WEEKLY AVIATION HEADLINES

Europe’s busiest airport London Heathrow (LHR) grew at its fastest rate in five years in 2017, helping Britain’s economy to thrive by wel-coming a record 78 million passen-gers (+3.1%) while retaining its position as Europe’s top-rated major airport for the third year running.

Heathrow continues to deliver for the UK with a 10.2% increase in cargo volumes promoting more British trade growth, support for British jobs with close to £700 million in-vested in the airport over the year and new services to Portland and Santiago.

Strong financial performance un-derpins Heathrow’s expansion plans, with revenues of £2,884 mil-

lion up 2.7% and Adjusted EBITDA of £1,760 million up 4.6% reflecting lower operating costs and strong retail growth while passenger charges decreased by 2.0%.

Over £1.0 billion in debt financing completed, enhancing resilience and simplifying Heathrow’s debt financing arrangements.

Significant progress on expanding Heathrow, with the airport’s first planning consultation underway, a shortlist of logistics hubs around Britain to help build it, the govern-ment committing to a vote in Par-

liament this summer and the CAA progressing the expansion regula-tory framework.

John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive Officer of Heathrow, said: “Heathrow had a fantastic 2017 – wel-coming a record 78 million passengers, giving our best service ever and offering bet-ter value for our pas-

sengers with lower airport charges.

“But while we are squeezing out small bits of growth, our rivals in France and Germany are overtak-ing us – for Britain to thrive post-Brexit, the Government needs to crack on with Heathrow expansion as quickly as possible with a vote in Parliament before the summer.”

AIRCRAFT & ENGINE NEWS Twelve stopovers in three weeks provides high visibility for the latest A350 XWB jetliner version

Airbus’ flight test A350-1000 jetliner is back home after a demonstration tour to Middle East and Asia-Pacific destinations, a three-week trip that underscored all the attributes this larg-est A350 XWB version brings in upsized efficiency, maximum reliability and unique passenger comfort for fast-growing regions of the global airline marketplace.More than 10,000 people had the opportunity to visit the A350-1000 during its 12 stopovers which formed a tour that logged 87 hours aloft while covering 64,000 kilometers – the equiva-lent to traveling around the Earth 1.6 times.The demonstration tour provided airline customers, VIPs, journalists, social media personali-ties, industry influencers and enthusiasts alike, the opportunity to discover the latest member of the A350 XWB Family ahead of its upcoming entry into service.Retaining significant commonality with the successful in-service A350-900 version, the A350-1000’s fuselage has been stretched by seven meters – providing greater capacity (40 more seats in a typical three-class cabin configuration) and perfectly matching airlines’ needs on their busiest long-haul routes while giving the flexibility to provide a larger pre-mium seating area.The A350-1000’s demonstration tour began on January 26, with Doha, Qatar as its first desti-nation. This visit was highly appropriate, as Doha-based Qatar Airways will be the first airline to introduce the new aircraft, joining the airline’s growing fleet of A350-900s.Next on the tour were visits to Oman, Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, Hanoi and Singapore, where the aircraft was displayed at the 2018 Singapore Airshow. After an extended stopover, the jet-liner then flew to Bangkok, Sydney, Auckland, Tokyo and Manila, before returning on February 16 to Airbus’ headquarters operation – and location for the A350 XWB final assembly line – in the Toulouse region of southern France.

Robots driving innovation at SR Technics

SR Technics is partnering with Invert Robotics to implement an innovative robotics solution to enhance its aircraft maintenance inspections. Developed by Invert Robotics, the robot em-ploys a patented mechanism that explores the airframe surface to assess the required main-tenance needs. Equipped with a high-resolution inspection camera, the robot records and transmits video images to a ground-based screen, which are then analyzed by SR Technics engineers. The use of this new solution enables efficient visual inspections both on the tarmac as well as in the hangar. In addition, the inspection images can be used for more detailed repair assessments and as a record of the current state of the aircraft for future comparisons. The automated inspections can help reduce the inspection time from hours to minutes. Fur-thermore, the robot’s capabilities can be enhanced by adding functions such as ultra-sound and thermographic testing that allow robots to perform many labor-intensive and tedious maintenance inspection processes more efficiently. Freeing up skilled aircraft engineers to manage more-complex tasks helps speed up the process and reduce the cost of the overall maintenance process.

The investment needed to add this capability will start this year, with delivery of the first parts expected in January 2019.The new joint Safran/Albany plant in Mexico cur-rently has nearly 230 employees, operating in a facility with 31,000 m² (334,800 ft²) of floor-space. The total workforce is expected to reach nearly 600 by 2021, to handle annual produc-tion of more than 20,000 composite blades and 31,000 outlet guide vanes.Located in the Querétaro Aerospace Park, this newest plant benefits from its proximity to other facilities, including Safran Aircraft Engines Mexico and Albany’s Machine Clothing plant in Cautitlan. Safran and Albany have been work-ing closely together for nearly 20 years. Through this high-value-added partnership, they have developed the 3-D RTM (resin transfer molding) process used to produce fan blades and cases for the LEAP engine. The use of 3-D woven com-posites makes a significant contribution to the LEAP’s performance, since it offers 15% lower fuel consumption and CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions than previous-generation engines.The construction of the new Safran/Albany plant in Mexico was announced in 2016 to support the ramp-up in LEAP production, which should reach a peak rate of more than 2,000 engines per year in 2020. Having already recorded over 14,000 orders and commitments. Today, more than 210 LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B-powered airplanes are de-ployed by 33 operators on five continents, and they have already logged over 610,000 flight-hours and nearly 300,000 cycles.

Bristow Helicopters select Honeywell’s avionics protection plan

Honeywell has signed a five-year contract with Bristow Helicopters for its Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan (HAPP). The agreement will cover 26 of Bristow’s Leonardo AW139 helicopter fleet.Under the agreement, Bristow Helicopters will benefit from full maintenance protection cover-age for the avionics suite of its search and res-

cue fleet, providing improved cost forecasting. The company will also have access to repair and parts exchange services in addition to support from Honeywell and its global network of au-thorized service centers to return its helicopters back to the sky quickly and efficiently.Honeywell offers a variety of maintenance con-tract options, allowing operators to choose the plan that best meets their requirements for ex-change and repair services. HAPP also provides coverage on all Honeywell avionics systems across civil service rotary fleets, as well as com-mercial and business helicopters.Bristow Helicopters provides industrial avia-tion services, including offshore transportation, search and rescue, and support services. The ad-dition of HAPP expands on the relationship be-tween the two companies, with Honeywell’s Sky Connect flight data monitoring system already in use across Bristow’s fleet.

Jetstar will start taking delivery of aircraft from its existing order of 99 A320 aircraft, beginning with 18 A321LR NEOs from mid-2020. These next gen-eration, longer range aircraft can fly routes like Melbourne and Sydney to Bali, currently oper-ated by the 787-8 Dreamliner. The arrival of the first four long range NEOs will add capacity on these routes with potential to also free up some 787-8 flying time for use on other leisure routes such as Vietnam, China, Thailand and Hawaii. All 18 A321LR NEOs are expected to be delivered by the end of 2022 to replace Jet-star’s oldest A320s for use on domestic and in-ternational routes and will each deliver a fuel burn improvement of around 15%. The Qantas Group retains flexibility with the sequencing of the rest of its A320 NEO order, which is ap-proximately an even split of 232-seat A321LR NEOs and 186-seat A320 NEOs. The order is primarily focused on aircraft replacement but with scope to allow for growth depending on market conditions.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has released the first formal Opinion on the safe operating of small drones in Europe and which will become an important stepping-stone to the building of a wider regulatory framework and a means to keep drone opera-tions safe. This Opinion will act as a platform on which the European Commission can adopt regulatory proposals later on in the year. The European Commission has already chaired a meeting with EU Member States on Febru-ary 21. According to EASA’s Executive Direc-tor Patrick Ky, “This regulation will enable the free circulation of drones and a level playing field within the European Union, while also respecting the privacy and security of EU citi-zens, and allowing the drone industry to re-main agile, to innovate and continue to grow.” The EASA has provided an innovative means for the regulation of drone operations where rules are simplified, and focus is mainly on the risks associated with a drone’s operation – for example the risk associated would be greater flying the same drone in a built up residential area as opposed to open fields. The Opinion is also charting new territory where aviation and product legislation are combined: design requirements for small drones (up to 25kg) will be implemented by using the well-known CE (Conformité Européenne) marking for prod-ucts marketed in Europe. Each drone will be come with a package a consumer informa-tion with the “do’s and don’ts” on how to fly a drone without endangering other members of the public. This Opinion follows a preceding consultation document (Notice of Proposed Amendment – published by EASA in May 2017) and takes into account thousands of comments received from private citizens, industry, opera-tors and national authorities obtained during a four-month public consultation period.

pared to 2016 figures, the resultant increase in volume has seen a drop in the level of satisfac-tion experienced by passengers.The result of an annual Air Travelers in America Survey has revealed that of those passengers ques-tioned, only 81% were satisfied with their overall experience, down from 85% recorded in 2016.This drop is not seen as surprising given an in-crease in crowding at airports and on flights, mainly due to an improved economy and low fares. All age groups and household income bands saw an increase in numbers save for those passengers who earned in excess of $150,000 on an annual basis.The greatest increase in passenger numbers came from those persons falling within the US$75,000 – US$99,999 income bracket, where those people took an average 5.1 trips per an-num, compared with 3.4 trips in 2016.According to John Heimlich, vice president and chief economist at Airlines for America, “The strides airlines are making to improve the flight experience—from varying fares that can fit any budget, in-flight entertainment options, gour-met food offerings and advancements in tech-nology, both on the ground and in the air— are resonating with customers and leading to more Americans traveling more often by air.”5,046 passengers took part in the survey. 2017 was a year blighted by a number of high-profile incidents involving airlines and their passen-gers, the most notable of which involved a pas-senger who had been ‘bumped’ being forcibly dragged off a United Airlines UAL flight, the incident having been recorded by a fellow pas-senger on their smartphone and which subse-quently went viral on social media.

Sardinia-based airline Meridiana is aiming to become Italy’s premier airline under a new name, Air Italy.
