IPS Airways will be a “virtual airline” handling ticket and admin functions; flights will be performed by Germany’s Universal Sky Carrier using Airbus A340-600s
This week’s personnel movements include changes at Spirit AeroSystems and Spirit Airlines—as well as at LCCs in Canada and Oman and a top cargo industry lessor.
The LCC has deferred deliveries of 120 new Airbus A320neo family aircraft to start in 2025 in hopes that the new engine technology on the aircraft will mature.
The total area will span 110,000 m² (1.2 million ft.²) with three hangars and supporting buildings; the largest hangar will accommodate nine widebody aircraft.
Compared to the reference Jet A-1, measurements with 100% SAF showed lower emissions of soot particles and a 56% lower number of ice crystals in contrails.
The tests of an advanced compressor rig design will mark the completion of two related propulsion technology efforts aimed at next-generation geared turbofans.
Ethiopian Airlines says the situation with its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000s has become one of its biggest challenges, while Gulf Air says it is holding back its growth.
