On Day 2 of the Paris Airshow, Boom set a timeline to go supersonic on flight again, and Boeing won big with the 737 MAX aircraft, and also with the 787s. More than that, there was a new commitment to the future of flight, sustainably.
On Day one of the Paris Airshow, Airbus got over 120 commitments, and IndiGo placed a historic order with CFM for their biggest batch of engines yet.
Airbus has launched the A321XLR, its longest range single-aisle aircraft. The A321XLR is a new addition to the A321neo and will have a range of 4700nm.
The Albatross One is now airborne. Airbus’s newest concept demonstrator, the Albatross One intends to test the design of wings that can be more flexible during flight, just like the Albatross.
The A321XLR if launched will do wonders for airlines like IndiGo, JetBlue and so-on who do not wish to invest in widebody aircraft. But will it be launched at the Paris Airshow 2019?
Airbus has confirmed that both A350 variants the A350-900 and A350-1000 can be modified to have enough range to operate the world’s longest routes under Qantas’ Project Sunrise, which should be a 21-hour long flight.
Airbus is celebrating its 50th anniversary today. We’ve come a long way from when they started, with Airbus having an almost equitable share of the global aviation business. Here is how Airbus changed aviation, for good!
Airbus’s A220 aircraft, which was acquired by them from Bombardier last year, has been primed up for longer flights now. The A220 will be able to fly an added range in the coming days.
The A380 programme will be shut down in the year 2021 when Airbus will deliver the last of the A380s to Emirates airlines. There are no other airlines at the moment interested in the A380, so it only makes sense to let the programme goe away.
October 2, 2018, marked a significant milestone for Airbus. The Airbus A321LR received certification. The first A321LR is slated to be delivered to Israel’s LCC arkia by year end. This adds an enormous capacity to the range of the most prominent member of the A320 family, potentially the one that will power IndiGo’s European dreams.
Vistara has now placed a new aircraft order to the tune of 50 narrowbody aircraft (13 buy, 37 lease) and 6 widebody aircraft to expand operations. They’ve ordered aircraft both from Boeing and Airbus for their expansion plans.
