Norwegian reports losses 

Amid a massive global expansion 

The ever-expanding budget carrier 

Norwegian Air has posted bigger 

than expected losses 

The net loss was -299 million NOK 

(-£27.4 million) in 2017, while the 

earnings before interest, taxes and 

depreciations (EBITDA) was 60 million 

NOK (£5.5 million). The airline 

said significant costs 

related to increased 

fuel prices, wet 

lease and passenger 

care affected the results. 

The company’s total revenue was 

almost 31 billion NOK (£2.8 billion) 

- an increase of 19 per cent compared 

to 2016. A total of 32 brand 

new aircraft entered the fleet, contributing 

to a production growth 

(ASK) of 25 percent. The load factor 

was unchanged at 88 percent. A 

total of more than 33 million passengers 

chose to travel with Norwegian 

in 2017, an increase of 13 

percent compared to previous year. 

“We are not at all satisfied with the 

2017 results.” 

Bjørn Kjos CEO of Norwegian 

For the fourth quarter, the net loss 

was 919 million NOK (£84.4 million). 

The total revenue was more 

than 7.8 billion NOK (£716.5 million), 

an increase of 30 percent 

from the same period last year, 

primarily driven by international 

growth as well as an increased 

traffic in the Nordics. Just over 8 

million passengers flew with Norwegian 

this quarter, a growth of 12 

percent. The load factor was 85.3

percent. Norwegian made major 

investments in the fourth quarter 

related to training of pilots and 

cabin crew on both its wide-body 

and narrow-body fleet to prepare 

for the growth in 2018. 

“We are not at all satisfied with 

the 2017 results. However, the 

year was also characterised 

by global 

expansion driven 

by new routes, high 

load factors and 

continued fleet renewal. 

Through our 

global strategy, we contribute to local 

economic boost and increased 

employment at our destinations, as 

well as ensuring that more people 

can afford to fly - not least between 

the continents. In 2017, we received

Rolls-Royce and Singapore Airlines sign 

Trent 1000 and Trent 700 contracts 

Rolls-Royce has signed contracts with Singapore 

Airlines at the Singapore Airshow covering Trent 

1000 and Trent 700 engines. 

Singapore Airlines formally confirmed a 

US$1.7bn order for Trent 1000 engines to power 

19 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which will 

be covered by Rolls-Royce’s flagship TotalCare® 

engine support service. The order, originally announced 

in February 2017, was in addition to 

an order for Trent 1000 engines for 50 aircraft, 

made by SIA Group, in 2013. 

The signing comes as the airline prepares for the 

entry into service of its first 787-10 aircraft powered 

by the latest version of the Trent 1000, the 

Trent 1000 TEN (Thrust, Efficiency, New Technology). 

Singapore Airlines also signed a contract 

for SelectCare support for Trent 700 engines 

that power 11 Airbus A330 aircraft. 

SelectCare is a fixed-price overhaul agreement 

that allows customers to benefit from Rolls- 

Royce’s engine health monitoring and aftermarket 

capability, while providing cost certainty 

and plan fleet servicing. It is one of a range of 

Rolls-Royce CareServices available through its

Airbus opened its 2018 business activity with orders in January for 20 A320 Family jetliners – 

taking overall bookings for this best-selling single-aisle product line to 14,135 and delivered 27 

single-aisle and widebody aircraft during the month, bringing the company’s total deliveries 

since its creation to nearly 11,000. 

Boeing generated 28 orders in January, all 737s and delivered 44 aircraft during the month. 

Israeli venture capital-backed Eviation has set a 

date of 2021 for its “Alice” 9-seat electric commuter 

aircraft to enter into service. The company 

has just signed a deal with South Korea’s 

Kokam as its battery supplier. Eviation is one of a 

number of companies looking to produce small 

electric aircraft that will consume less power, 

have lower emissions, be quieter than and have 

lower operating costs than its conventionally 

fueled counterparts. 

Part of the reason for the tie up with Kokam for 

battery supply is the South Korean manufacturer 

can adapt its production processes to meet with 

Eviation’s specific needs yet on an initial lowvolume 

scale. 

“If I would go today to Samsung or Panasonic or 

LG Chem or Tesla for that matter and say I need 

a different cell size, they will probably laugh because 

the number of cells we are going to buy 

is not significant enough to start the design process,” 

Eviation CEO Omer Bar-Yohay told Reuters 

in a phone interview.

AIRCRAFT & ENGINE NEWS 

Eviation is planning to fly the Alice demonstrator 

on its maiden flight by the end of this year, 

with the first public display aimed for the Paris 

Airshow in mid-2019, he said. Moving to commercial 

production after that would require raising 

around $100 million of capital, Bar-Yohay 

also confirmed. 

Electric airplanes are currently relying on improvements 

in battery technology, which is why smaller 

aircraft will take to the skies long before large 

commercial jets. The battery in Alice will have 

9,400 cells distributed throughout the aircraft including 

the ceiling, floor and wings, and will weigh 

3.8 tons, which equates to approximately 60 percent 

of the maximum takeoff weight. 

Batteries are heavy and store far less energy per 

kilogram than jet fuel, though the ratio is continuously 

improving each year, allowing electric 

cars and airplanes longer ranges than they had 

previously. 

Eviation’s Alice airplane should have a range 

of up to 650 nautical miles (1200 kilometers), 

roughly 15 percent further than a similar-sized 

conventional Cessna Caravan. The cost is expected 

to be around US$2 million-plus, similar 

to the Cessna, but will offer lower fuel and maintenance 

costs, according to Bar-Yohay.

Liebherr-Aerospace receives order for Airbus Helicopters’ H160 heating valves 

the long-standing JetSpares customized rotable 

spares rate-per-flying-hour support agreement, 

for which BRA is the longest-standing customer, 

having been enrolled on this service since 1996. 

The new agreement covers 640 parts per aircraft 

over the 12 aircraft fleet (10 RJ100s and 

two RJ85s) and is for a minimum of 38,000 fleet 

flying hours across the three-year period. 

Also signed was an agreement for rate-per-flying-hour 

coverage for the Honeywell GTCP36- 

150M Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) that is fitted 

to eight Avro RJ100s in the BRA fleet. 

Working with an established overhaul supplier, 

Regional Aircraft provides BRA with a guarlaunch 

customer order for its Cair VIP Inflight 

Humidification system from Jet Aviation for one 

Boeing BBJ MAX 8. This completion will feature 

increased humidity in the entire aircraft cabin 

which requires support from three humidifiers. 

This award is CTT Systems’ 86th VIP order 

for Airbus ACJs/Boeing BBJs. CTT’s humidifier 

maintains air humidity in the human comfort 

zone of approx. 20 percent Relative Humidity. 

A higher humidity on long-haul flights reduces 

dry air-related problems (e.g. fatigue, jet-lag, 

red eyes, dry skin, spread of viral diseases) and 

improves wellbeing and sleep. The humidifier 

is based on evaporative cooling technology and 

uses a method that effectively precludes the 

transfer of bacteria. The Cair VIP IFH system 

offers total anti-condensation protection.

Bombardier reports fourth-quarter and 

full-year 2017 results 

Bombardier has reported its fourth-quarter and 

full-year 2017 results, highlighting solid financial 

and operational performance across the company. 

In 2017, Bombardier’s full-year EBIT before 

special items grew 57% year-over-year, from 

$427m to US$672m, while EBITDA before special 

items reached close to US$1bn. Full year EBIT 

margins exceeded guidance for Transportation, 

Business Aircraft and Aerostructures. Before special 

items, EBIT margins were 8.4% at Transportation 

and Business Aircraft; and 10.0% at Aerostructures. 

Consolidated revenues for the year 

were US$16.2bn, in line with its guidance. 

Free cash flow performance for 2017 was better 

than guidance by more than US$200m, with a usage 

of US$786m. This over-performance allowed 

Bombardier to end the year with a US$3.1bn cash 

balance and well positioned to achieve cash flow 

breakeven in 2018, a key objective of the Company’s 

turnaround plan.

craft. Revenues were US$5.0bn with EBIT margins 

before special items of 8.4%. 

For the fourth quarter, deliveries reached 44 

units, including a strong mix of Challenger and 

Global family aircraft, representing 29 and 13 deliveries 

respectively. 

Commercial Aircraft’s financial performance for 

2017 was marked by the continued production 

ramp-up of the C Series aircraft program. As announced 

in the third-quarter financial results, 

engine delivery delays from Pratt & Whitney impacted 

the C Series aircraft deliveries, particularly 

in the fourth quarter. While revenues reached 

US$2.4bn, in line with its guidance, the EBIT loss 

before special items at US$377m compared favorably 

relative to expectations. 

Airbus posts full year 2017 results 

Airbus has reported 2017 revenues of €66.8bn 

(2016: €66.6bn) with higher aircraft deliveries 

offset by a reduction in revenues of around €2bn 

from the perimeter changes. Commercial Aircraft 

revenues rose by 3.5% with record deliveries of 

718 aircraft (2016: 688 aircraft) comprising 558 

A320 Family aircraft, 78 A350 XWBs, 67 A330s 

and 15 A380s. Helicopters’ revenues were slightly 

lower with deliveries of 409 units (2016: 418 

units). Revenues at Defense and Space reflected 

the division’s perimeter changes of around 

€1.7bn but were 7% higher on a comparable basis 

driven mainly by military aircraft. 

EBIT Adjusted increased to €4,253m (2016: 

€3,955m). 

Commercial Aircraft’s EBIT Adjusted of €3,554m 

(2016: €2,811m) reflected the strong delivery 

performance supported by improved foreign exchange 

rates. 

Helicopters’ EBIT Adjusted declined to € 337m 

(2016: €350m) but was broadly stable on a comparable 

basis. Lower deliveries, an unfavorable 

mix, and lower commercial flight hours in services 

were compensated by transformation efforts 

which have globally supported the division’s competitiveness 

in a challenging market. The sale of 

the maintenance, repair and overhaul business 

Vector Aerospace was closed in November. 

Defense and Space’s EBIT Adjusted amounted to 

€872m (2016: €1,002m), reflecting the perimeter 

changes but was broadly stable on a comparable 

basis. 

A total of 181 A320neo Family aircraft were delivered, 

up from 68 during 2016. 

Supplier Pratt & Whitney introduced new engine 

fixes in the fourth quarter which have been certified. 

A new issue has arisen recently, the impact 

of which is under assessment with respect to 

2018 deliveries. CFM International meanwhile experienced 

some maturity issues in 2017 on some 

batches of the LEAP-1A engine. The A320neo 

ramp-up remains challenging and requires that 

the engine suppliers deliver in line with commitments. 

On the A350, good progress was made 

with the industrial ramp-up, recurring cost convergence 

and the reduction of outstanding work 

in the Final Assembly Line, which has been significantly 

reduced. The A350 program is preparing to 

reach the targeted monthly production rate of 10 

by the end of 2018. Meanwhile, Emirates Airline’s 

latest order provides increased visibility on the 

A380 program for the next ten years to come. 

Net income increased to €2,873m (2016: €995m) 

after the EBIT Adjustments, with earnings per 

share of €3.71 (2016: €1.29). (€1.00 = US$1.25 at

BA Systems to modernize head-up displays 

for United Arab Emirates F-16 fleet 

BAE Systems has been selected by Lockheed Martin 

to modernize head-up displays (HUD) on F-16 

aircraft for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed 

Forces, replacing the fleet’s analog system with 

advanced digital technology. The HUD, which sits 

directly in a pilot’s line of sight, is a see-through 

display that presents real-time, flight-critical information 

without obstructing his or her view of 

the outside world. BAE Systems will use its cutting-edge 

Digital Light Engine (DLE) technology to 

implement a HUD upgrade that integrates seamlessly 

into the F-16’s existing HUD space, requiring 

no changes to the aircraft, cabling, or computing. 

The advancement will remove the outdated cathode 

ray tube image source and replace it with a 

digital projector. 

The fully digital system has the potential to reduce 

life-cycle costs by 20% and offers at least 

four-times the reliability of legacy analog systems. 

The DLE HUD features high-resolution symbology 

that is viewable under any flight conditions, and 

it is designed to accommodate future advancements 

in symbology and video. 

GE Aviation receives KC-46 Tanker Flight 

Management System approval 

GE Aviation has received approval for its flight 

management system from the Boeing KC-46 

tanker program. The approval is a result of Boeing 

securing an amended type certification from the 

U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the 

767-2C aircraft configuration of the KC-46 aircraft. 

GE Aviation’s flight management system and communications 

management applications (CMA) are 

part of the KC-46 mission control system, which 

manages the aircraft mission. 

This is the first aircraft that GE Aviation has received 

FAA approval for its flight management 

system integrated with its own CMA. The CMA 

takes the place of the traditional communication 

management unit (CMU) on the aircraft by providing 

the communications management function 

as a hosted application running on the flight 

management computer. The CMA provides full 

aircraft communications addressing and reporting 

system (ACARS) and aeronautical telecommunications 

network (ATN) data link communications 

between the aircraft, as well as Air Traffic 

Control and the mission control center. By providing 

the FMS and CMA/ATN capability as software 

applications, GE has provided a more integrated 

user interface and eliminated the traditional CMU 

hardware on the aircraft. 

In order to receive the certification, Boeing’s 

team, which included Commercial Airplanes and 

Defense, Space & Security personnel, completed 

a series of analyses and laboratory, ground and 

flight tests that focused on the aircraft’s fundamental 

capabilities including avionics, auto-flight 

and environmental control systems, as well as its 

new fuel system. The resulting data validated that 

all systems operated as intended. 

The ATC is one of two FAA airworthiness certifications 

required for the KC-46 program. A combined 

Boeing/Air Force team has been concurrently 

completing Supplemental Type Certificate 

(STC) work, which encompasses the military systems 

that are installed on the 767-2C to make it 

a tanker.

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, 

has reported that Air Transport Services Group 

(ATSG), a provider of medium wide-body aircraft 

leasing, air cargo transportation and related 

services, has selected IFS Maintenix to deliver 

comprehensive fleet maintenance management 

across its two cargo airline subsidiaries – ABX Air 

and Air Transport International – and its aircraft 

leasing subsidiary, Cargo Aircraft Management. 

As one of the largest owners and operators of 

converted Boeing 767 freighter aircraft, ATSG 

has experienced strong growth in recent years. 

To meet evolving operational demands, ATSG’s 

airline subsidiaries – ABX Air and Air Transport International 

(ATI) – and its aircraft leasing subsidiary 

– Cargo Aircraft Management (CAM) – sought 

a modern, scalable software solution that could 

drive greater standardization and maintenance 

management process efficiencies. 

Following a market review, ATSG’s subsidiaries 

selected IFS Maintenix to deliver a full suite of 

engineering, planning and line maintenance functionality, 

helping ATSG optimize the maintenance 

management for its combined fleet. 

Investors will be keeping a keen eye on how airlines 

approach the dual problems of rising fuel 

costs and labor costs this year. Last December the 

International Air Transport Association (IATA) 

highlighted these two elements, which are airlines’ 

highest expenditures, as the major challenge 

for 2018. In 2016, labor costs accounted for 

22% of airlines’ costs and fuel 21%. For 2018, predictions 

reveal an expected 30.9% cost for labor 

and 20.5% for fuel. With the fluctuating nature of 

fuel prices, back in 2013 those figures were 33% 

for fuel and 18% for labor.It should also be noted 

that labor costs are traditionally higher in Europe 

and North America than in Asia, for which fuel 

remains the higher cost. Exacerbating the current 

challenge of labor costs is a shortage of workers 

on a global scale, and in particular many airlines 

are struggling with a pilot shortage as they look to 

expand their fleets. According to IATA Chief Economist 

Brian Pearce, “As airlines have been making 

profit, the workforce has got market power, 

so that is pushing up the cost of labor.” IATA has 

“Josie Pepper”, the new robot at Munich Airport 

She is 120 centimeters tall, with sparkling, round eyes and a pleasant voice: Starting February 

15, “Josie Pepper” the robot will be answering questions for passengers in Munich Airport’s 

Terminal 2. Whether they need directions to their gate or want to stop at a certain restaurant 

or shop – Josie Pepper will look them in the eyes and give them a prompt answer. 

With the rollout of Josie Pepper, Munich Airport and Lufthansa are breaking new ground: It 

is the first-ever test of a humanoid robot equipped with artificial intelligence at a German 

airport. For the next few weeks, Josie Pepper will welcome travelers to the non-public area of 

Terminal 2, which is jointly operated by Munich Airport and Lufthansa. In her initial deployment, 

Josie Pepper, who speaks English, will await passengers at the top of the ramp leading to 

the shuttle connecting the main terminal to the satellite building. This test phase will be used 

to show whether Josie Pepper is accepted by passengers. 

Josie Pepper’s “brain” contains a high-performance processor with a WLAN internet access. 

This creates a connection to a cloud service where speech is processed, interpreted and linked 

to the airport data. What sets the system apart: When this robot type speaks, it does not just 

deliver pre-defined texts. With its ability to learn, it answers each question individually. Just 

like a “real” brain, the system gets steadily better at combining questions with the relevant 

information to provide more precise replies. 

IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) cloud-based, artificial intelligence technologies are behind 

Josie Pepper’s capabilities. Pepper was developed by the French company SoftBank Robotics. 

The lady robot was given the name “Josie” by the staff of Munich Airport and Lufthansa when 

she arrived at the airport. 

also forecast a hike in unit costs, measured as an 

airline’s cost to operate each kilometer and seat 

flown, from a rise of 1.7 percent in 2017 to 4.3 

percent in 2018. 

In the United States, investors are concerned that 

the three largest carriers – American, Delta and 

United – could well be heading for a price war 

just as higher costs from pay increases agreed last 

year start to take effect. Airlines must now look 

even more closely at those areas where potential 

savings can be made. According to aviation 

consultant John Strickland, “The most successful 

airline managements are the ones that have been 

very cost-focused every day – not just on staff 

costs but on aircraft costs, airport charges, distribution 

costs and so on.”
