Whats On Your Mind.....

As Airbus moves closer to announcing a reengining of its A320 narrowbody jet, John Leahy, the company’s chief operating officer, says he expects Boeing to follow suit with a 737 reengining announcement by year-end. But that’s not a given, counters Boeing Chairman, President and CEO James McNerney.

In an interview with Aviation Week & Space Technology, McNerney says Boeing may choose to wait a few more years — effectively leaving the market to a superior A320 for several years — if it believes it can bring a brand new 737 to market by the end of the decade. “I think our customers will wait for us,” McNerney tells Aviation Week & Space Technology.

The question boils down to how soon revolutionary technologies such as open rotor engines — which would offer superior performance to the 10-15% gain from reengining — will be ready. Airbus maintains that will not be until at least 2025. But McNerney thinks it could be sooner. “If we don’t announce a reengining, in all likelihood it’s because we would feel that a new airplane would come together earlier,” he says.

The stakes are high for both sides. If Airbus moves forward with re-engining the A320 and Boeing does not, Boeing will leave the narrowbody open to more efficient A320s and Bombardier CSeries jets for several years — and would be bitten if development of a brand-new 737 encountered delays. But if Boeing is correct, Airbus could be bringing an airplane to market that would be leapfrogged a few years later.

Boeing’s contemplation comes with one eye on China, which is aiming to bring its new C919 narrowbody to market in the second half of the decade. “China will be the third major competitor on the commercial side of our business,” he says. “They have all the ingredients to enter the narrowbody market over the next decade or so.”

For all the Aviation Readers: LAN Cargo opens largest cold storage facility in US

LAN Cargo opens largest cold storage facility in US



LAN Cargo has opened a new cold storage facility at the Miami International Airport, the largest of its kind at any airport in the US.

The US$4 million expansion of the current facility, doubles the airlines’ capacity to process perishable goods, which are the main export products from Latin America to the rest of the world via Miami.

“We continue to invest in the technology that allows us to provide the most efficient product for the development of the export industry in the region”, said Cristián Ureta, the airline’s chief executive officer. “In doing so, the company strengthens its leadership in the transportation of cargo between Latin America and the United States, and, more specifically, at the Miami International Airport, which is the main gateway to the North America market.”

“The recovery of the global economy has caused a significant increase in cargo traffic because of the larger demand for the air transportation of products and goods throughout the world. Latin America leads this growth, and we have made significant investments to support the development of the import and export activities in the region while offering world class service”, added Ureta.
