The A330-200 aircraft with its very low costs, reliability and cabin comfort suites our expansion needs and will also fit in well with our existing fleet of Airbus aircraft”, said Atef Abd El Hamid, Chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company EgyptAir currently operates a fleet, including around 30 Airbus aircraft from the A320 Family, A330, A340 to A300-600 cargo variant. “We are delighted with EgyptAir’s continued commitment to Airbus and our world leading products. EgyptAir already operate a largely Airbus aircraft fleet and we look forward to continuing this partnership for years to come”, said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. EgyptAir serves countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America as well as domestic routes with over 560 flights departing from Cairo every week.

The airline builds on its rich and impressive history that matches that of its homeland. Its fleet started with the spartan cruiser aircraft which commenced its first commercial flight in 1933. Afterwards, American and French aircrafts were bought to enhance the fleet. EGYP- TAIR was the first carrier in the Middle East to use jets, as it enhanced its fleet with comet 4-C jets in 1960. It was also the first airline in the Middle East to fly Boeing 707 aircrafts to cope with the growing international traffic and to operate longer routes. Today, as a result of years of continuous investment, EGYPTAIR is operating one of the most modern and young fleets in the industry. 4 Not only does EGYPTAIR invest heavily in purchasing new aircraft, but also in conducting additional training facilities, which is obviously apparent from the amount of development and enhancement that are taking place in EGYPTAIR Training Center. The Training Center is conveniently located at Cairo International Airport in a newly - built center which complies with all the architectural and infrastructure requirements of a modern training facility.

  • The Strategic Deployment of the Airbus A350-900XWB Aircraft in a Full-Service Network Carrier Route Network: the Case of Singapore Airlines
    infrastructures Article The Strategic Deployment of the Airbus A350-900XWB Aircraft in a Full-Service Network Carrier Route Network: The Case of Singapore Airlines Glenn Baxter ID and Panarat Srisaeng * ID School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Suan Dusit University, Hua Hin, Prachaup Khiri Khan 77110, Thailand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +66-32-522-508 Received: 7 June 2018; Accepted: 17 July 2018; Published: 19 July 2018 Abstract: In the global airline industry, an airline’s fleet routing affects its profitability, level of service and its competitive position. Using a qualitative research approach, this paper examines Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900XWB fleet deployment and route network development for the period 2016 to 2018. The qualitative data was examined using document analysis. The study found that Singapore Airlines has deployed the Airbus A350-900XWB aircraft on new air routes from Singapore to Cape Town via Johannesburg, Düsseldorf and Stockholm via Moscow and return. The Airbus A350-900XWB aircraft are also replacing older, less efficient aircraft as part of the company’s fleet modernization strategy. Singapore Airlines is also acquiring the new ultra-long-range variant of the Airbus A350-900XWB for use on its proposed new non-stop services from Singapore to Los Angeles and Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, USA. The longest flight stage length is the Singapore to San Francisco route which is 7339 nautical miles (13,594 km) in length. The shortest stage length is between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur (160 nautical miles or 297 km). The new non-stop services from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York City will be the longest non-stop services operated by Singapore Airlines.

  • Development of Trent Series Large Turbo Fan Engines
    Technical Description Development of Trent Series Large Turbo Fan Engines As the demand for aircraft has been increasing, fuel efficiency needs to be improved. Therefore, the performance of the engine as well as the fuselage must be enhanced. We are in charge of design, part manufacturing and module assembly of the intermediate pressure compressor (IPC) at development of all the Trent Series large turbo fan engines from Rolls-Royce after the Trent 1000, the first model of which helped develop in 2004, as their strategic partner. Going forward, we will promote activities to take charge of the overall IPC module as an IPC module integrator by developing ©Rolls-Royce plc proprietary design and manufacturing technologies. Introduction Aircraft are an essential means of transportation in To be launched in 2018 global society, and aircraft manufacturers are competing Trent 7000 Thrust: to develop new types of aircraft. Engines equipping such 68,000-72,000lb Airbus A330neo aircraft must be highly reliable, lightweight and fuel efficient, as well as environmentally friendly (low NOx, low Trent XWB noise). Thrust: 84,000-97,000lb Airbus A350 XWB 1 Background Trent 1000 The demand for aircraft is expected to grow by about Thrust: 53,000-74,000lb 5% annually even in the long term, pushed by factors Boeing 787 such as the rapid expansion of Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs). To meet such market needs, The Boeing Company in the Trent 900 US and Airbus in Europe are developing new types of Thrust: 80,000lb aircraft. Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce) in the UK, one of the Airbus A380 world's major aircraft engine manufacturers, has been developing and supplying its Trent series for such aircraft, Trent 500 Thrust: and we are participating in programs to manufacture the 60,000lb series as a Risk- and Revenue-Sharing Partner (RRSP).
