As Boeing and Airbus lose their appeal to commercial airlines, China may be in place to become the globe’s primary supplier of passenger aircraft before the mid-21st century. The dual communist and capitalist nation is the world’s biggest manufacturer. It has strengthened its aviation industry. Official government reporting states that domestic clients have ordered at least 570 of China’s C919 passenger planes. The planes are ultimately designed for the global marketplace. The C919 will be a direct alternative to the Airbus A320 neo and the ill-fated Boeing 737 MAX. China’s goal is to service at least 10% of the global market in the next decade. By 2044, the growing aviation industry expects to have a presence of 32,600 new passenger and cargo planes in service. Image credit: CGTN

#turkishairlines wants more planes and who will have the edge? #turkish flag carrier has maintained a balanced approach with both #Airbus and #Boeing part of their fleet, however with the production line trying to cope with deliveries it will be an interesting negotiation in the weeks ahead. Quite a few of the #premier long haul carriers have had to pull back their ambitious growth plans due to lack of long haul wide body aircrafts. #Airlines #aviation #aircrafts #A350 #B787 #A380 #B777 #expansion #hubandspoke https://lnkd.in/dE2RdGW3

China Airlines has confirmed a long-awaited order for the Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 777X, plus a small purchase of 777-8 Freighters for future flying needs. 

Emirates has announced it will deploy its retrofitted Boeing 777 on flights to Vienna starting from 3 January, making it the fourth city in Emirates' European network to receive the new aircraft. Read more: https://emirat.es/h71grd

In a similar way that the ‘Big Three’ airlines in the Middle East have developed outstanding hub-and-spoke networks at their respective home bases, Turkish carriers are quickly following suit. Not only is Turkish Airlines aiming to serve every major city across every continent, but Pegasus Airlines is also seeing extraordinary growth in its own market sector. To fulfil forecasted future demand for its flights, the low-cost carrier has announced a huge order for 100 Boeing 737 Max-10 single-aisle aircraft and has taken out options on 100 more. The deal is reportedly worth around $36 billion at list prices. For the full story check out my report written for AeroTime earlier today. https://lnkd.in/eB747Dep

China Airlines is reportedly close to finalizing its decision on a significant long-haul jet order, weighing options between Airbus and Boeing. This move comes as the airline seeks to expand its fleet to enhance international routes and improve passenger services amidst the growing demand for air travel. The anticipated announcement could reshape competitive dynamics in the aviation industry.

Etihad Cargo has confirmed that it will exercise options on three additional Airbus A350 freighters. #aircargo #airfreight #supplychain #logistics #airlines #freighters Etihad Airbus https://lnkd.in/epNa5Yxm

China steps up drive to break Boeing and Airbus grip on plane market State-owned Comac opens offices abroad and pushes for overseas certification as it increases output of C919 jets

Here are the highlights for Airbus & Boeing deliveries for October 2024: ▶ Airbus delivered 48 more aircraft than Boeing, for a total of 62, securing 560 aircraft deliveries in the first nine months of the year. ▶ Boeing delivered just 14 aircraft in October, reflecting a significantly reduced output due to the ongoing strike and its impact on production. ▶ The top 5 aircraft variants delivered were the Airbus A321-200NX (29), followed by A320-200N (14), A220-300 (7), B737-8 (6), B737-8-200 (3). ▶ The operators that received the most Airbus aircraft were Delta Air Lines (5), IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation Ltd) (4), China Eastern Airlines (3), Transavia France (2), Frontier Airlines (2), and Air France (2). ▶ The operators that received the most Boeing aircraft were Xiamen Airlines (2), Ryanair - Europe's Favourite Airline (2), Korean Air (2), Shanghai Airlines (2), FedEx Express (1) and British Airways (1).

#china #usa $BA # Boeing China’s narrow body C919 made by COMAC aims to use long-term disruption at Boeing to take market share from 737. Asian and EM customers particularly. Boeing’s fundamental labour problems not resolved- bosses paid tens of millions, blue collar workers paid poorly, leaves likelihood of future unrest. China has a large domestic market for COMAC to develop its aircraft. Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier also taking market share
