Our major global expansion reaches its peak in the second half of 2018, when 32 of our 42 Dreamliners on order will have been put into service,” Kjos continued. In February, the carrier announced it would continue its global expansion by launching the UK’s first low fare route to South America, with a non-stop service from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires.

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.

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.
