Emirates eyes full utilisation of fleet in Summer 2022
02.06.2020 - 01:06 UTCEmirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) is planning to reactivate all of its aircraft by the Summer 2022 season, including its A380-800s, except for those which were scheduled to retire regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We're not getting rid of any of them apart from I think three that are coming out and nine B777s that were scheduled to come out this year," President Tim Clark told The Financial Times.
He added that the Airbus quadjets will continue to have a place in Emirates' fleet "on the scale it has before", although "not today or fully next year". Clark said that until the Summer 2022 season, some of the A380-800s would be put in storage.
According to the ch-aviation fleets advanced module, Emirates operates 115 A380-800s and is by far the world's largest operator of the type. It has a further eight on firm order from Airbus as one of only two remaining customers for new-built aircraft (the other being ANA - All Nippon Airways, which is awaiting delivery of its third and...

Mitsubishi’s SpaceJet in limbo amid deep funding cuts
25.05.2020 - 23:32 UTCThe Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (MAJ, Nagoya Chubu) SpaceJet regional airliner is facing a major setback as plans for series production have been suspended and half the company’s aviation staff cut.
Internal notices were sent to Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation employees last week, Nikkei reported, with some 1,500 employees to be cut. These workers are expected to be transferred to parent company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or other units in the group.
Delivery of the SpaceJet, formerly known as the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, has been repeatedly delayed and was most recently scheduled for after March 2021. ANA - All Nippon Airways (NH, Tokyo Haneda) was supposed to receive its first aircraft in mid-2020.
The programme has already been delayed by eight years and, according to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, had accrued a JPY174.6 billion yen (USD1.6 billion) EBITDA loss between April and December 2019. Mitsubishi expects the SpaceJet programme to lose another JPY120 billion (USD1.12 billion) this financial year. In May, Mitsubishi announced it will halve the budget for the SpaceJet programme to JPY60 billion (USD558 million)...
Emirates looks to cancel A380 orders - report
25.05.2020 - 08:44 UTCEmirates (EK, Dubai Int'l) is seeking to cancel five out of eight outstanding A380-800 orders, Bloomberg said citing unnamed sources close to developments.
The Emirati carrier is reportedly still ready to take three aircraft due by the end of March 2021 but would prefer to cancel the remaining five. Airbus has offered to defer the payments instead of an outright cancellation of the order.
Neither of the parties confirmed the report.
According to the ch-aviation fleets advanced module, Emirates currently operates 115 A380-800s, by far the most in the world and nearly half of all A380s ever built. The airline is also the only one with outstanding orders for yet-to-be-built quadjets of the type. ANA - All Nippon Airways is awaiting delivery of its third and final A380, which has already been built.
In its pre-COVID planning, Emirates foresaw operating the A380s until the end of the 2020s but is said to be considering accelerating their accelerated phase-out.
Airbus planned to deliver all outstanding A380s to ANA and Emirates...
