The multi-billion dollar order is split between 12 Airbus A350s and 12 Boeing 787s, which will arrive from fiscal 2027 and into the next decade, Qantas said. Qantas said the deal was aimed at providing a replacement for its current Airbus A330 and Airbus A380 aircraft. This has the potential to meet up to 90% of the group’s interim SAF target for 2030, Qantas said. "SAF reduces lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80 per cent and is a key part of Qantas’ emissions reduction plan," it said. Reuters earlier in the week had reported, citing industry sources, that Boeing was nearing a deal for its 787 Dreamliner aircraft with Qantas.

Rollemberg said the government-sponsored bills would be focused on four main topics: establishing a new carbon market, regulating offshore wind power, launching the "Fuel of the Future" project and regulating green hydrogen. That bill might be submitted to Congress as early as next week, the secretary said. It's more than enough time for Congress to pass all the bills," Rollemberg said. The South American nation is set to host the U.N. climate talks in 2025 in the Amazonian town of Belem.

REUTERS/Amir Cohen/FILE PHOTO Acquire Licensing RightsJERUSALEM, Aug 17 (Reuters) - The United States approved a $3.5 billion sale of Israel's Arrow-3 missile defence system to Germany on Thursday, clearing the way for delivery in 2025 and full operational deployment by 2030, Israeli officials said. The U.S. is a partner in the Arrow project, which was developed jointly by the Israel Missile Defence Organisation and the United States Missile Defense Agency. The Germany deal, which would be Israel's biggest ever defence sale, follows a European arms build-up in response to Russia's war in Ukraine. While Patriot and IRIS-T cover the medium layer of air defence, Arrow-3 - in whose production Boeing Co (BA.N) is also involved - offers protection for the higher layer. Israel's Army Radio said the signing ceremony with Germany on the Arrow-3 sale was expected to take place in November.

☆ Cramer says don't get too caught up in top-down analysis

CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors on Monday not to solely rely on analysts' top-down, broad market assessments. According to Cramer, it's imperative to also pay attention to micro-analysis of a company's performance when buying individual stocks. "After all these years, I've come to know one immutable truth: There's no monopoly on stock market knowledge," Cramer said. Top-down analysts, Cramer said, might fixate on how the Federal Reserve's rate hikes might affect the company. Cramer stressed that he is not just "cherry-picking" names and instead said there are many companies that often defy macro expectations.

Shares of the company rose 7% to hit a 1-1/2 year high after Boeing also posted second-quarter results above Wall Street expectations. The planemaker is now transitioning its 737 production line - including the MAX models that make up the vast majority of 737 production - to building 38 jets per month, up from 31, the company said. Calhoun later added the company is already in "prep mode" to raise monthly 737 production to 42, but wouldn't specify whether Boeing would do so in 2023, as Boeing Commercial Airplanes head Stan Deal said told Bloomberg TV in June. 'ENCOURAGING' RESULTS AMID CHALLENGESA photo of Boeing 737 MAX airplanes parked on the tarmac at the Boeing Factory in Renton, Washington, U.S. March 21, 2019. Boeing expects to deliver most of the 228 MAXs in its inventory by the end of 2024, making it critical that Boeing step up production.

☆ Boeing boosts monthly 737 production to 38, posts upbeat earnings
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Shares of the company jumped 4% before the bell after the company also posted second-quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations. The push to build 38 MAXs a month comes amid heightened travel demand, as airlines seek to grow their fleets post-pandemic. Boeing Commercial Airplanes head Stan Deal said in June that the company would ramp up narrow-body production to 38 a month "very soon." Although Boeing set a deadline to ramp 737 production by the end of the year, executives signaled to its supply chain that the boost to 38 a month would begin in June. Those plans faltered in April when a supplier defect involving the improper installation of a 737 bracket was discovered, though Boeing maintained it would still ramp to 38 jets by year-end.

GE's aerospace unit, which makes engines for jets of Boeing Co (BA.N) and Airbus (AIR.PA), posted double-digit growth in orders, revenue, and operating profit from a year earlier. Its services revenue was up 31% in the second quarter from a year ago. The Boston-based company now expects 2023 adjusted profit per share of $2.10 to $2.30, compared with its previous forecast of $1.70 to $2.00. Free cash flow for the year is estimated to be in a range of $4.1 billion to $4.6 billion, up from $3.6 billion to $4.2 billion expected previously. GE said operating profit at its aerospace business was now expected to be in a range of $5.6 billion to $5.9 billion this year, up from $5.3 billion to $5.7 billion estimated earlier.

July 7 (Reuters) - U.S. private equity firm 777 Partners has said it is in talks with Boeing Co (BA.N) and Franco-Italian turboprop maker ATR over a new jet order, as it looks to enter more markets amid a boom in air travel. The talks come amid a rush for planes by airlines eager to tap into a greater-than-expected recovery in air travel. Earlier this year, Air India placed an order for 470 jets with Boeing and Airbus SE (AIR.PA) - which was later eclipsed by rival IndiGo's order for 500 Airbus planes. 777's business model involves buying jets and leasing them to airlines which it backs, such as Canadian low-cost carrier Flair Airlines and Australian airline Bonza.

☆ Boeing converted its 767 airliner into a military tanker that can refuel other planes midair — meet the KC-46A Pegasus
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-04 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Boeing's newest military tanker is the KC-46A Pegasus, which can refuel other planes in midair. Boeing is one of the world's leading defense manufacturers providing advanced military aircraft for the US armed forces and allied nations. While Boeing's defense arm is military-focused, it has used its commercial planes as a blueprint for production. One of its biggest — yet controversial — jets is the KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tanker, which was derived from the Boeing 767 widebody airliner. The Pegasus is Boeing's newest air refueler, having started production in February 2011 and sending its first to the US Air Force in January 2019.

REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File PhotoWASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - Spirit AeroSystems (SPR.N) said it would begin resuming operations at its plant in Wichita, Kansas, on Friday, after union workers on Thursday voted to accept a new contract and end a strike that led to a week-long work stoppage. The deal is a boon for Boeing, which is on the verge of increasing MAX production from 31 jets to 38 jets per month. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said on June 18 the production ramp was set to occur "pretty soon." Although Boeing maintains some buffer inventory, analysts had warned a prolonged strike could have forced the company to slow or stop MAX production. The company has been the source of several high-profile production defects on Boeing jets, such the incorrect installation of a bracket on the 737's vertical tail.

New York CNN —Spirit AeroSystems, a key supplier to Boeing, is set to reopen next week after members of the International Association of Machinists voted Thursday to ratify a tentative labor agreement and end a week-long strike. Members voted 63% in favor of the four-year agreement, according to vote results announced Thursday. It’s the first new contract that the union members at Spirit have had in 13 years. The union had put the company’s previous offer up to a vote earlier this month. But rank and file members rejected that offer with 79% of members voting no, and 85% voted to strike, the union said.

PARIS June 18 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) expects to increase production of its best-selling 737 MAX to 38 jets a month "pretty soon," but the company is likely to see supply chain instability at every rate increase, the head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) said Sunday. However, he warned that the supply chain continues to be a challenge, with new issues constantly being found. While there was instability as industry increased production rates prior to 2019, “this is a little different," Deal said. "COVID had a pretty significant impact on labor, and this industry still depends on labor ... to get to its net efficiency." Boeing has started a supply chain quality review, with participants including CEOs and other C-suite officials, as well as quality and engineering officials from Boeing's tier-one supply chain that creates major aero-structures and sub-assemblies, Deal said.

☆ US requires new passenger planes have secondary flight deck barrier
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Wednesday it is requiring that new passenger airplanes have a secondary barrier to the flight deck to prevent intrusions. The final rule, which was first proposed in July, requires aircraft manufacturers to install a second physical barrier on planes used in commercial passenger service in the United States. The FAA said the additional barrier will protect flight decks from intrusion when the flight deck door is open. After the hijacking of four U.S. airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, the FAA adopted standards for flight deck security to make them resistant to forcible intrusion and unauthorized entry. The FAA in 2007 set rules to address flight deck security when the cockpit door was opened, including requiring the door be locked when the airplane is in operation, unless necessary to open it to permit access by authorized persons.

Companies Boeing Co FollowJune 7 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) was sued on Wednesday by a Colorado company that accused the aerospace giant of stealing trade secrets for NASA's Space Launch System rocket, and then building components with "critical" safety flaws that could endanger astronauts. "Boeing has captured billions of dollars in revenue because of the infringement of Wilson's trade secrets," and must turn over "all revenues and profits Boeing has obtained as a result," the complaint said. Wilson also said Boeing stole trade secrets related to bolt installation tools for its 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Boeing has described NASA's Space Launch System as the most powerful rocket ever built, and "the backbone for a permanent human presence in deep space." The case is Wilson Aerospace LLC v Boeing Co, U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, No.

☆ Boeing warns new defect on 787 Dreamliners will slow deliveries

Boeing on Tuesday warned about a new defect on its 787 Dreamliner planes and that it will delay deliveries of the wide-body aircraft, the manufacturer's latest production issue. "We are inspecting 787s in our inventory for a nonconforming condition related to a fitting on the horizontal stabilizer," Boeing said in a statement. Near-term deliveries will be delayed by about two weeks, Boeing said. Boeing had paused deliveries of the planes for several weeks earlier this year because of a separate problem on a fuselage component on certain 787s. The latest issue currently doesn't affect Boeing's full-year outlook for Dreamliner deliveries, the company said.

June 2 (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (BA.N) CEO Dave Calhoun on Friday said progress on resolving supply chain problems has been "frustratingly slow" even as airlines' demand for planes has bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. Boeing has seen improvements in certain elements of its supply chain, such as engine forgings and castings, Calhoun said. "We've got to be smart about how we manage supply against that demand spike," Calhoun said at a Bernstein conference. Boeing regularly tracks 25-30 parts from a subset of suppliers that have previoulsy faced production headwinds. But surprise issues can still crop up from "the supplier who lost some experience, talents, talents, somewhere along the way didn't replace them in kind," he said.

“For us to get overly anxious about that, I think it's a silly prospect.”Boeing should focus on existing competition and position itself to "win that technology race," Calhoun said. Chinese airlines began returning the 737 MAX to service earlier this year. Although all Chinese users have restarted 737 flights, deliveries of the jet have been stalled amid friction between the United States and China. Spirit has been the source of several problems that have stalled Boeing deliveries in recent years, including an ongoing 737 MAX bracket installation flaw that slowed deliveries since it was discovered in April. “We are disappointed with every next issue that occurs that limits our rates and slows us down,” Calhoun said.

May 19 (Reuters) - AIP Capital, the aviation asset management arm of 777 Partners, plans to invest up to $200 million in small and medium aerospace suppliers by the end of next year, at a time when the lower rungs of the supply chain are facing financial difficulties. The investments may include a first lien loan, and a single investment will range between $10 million and $30 million, AIP Capital Managing Partner Mathew Adamo told Reuters in an interview. AIP, which was launched earlier this week, has entered into a servicing agreement with 777 Partners to manage all commercial aircraft owned by the private-equity firm. Stamford, Connecticut-based AIP said supply chain investments would focus on companies in developed countries. It is targeting to raise $300 million to $500 million by the end of this year overall for private credit investments.
