Initial sales push is aimed at Europe, but the company hopes to penetrate the North American market if pilot scope clauses are relaxed. First flight is set for summer of 2008, with service entry in the fourth quarter of 2009. Brazilian rival Embraer is following a similar route, with two models that can be configured to seat more than 100. Analysts predict that aircraft in the 91- to 120-seat segment will account for 47 percent of deliveries over the next 20 years, as airlines hope to increase efficiency by replacing aging aircraft and expanding into mid-sized markets. Emerging markets, such as China, are also likely sources of customers. A Chinese manufacturer is developing a model that it says has been ordered in large numbers from many major Chinese carriers. A Russian manufacturer is also eyeing entry into the market, with a Russian Regional jet that began final assembly in March 2007.","PeriodicalId":171244,"journal":{"name":"Air Transport World","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114922129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although one of the two major manufactures described was indeed down due to well-publicized problems with the production of their two major aircraft types among other issues, the other posted its first out-selling of the former since the year 2000. The weaker-performing OEM also lost one of its non-passenger aircraft clients, which further lowered its sales. Current market estimates put the two manufacturers about even for 2007, with similar estimates for the following year. The problems for the lower-performing OEM were augmented by an investigation of the company's former CEO for insider trading. Additional problems arose in the manufacturing of planes, with a plant in Germany experiencing a massive demonstration by employees, who were balking at the prospect of potential layoffs. This is in contrast to the relative stability of the other OEM.","PeriodicalId":171244,"journal":{"name":"Air Transport World","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127975870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IATA is working with airlines to improve fuel efficiency and has developed a strategy to reduce time in the air by streamlining route structures and creating more optimum routes. Other measures include a Save One Minute campaign that hopes to raise awareness in the air traffic control community regarding the economic effects that its actions have on airlines. Minor adjustments could save the amount of time that an airliner is in the air and mitigate environmental effects as well. IATA is also working to identify airports in each of its seven regions that could benefit from redesigning its terminal airspace for greater efficiency.","PeriodicalId":171244,"journal":{"name":"Air Transport World","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134455314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One consultancy estimates that airlines are saving more than $100 million per year through the use of these parts. Observers expect their use to continue to increase and to affect how original equipment manufacturers price their replacement parts. Since 2000, there has been a radical restructuring in rules to permit wider use of parts that do not originate from the manufacturers, and some airlines are now working directly with the new suppliers to avoid being held hostage to monopolistic practices of the original equipment makers. Interestingly, low-cost carriers are not participating as widely in this. One reason is that legacy carriers have large engineering staffs, which can put their resources to the problem. Also, low-cost carriers tend to lock in low after-market costs when they purchase their equipment, and they are able to exert leverage in this respect because of the high volume of purchases this sector is making. More recently, the new suppliers have started moving into the key components for jet engines, which is prompting regulators to take a second look at permitted substitutions.","PeriodicalId":171244,"journal":{"name":"Air Transport World","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125665909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
