AAR Corp. is seeing strong demand for both airframe maintenance and parts, but executives are keeping an eye on broader economic variables that could create headwinds for airlines, and by extension, the aftermarket.
Vietnam LCC VietJet has finalized an agreement with Boeing, committing to its order for 200 737 MAX aircraft and executing a flexible aircraft delivery schedule to support the airline’s growth plans.
AAR Corp. is confident that its growing partnership with drag reduction kit developer Aero Design Labs (ADL) will prove lucrative as Boeing 737 operators sign up for the new kits and similar fuel-saving products are rolled out.
United Airlines is dialing back its growth targets through the end of 2023, part of an effort to buttress its operation against a series of “looming risks” identified by CEO Scott Kirby, ranging from infrastructure constraints and high fuel prices to a potential economic slowdown.
Maybe it’s a coincidence that two different regulators released two similar messages on the same day reminding operators to keep their priorities straight.
The Luxembourg-based carrier has announced orders for 11 777-8Fs as part of a broader commitment which could see the airline acquire around 20 additional aircraft.
In a show that was relatively low on new commercial aircraft orders, you’d think Airbus and Boeing might be eager to play up the value of those deals that were announced.
Facing challenging times on both programs, Boeing put on lively flying displays with the 737-10 and 777-9 amid growing confidence that certification tests will soon begin on the latest MAX, potentially paving the way for deliveries to begin in 2023.
