Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways has received the 1,000th A330 for revenue service, marking the first time an Airbus widebody has reached this milestone.
As investigations continue into the transmitter fire which severely damaged an Ethiopian Airlines 787 at London Heathrow Airport July 12, Boeing is gearing up for the most challenging aircraft repair and recovery operation it has yet faced on the new twinjet—and perhaps one of the most complex ever undertaken on a commercial composite aerostructure.
Honeywell is also studying potential new engine developments to compete with Pratt & Whitney Canada's ubiquitous PT6 and its planned successor. “In the downturn we saw that the strongest small-airplane market was turboprops and we were fascinated by that,” says Honeywell's director of engineering propulsion systems, Jim Kroeger. “There is keen interest in the marketplace in turboprops and particularly in the utility market. We think it is driven by the fundamental low operating costs of the airplane,” he adds.
