  • An Air Tanzania Boeing 787 has been grounded in Malaysia for the last seven months, facing critical Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine issues. Meanwhile, Breeze Airways has reaffirmed its strong interest in acquiring a stretched A220, dubbed the A220-500 if Airbus moves ahead with the aircraft. Lastly, Lufthansa has expressed frustrations over delays in acquiring aircraft from Boeing as the major airline's costs continue to mount.

    Until Airbus owns 100% of Airbus Canada LP, don't expect any announcement on a stretch of the A220 as it would require the other shareholder (Québec government) to invest its share of the project which it is not willing to do as it is desperate to find a way to sell its 25% stake to Airbus without losing money on its initial investment in that company that had it own 40% of it. As I recall, 2025 is a year where Québec has opening to sell its stake (or deadline to do so, would have to find the original deal to see the exact dates).
    Pretty sure Airbus is doing some planning and engineering but nothing can be announced until Québec sells its 25% stake. Also, they will want to fix A220 production to rate rates to make project profitable before going ahead with new model.

    Some years ago, Airbus stated that the supplier contracts they inherited from Bombardier were overpriced and their wouldn't be an A220-500 until after said contracts had expired and been renegotiated circa 2025. I'm guessing nothing will be announced until Spirit issues/ownership has been dealt with

    • @neilpickup237
      @neilpickup237 4 місяці тому +3

      Exactly. Until renegotiation, there is little chance of the A220 delivering a decent profit. As such, it would be economic madness to create a further stretch unless there was an imperative to do so.

    • @matsv201
      @matsv201 4 місяці тому +2

      The A220 series also have a 8-10 year backlog. I guess Airbus is going to expend capacity eventually, but probobly so when the contract is renegotiated. Making a stretch before there is more capacity is kind of pointless.
      They also have a somewhere near 12 year backlog of the A320 family. A A220-500 would go head to head with the A320Neo that have a gigantic backlog.
      While the A220-300 goes head to head with the A319Neo it barley have any orders.
      The A320 series is also getting old. It will need a replacement announced with in a decade.
      Having the A220 replace the A320 kind of make sense from a cost of development, the issue there is that while -300 and -500 would be a good replacement for a A319 and A320, the A321 is still the most popular from the series, and the issue there is that a A220-700 would lack the range of the A321.

    • @neilpickup237
      @neilpickup237 4 місяці тому +2

      @matsv201 Unlike the 737, the A320 was cutting edge when it was launched, and while the 737 has relied on grandfather rights, the A320, while no longer cutting edge , is still current technology, and could well go on for decades before it shows it's age against its peers.
      However, that is in no way a prediction that it will.
      The next 737 will have to be a new design. The costs of making the MAX comply with the latest requirements are (according to Boeing) prohibitive. The question is, will Airbus follow suit or beat them to it?

      A320 is a good plane for now. But i doubt it will be good for a other engine upgrade. At least major engine upgrade. A320 is the oldest plane Airbus manufacture and also still the first gen narrow-body. Its getting old. Its not old yet, but say a other 10 years to announce a replacement, than 5 year more to get it into production, than 20 more years to replace all in service.
      So either, Airbus ramp in the A220 as a make do replacement, that, well is a really good aircraft. Or they need to make a clean sheet.
      The advantage of ramping in the A220 is that it will cost them pretty much nothing and they also know the preformance.
      The downside is that making a A321 replacement might be hard.
      Also A220 is a very modern aircraft, but its not cutting edge. This solution would be a limited time solution and probobly give the A220 some 20 year life span past A320 series. Still its a cheap solution that probobly would be loved by customers.
      The airplane is nice to fly and it have good fuel economy

    A220-500 stretch to formally replace the A320 and then design an all new narrowbody that spans the A321 size + the gap between it and the A330. Currently in a 3-class config, the 321 does about 170 seats vs 230 for the A330. A new gen plane that can offer 170/200 seats in a long haul config and 220-275 seats in all economy would be ideal while the A220 can cater to up to 180 all economy. Would be a tough portfolio to compete with for Boeing.

    It is funny to hear arguments that the existence of Boeing is important to the aviation industry - which I strongly understand, believe, and subscribe - alongside the Airbus A220, the exact aircraft project which was sold cheaply from Bombardier to Airbus, due to Boeing pressuring Bombardier out of the market.
    I say this because, the same argument that Boeing used to pressure Bombardier, public funding, I think it will be the same which will save Boeing from bankruptcy.
    Albeit, the US Federal Government will use other ways to indirectly fund Boeing, either for a military airplane (e.g., a Freight version of an already tested airliner), or through another Air Force One major order; or even both.
    Hence, I see this as highly hypocrite, and a sign that our capitalist World really needs a major overall.
    Many people profited off many bad decision at Boeing, but very few will now invest in saving Boeing.
    Is if fair that the same company, from which some shareholders profited off, now must be saved with money coming from us, taxpayers?
    No, I honestly think we really need to rethink this!

I think this is why Airbus are sitting on their hands whilst 220 operators are making a lot of noise as the better option for Airbus in the medium and long term is to give A220 neo family Airbus 3 family cockpit architecture and thus confirm the A220neo as a replacement for the A319 and A320.

      For a smaller start up airline and even some larger established Airlines having all your aircraft as variations on a single airframe type reduces the significant cost of maintaining the aircraft. The A220 has a completely separate development history from the other Airbus planes so transferring maintenance skills between the A220 series and say A320 series is a significant 'stretch'. Airbus views a stretch version of the A220 as competition to the A320neo, currently expressed interest in a stretch A220 is primarily from smaller start up airlines thus the development and modification costs would not be covered.

    If Airbus makes a larger A220, it will start cannibalizing the sales of the A320neo line. To some extent, the A220-300 is already doing that to the A319neo, which is too close to it in capacity and has been largely a flop (there are other reasons, of course, but this is one of the most significant). I believe that's the most important reason why Airbus is not in a hurry to make a stretched A220.

    Air Tanzania is a very troubled airline (see its Wiki page) that the the Govt contiues to bale out with cash. ATC has a history of aircraft being impounded (in Canada and South Africa) due to unpaid debts as well as investors oulling out at the last minute. Yet air travel demand is growing so its best left to the private sector. Their strategy to use 2 787s to the far east was a good start given growing demand of India and China's massive role in East Africa, and not compete on the European routes was sensible, but not if your planes are grounded. These planes were bought by a Govt holding company and leased to Air Tanzania so its all on the Govt to pick up the tabs. The airline continues to be unable to service certain destinations of the fear of the planes being impounded. Without good management, strategy and long term investment ATC will continue to struggle with what ever aircraft, and Kenya Airways and Ethiopian will continue to dominate the region.
