who asked not to be named as the talks are private. But the move would ultimately mean shuttering a production line the manufacturer has fought to retain in anticipation of a revival in demand.

Wavering Pillar

Emirates accounts for 61% of outstanding A380 orders

Toulouse, France-based Airbus seemed to have secured the A380’s future when it agreed last January to sell as many as 36 planes to Emirates. Since then, though, it has struggled to find an engine maker willing to meet the carrier’s price and performance demands. An alliance of General Electric Co. and Pratt & Whitney showed little enthusiasm, while incumbent supplier Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc has failed to agree terms after months of negotiations.

Airbus said in a stock-exchange statement after markets closed Thursday that it’s in discussions with Emirates in relation to the A380 contract, which includes 16 options. Shares of the manufacturer traded 1.3 percent higher as of 9:11 a.m. in Paris on Friday.

Emirates, which is closely held, said talks were ongoing, while London-based Rolls-Royce declined to comment. The turbine-maker’s stock was up 1.8 percent.
Jefferies International aviation analyst Sandy Morris called the Airbus comments “bland, but ominous,” adding: “If a significant portion of the Emirates order is canceled we believe the A380 program must end.”
The airline’s planned move from capacity-constrained Dubai International airport to the new Dubai World Central hub around 2024 may be coloring its thinking about the need to have the very biggest passenger plane, Morris said.
Airbus is already cutting A380 production to eight aircraft this year, dropping to six annually from 2020. Even that plan relied on securing the latest Emirates deal, billed as program-saving when it was unveiled by the manufacturer’s then sales chief John Leahy.
Scrapping the superjumbo would end losses on each plane at the lower production level and free up factories for increased output of smaller models, but could also expose Airbus to a 1 billion-euro cash outflow from state funding that might need to be repaid, according to Morris.
The A380 had an unfilled backlog of 87 planes at the end of 2018, the analyst said, of which only the 53 ordered by Emirates and three by Japan’s ANA Holdings Inc. could be regarded as “robust,” he said, which some having sat on the books for years.

Loggerheads

Rolls and Emirates have been at loggerheads over the specifics of the engine accord, with A380s from the earlier order becoming a bargaining chip as the Dubai-based airline initially refused to take delivery of some aircraft.
The deal now under review was delayed amid wrangling over the engine contract, with Emirates calling off an announcement at the 2017 Dubai Air Show. The sale was revived three months later after the two sides struck an agreement that left final terms undecided.

Even as other carriers lost interest in the A380, Emirates has been reluctant to give up on a plane central to its strategy of tapping Dubai’s location at a natural global crossroads to become the world’s biggest long-haul carrier. President Tim Clark has been one of the most vocal backers of the jet, which the company loads up with as many as 615 passengers for globe-trotting trips.
A switch to the A350 would revisit a 2007 order that Emirates canceled in 2014, saying it wasn’t convinced the plane matched its requirements. The state-owned airline had agreed to buy 50 A350-900s and 20 larger -1000s for delivery starting this year, worth $16 billion at the time.
Adding the smaller plane, which features composite wings and two engines, making it more fuel efficient than the four-turbine A380, would give Emirates a three-model lineup. As well as being the No. 1 superjumbo operator the carrier also has the biggest fleet of Boeing Co. 777s and is the leading customer for the upgraded 777X model.

Se ricordo bene il suo problema come cargo era sullo scarso playload in confronto ai volumi disponibili tale da renderlo antieconomico.
