Emirates Places Large 787-10 Order, Negotiates A380 Deal


Emirates placed a surprise large order for the Boeing 787-10 on the opening day of the Dubai Airshow, but negotiations about a similarly sized commitment for more Airbus A380s were continuing with no announcement expected until at least Monday.
The carrier ordered 40 Boeing 787-10s that will be delivered from 2022 onwards. Chairman/CEO Sheikh Ahmad bin Saeed Al Makhtoum said no engine choice had been made, but that a further announcement would be made “very soon.” He added that some of the 787-10s would be used to replace older aircraft, likely early Boeing 777s, with the others to be used for growth.
The order comes after a four-year process since Emirates cancelled an earlier order for 70 Airbus A350s. The carrier has been evaluating its twin widebody requirement since then. Following the launch order for the Boeing 777X – a total of 150 aircraft – it was studying what aircraft could be used for shorter sectors up to ten hours of flight time. It evaluated the 787-9/-10 and the Airbus A350-900, including the regional variant of it. The fact that the 787-10 commitment for 40 aircraft is much smaller than the original 70 raises the question as to whether Airbus can still hope for another A350 campaign for longer routes and/or higher capacity. On the other end of the spectrum, Emirates has started to closely cooperate with FlyDubai on shorter sectors, which may have also been a factor for the reduced requirement.
That Emirates committed to the Boeing 787 now came as a surprise to many in the industry. Emirates Airline President Tim Clark said at the Paris Air Show in June that a decision on the 787/A350 campaign had been deferred.
Negotiations between Emirates and Airbus about a follow-on order for the A380 continued on Sunday. Airbus officials were asked to come to an announcement around noon in Dubai, at the same time that the Boeing deal was announced, but then had to leave without an agreement. Emirates said no further announcements were planned for the day.
Emirates has 100 A380s in its fleet and 42 more on firm order. Sheikh Ahmed said Nov. 3 that he hoped negotiations for a further order could be concluded by the time of the Dubai Airshow. Industry sources said a deal could still be possible in the coming days, but that negotiations were extremely tough. Airbus desperately needs further A380s to fill upcoming production holes over the next few years.
Airbus presented the A380plus concept study in June, which includes aerodynamic and cabin changes to the aircraft. At the time, Emirates’ response was lukewarm, as it was not supportive of some of the features proposed such as the removal of the forward staircase

Air India employees' union to meet, plan stir against privatization



NEW DELHI: Air India's largest employees' union will hold its general body meeting here this week to "organise its members for a movement" against the government's decision to privatise the debt-ridden national carrier. 

The Air Corporations Employees' Union (ACEU) is also planning to meet a group of ministers to be set up by the government to look into the disinvestment of its stake in the airline. 

The ACEU is a grouping of Air India's non-technical staff and comprises nearly 8,000 of the total 21,137 employee 
"The meeting will be held to enlighten the rank and file about the privatisation of Air India and how it will affect them. This will also be a forum to organise them as we plan a movement against the privatisation of the national carrier," said a member of the ACEU. 

The move is clearly aimed at benefiting private airlines. If the government is so concerned about the taxpayers' money, then why does it not recover Rs 7.5 lakh crore borrowed by corporates from public sector banks?" the member asked. 

Seven unions of Air India have already joined hands to oppose the privatisation of the financially bleeding airline. Their representatives met last month and wrote to Union Minister for Civil Aviation Ashok Gajapthi Raju, warning him of an "industrial  
unrest".



The letter was written jointly by the AI Air Corporate Employees Union, AI Employees Union, AI Aircraft Engineers' Association, United Air India Officers' Association, AI Engineer's Association, AI Cabin Crew Association and AI Service Engineers' Association. 

These unions will also hold talks with the two pilots' unions -- Indian Commercial Pilots' Association and Indian Pilots' Guild -- and Indian Aircraft Technicians' Association to bring them on board. 

They have called NITI Aayog's report on Air India "arbitrary and unilateral" and said it was prepared without consulting the employees, who are the largest stakeholders.

Isro’s ESSRI 2016 conference wants us to build 10-12 satellites a year

http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/isros-essri-2016-conference-was-about-enabling-indian-aerospace-companies-to-build-10-12-satellites-every-year-322495.html

On the day of the record 20 satellite launch by Isro, there was another event happening where Isro was planning the building of more indigenous satellites with representatives from the Indian aerospace industry. ISRO Satellite Centre, ISAC held a Make in India conference in Bangalore, called Enabling Spacecraft Systems Realisation through Industries (ESSRI 2016). The conference was attended by ISRO executives and more than 110 Indian aerospace companies participated.
There is an increase in demand of satellite based services in India, and Isro wants to launch at least 10 to 12 satellites every year to meet the demand. Isro hopes to do this through indigenous made satellites. Isro does outsource some parts of the satellites to third parties, but no company takes up the end to end creation of satellites. Isro wants to introduce best practices and technologies to the industry, to enable Indian companies to boost their satellite making capabilities.
Senior Isro representatives spoke to the industry attendees at the conference, and outlined Isro’s plans for future launches, and the expected hardware, technologies, delivery schedules and quality for these launches. The satellites are required by various governmental bodies and ministries, who want to incorporate information and data available through new and emerging satellite technologies. The aerospace industry in India welcomed Isro looking for ways to increase the participation of vendors in its space program, the industry as well as Isro stand to benefit through a deeper co-operation.
