easyJet Europe takes off 

First Austrian-registered aircraft now flying 

Low cost carrier easyJet has confirmed 

that it has been awarded 

an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) 

by Austro Control and an airline 

operating licence by Austria’s Federal 

Ministry for Transport, Innovation 

and Technology (bmvit) which 

means that easyJet Europe is now 

operational. 

On July 14 

2017 easyJet 

said that it 

hoped to receive 

an Austrian 

AOC “in 

the near future” 

for a new subsidiary – easyJet 

Europe – to ensure intra-EU traffic 

rights post Brexit. Around half of 

easyJet’s passengers come from 

the EU27 (the 27 countries of the 

EU once the UK leaves) and around 

30% fly on intra-EU27 routes. 

As the most exposed UK airline to 

a single European aviation market 

(ex UK), easyJet is right not to sit 

around waiting for regulatory clarity. 

Other airlines are also showing 

some signs of unease about the 

continued uncertainty. As CAPA reports, 

IAG has questioned the EU’s 

ownership and control rules and 

Ryanair has mused over how to 

maintain EU majority control if UK 

shareholders are excluded from the 

definition. Wizz Air is even looking 

at a UK licence. 

easyJet will phase the re-registering 

easyJet will

re-registering

of the remaining aircraft, around 

110 planes that are required for its 

EU based operations into easyJet 

Europe over the next two winters. 

This process will be completed in 

advance of the UK leaving the EU. 

easyJet Europe’s principal place of 

business will be in Vienna and the 

management 

of easyJet Eu- 

“This will ensure easyJet can continue to operate 

flights both across Europe and domestically within 

European countries after the UK has left the EU.”

full operational 

control 

and financial 

oversight of 

the company.

Carolyn McCall, easyJet CEO said: “This announcement is the result 

of an extensive and thorough regulatory process in Austria and I am 

pleased to confirm that easyJet Europe is now flying with its first flight 

touching down in its new headquarters of Vienna. 

“easyJet Europe has a strong management team in place, led by Thomas 

Haagensen, who will oversee the transfer of the planes and people 

to the airline. This will ensure easyJet can continue to operate flights 

both across Europe and domestically within European countries after 

the UK has left the EU. 

“In addition, like all other European airlines, we continue to lobby for 

an EU UK aviation agreement which, as a minimum, will enable flights 

between the EU and the UK.” 

Outgoing CEO McCall says easyjet will continue to lobby for an EU UK aviation agreement.

PJSC Aeroflot, VEB Leasing and JSC United 

Aircraft Corporation, for delivery of 20 Sukhoi 

Superjet 100s to PJSC Aeroflot, the Russian flagcarrying

Bombardier Business Aircraft has released that its Global 7000 aircraft flight test program is 

progressing as planned and has surpassed the 500-hour milestone. With three flight test vehicles 

(FTVs) in flight testing and two remaining FTVs to join shortly, the Global 7000 aircraft program 

is on track to meet the aircraft’s targeted entry-into-service in the second half of 2018. 

Bombardier also confirmed that the first several customer aircraft are progressing smoothly 

through production, with four Global 7000 business jets currently in final assembly at the Bombardier 

facility in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In November 2016, Bombardier began flight testing 

its state-of-the-art Global 7000 business jet with the maiden flight of first flight test vehicle 

1 (FTV1). FTV1 came close to surpassing the speed of sound, reaching M 0.995 during a test 

flight in March 2017 – the largest business jet to operate so close to the sound barrier. The second 

flight test vehicle (FTV2) and third flight test vehicle (FTV3) joined the program in March 

and May 2017, respectively. The comprehensive testing conducted using the three FTVs over 

the course of the 500 flight hours has demonstrated the capability of the aircraft’s propulsion, 

avionics, electrical and mechanical systems. This testing will account for the majority of the 

certification requirements. Two remaining flight test vehicles, FTV4 and FTV5, are currently in 

final assembly and Flight Validation Testing in a dedicated pre-flight bay and are on track to join 

the other aircraft at Bombardier’s world-class flight test centre in Wichita, Kansas.

San Antonio Aerospace (VT SAA), secured from 

Air Canada to service the airline’s flagship 787 

Dreamliner fleet. With the first 787 successfully 

redelivered after it underwent C1-checks at VT 

SAA’s facility in San Antonio, US, in May, ST Aerospace 

became the first MRO service provider in 

the Americas to perform heavy maintenance on 

the 787. 

Among the other heavy maintenance contracts 

secured during the quarter were agreements to 

service CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines for a 

European and Middle Eastern Airline respectively, 

as well as agreements to service the 747 and 767 

aircraft for American Airlines. Other long-term 

contracts won during the quarter included an 

agreement for a labor Charge-Per-Aircraft-Landing 

program to service the wheels and brakes of 

a low-cost carrier’s Airbus A320 fleet. 

ST Aerospace gained momentum in its A330- 

300 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion 

programme during the quarter when its joint 

venture with Airbus, Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), 

secured additional four firm and ten optional

century airport. The Port Authority has committed 

a fixed amount of no more than US$600m 

to the Delta project, with the airline providing 

US$3.4bn and assuming responsibility for any 

cost overruns. All of the new airport terminal facilities, 

including the Delta project, will be located 

closer to the Grand Central Parkway as part of 

the new unified airport design, providing significantly 

more airfield space. The Delta work will 

begin later this summer. The redevelopment of 

the Delta facilities is part of the overall LaGuardia 

Airport project that broke ground in June 

of 2016 on the construction of the new overall 

roadway configuration and on the LaGuardia 

Gateway Partners passenger terminal concourses 

on the western half of the new airport. 

Lufthansa reports adjusted EBIT of 

€1,042m in the first half of 2017 

Based on preliminary figures, Deutsche Lufthansa 

AG generated revenues of €17.0bn in the 

first half of 2017 (Q1 & Q2 2016 €15.0bn). The 

Adjusted EBIT came to €1,042m (2016 period: 

€529m). The passenger airlines achieved a cumulative 

Adjusted EBIT of €680m (2016 period: 

€352m). Unit revenues at constant currency 

were up 0.5% on the same period 2016 (1.8% 

in the second quarter). Unit costs excluding fuel 

and currency effects fell by 1.2% (-3.4% in the 

second quarter). Cumulative Adjusted EBIT for 

the remaining business segments (including consolidation 

and reconciliation) were €362m (2016 

period: €177m). Fuel costs increased by €223m 

compared to the same period in 2016. All performance 

indicators and fuel cost include the 

first-time consolidation of Brussels Airlines and 

the aircraft wet leased from Air Berlin. 

At the end of the first half-year, net financial debt 

decreased to €1.1bn (year-end 2016: €2.7bn). 

Pension provisions came to €8.1bn (year-end 

2016: €8.4bn) at an IFRS discount rate of 2.1% 

(year-end 2016: 2.1%). 

The Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG 

increases their forecast for the year now from 

an Adjusted EBIT “slightly below previous year” 

to “above previous year”. The organic capacity 

growth in the second half-year is expected to be 

4.7%. From today’s perspective, unit revenues 

at constant currency will be negative in the second 

half-year compared to the same period in 

2016. Unit costs excluding fuel and currency effects 

should come down marginally in the second 

half-year. The fuel cost projection (excluding 

consolidation of Brussels Airlines) as of 30 

June 2017 indicates a tailwind of approximately 

€100m in the second half-year compared to the 

same period in 2016. The Air Berlin wet lease 

and the first-time consolidated Brussels Airlines 

should deliver a small profit. The remainder of 

Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s businesses are expected 

to deliver a cumulative profit for the second 

half-year of 2017, on a par with 2016.

Military and Defence 

IAI and Honeywell will jointly develop 

GPS Anti-Jam Navigation System 

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Honeywell 

Aerospace have signed a Memorandum 

of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop an 

advanced GPS Anti-Jam navigation system. As 

part of the MOU, IAI and Honeywell are aiming 

to engineer, manufacture and market a combined 

GPS Anti-Jam combined solution. The new 

technology will combine IAI’s existing ADA GPS 

Anti-Jamming system together with Honeywell’s 

embedded GPS Inertial Navigation System. The 

ADA system will be integrated as a subsystem, or 

as an embedded module into Honeywell’s navigation 

systems. The joint solution is applicable 

to military navigation applications (SAASM / P(Y) 

Code) and has the provisioning to support future 

directives of the GPS directorate (M-Code).

Sabre Corporation, a leading technology provider 

to the global travel industry, has reported the firstever 

global distribution system (GDS) partnership 

with the Lion Group full service Indonesia-based 

airline subsidiary, Batik Air. As Batik Air’s first GDS 

partner, Sabre’s global network aims to boost the 

airline’s growth by expanding their reach and providing 

new distribution channels. Indonesia has 

one of the world’s largest travel markets with a 

growing economy and affluence, creating an in- 

creasingly competitive landscape among local 

airlines. Batik Air is one of the two full-service airlines 

based in Indonesia which flies to 33 domestic 

cities, including Jambi and Manokwari – the 

latest domestic routes added in April 2017. The 

airline also flies internationally to Singapore, and 

plans to further their regional outreach to Australia, 

India, and Malaysia as part of their business 

growth strategy. 

Norwegian’s British subsidiary ‘Norwegian UK’ 

(NUK) has been given tentative approval by the 

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for 

a foreign air carrier permit. The approval reaffirms 

that the NUK application is in full compliance 

with the EU–US Open Skies Agreement. 

When finalized by the DOT, the permit will allow 

Norwegian’s UK subsidiary to operate low-cost 

flights between the U.S. and Europe. Norwegian 

flies from five UK airports (Gatwick, Birmingham, 

Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast) carrying 

over 5 million UK passengers each year to 

more than 50 destinations. Following a detailed 

application with the Civil Aviation Authority, the 

‘Norwegian UK’ (NUK) subsidiary was set up in 

November 2015 and allows Norwegian to build 

on its growing U.K. operation by accessing bilateral 

traffic rights to a series of global markets – 

NUK has already announced plans for new flights 

from London Gatwick to Singapore, starting in 

September and Argentina starting in February 

2018. Once final approval is received from the 

U.S. authorities, Norwegian UK will be able to 

establish a seamless operation and more effectively 

utilize its long-haul fleet – this includes the 

use of the same aircraft on all long-haul routes 

such as the U.S., Singapore, Argentina and other 

future long-haul markets Norwegian is looking at 

in Asia and South America. 

Jeppesen, a Boeing Company, has agreed to a 

service contract with Wataniya Airways, a new 

Middle Eastern carrier based in Kuwait. As the 

airline is working to begin air service in the near 

future, Jeppesen has agreed to provide multiple 

services to assist the airline with several 

operations. Wataniya Airways will receive paper 

charts for navigation and International Trip 

Planning services from Jeppesen early on. Once 

air service is established, the airline will also use 

Jeppesen electronic flight bag (EFB) services to 

increase operational efficiency. For the short 

term at the beginning of operations, Wataniya 

Airways also will use Jeppesen trip planning and 

flight dispatch services. 

Delta will launch a daily nonstop service between

Portland to Mexico City. 

Emirates and flydubai have unveiled an extensive 

partnership which will see the two Dubaibased 

airlines join forces to offer customers 

unmatched travel options. Both airlines will 

continue to be managed independently, but will 

leverage each other’s network to scale up their 

operations and accelerate growth. The innovative 

partnership goes beyond code-sharing and 

includes integrated network collaboration with 

coordinated scheduling. The new model will 

give flydubai customers seamless connectivity 

to Emirates’ worldwide destinations spanning 

six continents. For Emirates’ customers, it opens 

up flydubai’s robust regional network. The two 

airlines will also further develop their hub at 

Dubai International Airport, aligning their systems 

and operations to ensure a seamless travel 

experience through the ultra-modern airport; 

currently the world’s busiest for international 

passengers.

BAA Training, European standard aviation training 

center, has announced the signing of a partnership 

agreement with Pan Am International 

Flight Training Centro (Thailand) for Airbus A320 

FFSs utilization in Thailand. International Air 

Transport Association (IATA) predicts that Asia- 

Pacific will be the most powerful driver for passenger 

growth with an extra 1.8 billion annual 

travelers by 2035. According to the aircraft manufacturer 

Airbus, Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing 

region that is forecasted to meet 14,275 new 

aircraft deliveries, comprising 41% of the overall 

demand. This corresponds to 219,890 new pilots 

needed for the region. BAA Training is able to 

provide training solutions for 18 types of aircraft 

on 55 FFSs located in 32 training spots across Europe, 

North and South Americas, Africa and Asia. 

Delta’s biometric boarding pass experience that 

launched in May at the DCA Delta Sky Club, is 

now integrated into the boarding process to allow 

eligible Delta SkyMiles Members who are 

enrolled in CLEAR to forego a paper or mobile 

boarding pass in favor of using fingerprints as 

proof of identity to board their plane. The final 

phase of Delta’s DCA biometric boarding pass 

test, coming this summer, will allow Members to 

also use their fingerprints to check a bag. Delta 

is partnering with CLEAR to power the back end 

of its pioneering biometric boarding pass experience. 

The DCA pilot is testing how Delta and 

CLEAR’s systems work together while laying the 

foundation for Delta to deliver a more convenient 

customer experience broadly in the future. 

Being part of the initial tests means that eligible 

customers will be able to traverse DCA as they 

do today and simply use their fingerprint instead 

of pulling out their boarding pass. Participating 

in the test is optional. 

Munich Airport’s operating company FMG has 

established a new 100% subsidiary for its international 

activities. With Munich Airport International 

GmbH (MAI), Munich Airport now has a 

tailor-made platform for handling international 

contracts in the areas of consulting, airport management 

and training, previously implemented 

by the parent company. 

Ever since Munich Airport made headlines back 

in 1992 with its smooth and seamless move from 

the old site in the east of Munich to the brandnew 

airport 30 kilometers away, its input has 

been greatly valued by planners relocating airports 

and putting new facilities into operation all 

over the world. Another reason behind Munich 

Airport’s excellent reputation as a service partner 

is the truly unique business model operated 

by FMG at its home location. Almost all of the 

business activities involved in the operation of 

an airport are covered by departments or subsidiaries 

of the parent company: These include 

airport operations, IT, engineering, real estate 

services, facility management, fleet management, 

a training academy, ground transportation 

services, rentals, hotels and catering, and retail. 

FMG’s know-how and operational success as a 

full-service airport operating company and its 

expertise in commissioning new airports have 

made it a popular choice as a consultant in the 

aviation industry. FMG’s international business 

division has provided tailor-made solutions at 

more than 50 airports around the globe, including 

Bangkok (Thailand), Quito (Ecuador), Madrid 

(Spain), Barcelona (Spain), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) 

and Delhi (India). Apart from airports, customers 

include governments, airlines, construction 

companies and various consultancies. The 

orders have a global reach and demand a high 

degree of intercultural awareness. At present 

the approximately 70 employees working in 

this business segment generate annual sales of 

around €10m (US$11.6m). 

MAI’s service portfolio covers all aspects of airport 

and terminal planning, the commissioning 

of new facilities (operational readiness and 

airport transfer (ORAT)), operational planning 

and process optimization, profit and revenue 

optimization, airport privatization consulting, 

tailor-made training services and comprehensive 

airport management. The FMG business model 

makes it possible to offer needs-based consulting 

services tailored to the individual customer. 

A medium-term goal will be to open sales offices 

for Asia, the Middle East and Central and South 

America. 

Asiana Airlines, one of Asia’s largest carriers, 

has begun revenue service with its first A350 

aircraft using Panasonic Avionics Corporation’s 

(Panasonic) industry-leading inflight entertainment 

and connectivity (IFEC) solution. This first 

aircraft, which was line fitted with Panasonic solutions 

by Airbus, entered passenger service on 

May 15, having been delivered to the carrier on 

April 26. Panasonic’s eX3 system delivers a premium 

passenger experience through features 

including audio and video on demand, and a 

massive content library that can offer over 50 

movies, 60 TV shows, games, music and more. 

The aircraft will also offer Panasonic’s global connectivity 

service, enabling passengers to access 

the Internet via broadband inflight Wi-Fi, and to 

send and receive calls and text messages. 

Once more the U.S. will allow passengers flying 

to U.S. airports from regions including the Middle 

East to carry laptops and other electronic devices 

on board. The lifting of the ban is subject 

to carriers from the region implementing stricter 

security controls, which include stricter baggage 

screening and the installation of explosives trace 

detection measures including explosives-detecting 

scanners and bomb-sniffing dogs at the airports. 

The ban on laptops and other personal electronic 

devices (PEDs) larger than a smartphone 

was initially introduced in March this year as 

fears mounted over IS terrorists hiding explosives 

in batteries and battery compartments. 

The ban extended to carriers flying to the U.S. 

from ten airports in eight predominantly Muslim 

countries: Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, the United 

Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and 

Turkey, with airlines affected including Royal Jordanian 

Airlines; Egypt Air; Turkish Airlines; Saudi 

Arabian Airlines; Kuwait Airways; Royal Air Maroc; 

Qatar Airways and Emirates. Etihad was the 

first airline to be exempted from March’s ban, 

while it has been confirmed that Saudi Arabia is 

the last to obtain exemption. 

The original ban had met with strong opposition, 

not only because of its disruptive nature,

especially for business-class passengers, but also 

because lithium batteries have long been seen 

as a fire risk and thus posed a greater threat if 

stored in the cargo section of a plane than in the 

cabin. The European Aviation Safety Agency had 

already expressed concern with the electronics 

ban on trans-Atlantic flights because of this risk 

of accidental fire, which it said would be even 

more difficult to contain if the electronic device 

was in the cargo section.
