Boom time for new airframes<br />
Executives at Boeing and Airbus are having<br />
a field day following the bumper orders<br />
at the recently ended Dubai Airshow.<br />
The 777X [on paper] clearly stole the show<br />
with a launch order of 259 worth a recordbreaking<br />
$100 billion, by value the largest<br />
single commercial launch.<br />
It will be interesting to observe the choices<br />
Boeing will make as it begins to shape<br />
its new project, particularly where it will<br />
assemble the all-new composite wing.<br />
Emirates Airlines is keen to see longerterm<br />
improvements in engine fuel burn,<br />
as a result Engine Alliance and Rolls-Royce<br />
are studying new or modified propulsion<br />
options for the Airbus A380, and the result<br />
of such a study will be welcome by<br />
all. In true Emirates style, the Dubai carrier<br />
announced an order for 50 A380s on<br />
the opening day of the Dubai Airshow in a<br />
flamboyant fashion.<br />
From a regional airline context Bombardier<br />
launched an extra capacity seating<br />
configuration option for the Q400 Next-<br />
Gen that adds up to 14 more seats to accommodate<br />
up to 86 passengers.<br />
Hopefully, these and other new initiatives<br />
by OEMs will keep the <strong>MRO</strong> juices flowing<br />
as maintenance organisations continue to<br />
adapt to the changing technological environment.<br />
I hope you enjoy our special<br />
Dubai show edition.<br />
Happy Reading!<br />
