IATA Annual General Meeting 

Governments must support alternative fuels 

The International Air Transport Association 

(IATA) 73rd Annual General 

Meeting (AGM) approved a 

resolution calling for governments 

to implement policies to accelerate 

the deployment of sustainable aviation 

fuels (SAF). 

The resolution also 

reaffirmed the 

industry’s commitment 

to work 

with governments 

to implement the 

Carbon Offsetting 

and Reduction Scheme for International 

Aviation (CORSIA) global CO2 

emissions agreement. 

“The CORSIA agreement is a vital 

part of our strategy on combatting 

aviation emissions. We are committed 

to carbon neutral growth from 

2020 and to cutting net emissions 

to half 2005 levels by 2050. While 

“Drop-in alternative fuels are technically 

ready to go and can deliver up to 80% 

reduction in carbon emissions.” 

Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General 

offsetting is critical to managing 

emissions in the short-term, in the 

long-term we rely on clean technology 

improvements to achieve our 

goals. Sustainable aviation fuels are 

an integral part of our comprehensive 

strategy but at the moment 

they are not being produced in 

enough quantity at a competitive 

cost,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IA- 

TA’s Director General and CEO.

The resolution calls upon governments 

to implement policies to 

accelerate the deployment of SAF, 

including the creation of the appropriate 

regulatory framework to 

expedite the development of production 

facilities. 

“Drop-in alternative fuels are technically 

ready to go and can deliver 

up to 80% reduction 

in carbon 

emissions. Governments 

have a 

role in providing 

incentives to make 

SAF commercially 

viable, just as they 

do with supporting the solar power 

for homes or electrically-powered 

cars. Investing in SAF capacity will 

help to reduce emissions and create 

new opportunities for economic 

growth,” said de Juniac. 

The resolution also made clear the 

industry’s commitment to ensuring

SAF conform to robust sustainability standards. 

Several research and development initiatives are currently underway in 

Sweden to produce biofuels from different types of wood. In Sweden, 

forests cover more than 50% of the country, and grow at a rate of 120 

million cubic meters annually. Making domestic air traffic in Sweden 

completely fossil-free would require less than 2% of the total annual 

forest growth.

StandardAero to provide PW125B engine 

maintenance and field services 

support for VLM Airlines 

StandardAero Turboprops & Fleets business 

unit has been selected to provide PW125B engine 

maintenance and field services support 

for Antwerp, Belgium-based VLM Airlines’ 

fleet of six Fokker 50 model aircraft. Engine 

maintenance will take place at StandardAero’s 

European Service Center (ESC) located at Tilburg, 

the Netherlands, for in-region engine 

shop support as well as at the company’s Winnipeg,

on a previous successful agreement. 

PPG announces revolutionary secondary 

fuel vapor barrier for transport aircraft 

A new sprayable secondary fuel vapor barrier 

is in development by PPG that uses ultraviolet 

(UV) radiation to cure in seconds, instead 

of 24 hours or more, and can greatly reduce 

production cycle times for commercial aircraft 

manufacturers and subcontractors. The revolutionary 

PPG eco-friendly sealant uses PER- 

MAPOL polymer technology and is expected 

to be commercialized in early 2018. Aviation 

certification authorities require application of 

secondary fuel vapor barriers to the exterior 

of center wing box fuel tanks for all transport 

aircraft having them. These sealants are elastomeric 

coatings that provide a redundant 

level of sealing should the internal primary 

integral fuel tank seals ever be compromised. 

They are intended to protect, or contain, any 

vapor and fuel from leaking into the cargo bay 

and contacting electrical cables, which could 

have catastrophic consequences. 

Bill Keller, PPG global market segment manager 

for aerospace sealants, said the new PPG 

secondary fuel vapor barrier offers the greatly 

reduced production cycle times required to 

build planes faster and with greater efficiency. 

“I have met with aircraft manufacturers from 

around the world who said having a rapidcuring, 

easy-to-use product was an absolute 

priority,” Keller said. “A UV-cured, sprayable 

secondary fuel vapor barrier sealant based on 

Permapol technology by PPG will be a perfect 

fit for these customers.”

Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) is to buy 25 new Cirrus SR 20 aircraft for its flight training school 

in Phoenix, Arizona. The total volume of investment will amount to around €11.5m. Trainee pilots 

at Lufthansa Aviation Training’s US base have been learning their skills in single motor F33A 

Bonanza aircraft from the manufacturer Beechraft since the year 1972. “With the new single motor 

Cirrus SR 20, the trainees will not only be flying aircraft fitted out with all the latest features, 

it will also mean a 50% cut in operational and maintenance costs”, says Rainer Hiltebrand, CEO 

of Lufthansa Aviation Training. 

Around 350 pilots a year are trained at the flight training school in Arizona. The majority of them 

then go on to become pilots for the Lufthansa Group. But customers such as the German Armed 

Forces and other airlines like KLM and All Nippon Airways (ANA) also send their pilots to Phoenix 

to be trained. Delivery of the new training aircraft will start in October. All of the new aircraft 

should have been received in Arizona by February 2018. They will carry the logo of the European 

Flight Academy. LAT has grouped together its training schools in Germany, Switzerland and the 

USA under this single brand name.

Rolls-Royce opens new Airline Aircraft 

Availability Centre 

Combining the latest in digital data management 

and technology innovation, Rolls-Royce 

has opened its new Airline Aircraft Availability 

Centre as part of its vision that every aircraft 

the company’s engines power departs and arrives 

consistently on time and does so in as 

efficient manner as possible. In an industry 

where a one percent fuel saving can reduce 

fuel costs by approximately US$250,000 for 

an aircraft over the period of a year, and an 

out-of-service aircraft can cost a carrier thousands 

of dollars per day, efficiency is critical. 

The Airline Aircraft Availability Centre, which 

is based in Derby, U.K., will use industryleading 

data analytics to plan engine operations 

and maintenance. Rolls-Royce currently 

monitors thousands of engines worldwide, 

ensuring the aircraft are available to service 

whenever needed and all parts and people 

are made available to ensure that happens efficiently. 

The Airline Aircraft Availability Centre will 

take the data received and transform it in 

terms of scope and scale, thus enabling better 

service decisions to be made. The new Centre 

will also place Rolls-Royce in a position to turn 

the company’s IntelligentEngine concept into 

a reality, thus improving airline economics in 

terms of aircraft availability and fuel efficiency, 

supported by new services technologies 

and techniques. 

According to Tom Palmer, Rolls-Royce Senior 

Vice President – Services, Civil Aerospace, 

“We are entering a new era of digital connectivity 

and new services technology which allows 

us to greatly expand the type of services 

we can offer, with aircraft availability a key 

objective. As the industry services innovator, 

our Airline Aircraft Availability Centre incorporates 

the advances of today and tomorrow 

to support our vision of every Rolls-Royce 

powered aircraft taking off and landing on 

time, every time.”

On Jun 2, China Southern Airlines (CSA) B-6016, the first A380 with a 6-Year check, was redelivered 

for service with a bright new look for the cabin and airframe after heavy maintenance 

and repainting, also symbolizing GAMECO’s milestone of the first A380 6-Year Check in China. In 

2011, CSA started introducing the A380 to its fleet. After 6-years of operation, CSA’s five A380s 

will successively move forward to a full-scale “physical check”. On Mar 1,2017, the first domestic 

A380 3C check (6-year check) began in the GAMECO Hangar. After a 75-day heavy check and 

19 days repainting, the aircraft was redelivered on Jun 2, 2017. The 6-year check covers a wide 

scope of tasks, including more than 1250 job cards and over 120 EO MODs, with an average 90 

mechanics working on the aircraft every day, and even up to 140 mechanics for peak hours. 

Aircraft parts on the upper floor and lower floor of the cabin were all removed for refurbishment, 

including 18 galleys, 14 lavatories, 506 seats, and thousands of accessories being painted, 

polished or replaced. The whole cabin is now ready to welcome passengers with a new look.

Safran in exclusive discussions with Hexcel 

for sale of Structil 

Safran Ceramics, along with co-shareholder 

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, have started 

exclusive discussions with Hexcel to sell all 

shares and voting rights in the company Structil, 

jointly owned by Safran Ceramics (80.05%) 

and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (19.95%). 

Structil become part of Safran when the latter 

acquired SNPE’s energetic materials business 

in 2011. Structil designs, produces and sells 

structural adhesives and high-performance 

carbon-fiber composite materials for aerospace 

and other high-tech industries. In 2016 Structil 

recorded sales of €19m (US$21m); it has about 

70 employees at its plant in Vert-Le-Petit, near 

Paris. Hexcel, a benchmark vendor for Safran, 

is a global leader in advanced composites technology. 

It has over 6,300 employees worldwide, 

including more than 1,000 in France at five 

plants, and posted sales of about US$2bn in 

2016 (more than one-fourth in France). Over 

85% of its sales are to the aerospace sector, 

including products for airplanes from Airbus

IATA revises 2017 industry profitability 

outlook upwards 

The International Air Transport Association 

(IATA) revised its 2017 industry profitability outlook 

upwards. Airlines are expected to report a 

US$31.4bn profit (up from the previously forecast 

US$29.8bn) on revenues of US$743bn (up 

from the previously forecast US$736bn). “This 

will be another solid year of performance for the 

airline industry. Demand for both the cargo and 

passenger business is stronger than expected. 

While revenues are increasing, earnings are 

being squeezed by rising fuel, labor and maintenance 

expenses. Airlines are still well in the 

black and delivering earnings above their cost 

of capital. But, compared to last year, there is 

a dip in profitability,” said Alexandre de Juniac, 

IATA’s Director General and CEO. In 2017 airlines 

are expected to retain a net profit of US$7.69 

per passenger. That is down from US$9.13 in 

2016 and US$10.08 in 2015. The average net 

profit margin stands at 4.2% (down from 4.9%

industry profitability. For a third year in a row we 

expect returns that are above the cost of capital. 

But, with earnings of US$7.69 per passenger, 

there is not much buffer. That’s why airlines 

must remain vigilant against any cost increases, 

including from taxes, labor and infrastructure,” 

said de Juniac. 

While overall industry performance is strong, 

major regional variations remain. About half the 

industry profits are being generated in North

The Bedek Aviation Group of Israel Aerospace Industries will open an aircraft conversion site 

in Mexico City for conversion of Boeing 767-300s into freighters, to be run by Mexicana MRO 

Services as Bedek’s sub-contractor. The first aircraft for conversion is expected to be inducted 

by the end of June. Dozens of Mexicana employees, including structural engineers, electricians, 

mechanics and engineers employed in maintenance of aircraft of the B767-300 have undergone 

training at IAI. The Bedek Aviation Group has a reputation as one of the largest, most efficient 

centers for conversion of, B737, MD-11, B747, B757 and B767 aircraft from passenger to freighter 

configuration, as well as for the range of supplementary services it offers its customers. Bedek’s 

modern facilities provide a full range of maintenance and overhaul services for an array of 

wide-body and narrow-body aircraft. Bedek’s customers include aircraft leasing companies, airlines, 

aircraft manufacturers, and air cargo companies. In light of market forecasts of continued 

growth in the demand for conversion into freighters, IAI estimates that the collaboration with 

Mexicana will yield projects worth tens of millions of dollars in the coming years. As owners of 

the supplementary type certificate for the conversion, IAI will retain engineering authority and 

overall responsibility for the conversions performed at the conversion site.

Vector Aerospace Corporation, a global independent provider of aviation maintenance, repair 

and overhaul (MRO) services, has recently commenced a contract with the Pakistan Navy for 

the return to service of three Leonardo Helicopters (ex-Westland) Sea Kings at its Fleetlands 

facility in Gosport, Hampshire, UK. Work on the contract is being performed by Vector’s UKbased 

Aviation Services team, previously responsible for depth maintenance of the UK Ministry 

of Defence’s Sea King helicopter fleet. A total of seven former UK MoD Sea King aircraft 

have been acquired by the Pakistan Navy under a separate contract signed last year. The maintenance 

program for the Sea Kings has now commenced, with the completed aircraft due to 

be shipped to Pakistan later this year. 

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana will start weekly non-stop 

flights from Frankfurt/Main to Uralsk in Kazakhstan 

from June 14, 2017. Air Astana’s new service, 

which will operate on Wednesdays, is in response 

to growing demand for international services to 

and from Uralsk to better serve the 230,000 inhabitants 

in the far west of the country. The region 

boasts growing economic production across 

the energy, mineral resource, and mechanical 

engineering sectors. Agricultural production also 

plays an important role within the local economy. 

Agreements with partner airlines mean that passengers 

in both directions can connect seamlessly 

in Frankfurt across extensive flight networks in 

Europe and North America. 

American Airlines will continue its investment at 

LAX, committing more than US$1.6bn over the 

next 15 years. The investment will go toward improvements 

of Terminals 4 and 5. American’s letter 

of intent sets the framework for negotiation of 

a new 15-year lease agreement and features airport 

improvement projects that would be made 

possible by the investment. The agreement also 

paves the way for American to receive additional 

gates as they continue to grow their operation 

and add destinations. “This investment will not 

only improve the customer experience, but it will 

also give our employees a better place to work 

every day while allowing us to continue to grow 

in the marketplace,” said Doug Parker, Chairman 

and CEO of American Airlines. “It’s an exciting 

time for the U.S. airline industry and for American 

in particular. Today, U.S. airlines are healthy 

and investing back into their businesses and the 

communities they serve. What we are doing here 

today is a great example of that.” 

Commsoft’s MRO IT system, OASES, has been 

chosen by the Lithuanian-based operator, Grand 

Cru Airlines. Grand Cru is EASA AOC and PART 145 

certificate holder, providing dry lease and aircraft 

management solutions in fast-growing, emerging 

markets. It will be using OASES to support its 

two Boeing 737-300 airliners and an Airbus A320- 

231. The contract with Commsoft also covers the 

fleet of four Boeing 737-400 aircraft operated 

by GetJet Airlines, ACMI/Wet Lease and aircraft 

charter provider, based in Lithuania. 

Etihad Cargo and Royal Air Maroc Cargo have 

signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

which will see the two airlines cooperate in a 

number of areas, including network development, 

freighter deployment and increasing traffic 

on several trade lanes over the next nine months. 

The MOU was signed at Royal Air Maroc’s headquarters 

in Casablanca. The airlines will spend the 

next nine months growing traffic through joint 

network development, including freighter deployment, 

and identifying further areas of cooperation. 

Royal Air Maroc Cargo operates one Boeing 

737 freighter, which will be complemented by 

Etihad Cargo’s freighter fleet of 10 aircraft – five 

Boeing 777Fs and five Airbus A330Fs – as well as 

belly hold capacity on a combined fleet of more 

than 150 passenger aircraft from both airlines. 

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 

4 is planning to modernize their Security 

Operations Center (SOC) with Thales – a world 

leader in airport security, providing smart airport 

solutions. This three-year contract is part of an 

extensive security modernization project at JFK 

Terminal 4 to enhance the situational awareness 

of its security operations. Thales will deliver an 

Airport Operation Control Center (AOCC) platform 

that provides processes and procedures to 

make management of security and operations of 

the airport terminal smoother and more efficient.

privately operated air terminal in North America, 

operated by JFKIAT, LLC. – completed a multiyear, 

multibillion dollar expansion and renovation of its 

physical terminal to ensure it had the infrastructure 

in place to match its growth expectations. 

The terminal is the largest and busiest at JFK, processing 

more than 20.6 million travelers annually. 

On June 7, a new chapter in EU-Ukraine aviation 

relations started, with the official launch of a 

new cooperation project between the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and State Aviation 

Administration of Ukraine (SAAU) in the 

area of airworthiness. The three-year project, 

managed by EASA, is designed to support the 

implementation in Ukraine of EU airworthiness 

rules, and thus prepare the country’s participation 

in EASA’s activities. The launch follows the 

signature of an arrangement between the European 

Commission and the State Aviation Administration 

of Ukraine on the convergence of 

certification systems on January 16, 2017. To 

support this arrangement, the project will focus 

on the development and implementation 

of a so-called “Convergence Document”, and on 

technical cooperation activities in the fields of 

initial and continuing airworthiness. Luc Tytgat, 

EASA’s Director for Strategy and Safety Management, 

said: “EASA supports SAAU’s endeavors 

to transition towards EU-based requirements 

and standards in the area of airworthiness. The 

EASA-SAAU Airworthiness Convergence project 

will further enhance the partnership and cooperation 

between the EU and Ukraine in aviation.” 

Based on principles that have been debated for 

years, President Trump has endorsed a proposal 

to privatize air traffic control in the U.S. with the 

signing of a memo and letter to Congress. The 

move forms a part of Trump’s US$1 trillion initiative 

to rebuild the country’s ageing infrastructure, 

which includes old and inefficient airports. 

If it comes into effect, the blueprint would see 

the detachment of air traffic control from the 

Federal Aviation administration within the next 

three years. Trump has promised to “dramatically 

improve” the tracking of airplanes with global positioning 

satellites which should be a cheaper option 

to the current radar and radio signals method. 

Democrats have argued that it would not be 

cheaper for passengers, while it also allows for 

private businesses to maximize profits, leaving 

underserved areas unimproved. 

The proposal has the backing of the association 

which represents air traffic controllers and other 

industry players, including pilots. 

StandardAero continues to break new ground, 

achieving another Supplemental Type Certificate 

(STC) for the first Honeywell JetWave Ka 

band global high-speed broadband connectivity 

solution available for Gulfstream G-IV business 

aviation aircraft operators. In November of last 

year, StandardAero received a similar STC for a 

JetWave system for Falcon 900/B/C/EX series aircraft. 

StandardAero completed its first STC for this 

Gulfstream G-IV installation on June 1 and the system 

included an exclusive high performance Ka 

radome, made available through its partnership 

with the experts at Communications & Power Industries 

(CPI) LLC’s Radant Technologies Division, 

located in Stow, MA. The STC, which includes a radome 

and installation kit, is now available to the 

market. 

The European Commission on June 8 th , delivered 

on its ambitious Aviation Strategy for Europe by 

adopting a series of measures to further support 

open and connected aviation markets in the European 

Union and beyond. The four initiatives 

presented on June 8, aim to safeguard competition 

and connectivity in aviation, facilitate investments 

in European airlines and enhance the efficiency 

of European skies. This will reinforce the 

competitiveness of European aviation, which is a 

strong driver of job creation, economic growth 

and trade. As a result of these initiatives, citizens 

will benefit from better value flights to a greater 

choice of travel destinations in Europe and worldwide. 

European airlines will have better access to 

investment and benefit from a more level playing 

field when operating outside of Europe. This 

will allow the sector to grow and create jobs and 

prosperity in Europe. Vice-President for Energy 

Union Maroš Šefčovič said: “Our Aviation Strategy 

of December 2015 set an ambitious vision for 

the future of European aviation. Since then, we 

have worked hard to implement this vision jointly 

with all stakeholders. Today’s proposals aim at 

maintaining Europe’s leadership in international 

aviation, as well as at improving connectivity and 

airspace efficiency. A strong and sustainable European 

aviation sector is essential to support the 

EU’s economy and climate goals.” 

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said: 

“We want to ensure that Europe remains a leader 

in international aviation, well connected to fastgrowing 

markets, with efficient European skies. 

The success of European aviation is based on 

open and connected aviation markets. Our actions 

should deliver concrete benefits for passengers, 

workers and the aviation industry.” 

Only weeks after TUI had said that negotiations 

with Etihad to create an airline specifically targeting 

the leisure-focused budget airline sector 

of the German, Austrian and Swiss markets, the 

Gulf carrier has walked away from the deal. The 

proposal involved Niki, a subsidiary of partly Etihad-owned 

Air Berlin, and TUI fly, a subsidiary of

OTHER NEWS 

the German travel group TUI. On announcing that 

talks had ended, Etihad stated that Nikki was no 

longer available for the joint venture. 

Sources close to the proposed joint venture have 

said that the deal collapsed because “the sums 

did not add up,” basically because the cost of running 

the joint venture would be a struggle to be 

competitive against other low-cost rivals. 

In December last year, TUI said the new airline 

would have roughly 60 aircraft and a seat capacity 

of 15m. TUI would have held a 24.8% stake 

and Etihad 25%; the remaining 50.2% held by the 

private foundation NIKI Privatstiftung, which also 

owns the Austrian NIKI airline alongside Etihad. 

TUI has made it clear it is still open to a deal with 

another carrier, indicating that it is looking for 

outside help to promote growth in its German 

airline business, but may struggle owing to anticompetition 

concerns. 

Meanwhile, this latest move has seen further 

questions asked about loss-making Air Berlin, 

Germany’s second-largest airline, which is currently 

relying on cash injections from Etihad to 

stay alive. The German carrier booked losses 

amounting to €1.2bn (US$1.3bn) for the last two 

years and made it clear this Wednesday that it 

was willing to work with Germany’s biggest airline, 

Lufthansa.
