worldairliners 2013 - part 1WORLDAIRLINERSSPECIAL REPORTAirbusA320 familyLast month Airbus passed the 10,000-ordermark for its A320 family of narrowbodyaircraft. Although that event happened toolate to be included in our data below, it is another mark of success for the twinjet. Asidefrom the healthy backlog for the current-generation A320 family, orders have been quickto accumulate for the re-engined Neo variantas well since its late-2010 launch.The European airframer has opted for minimal changes over the current iteration, in preference to an all-new single-aisle. The big difference is in the next-generation engines, eitherthe CFM International Leap-1A or the Pratt &Whitney PW1100G. Together with the use ofits large sharklet wing-tip devices, the changesoffer a claimed 15% reduction in fuel consumption, nearly 2t of additional payload, upto 500nm (926km) of additional range, reductions in engine noise and emissions, andaround 8% lower operating costs.According to Airbus, engine core efficiencyadds a 7% improvement, the larger fan another 7% and powerplant integration yieldsanother 1% over the current A320.The Neo also gains the 2.4m- (7.8ft) tall sharklet wing-tip modifications. Therse are also anoption on new-build A320-family aircraft powered by CFM International CFM56 and International Aero Engines V2500 engines. The sharklets on the CFM56-powered A320 wereapproved in December 2012 by EASA. AllA320 family members and engine combinations have been certificated with sharklets.In August, this year Airbus received initialapproval of its onboard Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) for the A320 family.Already in service on the Airbus A380, it increases pilots’ situational awareness duringlanding, reducing the risk of runway excursion.Sizeable orders for the Neo variant this yearhave come from long-time A320 operatorEasyJet, Turkish Airlines and IAG for its lowcost subsidiary Vueling. Certification testingfor both the Leap-1A and PW1100G enginesare also now underway.

Operatingcost reduction, compared with the long-rangeA330-300, will be up to 15%, says Airbus.flightglobal.comflightglobal.comAirbus A350First flightOrders (total/2013)Deliveries (total/2013)In operationBacklogSPEC CHECKAirbus A350MTOW (t)Seats (two-class)Range (km)AirbusAirbusA330It will also benefit from the latest technologies incorporated in the Airbus A350 andA380. Expected introduction into service is2015 or 2016. The 240t higher gross weightmodels, starting with the -300, are scheduledto enter service in mid-2015.Airbus builds 10 A330s a month and expects to maintain this rate at least until 2015.The new and improved variants will ensurethat production of this aircraft will continuefor at least another 10 years, says the company, basing its confidence on the emerginglow-cost long-haul market and the high-density regional routes in most parts of Asia.There will be some overlap with the A350,which will begin to gradually replace theA330s from 2015. SriLankan placed an orderfor six A330-300s at the Paris air show, alongwith a commitment for four A350-900s.Other new customers for the A330-300 in2013 were Oman Air and Czech Airlines,which signed for three and two aircraft respectively in May. These followed a spate oforders in 2012, totalling 70 aircraft.Among 40 orders placed with Airbus inSeptember were 10 A330-300s from Delta AirLines, adding to its existing fleet of 32 aircraft.The first delivery is scheduled for the springof 2015. Delta will be the first airline to operate the enhanced 242t aircraft, which offersadditional payload capacity and range. MSN3, the second flig

The smaller -800 variant has notreceived any order for four years, as customers migrate to the larger -900.

Airbus claims that the aircraft will beable to cover most long-haul flights, typicalof intra-Asia routes. All A350 variants areequipped with the new Rolls-Royce TrentXWB engine.Airbus won orders and commitmentsfor 69 aircraft at Paris, headed by Air FranceKLM with 25 A350-900s, and repeat ordersfrom Singapore Airlines and UnitedAirlines.Recent contracts were placed by Lufthansa, which signed for 25 A350-900s and options for 30 more, with the flexibility to convert some of these to the larger -1000. BritishAirways contracted for 18 A350-1000s.Also, in September, Airbus made a significant breakthrough in Japan early in Octoberwhen Japan Airlines placed its first everorder with the airframer, signing an agreement for 18 A350-900s and 13 A350-1000s,plus options for a further 25 aircraft.

Theairframer had seen orders slowing dramatically, albeit that a deal at the Dubai show withEmirates for 50 more jets – not included inthese figures – has provided further reassurance for the programme.The commitment from Doric is seen as asignificant breakthrough, as it opens up a newroute to the market, giving airlines the opportunity to acquire the A380 under the flexibility of an operating lease agreement.Meanwhile suspect wing-rib feet are beingreplaced, but Airbus faces a hefty repair bill,as airlines seek compensation for lost revenue. The airframer has switched to a differenttype of aluminium and the problem should beeliminated on all aircraft delivered from 2014.Cabin odours experienced by Lufthansaduring engine start-up have been overcomeand minor adjustments to some systems haveimproved dispatch reliability.The accumulation of these minor issues,earlier delays and the falling exchange rate ofthe US dollar have had a marked effect on thebreak-even figure, which has increased from270 to 420 units.This indicates that it will be a struggle forAirbus to ever make money on its flagship airliner.
