Aviation Daily Roundup: July 28, 2021

July 29, 2021

Boeing Services Revenue Rises On Commercial Activity Boost

An uptick in commercial activity helped Boeing Global Services (BGS) boost revenues 10% sequentially last quarter and has the company bullish on short-term aftermarket prospects as travel demand continues to rise in key markets. Credit: Boeing

Airbus Union Conflict Threatens Premium Aerotec Restructuring

Airbus is in the middle of a deepening conflict with its largest union and the German works council over the future of its aerostructures subsidiary Premium Aerotec (PAG) that may delay a key part of the manufacturer’s plans to change the industrial setup. Credit: Airbus

Boeing Willing To Accept Supply Chain Risk, Labor Costs For Recovery

Boeing could accept more risk with its supply chain as it seeks to ramp up 737 MAX narrowbody production quickly in 2022, and it will hold its own workforce at roughly 140,000 employees, company leaders announced July 28 while reporting better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Safran CEO Cautious About Airbus A320 Ramp-Up

Demand for more than 60 Airbus A320neo family aircraft per month is doubtful and the supply chain has yet to prove it could accommodate a production ramp-up beyond that level, according to Safran CEO Olivier Andries. Credit: Airbus

Daily Memo: E-Commerce Continues To Drive Air Cargo Boom

If air cargo has been the silver lining of the pandemic for airlines, the e-commerce sector has been the big driver behind it. And luckily for an aviation industry still seeing many obstacles in the way of a full recovery in passenger demand, that positive trend looks set to continue. Credit: Joe Raedle/Getty Images

GE Aviation Posts Profit, Points To Services Recovery

Steady increases in key metrics including departures and spare parts sales have GE executives confident that its aviation services unit is headed in the right direction and original equipment (OE) sales are poised to follow as aircraft production rates increase, company executives said.

Near-Term Hope For New Boeing Airliner Dims Amid 777X Freighter Focus

Despite continuing to defer strategic decisions on successor models for the 737 and 757 market sectors, Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun insists the manufacturer is adequately funding both near-term product development and longer-term overall research and development (R&D). Credit: Boeing

Hawaiian Airlines Anticipates Slow Return Of Asia-Pacific Routes

While Hawaiian Airlines continues to see a strong rebound in its domestic operations, it does not expect any recovery in its international operations until near the end of 2021. Credit: Rob Finlayson

IndiGo Targets Domestic Capacity Recovery By Year End

Indian LCC IndiGo is looking to fully restore its domestic capacity to pre-pandemic levels, but to achieve this goal it will need the government to ease capacity restrictions. During the carrier’s latest earnings call, CEO Ronojoy Dutta said IndiGo hopes to return to 100% of its pre-pandemic domestic capacity by the end of 2021, which would then allow its revenue to recover.

Virgin Atlantic, Middle East Airlines Codeshare Targets Diaspora

Virgin Atlantic has announced a unilateral codeshare agreement with Middle East Airlines (MEA) offering connections between the U.S. and Beirut via London Heathrow Airport. Virgin Atlantic passengers will be able to travel from U.S. airports such as Boston, New York JFK and Los Angeles to Beirut, connecting between the two carriers at Heathrow’s Terminal 3 with a single booking reference and check-in.

Airlines Grapple With Jet Fuel Shortage In Western U.S.

Airlines are struggling to get adequate supplies of jet fuel at small and mid-size airports across the western U.S., as a lack of available pipeline space and trucking capacity for fuel shipments coincides with a surge in domestic travel demand. Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

Boeing Production Ramp Plan Bets On China Approving 737 MAX By Year-End

Boeing’s plan to double 737 MAX production by early 2022 hinges on China’s approval to unground the model—a move the company expects to happen by year-end despite trade tensions that are threatening to overshadow safety issues, company executives said. Credit: David Ryder / Getty Images

UK Government Opens Door To U.S., EU Travelers

Aviation sector leaders have welcomed the U.K. government’s decision to end the quarantine upon arrival requirement for fully vaccinated air passengers from the U.S. and most of Europe—but lamented that the measure is probably too late to save the summer travel season.

S7 To Launch LCC Subsidiary Amid Government Push For Low Fares

The S7 Group, Russia’s largest private airline, will launch an LCC subsidiary to satisfy the government’s pleas for affordable air transport. The new carrier, whose name will be revealed later, will begin selling tickets in spring 2022 with flights set to commence in July 2022, S7 said July 28.

Wizz Air Ramping Up Operations, Expecting 100% Capacity In August

Wizz Air is ramping up its operations by recruiting, onboarding and training 600 additional crew while increasing aircraft utilization as the ULCC enters a busy part of the summer. After reporting a €576 million ($703 million) net loss for fiscal 2021, which ended March 31, the Hungary-based airline faced a challenging fiscal 2022 first quarter (Q1) and operated only 33% of its available capacity.
