Aviation Daily Roundup: April 4, 2022

April 05, 2022

Finnair Aims For Carbon Neutrality In 2045

Oneworld carrier Finnair has committed to halving its 2019 carbon emissions by the end of 2025 and reaching carbon neutrality by no later than the end of 2045. This puts Finnair on track to reach carbon neutrality five years before the 2050 IATA net-zero target, which was set in October 2021. Finnair made the commitment through a letter of intent with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which aims to bring CO2 emissions reduction targets in line with the UN Paris Climate Agreement.

Air Canada To Launch Transatlantic Freighter Routes

Air Canada will commence all-cargo transatlantic flights in May, connecting Toronto (YYZ) to four European cities. The new cargo routes are made possible by the delivery of the carrier’s second Boeing 767-300ER converted freighter. The airline’s first converted 767 freighter was delivered by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in December 2021, and Air Canada has used that aircraft to operate cargo flights to Latin America.

Air Lease Corporation Orders 32 Additional 737 MAX Jets

Norwegian, Swiss Relax Face Mask Requirements

Scandinavian LCC Norwegian and Lufthansa Group subsidiary Swiss have become the latest European carriers to relax their COVID-19 face mask wearing requirements. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic were among the first European airlines to ease mask rules in mid-March, after the UK government scrapped all pandemic-related restrictions on international travel. UK LCC easyJet soon followed suit. Credit: Rob Finlayson

UK Competition Regulator Extends Measures On London Slots

British Airways (BA) and American Airlines must continue to offer four daily airport slots on three UK-U.S. routes to competitors until March 2026. The latest decision by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) forms part of the competition regulator’s investigation into the Atlantic Joint Business Agreement (AJBA), which involves the two Oneworld alliance members.

New Italian flag carrier ITA Airways has signed an aircraft lease agreement with Irish lessor AerCap, covering 10 Airbus A320neos and two A330neos. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2023 and 2024, supporting ITA’s network expansion plans. Credit: Fixion / Airbus / Rendering by MMS

Sanctions Delay Serial Production Of Russia’s MC-21 By Two Years

Serial production of Russia’s new Irkut MC-21 narrowbody airliner will begin one to two years later than planned, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov confirmed March 31 after a meeting on the development of the Russian air transport and aircraft industry held by President Vladimir Putin. Borisov explained that time was needed to find domestic replacements for the MC-21’s numerous Western-made components after the banning of their export to Russia. Credit: Aviation Week Network

Daily Memo: Air Canada Sees Multiple Opportunities In The Airbus A321XLR

Air Canada is enthusiastic about adding the Airbus A321XLR to its fleet, citing an array of advantages the new long-haul narrowbody jet will offer the airline as it emerges from the pandemic. Credit: Air Canada

ZeroAvia Partners For Hydrogen Regional Demonstration In California

Hydrogen-electric propulsion startup ZeroAvia has partnered with zero-emission vehicle refueling company ZEV Station to develop a hydrogen refueling infrastructure for airports in California. The companies plan to develop an initial regional aircraft project with sufficient scale to showcase how hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion systems can enable zero-emission commercial flights.
