January 14, 2021 - by www.skiesmag.com

Air Canada announced on Jan. 13 that due to new pre-departure COVID-19 testing requirements, lockdowns and travel restrictions, it will be forced to further reduce its first quarter capacity by 25 percent, resulting in a workforce reduction of roughly 1,700 employees. This is in addition to the over 200 impacted employees at Air Canada's Express carriers.

"Since the implementation by the federal and provincial governments of these increased travel restrictions and other measures, in addition to the existing quarantine requirements, we have seen an immediate impact to our close-in bookings," Lucie Guillemette, executive vice president and CCO at Air Canada said in a statement.

Air Canada will reduce approximately 25 percent of its capacity for...

Starting Friday, Alaska Airlines will implement new temporary security measures on its flights, particularly those headed to Washington, D.C. or nearby East Coast cities, to try to head off potential unruly behavior by passengers traveling to the capital to protest the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Alaska said it will limit the number of passengers on flights into the D.C. Metro area, increase mask enforcement, add extra cabin crew and set up a dedicated command center at its headquarters to monitor activity on those flights from check-in to arrival.

Command center staff will monitor every phase of the journey to "allow us to quickly respond to and resolve any incidents," the airline said in a statement. "We have procedures to ensure compliance prior to departure and takeoff, and for turn-back or diversions, should the circumstance warrant."

Alaska spokesperson Bobbie Egan said that "if there is any noncompliance, we are instructing our pilots to divert

Aerospace Outlook 2021: Russia and China

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 14, 2021 - by Bjorn Fehrm for www.leehamnews.com

China and Russia are both developing a single-aisle domestic airliner in the A320/737 MAX class, a regional turboprop in the ATR 72 class, and is jointly working on an A330neo/787 widebody competing airliner.

While these are similar development programs, the countries are in very different positions in their markets and industries. China is a five times larger market for airliners than Russia, and its airlines are on the way back from COVID riddled passenger numbers. It has the fastest recovery from COVID-19 of any country and its civil airliner industry is on the rise.

Russia on the other hand has a stagnant market, still hit by COVID-19, and its market and industry have become introverted after a decade of flirting with Western markets and technology...

Making predictions is always a hazardous business.

Some predictions take years to resolve. The outcome of others come sooner than later. If you're right, you look sage. If you're wrong, you look like an idiot.

But HOTR is going to take a stab at it anyway.

Production Rates

Boeing's 737 production rate, which was 7/mo as 2020 ended, will soon be 15/mo. How do we come to this?

Spirit Aerosystems bumps its rate for fuselages this month from 7/mo to 10/mo. It's also "burning off" the 130 stored fuselages at the rate of 5/mo. Five plus 10 equals 15. Boeing's production rate will step up through the year, doubling to 31 a month by early 2021. The latter is Boeing's own forecast.

Boeing's delivery rate throughout this year, and next, will be...

Ed Bastian to Delta Colleagues Worldwide

Additions to our leadership team

As I shared in my New Year's Day memo to Delta people, we're looking ahead to 2021 as a year of recovery and rebuilding, even while we continue to navigate the perilous and ever-changing environment of the global pandemic. I'm happy today to announce two new leaders who will be critical to helping lead our recovery as we continue our journey as a trusted global brand known for innovation, service and people-focused culture.

Alain Bellemare will be joining us as President-International. With deep international experience running multi-billion-dollar aerospace organizations, Alain will lead our portfolio of international investments – working closely with our partners as they recover from the pandemic. Alain's goal will be to ensure Delta and our partners emerge as stronger and more resilient global brands. Alain will report directly to me.

Alain, 59, retired last year as President and Chief Executive Officer of aircraft manufacturer Bombardier. During his time there, he led the company through an extensive transformation that included the certification of the C Series, now known as the Airbus A220, and the Global 7500 business jet. Before joining Bombardier, Alain spent 18 years with United Technologies Corporation, serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of UTC Propulsion & Aerospace Systems. In this role, he led Pratt Whitney, as well as the acquisition of Goodrich, with its integration into Hamilton Sundstrand. For the past year, Alain has served as a senior advisor with the Carlyle Group, focused on the aerospace, defense and government sectors.

A Montreal native, Alain has two grown sons and currently lives in his hometown with his partner, Marie-Josee, and her two daughters. They plan to relocate to Atlanta.

In his new role, Alain will lead our international organization. Perry Cantarutti, S.V.P. – Alliances and International, and Matteo Curcio, V.P. – Asia Pacific, will report to Alain. Further alignment of roles within our international organization will be announced in the coming weeks.

Given the importance of our global sales team in the recovery, I've asked Steve Sear, E.V.P. – Global Sales, to focus his outstanding leadership on overseeing a global sales team that is second to none. Bob Somers, S.V.P. – Global Sales, and Kristen Shovlin, V.P. – Sales Operations and Development, will continue to report to Steve.

I'm also excited to announce that Michelle Horn will be joining us as Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer. In her new role, Michelle will lead the Corporate Strategy team as we recover from the pandemic and build a roadmap in line with our future vision. This includes identifying new opportunities, while planning for the uncertainties of our current environment, and driving high-priority initiatives across our divisions to support our success. Michelle's work will help ensure Delta leaves the pandemic in a strong leadership position within our industry. She will report directly to Peter Carter, with Sue Kolloru and team reporting to Michelle.

Michelle brings two decades of experience as a Partner at McKinsey, working on strategies for clients as well as working in the center of McKinsey's own client service transformation across the globe. Michelle comes most recently from Softbank, the Tokyo-based investor in fast growth technology companies, where she focused on scaling companies in that portfolio. Michelle served Delta for over a year earlier in her career and has been a long-time admirer of Delta's people, mission, and values-oriented culture.

Born in Bogota, Colombia and having lived in seven countries on five continents, Michelle's experience building, growing and transforming global businesses is well aligned with our mission to better connect the world. She currently lives in Atlanta with her husband and three children.

Alain and Michelle will complement Delta's already-deep leadership team, which has positioned our airline to accelerate our recovery and further our position as the trusted global brand within our industry. These additions to our team also reflect our commitment to servant leadership and our unique people-focused culture. In addition to their considerable experience, skills and strategic mindsets, Michelle and Alain have tremendous respect for our values and culture – ensuring everyone is always treated with dignity and respect.

Please join me in welcoming Alain and Michelle to the Delta family.

Ed

Bombardier Sued For RUSTING Global Aircraft

January 11, 2021 - by MARIE-EVE FOURNIER for www.lapresse.ca

A lawsuit of nearly $ 26 million has been filed against Bombardier by one of its customers who complains of the presence of "abnormal and premature corrosion" on four Global aircraft.

Toronto finance company ECN claims in a lawsuit filed in late December that its three Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft are rusting. "This corrosion is a direct cause of a defect in the design and [or] manufacture of aircraft by Bombardier", she alleges.

These business jets were acquired in 2012, 2014 or 2015.

ECN says Bombardier "has long been

Transat Suspends Western Canada Flights To The South & USA For Winter 2020-2021

Mr. Péladeau’s Offer Of $223-Million For Transat, 20% More Than Air Canada

$6 a share or 20 per cent more than Air Canada

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 10, 2021 - by ROBERT FIFE and ERIC ATKINS for www.theglobeandmail.com

Quebec media baron Pierre-Karl Péladeau is urging the federal cabinet to deny Air Canada's proposed takeover of Air Transat, offering to pay more for the struggling airline to guarantee competition and fairer prices for Canadian travellers.

The Globe and Mail has obtained three letters from Mr. Péladeau to Transport Minister Marc Garneau calling for a rejection of the merger, saying he will pay $6 a share or 20 per cent more than Air Canada to purchase Transat AT Inc., a Montreal-based airline and tour company.

Mr. Péladeau's offer of $223-million for Transat does not involve Quebecor Media Inc., which controls his media empire and telecom holdings, but is through his private investment firm Gestion MTRHP Inc. He said he has the backing of an unnamed major financial institution.

The federal cabinet is expected to...

January 10, 2021 - by John Ostrower for www.theaircurrent.com

The Air Current has reassembled more than a decade's worth of reporting on the origins of Boeing's program directive to limit 737 Max training that stemmed not simply from a dollars and cents calculation for airlines, but a strategic analysis that was central in steering the company away from a clean sheet design to replace the 737 in favor of the Max.

The result was intense pressure on Boeing staff to deliver limited training, according to interviews with executives and engineers over the past two years and a review of copious internal documents related to the system's development.

This postscript to the most severe safety crisis in Boeing's history outlines the...

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
