Air France-KLM’s Post

Could the aviation world finally see new competitors to break the Airbus-Boeing stranglehold? At the opening of Aviation Future Week, Flydubai’s CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith called for a third or fourth aircraft manufacturer to enter the market, pointing out the heavy reliance on Airbus and Boeing as a barrier to growth for airlines. Al Ghaith argued that increased competition would drive innovation and reduce the bottleneck currently facing airlines, especially with ongoing delays from Boeing and Airbus. Other airline executives shared similar sentiments, highlighting the potential for Chinese manufacturer Comac to rise as a competitor. However, Air Arabia’s Tony Whitby cautioned that Comac’s planes are still in their early stages, needing to prove their operational efficiency outside China before becoming viable alternatives.

This is huge. Learning how the fuel can safely be a blend of 50/50. Although the cost of SAF now is 2-4x more than ‘regular fuel’, this is a step in the right direction for growing demand/supply of clean fuel and more sustainability measures in aviation.

The C919, China’s first domestically produced narrow-body jet, has officially entered the commercial aviation market, marking a significant shift in the global airline sector. With its entry, the C919 poses a formidable challenge to the long-standing dominance of Boeing and Airbus, offering airlines a third option that could disrupt the current duopoly. The impact of this development is expected to ripple across the travel industry, influencing airline competition, passenger choices, and global aviation dynamics. https://lnkd.in/gDSCqPsM #China #TTW #Airbus #Boeing #airline #airlineindustry #aviationindustry

Yesterday, ACI EUROPE and Groupe ADP hosted a workshop to discuss the content of the ATM Master Plan, which is currently under review by SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking. The workshop was organised in response to the perception that the plan has been too ANSP/airline-oriented in the past. In reality, there are many solutions that are important for airports, and the workshop provided an opportunity for airports to provide feedback on where investments should be made in the coming years (2025-2035). In addition to SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, ACI EUROPE, and Groupe ADP, the workshop was also attended by EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, CANSO, Air France, Indra, and numerous airports that have been particularly proactive in discussions about the future. Key takeaways: - The ATM Master Plan needs to take greater account of the needs of airports. - Airports are willing to invest in new technologies that will improve efficiency and safety. - There is a need for greater collaboration between airports, ANSPs, airlines, and other stakeholders. - We are committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that the ATM Master Plan is a success.

The forecast for business aviation is bright, with nearly 64% of new aircraft deliveries headed to North American operators over the next 5 years. Download our Business Aviation Outlook Report to dive into the details: https://hwll.co/6wn5temf

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (#SAF) is key to reaching #NetZero. The inclusion of SAF in the #EU Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) is all the more timely following the release of the EU's recommendation to update the 2040 climate targets this week. This is a prerequisite to pave the way towards the development of a strong, globally competitive EU SAF market, which in turn will be crucial in delivering on the updated EU 2040 climate ambitions. But further action by policymakers is needed. The international race to become a SAF leader has started. Further policy incentives to scale up the production and uptake are required for Europe to become a leader in the global competition for SAF. #aviation #sustainability #EuropeanAviation #SustainableAviation #sustainableaviationfuels #ClimateAction
