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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

is Russia after years of deteriorating relations and visa embargoes

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

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

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

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

stability augmentation systems and more
Equipment approved under NORSEE will be published on the FAAs

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

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
Twitter rage One passenger PR manager Shivani Ashoka tweeted

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

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

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

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

International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler

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
