WORLD NEWS 

Boeing 787 fuel line fault 

The US Federal Aviation Authority 

warned that improper assembly of 

engine fuel line couplings on the 

new Boeing 787 Dreamliner could, 

if not corrected, result in fuel leaks, 

which could lead to ‘fuel exhaustion, 

engine power loss shutdown 

or leaks on hot engine parts that 

could lead to a fire’. Boeing responded 

that there were ‘multiple 

layers of systems to ensure none of 

those things happen’, while analysts 

said the problem did not pose 

a long-term risk for the airframer. 

US industry’s 10-year high 

The Aerospace Industries Association 

forecast a further year of 

growth for US aerospace and arms 

companies in 2013, representing 

the 10th straight year of expansion. 

Exports have risen to some 

$95.5bn in 2012 and are set to 

grow over ‘at least the next several 

years’ based on order backlogs. 

The civil aviation sector represented 

about 88% of aerospace exports. 

Etihad in Topbonus buy 

Gulf carrier Etihad is set to buy 

Topbonus, air berlin’s frequent 

flyer program, by the end of the 

year. The deal is expected to narrow 

the German carrier’s operating 

loss for the year. 

Emirates in African venture 

Emirates is in talks with Fastjet, 

the new low-cost African airline 

backed by easyjet’s Sir Stelios Haji- 

Ioannou, to create a partnership 

that would see Fastjet’s passengers 

from African cities able to connect 

to the rest of the world through 

Emirates’ Dubai hub. Fastjet also 

revealed it is in talks to buy 1time, 

the South African budget carrier 

that ceased trading last month. 

Delta looks to boost US-London traffic with Virgin stake 

Transatlantic alliance would benefit from move - if Branson bows out 

Delta Air Lines’ reported move 

to buy the 49% stake owned by 

Singapore Airlines (SIA) in Virgin 

Atlantic would be the key to unlocking 

coveted landing slots at 

London’s Heathrow Airport and 

strengthening its transatlantic 

business, according to sources 

close to the company. 

If it goes ahead, the deal 

would also boost the position 

of the Sky Team alliance, 

led by Delta and its 

joint venture partner, Air 

France-KLM, on lucrative 

London-US routes. 

Any tie-up between Delta and 

Virgin Atlantic depends, however, 

on SIA agreeing to divest its holding, 

which it bought in 1999 for 

£600m ($962m). The investment 

is considered to have been disappointing 

to SIA, with Virgin Atlantic’s 

total losses over the period 

far exceeding profits. 

It will also depend on the degree 

to which Sir Richard Branson, the 

maverick founder of Virgin Atlantic, 

wants to implement strategic 

change that will turn the struggling 

carrier’s fortunes around. 

Branson founded Virgin Atlantic 

28 years ago in an attempt to compete 

with British Airways, but the 

“Virgin has rather lost its way as 

the world consolidates and they 

really need to bite the bullet... 

They could bring a rock solid basis 

to Delta’s transatlantic alliance 

with Air France-KLM.” 

John Strickland, Director, JLS Consulting 

airline, which is not a member of 

an alliance, has lost ground to its 

rivals: Star Alliance (United Airlines 

and Lufthansa), OneWorld (British 

Airways and American) and Sky 

Team together control 70% of the 

north Atlantic market. 

“Virgin has rather lost its way 

as the world consolidates and 

they really need to bite the bullet,” 

said John Strickland, director 

of JLS Consulting in London. 

The willingness 

-or not- of 

Sir Richard 

Branson (seen 

here celebrating 

Virgin Atlantic’s 

25 years of service 

between London 

and Miami) to 

give up control 

of the airline 

will be a central 

factor in Delta’s 

proposed 

investment 

Virgin Atlantic 

“Signing up to SkyTeam would 

be part of it, I’m sure, and they 

could bring a rock solid basis to 

Delta’s transatlantic alliance with 

Air France-KLM.” 

Delta will not want to end up as 

a lesser partner in Virgin 

in the same way that SIA 

did, largely restricted, as 

it was, to code-sharing 

and frequent-flier miles 

agreements, despite its 

large share. That obstacle 

would be overcome if, as 

The Financial Times suggested, 

Air France-KLM 

were to buy a stake of between 

5 and 10% in Virgin from 

Branson’s Virgin Group, which 

holds the 51% majority share. 

Combined with a Delta purchase 

of SIA’s 49% stake, the joint venture 

would then have a majority 

share - but only if Branson is willing 

to relinquish control. Earlier 

this year, outgoing chief executive 

Steve Ridgway said he was, but 

only last week he told Bloomberg 

News that his boss would ‘probably 

remain in control’.

Ten Years and Still Climbing 

Ten years ago, a small team set-off 

with a vision to build a company 

focused on providing services to the 

airline industry. This vision has 

materialized into a team nearly 300 

strong and a quarter of a billion in 

revenues. It seems that the 

impossible, is possible, indeed.

First flyable A350 XWB ‘MSN1’ structurally complete 

Airbus successfully completed the main structural assembly and system connection of 

A350 XWB ‘MSN-001’ – the first flight-test aircraft. The aircraft was shown on its wheels 

for the very first time moving out of the main assembly hall (Station 40) at the recently 

inaugurated “Roger Béteille” A350 XWB Final Assembly Line in Toulouse. It then entered 

the adjacent indoor ground test station (Station 30). The assembly work performed in 

Sky Aviation carries out pre-delivery 

inspection of first Sukhoi Superjet 100 

Indonesian airline Sky Aviation is carrying out 

pre-delivery inspection of Sukhoi Superjet 

100 in Ulianovsk (Russia). Sky Aviation, being 

the first SSJ100 customer in the Southeast 

Asia market, made an order of twelve Sukhoi 

Superjet 100 aircraft to be delivered in 2012- 

2015. Late November 2012 interiors installation 

and painting of the first Sukhoi Superjet 

100 (MSN 95022) to Indonesian airline Sky 

Aviation livery was completed. SuperJet International, 

the company in charge of Customer 

Services and Training, has already started 

training courses for Sky Aviation flight crews. 

8 pilots completed successfully the SSJ100 

Type Rating training, 18 cabin attendants will 

be trained by the end of December as 12 mechanics 

will complete the courses in January 

2013. The first delivery of the aircraft is expected 

by the end of this year after finalization 

of all the formalities.

wings. Soon work in Station 30 will start by testing the aircraft’s hydraulic system, followed 

by the full electric and hydraulic power-on of the aircraft which will be completed 

by around the end of the year. This will mark the start of several weeks of comprehensive 

functional system testing. After the A350 XWB MSN1 exits station 30, the aircraft will go 

through a series of extensive production and certification / development tests, be painted 

and have its engines installed. It will then be delivered to the flight-line and be readied 

for its first flight in mid-2013. 

First made-in-USA Phenom 300 

makes maiden flight 

Embraer Executive Jets’ first made-in-the-

flight department which will use it 

as a flight demonstrator aircraft. “This is a 

major milestone for our facility,” said Phil 

Krull, Managing Director of Embraer’s 23- 

month-old U.S.-based production facility. 

“The reduction in production time to half 

of what it took for the first Phenom 100 

means the processes we put in place for 

production have now matured. We are now 

on schedule to produce eight per month in 

the coming months as and when we require 

full production capacity.” Embraer opened 

the Melbourne production facility in February 

2011 and the nearby 58,000 ft² Global 

Customer Center on December 5th, 2011.

Airbus achieves EASA certification 

for A320 Sharklets 

Airbus achieved on schedule certification for 

its new fuel-saving Sharklets for the A320 

with CFM engines. This certification received 

from the European airworthiness authorities 

(EASA) will be followed very soon by the US 

FAA. For the flight test campaign, A320 Family 

aircraft with both CFM56 and V2500 engines 

have recently taken to the skies with 

Sharklets. When complete, this flight testing 

will represent approximately 600 flight-hours 

spread over 9-10 months. Certification of 

the remaining aircraft/engine variants with 

Sharklets will therefore follow in the coming 

months. By the end of 2012, Air Asia 

will become the first airline to take delivery 

of Sharklet-equipped A320s. Due to the very 

strong customer demand for Sharklets, all 

Airbus’ single-aisle final assembly lines (FALs) 

will be engaged in building A320 Family aircraft 

with Sharklets. These FALs are located 

in Toulouse, Hamburg and Tianjin and will 

soon be followed by an additional A320 FAL 

in Alabama USA.

and leasing unit which develops the forecast. 

The encouraging report comes amid lingering economic uncertainties and as higher 

costs for eligible airline borrowing using government export credit financing go into 

effect in 2013. The manufacturer forecasts total industry jetliner deliveries at $104bn 

in 2013, with 95% of that expected to be split between Boeing and Airbus. Boeing 

foresees 2013 financing conditions on par with 2012, and predicts the largest funding 

source – commercial banks – should strengthen their investment. Among other major 

players, capital markets are expected to grow as a funding source for U.S. airlines and 

expand to also serve non-U.S. airlines and leasing companies. 

Meanwhile, leasing firms are expected to grow in their delivery share and gain access 

to more diverse sources of equity and leverage. This year began amid concerns that 

Europe’s commercial banks, a primary aircraft financing source, would pull out of the 

market due to the continent’s economic crisis. 

However, Zolotusky said those fears did not materialize, and in 2013 the company 

expects that Europe’s banks will remain active because the aircraft space is one of 

the most attractive and high-performing sectors for bank investments. Boeing said 

regional commercial banks – in places like China, Japan, Australia, the Middle East and 

North America – stepped back into or entered aircraft financing in 2012 and expect to 

remain in 2013. In announcing the need for increased financing for rising industry deliveries, 

the company said market data clearly supports the higher production pace.

retrofit, something which Atlas Composites 

MD Shaun Moloney is confident will provide 

added value to his customers. “Installing new 

CPC systems to Atlas Composites’ existing 

autoclaves will ensure our operators, and 

consequently our customers, have greater accuracy, 

reliability, and a greatly enhanced audit 

trail – all of which are key drivers for our

ARINC is expanding its presence supporting 

airlines and airports in the Middle East, in 

parallel with its heightened business aviation 

activities and is well placed to take advantage 

of the massive growth expected in the region 

between now and 2020. ARINC is stepping 

up its presence at the New Doha International

EADS governance and shareholding structure receives far-reaching 

overhaul 

The EADS Board of Directors and the company’s core shareholders agreed on a far-reaching 

change of the company’s shareholding structure and governance. The agreement 

aims at normalising and simplifying the governance of EADS while securing a shareholding 

structure that allows France, Germany and Spain to protect their legitimate strategic 

interests. Subject to customary regulatory conditions and to Germany (through Kreditanstalt 

für Wiederaufbau (KfW), the investment arm of the German State) acquiring an 

initial block of 5 percent of EADS, an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders will 

be held during the first half of 2013, to vote on the proposed changes to the company’s 

Articles of Association, on the proposed share buy-back and to elect new directors. 

Key elements of the agreement are: 

• France and Germany intend to build equal ownership positions, while the present core 

industrial shareholders, Daimler AG and Lagardère SCA, are provided with a path to partially 

divest and will eventually be free to trade their shares at their discretion. 

• Subject to the vote of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of EADS, 

the present shareholder pact, called “Participation Agreement”, in place since the company’s 

foundation in 2000, will be terminated and replaced by a new, limited arrangement 

between the French, German and Spanish Governments. 

• France, Germany and Spain have agreed on a capped government shareholding (approximately 

12 plus 12 plus 4 percent). The three states will have reciprocal pre-emption 

rights. The amended Articles of Association of EADS will contain an ownership and 

voting restriction from crossing the 15 percent threshold by shareholder individually or 

collectively. 

• The three States have agreed that, upon the request of any of them, they would vote 

against a future change to a limited number of the new governance provisions. 

• The future EADS Board will comprise 12 members, proposed by the Remuneration and 

Nomination Committee, including a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer and at least 8 

independent Non-Executive Directors. The majority of Directors as well as two thirds of 

the members of the Executive Committee will be EU nationals. 

• Certain specific French and German national security interests will be protected through 

the creation of “national defence companies” holding sensitive military assets, and including 

the rights of France and Germany to consent to three outside directors to the 

board of their respective “national defence companies”. Two of such directors of each 

“national defence company” shall be members of the EADS Board. 

• Under the new governance scheme, no veto right will be given to any group of Directors 

in the Board or to any shareholder at the Shareholders’ Meeting

New Full Flight Simulator arrives at SuperJet International Training Centre in Venice 

.A new Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for training on the SSJ100 

aircraft arrived for installation at the SuperJet International (SJI) 

Training Center in Venice (Italy), close to the International Marco 

Polo airport. The SSJ100 simulator, produced by L3 Communications, 

formerly Thales, fully replicates the aircraft cockpit with stateof-the-art 

visual and motion system, enabling pilots to achieve the 

SSJ100 Type Rating training 

without using the real aircraft. 

The installation will last around 

30 days and it will be followed 

by an extensive phase of onsite 

testing. Consequently the 

simulator will be submitted to 

the final approval of the EASA 

STD (Synthetic Training Device) 

Evaluation team, to be ready 

for training at the beginning of 

2013. The FFS will be utilized to 

deliver Type Rating courses to 

Pilot training for the SSJ100 (above) is delivered in both Venice and Moscow 

the SSJ100 Customers as well as recurrent training. Courses will be 

managed by a selected and highly experienced team of SuperJet 

International’s professionals with airline’s operations background. 

Interjet’s pilots will be the first to start training in Venice on the 

new FFS. In Venice SJI also provides training for cabin attendants 

and maintenance technicians. Up to October 2012 144 pilots, 65 

cabin attendants and more than 

380 technicians completed successfully 

the courses currently 

delivered both in Venice and 

Moscow SJI Training Centers. SJI 

has established a Training Center 

made up of two facilities based 

in Venice and Moscow. Both of 

them are equipped with the same
