SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

The shocks of Istanbul and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make

International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler

International air travel demand increased 43 percent year over year in May

down from 5 percent growth in April May was the third consecutive month

that demand growth decreased Airline load factors were down in every

region except Latin America where demand and capacity growth were in

equilibrium

Domestic demand rose 51 percent in May up from 4 percent in April

Domestic year-over-year demand growth decreased from the previous

month in Brazil Russia and Japan but rose in the United States Having

gone through a soft patch over the past six months in line with softening

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

bag drop Desks unmanned ppl missing flights Shambles indeed

Turkish Airlines to launch direct all-year-round flights

between Cape Town and Istanbul

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Flight TK 45 departs CPT 1800 arrives Istanbul 0450

Flight TK 44 departs Istanbul 0140 arrives Cape Town 1155

Istanbul to Cape Town Winter flight schedule from 26 March 2017

Flight TK45 departs Cape Town 1705 arrives Istanbul 0450

Flight TK 44 departs Istanbul 0140 arrives Cape Town 1155

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

in transport projects

The EU Member States today formally approved the list of 195 transport

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Turkish Airlines to launch direct all-year-round flights

between Cape Town and Istanbul

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

that demand growth decreased Airline load factors were down in every

region except Latin America where demand and capacity growth were in

equilibrium

Domestic demand rose 51 percent in May up from 4 percent in April

Domestic year-over-year demand growth decreased from the previous

month in Brazil Russia and Japan but rose in the United States Having

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Turkish Airlines to launch direct all-year-round flights

between Cape Town and Istanbul

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Istanbul to Cape Town Winter flight schedule from 26 March 2017

Flight TK45 departs Cape Town 1705 arrives Istanbul 0450

Flight TK 44 departs Istanbul 0140 arrives Cape Town 1155

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

in transport projects

The EU Member States today formally approved the list of 195 transport

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

The shocks of Istanbul and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make

it difficult to see an early uptick

International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler

International air travel demand increased 43 percent year over year in May

down from 5 percent growth in April May was the third consecutive month

that demand growth decreased Airline load factors were down in every

region except Latin America where demand and capacity growth were in

equilibrium

Domestic demand rose 51 percent in May up from 4 percent in April

Domestic year-over-year demand growth decreased from the previous

month in Brazil Russia and Japan but rose in the United States Having

gone through a soft patch over the past six months in line with softening

indicators of business confidence demand appears to have resumed its

upward trend according to IATA

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

bag drop Desks unmanned ppl missing flights Shambles indeed

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

in transport projects

The EU Member States today formally approved the list of 195 transport

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

The shocks of Istanbul and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make

it difficult to see an early uptick

International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler

International air travel demand increased 43 percent year over year in May

down from 5 percent growth in April May was the third consecutive month

that demand growth decreased Airline load factors were down in every

region except Latin America where demand and capacity growth were in

equilibrium

Domestic demand rose 51 percent in May up from 4 percent in April

Domestic year-over-year demand growth decreased from the previous

month in Brazil Russia and Japan but rose in the United States Having

gone through a soft patch over the past six months in line with softening

indicators of business confidence demand appears to have resumed its

upward trend according to IATA

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

bag drop Desks unmanned ppl missing flights Shambles indeed

Turkish Airlines to launch direct all-year-round flights

between Cape Town and Istanbul

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Flight TK 45 departs CPT 1800 arrives Istanbul 0450

Flight TK 44 departs Istanbul 0140 arrives Cape Town 1155

Istanbul to Cape Town Winter flight schedule from 26 March 2017

Flight TK45 departs Cape Town 1705 arrives Istanbul 0450

Flight TK 44 departs Istanbul 0140 arrives Cape Town 1155

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

between Cape Town and Istanbul

Cape Town - Turkish Airlines has confirmed that it will be launching a direct flight

between Cape Town and Istanbul come November 2016

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

in transport projects

The EU Member States today formally approved the list of 195 transport

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

in transport projects

The EU Member States today formally approved the list of 195 transport

projects that will receive euro67 billion of EU funding under the 2015s

calls for proposals of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)

This list had been put forward by the Commission on 17 June (see

Press release MEMO and press conference ) Along with the

Commissions Investment Plan the CEF is instrumental in bridging

the investment gap in Europe and stimulate the EUs economy The

investment confirmed today by the Member States will unlock additional

public and private co-financing for a combined amount of euro96 billion

and is expected to create up to 100000 jobs by 2030

Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said I am glad we have the support of the Member States for our multi-billion investment in 195 priority transport projects The bulk of this funding has been allocated to central and eastern Europe which will help bridge the deployment gap between EU regions In doing so the Connecting Europe Facility contributes to better greener and safer transport all across Europe Individual project grant agreements will now be prepared by the

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) and signed with

the project beneficiaries by the end of the year

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Istanbul to Cape Town summer flight schedule from 31 October 2016

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

destinations and now Cape Town is set to be included as a permanent direct connection

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Previously the airline launched seasonal direct flights but as of 31 October the airline

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

SWISS targets 25 savings on unit costs with CSeries

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is targeting a 25 savings on unit

costs with its Bombardier CSeries 100300 aircraft CEO Thomas Kluumlhr

told ATW on board the first passenger flight of the SWISS CS100 on July

6

SWISS took delivery of its first CS100 on June 29 The Lufthansa

subsidiary originally ordered 20 CS100s and 10 CS300s plus 30 options

but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant

―Everything we have experienced so far with our test flights have fully

lived up to the expectations we had when we decided to buy the plane

Kluumlhr said

SWISS will reduce the average age of its medium-haul fleet to nine years

when all 30 CSeries aircraft have been delivered

Kluumlhr said it is challenging to add two new aircraft typesmdashthe Boeing

777-300ER and CSeriesmdashto the fleet at the same time

―Our Boeing 777-300ERs are delivering highly satisfying operations

Regarding the start of commercial CSeries flights I am absolutely

confident it will take place according to schedule We are very well

prepared for entry into service he said

SWISS will take delivery of six 777-300ERs (from nine on order) and nine

CS100s in 2016 (15 CS100s and 15 CS300s on order) ―Also several new

Airbus A320 family aircraft are expected to join the fleet in the coming

years Kluumlhr added

He said the outlook for SWISS this year remains challenging especially

as terrorist attacks have had an impact on certain routes ―Also

competition remains tough The environment in which we operate needs

considerable effort from our side but I remain confident that 2016 will

again be a successful year for SWISS

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

will operate an all-year-round flight between the two destinations - meaning travellers

wanting to explore the Turkish Basilica Cistern the Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar are

now able to catch a flight seven times a week from South Africa or Turkey

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

($200 million)

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

Tourism to the country has been hard-hit by recent terror attacks with the countrys

recent tourism ministry figures released showing that 175 million foreigners had arrived

in Turkey last month down from 243 million visitors recorded in April 2015

Following the attack Sharmila Ragunanan Flight Centre spokesperson said―We donlsquot

anticipate many customers wanting to change or cancel their bookings as South Africans

have proved themselves to be very resilient travellers who are unlikely to change their

travel plans as a result of a terror attack But travellers in Turkey should remain

extremely vigilant and follow any instructions given by police tour operators and hotel

staff

Turkey is a growing tourism market for South Africans with approximately 48 000 SA

citizens having visited the country in 2015 according to the airline In a recent poll

Turkish airlines as passengers what their thoughts are on travelling to Turkey

Out of the 484 respondents the airline says 16 said they were concerned about

safety compared to 64 who said Turkey remains a bucket list destination for

them while 20 said they might consider visiting once things had settled down

Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance flies to 115 countries more than any other

airline and has a fleet of over 330 aircraft The airlinelsquos Africa network includes 48

Farnborough Airshow industry expects fewer aircraft orders

The worlds aerospace and defence industry descends on a small town

about 30 miles west of London this week for what is the biggest event in

the industrys calendar

But the biennial Farnborough Airshow - it alternates with the Paris

Airshow - may not be the blockbuster festival of orders of previous years

With about 1500 exhibitors and some 100000 trade visitors

Farnboroughs pulling power remains huge

However the event is very unlikely to see a repeat of the record $204bn

(pound157bn) haul of aircraft and engine orders announced at the 2014 show

Boeing and Airbus will as usual compete for headlines so its a fair bet

that both planemakers will have stored up deals to unveil at the show

Nevertheless Phil Seymour president of the consultancy International

Bureau of Aviation predicts a quiet Farnborough for contracts

A slowdown in orders is likely with operators moderating growth

delaying or cancelling orders and manufacturers facing production

challenges he says There is concern amongst investors that some

airlines have been expanding their fleets too fast―

Airlines in Asia and the Middle East especially Emirates Airline Qatar

Airways and emerging budget carriers have fuelled much of the order

growth over the past decade But many airlines are pausing for breath

while they absorb existing contracts

Also the production lines of Airbus and Boeing are booked for years

ahead A report published last week by Alix Partners a global advisory

firm estimates that these two manufacturers have a 13400 order backlog

1

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

It will also be a big show for Boeing The US giant celebrates its 100th

anniversary on 15 July and is planning to showcase its past present

and future

For those who love nostalgia a B-17 Flying Fortress B-25 Mitchell DC3

Dakota and a P-51 Mustang will be flying as part of a huge Boeing

heritage festival

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Eric Bernardini head of the aerospace and defence (AampD) division at

Alix says the oil price collapse and strengthening dollar - the industry

trades in dollars - have provided tailwinds for the global AampD sector

However strong airline demand especially for narrow-body aircraft is

putting historical pressure on the commercial aircraft manufacturers

who are now trying to work through record backlogs―

Post-referendum politics may not help either It was thought that the UK

government might use Farnborough to put the finishing touches to

some big defence contracts including possible deals to buy maritime

patrol jets and attack helicopters

But sterlings plunge against the dollar compounded by the current

political uncertainty may mean that bean counters at the Ministry of

Defence re-run their slide rules over these contracts

On the defence side the big noise - literally and symbolically - at

Farnborough will be displays by the F-35B Lightning II jet which will be

the mainstay of Americas combat fleet and is being bought by the UK

for use with the RAF and on the Royal Navys two new aircraft carriers

One of the worlds most expensive warplanes its also known as the

Joint Strike Fighter The F-35 has been plagued by technical problems

and cost over-runs the estimated final budget of the project is now

reportedly between $400-540bn

2

The Lockheed Martin-built F-35 was due to fly at Farnborough two years

ago but that appearance was cancelled after the entire fleet was

grounded when an engine caught fire during a training exercise in the

US

Lockheed and the US government are desperate to convince the world

that the F-35 is back on track and Farnborough will see a bigger

presence than usual from Pentagon top brass and US officials to bolster

support for the programme

And for a glimpse of the future Boeings new 737 Max a revamped

version of its best-selling aircraft and due to be delivered to the first

customer next year will make its air show debut

Not to be outdone Airbus will pitch to the same sector with its A320neo

as the European planemaker battles with its rival for dominance in the

market for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft

Airbuss big beast the A380 super-jumbo will also be flying with the

company trying to convince potential buyers that a viable market still

remains for such a huge aircraft

The A380 is in a sales slump and Airbus is weighing up interest from

airlines for a revamped version

3

Outside the Boeing-Airbus duopoly there will be plenty of products on

sale from the next tier of planemakers Brazils Embraer continues to

make in-roads into new markets and will have aircraft from across it three

business units on show

And Canadas Bombardier will show its C-Series aircraft a programme

whose ballooning costs and technical problems took the company to the

edge of disaster

Yet after years of scepticism about the C-Series viability - in a few days

the aircraft makes its regular commercial debut with airline Swiss and

later this year with Air Baltic

Bombardier and Embraer and others are trying to chip away at the

Boeing-Airbus duopoly Despite a slowdown in orders from some

traditional big buyers of aircraft the market generally remains strong

Mr Seymour of the International Bureau of Aviation says India is

growing fast Iran whose airlines and airport infrastructure need

upgrading after years of sanctions is also potentially a strong market

And he says Chinas aviation market is still looking bright

Indeed China has its biggest ever presence at Farnborough underlining

the countrys aerospace ambitious growth strategy and ambitions to

challenge Boeing and Airbus

Chinese firms have doubled the amount of space taken on 2014

according to the Farnborough shows organisers

Chinese firms exhibiting include state-owned aircraft manufacturer

Comac which last year unveiled its C919 passenger jet marking a major

step into the market for large airliners since a failed attempt in the 1980s

In addition to building its own aerospace manufacturing industry China

has expansion plans that include building another 300 airports by 2020

more than doubling the current number in the country This investment

is to satisfy the huge growth of Chinese airlines over the next couple of

decades

4

However one country that wont be at Farnborough in any official capacity

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

Although individual Russian companies plan new product launches

Sukhoi for example is displaying an intriguing new luxury jet aimed a

sports teams The plane is kitted out with diagnostic seats and all sorts

tech to assess players and athletes in the air

But according to the Tass news agency last month Russias industry and

trade minister Denis Manturov Farnborough is not what it used to be

As for Farnborough our participation will be rather formal I should say in

recent years our manufacturers have lost great interest in that event But

to some extent Russian companies will take part in the show to remind

them that we exist the minister told Tass

Its a reminder that although the Farnborough Airshow is a mammoth

marketing event the aerospace and defence industry will always be bound

up with geo-politics

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

contracts the chief executive said which were however not identified in his Friday

statement

―We are on track with our plan having successfully implemented some of the

initiatives such as the sale and sublease of aircraft the reduction of waste in

catering and renegotiation of some contracts he said of the turnaround strategy

dubbed Operation Pride whose anticipated revenues is an additional Sh20 billion

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

Kenya Airways sends home 80 staff in retrenchment plan targeting 600

Kenya Airways Friday sacked 80 employees in one of the cost-cutting

measures expected to yield Sh10 billion in savings a year

About 500 more workers would be sent home in the ongoing redundancies

following reduction of the airlinelsquos fleet amid mounting losses Managing

Director Mbuvi Ngunze conveyed the heart-breaking but anticipated news

in a statement sent Friday morning

―I want to thank our people affected in this process for their commitment

and hard work and wish them every success in their future endeavours

Mr Ngunze said adding that it was a painful but critical decision

―The decision communicated above is not made lightly he added

It is unlikely that any of the affected employees are pilots whose powerful

union forced out group Human Resource Director Alban Mwendar among

other senior managers after staging a crippling strike Ngunze adds that

his firm had issued a retrenchment and redeployment notice on March 31

2016 as required by law before notifying the employees a month later after

intense consultations with all parties involvedlsquo

bullState will not sell KQ stake says Transport CS James Macharia

bullTreasury silent on Uchumi promises to revive KQ and Mumias

bullKQ managers escape with light sanctions despite hefty losses

It would be the second time in four years that the airline will be downsizing its

workforce after an earlier one in 2012 that ended up in court where the firm

successfully defended retrenchment

In that round 447 workers mostly cabin crew were sacked before their jobs were

outsourced to a third party called Career Directions Limited

The retrenched workers won a temporary reprieve in the protracted legal suit after

the firm was ordered by the Industrial Court only for the Court of Appeal to

overturn the ruling in favour of the company A three-month salary in lieu of notice

was among the benefits paid out to the sacked workers in addition to a severance

package of 20-day pay for each completed year of service

Top managers anticipated that the retrenchment would yield savings Sh13 billion

a year The airline code-named KQ has sunk into heavy losses in the recent years

including 201516 whose operating results are expected in a fortnight

High operating costs tied to expensive fuel and a huge wage bill have been

blamed for the heavy losses In the financial year ended March last year KQ

reported Sh25 billion in after tax losses in an unprecedented announcement that

shocked investors in the stock market Again the high operating and financing

costs were cited to have driven the losses A slump in the value of the Kenyan

Shilling against major global currencies specifically the US dollar is expected to

compound KQlsquos troubles

Expenses paid for in the foreign currencies including fuel rises sharply in Kenyan

Shilling terms even when the amounts in the paying currency remains the same

Several of the airlinelsquos jets have either been sold or leased to rivals in the last 12

months to help repair the cash flow problems

Costs associated with paying for aircraft acquisition have presented a major

headache for the airline considering that some are grounded because the firm has

not secured enough profitable routes

Ngunze said the job cuts are only among the initiatives taken to slash the

operating costs with others such as a review on the food served to passengers

expected to yield savings in the longer term KQ had also renegotiated some

IATA Terrorism amp Brexit Will Stymie Global Air Demand Growth

Global air travel demand increased 46 percent year over year in May

outpaced by a 55 percent growth in capacity according to the International

Air Transport Association

Air travel demand growth should remain moderate in the coming months

due to factors like continuing terrorist activity and the fragile state of the

global economy IATA CEO and director general Tony Tyler said in a

statement Neither bode well for travel demand and the shocks of Istanbul

and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make it difficult to see an early

uptick

The shocks of Istanbul and the economic fallout of the Brexit vote make

International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler

International air travel demand increased 43 percent year over year in May

down from 5 percent growth in April May was the third consecutive month

that demand growth decreased Airline load factors were down in every

region except Latin America where demand and capacity growth were in

equilibrium

Domestic demand rose 51 percent in May up from 4 percent in April

Domestic year-over-year demand growth decreased from the previous

month in Brazil Russia and Japan but rose in the United States Having

gone through a soft patch over the past six months in line with softening

indicators of business confidence demand appears to have resumed its

upward trend according to IATA

British Airways Flight Turns Around After 6 Hours In Air

The flight was en route from London to Tokyo

Long-haul flights are bad enoughmdashbut imagine being on a plane for

nearly 12 hours sniffing stale air and shifting behind a reclined seat all

to end right back where you started A British Airways flight from

Heathrow airport to Tokyo did just that on Thursday when it was forced

to turn around due to a ―technical glitch The flight was about halfway

into its trip when it made the U-turn touching back down in London

after traveling 6000 miles

Flight BA7 was cruising over northern Siberia when it was directed to

turn around The plane landed at Heathrow around midnight about an

hour after it was due to arrive at Tokyolsquos Narita Airport A spokesman for

British Airways claimed that the Boeing 777 ―returned to Heathrow as a

precaution after a minor technical issue though the airline hasnlsquot

disclosed specifics about the glitch

On their return to Heathrow stranded passengers were given hotel

rooms paid for by British Airways and eventually got out the gatemdashfor

real this timemdashat 1030 am Friday morning But the trouble may not

end there for British Airways Due to EU rules mandating passenger

compensation for flight delays over three hours the company could get

slammed with an additional fine of up to pound300000 (about $388380)mdash

which includes a payment of euro600 (about $663) to each passenger on

board along with those who were stranded in Tokyo awaiting their

return flight to London

Add in the cost of room and board for the Narita passengers along with

the wasted fuel and the company is poised to lose big bucks on the

error

This hasnlsquot exactly been a banner week for BA Thursday morning prior

to the London-Tokyo delay an IT glitch at Heathrows Terminal 5 check-

in station caused massive delays for hundreds of passengers inciting

Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

―British_Airways you utter shambles 2hr+ wait 7-lane queue for Club

New FAA Policy Encourages the Use of Safety Equipment

In an effort to encourage the use of non-required safety equipment in

general aviation airplanes and helicopters the FAA has taken further

steps to make the installation of such equipment less expensive to the

end user Previously all equipment installed in the airplane had to

through arduous certification processes making the barriers of bringing

new equipment to market very expensive

The intent of a new policy statement named Approval of Non-Required

Safety Enhancing Equipment (NORSEE) which was published earlier this

spring is to allow a greater number of pilots access to equipment that

makes flying safer but where a failure condition of the equipment is

minor The policy statement is an expansion of the simplified design

approval and installation requirements for angle of attack (AOA)

indicators which was published in 2014

But NORSEE goes far beyond the initial focus on AOA which helps pilots

recognize an imminent stalled condition Equipment under the new policy

includes traffic advisory systems terrain awareness and warning

systems attitude indicators fire-extinguishing systems autopilot or

stability augmentation systems and more

Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

website
