▼ + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

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.

REUTERS/Loren Elliott/file photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 21 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) is close to securing an order for more of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft from Australia’s Qantas Airways (QAN.AX), industry sources said. Qantas, Boeing and Airbus declined to comment. Qantas, whose original decision to opt for a smaller type of Boeing 787 in 2005 led to a review of Airbus's wide-body strategy, is considered to be among the most influential aircraft buyers. Sources said the upcoming Dreamliner deal swings orders back in Boeing’s favor with the largest variant of 787. Qantas last placed a Dreamliner order in 2018, when it signed a deal for six jetliners meant to replace its remaining Boeing 747s.

An Israel El Al airlines plane is seen after its landing following its inaugural flight between Tel Aviv and Nice at Nice international airport, France, April 4, 2019. A decision likely would be made early in 2024, Ben Tal Ganancia said. At list prices the investment would be near $4 billion but El Al would likely pay far less after discounts. "It is serious," Ben Tal Ganancia said of the talks with Europe's Airbus. In the second quarter, El Al earned a net $59 million versus net profit of $100 million a year earlier.

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.

American Airlines on Thursday raised its earnings outlook for 2023 after a strong start to the peak travel season, the latest airline to reap the rewards from the continued boom in demand. That updated 2023 profit guidance falls in line with Wall Street expectations of $3.10, according to Refinitiv consensus estimates. For the third quarter, American expects to earn an adjusted 85 cents to 95 cents per share, in line with estimates. Adjusting for one-time items, including costs associated with planes retired early in the pandemic, the company earned $1.37 billion, or $1.92 per share.

☆ Spirit AeroSystems to halt Wichita plant as workers vote to strike
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Spirit will suspend factory production prior to the expiration of its contract with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) which ends on June 24, it said. "We are disappointed that our employees represented by the IAM rejected our four-year contract offer and voted to strike," Spirit said. However, workers not represented by union should report to work on Thursday, it added. Workers at the plant, which makes critical structures for Boeing (BA.N) jetliners, will go on strike on Saturday, after rejecting a proposed four-year deal on Wednesday night, the IAM said. "The IAM's dedicated and hardworking membership at Spirit AeroSystems has worked without fail during tumultuous times, including a pandemic that saw everything grind to a halt.

But it was surpassed on day one of the Paris show by Indian rival IndiGo's (INGL.NS) order for 500 Airbus narrowbody jets. Air India said it was worth $70 billion at list prices, though airlines typically get discounts on big orders worth at least half the headline price, analysts say. The Airbus part comprises 210 A320neo and A321neo narrowbody jets and 40 A350 widebodies. "Our ambitious fleet renewal and expansion programme will see Air India operate the most advanced and fuel-efficient aircraft across our route network within five years," Air India Chief Executive Campbell Wilson said in a statement. The mega-order will also put Air India on a stronger footing to compete with budget rival IndiGo, which has a majority share of the Indian market and a strong position in regional flights.

☆ Spirit Aerosystems, workers reach tentative four-year labor pact

June 16 (Reuters) - Spirit Aerosystems (SPR.N) has reached a tentative four-year contract agreement with the 6,000-member machinists union employed at its Wichita, Kansas plant, the union said Friday in a statement. "This fair and competitive contract recognizes the important contributions of our factory employees and ensures that Spirit can successfully meet increasing demand for aircraft from customers," Spirit Aerosystems said in an emailed statement. A slowdown could have impeded Boeing as it tries to recover from ongoing 737 and 787 production glitches. A stoppage could have also had a detrimental effect on already-fragile Spirit AeroSystems, which has been responsible for several recent production flaws affecting Boeing jets, including a 737 bracket installation problem. In May, Spirit said it expects cash burn of about $100 million to $150 million in 2023.

June 13 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) delivered 50 jets in May, 13 fewer than European rival Airbus (AIR.PA), but a 43% improvement on the same month last year. Deliveries of the cash-generating Boeing 737 MAX increased to 35 jets in May, Boeing said Tuesday. The company handed over only 17 MAXs to customers the prior month, when Boeing found a bracket installation defect that forced it to fix aircraft before delivery. Boeing also delivered eight widebody 787 Dreamliners, three 767 freighters, three 777 freighters and a 737 that will be modified into a P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft for South Korea. Over the first five months of the year, Boeing delivered 206 aircraft - fewer than rival Airbus, which has delivered 244 over the same period.

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.

The company's lawsuit centers around multiple custom-designed tools that Wilson says it created for Boeing. Boeing, in turn, "rewarded Wilson's efforts by brazenly stealing" the IP related to multiple devices, the complaint says. The company brought 10 claims against Boeing, including claims of copyright infringement, misappropriation and theft of trade secrets, and fraud. "We fully believe that there are other companies, probably small American-owned companies, that have been affected by this same activity inside Boeing," Wilson lawyer Flowers told CNBC.

The problem involves a fitting for the 787's horizontal stabilizer installed by a Boeing production facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company said. Boeing, which announced last week that it had increased 787 production from three to four jets a month, said the issue has not caused a halt in 787 production. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement it had validated Boeing's assessment that there was no immediate safety issue for 787s already in service. Boeing stopped 787 deliveries at multiple points during that period, resuming them last August after agreeing to an FAA-approved modification plan for Dreamliners in the company's inventory. In March, the FAA said it would allow Boeing to restart 787 deliveries, as the U.S. planemaker had addressed concerns.

☆ Boeing warns new defect on 787 Dreamliners will slow deliveries
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

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.

☆ C919: Why China's answer to Boeing and Airbus isn't as 'homegrown' as it seems
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Michelle Toh | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Hong Kong CNN —China is claiming a historic win this week after its answer to Boeing and Airbus, the C919, took to the skies for its first commercial flight. But instead of boosting China’s global stature in technology innovation, experts say the C919 is a symbol of its continued reliance on the West. COMAC’s first commercial plane, by comparison, is a much smaller regional jet called the ARJ21, which can only fly up to 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) and accommodate up to 97 passengers. Technicians working on a COMAC C919 aircraft under assembly at the COMAC Shanghai Research and Development Center in 2017. Boeing and Airbus also depend on “high-quality global suppliers,” state-run newspaper China Daily said in an editorial Wednesday.

“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.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc on Wednesday took a hefty $110 million loss in reach-forward charges on Airbus and Boeing jet production and expects a further hit of $31 million to full-year gross profit from disruptions related to a Boeing 737 MAX fuselage production problem.

The company has also started to build and deliver production-conforming 737 fuselages under a revised process, it said. Cash burn was $69 million in the first quarter, compared with a cash burn of $298 million a year ago.
