Airlines Look to make announcements at Le Bourget Fleet


At the top of Aerolineas Argentinas, long ago stopped being a novelty - the balance is tipped toward those who propose to divest of three B747-400 with which the company operates the route to Madrid. The pilots are opposed, particularly, of course, those who fly the fleet. To maintain, the alternatives would extend for three years, the leasing of existing internal reforming equipment, or take other aircraft, which could be three former JAL offers AerSale. Obviously there is always the alternative, advocated by many internally, to unify the wide-body fleet of A340 and A330. Just a few days ago Airbus executives visited the company to bring a supply of four new A330 could join the fleet, three in 2014 and one in 2015. The signing of this agreement could be announced during the 49th International Exhibition of Paris Le Bourget, which will take place from 20 to 26 June. Boeing, meanwhile, have brought a new offer for the 20-see B737/800 Aviation News-April 7, with a clause allowing for B737/900 change, seeking to please Airlines also making the announcement during a major event global aviation and thereby leverage its international impact.

Both operations would have financing for 85% of the aircraft.

On the other hand, the first B737 with the new scheme Aerolineas Argentinas flights are already underway. The aircraft is in Malaysia, finishing processes certifications and test flights before taking its ferry flight to Argentina. The aircraft registration VH-displaying the VH-VBB VBA and it operated with Australia's Virgin Blue Airlines. The B737 will be incorporated by leases signed with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), and come with a configuration similar to that of most of the 12 B737-700 that the company currently operates in Argentina. Despite the 10 year average with these teams (the oldest was built in April 2001 and the newest in October 2002) the full incorporation of these planes reduces the average fleet age of 15.6 years in airlines 2009, to 10.8 years in 2012, is a modernization of 31% in terms of average age. The duration of the agreement is for 60 months being the monthly rent of U.S. $ 239,000 per month per aircraft. On the Web can already see a video of the B737 taking off at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport
