Ethiopia Airlines May Partner with Nigeria on National Carrier Africa’s most successful carrier, Ethiopia Airlines has disclosed that it may partner Nigeria to establish the planned national carrier. This was disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of the airline, Tewolde Gebremariam. Bloomberg reported that Gebremariam had started talks on the partnership with the Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika on Tuesday at the Farborough Air Show in England. The Ethiopia airlines CEO said he expected to face competition over the Nigerian project from Qatar Airways, which had been in long discussion with the federal government since 2016. Ethiopia Airlines operates to five destinations in Nigeria which include Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Enugu and Kaduna airports and it is a foreign airline that flies the highest number of frequencies in Nigeria. Gebremarian had indicated interest in playing a role in the birth of a major airline in Nigeria. Last year when Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) took over Arik Air, Ethiopia Airlines held initial talks with the federal government over the management of the airline, but backed out when signals became ambivalent from the Minister of State, according to inside airline sources. On Tuesday Sirika said the national carrier committee, which he is heading has held discussions with major aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus at the Farnborough Air Show and would continue talks with other equipment suppliers for the airline that is billed to start operation in December.

RANKED: The 20 best airlines in the world Singapore Airlines has been named the best airline in the world for 2018by the leading consumer-aviation website Skytrax. ”Singapore Airlines is honored to be named World’s Best Airline in the Skytrax awards, and I dedicate it to the 26,000 SIA Group employees who focus every day on delivering the world’s best travel experience to our customers,“ Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong said in a statement. ”The recognition will further motivate us to improve upon the three main pillars of our brand promise – product leadership, service excellence and network connectivity – to ensure we retain our competitive advantage and continue to meet and exceed customer expectations.“ The Singapore-based airline was presented with the award on Tuesday at a ceremony in London. This the fourth time SIA has taken top honours at the World Airline Awards. The airline was also victorious in 2004, 2007, and 2008.

Jet Airways places order for 75 additional 737 Max aircraft from Boeing Naresh Goyal-led Jet Airways has placed an order for 75 additional Boeing 737 Max aircraft, the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday. In 2015, Jet Airways had placed an order for 75 Boeing 737 Max aircraft, and had extended it by another 75 earlier this year. In a regulatory filing in June, it had said that it would acquire another 75, taking the total order size of its Boeing 737 Max fleet to 225. The fuel-efficient, narrow body aircraft, valued at $8.8 billion at current list price, will be delivered over 10 years. It had inducted the first Boeing 737 Max in its fleet in June.

2 CAPA expects Indian airlines to make another 120 aircraft orders in the coming weeks, including 60 narrow-body and 60 wide-body planes. India could place order for another 50-60 wide-body, as well as a large narrow-body order in the next one or two years, CAPA India had said in the report. Last week, full-service airline Vistara had said that it has decided to order 19 planes worth $3.1 billion from Airbus SE and Boeing Co., with options to buy seven more narrow body aircraft from Airbus, apart from leasing another 37 new A320neo-family aircraft. Vistara had also signed a letter of intent with Boeing for six firm-ordered wide body aircraft 787-9 Dreamliner and purchase rights for four more aircraft from the 787 Dreamliner family. CAPA’s chief executive for India and the Middle East, Kapil Kaul, had recently said in an interview that IndiGo is expected to place a big order for wide body aircraft, as it pursues an aggressive international policy. ”India will see closer to 100 WB (wide body) order in next 1-2 years, indicating a strong international strategy.“

Russian Cargo Airline Boosts Boeing’s Tuesday Russian cargo carrier Volga-Dnepr Airlines got Boeing’s Tuesday Farnborough announcements off at a good clip with a commitment to acquire 29 Boeing 777 freighters in a USD$9.8 billion deal. The agreement with the air charter provider included confirmation of an order for five 747-8 freighters and provision of a crew pairing solution, in addition to the Letter of Intent for the 29 777Fs. The 747-8F order is worth USD$2 billion at current list prices, and the 777Fs, to be operated by Volga-Dnepr’s UK-based affiliate CargoLogicHolding, will be worth USD$9.8 billion when firmed up. Next off the block was an announcement that Air Lease would order and commit to up to 78 Boeing aircraft, including 737 MAX and 787s. Air Lease’s firm orders are for three 787-9 Dreamliners and 20 737 MAX 8s. The lessor also committed to 55 additional 737 MAX 8s. If all the commitments are converted to firm orders, the deal would be worth USD$9.6 billion at list prices. Air Lease currently has total orders and commitments with Boeing for 88 737s, 52 787s and 21 777s.
