http://avherald.com Incident: Ryanair B738 at Rhodes on Nov 5th 2017, dog strike

A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-EBV performing flight FR-1431 from Rhodes to Athens (Greece), was accelerating for takeoff from Rhodes' runway 25 around 22:15L (20:15Z) when the crew observed a pack of dogs straying onto the runway but was unable to prevent the aircraft hitting a dog. The crew continued takeoff, stopped the climb at 4000 feet advising the tower of the dog strike and returned to Rhodes for a safe landing on runway 25 about 13 minutes after departure. The airport reported maintenance checked the aircraft and found no damage, the aircraft was released back to service.

The aircraft departed again as flight FR-1012 and reached Athens with a delay of about 90 minutes.

www.flightglobal.com United ends 47-years of 747 flying United Airlines' final Boeing 747-400 flight arrived in Honolulu at 15:00 local time on 7 November, ending the Queen of the Skies' 47-year run with the carrier. The flight, UA747 operated by N118UA, was a throwback to the 1970s, when United launched its "friend ship" service with the widebody to Hawaii and on transcontinental routes across the USA. "It is iconic," said Oscar Munoz, chief executive of the Chicago-based carrier at the send-off party for the final flight in San Francisco. "It is an architectural and mechanical marvel, but I think more importantly it really did open up air travel to so many more people." United's 747 final flight was not without a hitch. The flight departed San Francisco an hour late at 12:00 local time due to an issue with the jet's air conditioning valves. The brief maintenance delay was fitting in a way, as the first 747 flight on Pan Am departed New York late due to engine issues on its inaugural sortie to London Heathrow in January 1970. Captain David Smith, speaking after take off, took the delay lightly, joking that most passengers on the flight likely would not mind if he circled over the Pacific Ocean for several hours. "As tough as it is to say goodbye to this iconic aircraft today, it's about celebration," said Howard Attarian, senior vice-president of flight operations at United, in a toast onboard. "We're celebrating the 747 and all the wonderful things she has brought to our airline." United took delivery of its first 747 in June 1970, inaugurating the aircraft on the San Francisco-Honolulu route that July. At its peak, the airline operated 56 of the jumbo jets, before the fleet dwindled to just 20 at the beginning of 2017. N118UA (MSN 28811) was delivered new to the airline in 1999, Flight Fleets Analyzer shows. Fellow US carrier Delta Air Lines is scheduled to fly its last 747-400, inherited from Northwest Airlines when the two merged in 2009, from Seoul Incheon to Detroit on 17 December. United, however, holds the crown for the longest continual 747 operations of any US passenger carrier. The airline has replaced its 747s with the Boeing 777-300ER, with 10 of the widebody twin-jet in its fleet and four more due in 2018.

www.ch-aviation.com American Airlines to retire its MD-80s in 2019 American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) is poised to retire its remaining forty-five McDonnell Douglas MD-80s by the end of 2019, the carrier has announced. The airline plans to retire nineteen MD-80s by the end of 2018 and the remaining twenty-six in 2019. As previously reported, in tandem to the model's retirement, American Airlines will close its dedicated-MD-80 crew base at St. Louis Lambert Int'l in September 2018. The aging regional twin-jets will be replaced by more modern and fuelefficient B737-800s and B737 MAX 8s. According to the ch-aviation fleet database, American Airlines currently uses nine MD-82s and thirty-six MD-83s. All aircraft are powered by Pratt & Whitney PWJT8Ds and seat up to 140 passengers. The average age of the MD-82s is 28.4 years, with the three oldest jets being older than 30 years of age, while the MD-83s are slightly younger at an average age of 19.5 years. According to the ch-aviation capacity module, American Airlines offers 157,500 seats weekly on its fleet of MD-80s, mostly out of Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago O'Hare. At their peak in 2001, after the TWA - Trans World Airlines take-over, the carrier had 362 MD-80s in its fleet. American Airlines remains the second-largest user of MD-80s globally after Delta Air Lines which currently operates 111 MD-88s and sixty-one extended MD-90s. Among the airlines which have retired their MD-80s in recent years are Alitalia (in 2012), SAS Scandinavian Airlines (in 2013) and Iberia (in 2009)

www.ch-aviation.com United considering B767 order United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) is looking at the B767 as a potential replacement for some of its older variants of the type. Sources who spoke to The Wall Street Journal said that any potential order would require Boeing (BOE, Chicago O'Hare) to reactivate the B767 passenger-variant's production line, closed over three years ago. The sources told the Journal that the aircraft United is looking at replacing include the B767 passenger jets used on transatlantic routes and to South America and whose average age is about 20 years. According to the ch-aviation aircraft database, United operates thirty-five B767300(ER)s (averaging 22.4 years) and sixteen B767400(ER)s (averaging 16 years). United has since confirmed looking at the B767 albeit only as an option among many

www.ch-aviation.com Air Tanzania expecting CS300s in late 2Q18 Air Tanzania (TC, Dar-es-Salaam) will take delivery of its first Bombardier and Boeing equipment during the second and early third quarters of next year.

Government spokesman Hassan Abassi told The Citizen newspaper the state-owned carrier would add its two CS300s in June next year with its single B787-8 due a month later. The aircraft, which will be leased from TGF Tanzanian Government Flight, will be used to develop Tanzania's regional as well as longhaul network with focus on the United Kingdom and Asia. To address a lack of domestic connectivity, Air Tanzania has acquired three Dash 8-400s, the third of which will deliver "in the near future". As previously reported, msn 4559 was due to have arrived in East Africa in July but was impounded by Stirling Civil Engineering, a Canadian contractor which had used the aircraft to secure a USD37 million payout for a contract the Tanzanian government allegedly reneged on almost a decade ago. At present, Air Tanzania uses its two Q400s, as well as a Dash 8-300, on flights covering Dar-es-Salaam, Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro, Kigoma, Dodoma, Songea, Mtwara, Mwanza, Bukoba, and Mbeya domestically and Moroni Int'l, in the Comoros, regionally

Russia Struggles To Break into Iran Market The Kremlin wants to explore the civil aviation market in the Middle East, but the toughening U.S. sanctions and rhetoric have diminished its chances in Iran, which many considered a big market for Russian products in light of the last year’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or so-called Iran nuclear deal. Signed in late 2015, the JCPOA came into force in January 2016. It represents a treaty between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council— the UK, the U.S., France, China and Russia—as well as Germany and the European Union. Moscow hoped that easing of the West’s stance toward Tehran would create a more favorable climate for trade and make it possible to place a worthwhile number of Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) regional jets with local Iranian operators. Around the time of the JCPOA’s signing, Dmitry Rogozin, deputy chairman of the Russian government’s military industrial complex, forecast that Iranian airlines could take about 100 Superjets over the course of the next five years. Some would come from a local assembly line to be established under a special agreement between Tehran and Moscow. Two years later, his forecast looks like an unattainable dream. Even though the issue of SSJ100 sales has risen to the level of Presidents Putin and Rouhani, several barriers to such a deal exist. One centers on the need for Sukhoi to obtain permission to export the Superjet to ―rogue states‖ from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The latter administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. According to the current regulations, an item made outside the U.S. that incorporates controlled U.S.-origin content exceeding the applicable ―de minimis‖ percentage for a particular country stands subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as set by the the U.S. Department of Commerce. The ―de minimis‖ percentage generally is 25 percent, but the percentage lowers to 10 percent when applied to what the U.S. deems ―terrorist supporting countries,‖ such as Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. The share of U.S.-made components in the SSJ100 totals some 13 percent. In October, Russian minister for industry and trade Denis Manturov said his country considered replacing U.S.-made components in the Superjet 100 (SSJ100) in an effort to render the aircraft EAR compliant. The minister acknowledged that replacing the U.S.made parts would require a lengthy, consistent effort, adding that the process could threaten SSJ100 certificates granted earlier by EASA and other authorities. But Moscow will have to proceed in that way if the U.S. refuses the requested permission to export to Iran or simply does not answer, Manturov said. Earlier, United Aircraft president Yuri Slyusar addressed the same issue. ―We filed the request with OFAC…but there is no exact time within which the U.S. side should reply," he said. UAC is not in a position to apply pressure on the U.S. side, and so it can only wait for a response. Meanwhile, Moscow and Tehran have agreed in principle on a deal covering an initial batch of 12 Superjets, according to Alexander Novak, minister for energy and co-chairman of the Iran-Russia intergovernmental commission.

Aircraft Modifications In addition to the U.S. parts, the Superjet’s large European content totals more than 60 percent of the aircraft’s value. Many items come from France, including avionics from Thales and engine cores from Safran. Some from the Kremlin’s elite, including Rogozin, have suggested reengining the Superjet with the Aviadvigatel PD-10, which uses the core from the larger PD-14 turbofan now undergoing trials for the Irkut MC-21 narrowody. But replacing the SSJ100’s SaM.146 is not an economically viable solution, according to United Engine Corporation general designer and deputy CEO Yuri Shmotin. The SaM.146 arose out of a joint development program between Powerjet partners Safran Aircraft Engines of France and Russia’s Saturn, which now operates as a member of United Engine Company (ODK). Shipments commenced in 2010 and flight operations the following year. As of October 2017, operational engines have logged more than 700,000 hours on-wing. Earlier this month PowerJet delivered the 300th engine to Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC). Headquartered in France, Powerjet carries responsibility for customer relations, including sales and aftersales support and services. It maintains spare parts distribution centers in Villaroche and Lytkarino. The idea of SSJ100 re-equipping gained momentum after the Russian government approved in late September a renewed civil aviation export strategy. Scheduled to run until 2025, the policy sets measures that the Kremlin would require of aircraft developers and manufacturers to promote high-tech exports. According to the document, last year the local industry exported 11 SSJ100s worth $470 million. Russia considers that level too low, hence the need for additional aid to local industry. The new program calls for allocation of 12.9 billion roubles for various measures of support in 2017-2022, chiefly for improving aftersales support of Russian-made aviation equipment. Separately, to promote sales worldwide, the program suggests establishing what it calls a specialized leasing platform. The body would act as a center of competence to render assistance including aftersales support and offer attractive operating and financial lease packages for to foreign airlines. The program also sets a target for sales, namely 215 SSJ100 and MC-21 jetliners worth $7.65 billion from 2018 to 2025. So far, the only significant Superjet sales outside of Russia has come from Interjet of Mexico. Sukhoi and its Italian partner, Superjet International, promise to deliver the eight remaining SSJ100s out of the Interjet order for 30 aircraft by year-end. UAC considers Iran a natural market for the Superjet, considering the large number of outdated and well-worn Fokker 100 jets that need replacing there. Meanwhile, Boeing won orders for large shipments of jets new from the factory to Iran Air and Iran Aseman Airlines in 2016 and 2017, but worsening relations between Washington and Tehran have presented a threat to its eventual fulfillment. ―In our view, there is no problem [regarding the deal], but if the U.S. government impedes this contract, then they haven’t honored their commitments under the JCPOA,‖ said Iranian minister for foreign affairs Javad Zarif. ―We will see in the coming months to what extent Europe will resist the excessive U.S. [demands], and this will demonstrate whether the JCPOA will continue [to remain in place] and whether Europe can play a role on the international stage.‖ Because new Airbus jets and ATR 72 turboprops delivered to Iran Air since last year contain a number of U.S. components and use U.S. technologies, they stand subject of approval by OFAC. Both manufacturers acquired the required permissions, but the recent United Nations speech by President Trump and his address on the JCPOA give ample evidence of the changing attitude of the U.S. administration toward the regime in Tehran. Should the White House prohibit jetliner exports to Iran, the only viable options for the local carriers might involve taking used airplanes from the secondary market or buying new ones with no U.S. content from Russian and Chinese manufacturers.

news.airwise.com Singapore Airlines Reports Stronger Second Quarter Singapore Airlines brought in a second quarter net profit of SGD$189.9 million (USD$139.3 million(, almost three times last year’s result. The Singapore flag carrier’s operating profit for the quarter to end September rose $123.5 million to $232.6 million, a 112.8 percent increase, on a $194.9 million lift in revenue to $3.85 billion. Expenditure was up by $71.4 million in Q2 at $3.62 billion. The bulk of the operating profit increase came from the parent airline $170 million, up from $79 million - as it grew RPK passenger traffic by 2.3 percent for the period. ASM capacity rose by just 0.5 percent, with load factor rising 1.4 percentage points as a result. Yield, however, dropped 2 percent to 10 Singapore cents. Another bright spot for the airline was its cargo division which reported an operating profit of $26 million, from a loss of $11 million in the same quarter last year. An improvement in trade conditions was credited with the profit as it carried 5.4 percent more freight and improved yield by 9.1 percent. For the first half, SIA reported a $425 million net profit, $103.5 million up on last year. Group operating profit rose 69.9 percent to $513.4 million as a result of the strong second quarter. SIA continues to add new aircraft to its fleet and retire older planes. Boeing 777-200s are being withdrawn from service as Airbus A350s are delivered. The company’s five oldest A380s are also being readied for retirement as new replacements arrive. Low cost unit Scoot received a new Boeing 787-8 as it continues its expansion, with a Singapore to Honolulu service launching in December. The airline warned of headwinds, as competitors ―add significant capacity in key markets.‖ It said yields continue to be under pressure, despite some stability in recent months. At the end of September, Singapore Airlines operated 108 passenger aircraft - 52 777s, 22 A330-300s, 17 A380-800s and 17 A350-900s - and carried 9.69 million passengers during the first half. Group airlines including Scoot and short-haul unit SilkAir took the total carried to 16.52 million.

news.airwise.com Pilot Union Rejects Eurowings Offer On Air Berlin A union representing pilots at Eurowings has rejected a collective bargaining agreement with the Lufthansa low cost subsidiary. The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union has been negotiating with Eurowings over pilots the airline wants to employ from insolvent Air Berlin, but on Monday rejected a Eurowings’ offer saying the airline should ―acknowledge their social responsibility as beneficiaries of Air Berlin’s bankruptcy and offer its employees acceptable terms and conditions.‖ ―This collective agreement would not have created binding prospects either for the pilots of Air Berlin affected by the insolvency or for the staff of Eurowings,‖ the union’s Jörg Handwerg said. Lufthansa and easyJet have agreed takeover terms with Air Berlin’s administrators, subject to regulatory approval. Lufthansa agreed in October to acquire parts of Air Berlin in a EUR€210 million (USD$248 million) deal. The agreement includes Austrian leisure airline Niki and German regional carrier LG Walter, plus a number of Air Berlin aircraft which it plans to transfer to Eurowings. easyJet and the the Ver.di union concluded a pay and conditions agreement last week on the UK airline’s plans to employ around 1,000 ex-Air Berlin pilots and cabin crew based at Berlin’s Tegel Airport. As part of the EUR€40 million (USD$46.5 million) acquisition, easyJet will lease up to 25 Airbus A320 aircraft and assume Air Berlin’s Tegel landing slots.

Aviation as a catalyst for growth in Africa The author, Richard Li, is a Singapore-based partner with Steel Advisory Partners, a management consulting firm that serves clients across industries. This article was produced for the NTU-SBF Centre for African Studies, a trilateral platform for government, business and academia to promote knowledge and expertise on Africa, established by Nanyang Technological University and the Singapore Business Federation. While Africa has one of the biggest populations in the world, its aviation industry is still small, representing only 2% of the global market. Despite all the major challenges ahead, this is an industry that has very big potential for future growth in Africa. One of the reasons why African countries seem unable to attract a large amount of foreign investments, is that there is no direct airline connection to reach them. As a result, business travel and costs of doing business become prohibitive. Foreign investors are less likely to travel to distant and not easily accessible places, even if there are great opportunities. As a result, aviation in Africa should be considered a priority sector by the respective African governments so that it can boost the economic development of their countries. Aviation as a pillar for economic growth Being the biggest pan-African airline, Ethiopian Airlines has greatly contributed in making the Addis Ababa Bole Airport an aviation hub and a gateway to Africa. Similarly, for Kenya Airways, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi is a springboard to access not only the east African region, but also the central and western part of Africa. As for South African Airways, from its Johannesburg base at OR Tambo International Airport, it covers most of the southern African region. Except for South Africa, where its economic growth stagnated in 2016 and eventually fell into recession in the first quarter of 2017, Ethiopia and Kenya grew at a very fast rate of 7.5% and 5.8% in 2016 respectively. In the north, Casablanca, Algiers and Tunis are the major gateways for Europe to access both the Maghreb region and the western African region. As for the Middle East countries, Cairo is the major gateway to access the major African cities in the northern, eastern and western regions. All these aviation hubs in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt have contributed to the high growth rate of passenger traffic, increasing by 94%, 95%, 75% and 108% respectively from 2005 until 2015, according to data from the World Bank. Aviation is the critical link that not only connects Africa to the world, but also builds bridges among the various African countries. It is only when there are better airline connections, enabling the movement of goods and people, that business activities can flourish. With lower business travel costs, countries can then better attract foreign investors and create better business opportunities. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the top-five African countries that had the biggest stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2016, are South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco and Angola, with US$136.8bn, $102.3bn, $94.2bn, $54.8bn and $49.5bn respectively. Of the five countries, only South Africa, Egypt and Morocco have a major national carrier. Economic spillovers from aviation From the 2016 World Bank statistics, among the top-10 fastest-growing economies in the world, there are three African countries – Ivory Coast, Ethiopia and Tanzania, at third, fourth and 10th position respectively. Moreover, the top-10 fastest-growing African countries grew by at least 5% in 2016, with Ivory Coast the highest at 7.8%. Among these 10 countries, only Ethiopia and Kenya have a major national carrier, while Ivory Coast, Senegal, Djibouti, Mali, Burkina Faso and Togo have mainly small regional and domestic carriers. As for Rwanda and Tanzania, they are investing massively to build their national carriers and support their economic growth. In 2016, RwandAir took delivery of two new Airbus A330s, enabling it to reach London and other major European cities in the future, whereas Air Tanzania is investing in a new Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner, as well as two Bombardier CS300 aircraft. For 2016, those fast-growing countries – Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania – that have or are in the process of further developing their national carriers, have been able to attract significant FDI of $3.2bn, $1.4bn, $410m and $394m respectively. As for the others without a major national carrier connecting them globally – Ivory Coast, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo, Djibouti, and Mali – they attracted significantly less FDI with $481m, $393m, $309m, $255m, $160m and $126m received respectively. Hence, if these countries are able to boost their national carrier and aviation sector, there may be a greater possibility of attracting bigger FDI.

Besides developing the aviation industry, the increasing passenger traffic not only helps to support its growth with increasing connectivity, but it also brings about economic spillovers like the creation of jobs in hospitality, tourism, logistics and other industries. According to the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), the aviation sector supports about 6.8 million jobs and generated $72.5bn to the African economies in 2014. Potential opportunities from aviation There are tremendous opportunities that Africa can tap into in the aviation industry. At the moment, the passenger traffic is mainly from 10 African countries, representing a population of about 600 million. If there is a 1% traffic increase from the other half of the African population, there will be an increase of about six to seven million passengers every year. Besides, with the rising middle class in Africa, there will be higher demand for travel. As a result, the increasing passenger traffic will easily justify the heavy investments needed in airlines and airport infrastructure. According to 2014 data from ATAG, the spill-over effect from aviation can be enormous for African economies. For instance, a vibrant aviation industry can eventually support the development of the tourism industry, as well as other related industries like freight and logistics. For every dollar invested and contributed by aviation to the local economy, there is a multiplier effect of six times more on the wider economy. In addition, for every job directly created by the airlines, another 50 jobs are created in other industries. The tourism sector is the greatest beneficiary with 44 potential jobs created. This means that if the African governments, including those in the 29 African countries where aviation is practically non-existent, invest in their own airlines and airports, the benefits can be significant for the continent as a whole. Yamoussoukro Decision While 44 African countries have endorsed the Yamoussoukro Decision in November 1999, the progress made on opening the African skies for air transport has been indeed negligible. The inability to have greater transnational air access has hampered the development of aviation, hence the low intra-African air connectivity. As a result, this creates a big dilemma. On the one hand, African countries want to protect their own aviation industry, but on the other hand, without reciprocal air access to connect with bigger markets from other countries, they are unable to attract foreign investors to develop this sector. Consequently, it seems that Africa is evolving within two paradoxes. First, some African countries are restricting their own air access, while they may not even have a proper national carrier or aviation industry. Second, while the African carriers face market restrictions within Africa, the global carriers are provided with greater access. As a result, they are slowly but surely penetrating and entrenching themselves deeply within the African markets. For instance, European carriers like Air France-KLM and Lufthansa, as well as Emirates from Dubai, are extending their reach to more and more African destinations. It’s better late than never for the African governments to act on the Yamoussoukro Decision. Greater access to the African skies means a bigger potential market to tap into. Since aviation is a very capital-intensive industry, a bigger market will then be more attractive for potential investors to bring capital and expertise. As a result, more national carriers and low-cost carriers can be created, thereby increasing the intra-African air connectivity between major cities. In the end, this will bring about greater economic benefits and spillovers to the broader economies within Africa. Conclusion African governments need to rectify the situation in the aviation industry, by gradually opening their skies to other African carriers. While they can still focus on building their own national carriers, they can slowly liberalise this sector. Not only can aviation then be an economic catalyst by providing a strong impetus to the overall economy, but it will also build the links and strengthen the bonds among African countries.

http://allafrica.com Nigeria: Ethiopian Airline Lands Latest Boeing 787-9 in Abuja With 177 Passengers Ethiopian Airlines, on Tuesday, landed its newest acquired airline, Boeing 787-Abuja — 9 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja with about 177 passengers on board from Adis Ababa, Ethiopia to celebrate the arrival of the new aircraft The plane, which is tagged the Big Brother to Abuja, landed around 11:45am with 27 passengers on board the business class while over 150 passengers were in the economic class. The new aircraft was welcomed by the officers of the Airport Fire Service with the usual flight shower to mark the arrival of new aircraft to the airport. The 787 Dreamliner is the most innovative and efficient airplane family flying today. Since 2011, more than 600 Dreamliners have entered commercial services, flying almost 200 million people on more than 560 unique routes around the world, saving an estimated 19 billion pounds of fuel. Speaking about the newly acquired B787-9, the Traffic and Sales Manager of Ethiopia Airline, Firiehiwot Mekonnen said purchasing "the plane is part of the company's commitment to deliver exceptional level of service to the African market by operating the latest technologically advanced aircraft in the market. "Passengers have enjoyed the unique onboard features of this latest technology aircraft such as on-board comfort thanks to their unique features such as the biggest windows in the sky, high ceiling, less noise, distinctive lighting, and higher air humidity." Also, the Pilot of the plane, Michael Yilma said the aircraft was the most economical in terms of fuel consumption and noise and noted that the passengers had enjoyed the unique onboard features of the latest technology aircraft such as on-board comfort. Yilma said that he was one of the first pilots to be trained on the aircraft, explaining that Ethiopian airline was the second to acquire the B787-9 after Japan. According to him, "I am one the first pilots of this aircraft in the world because Ethiopia is the second to acquire it after Japan. And because I have been flying Boeing for five years now, I can say that this aircraft is the best so far. What makes it different from other aircraft is its noise level and it is very economical and the quality of the air in the cabin is superb. "It is also more comfortable for passengers because the noise level is minimal and the quality of air they breathe in the cabin is also perfect." Recall that Ethiopian Airlines has always services Abuja with its newest Aircraft. It brought the Dreamliner B787 to Abuja in 2012 and Reopened the Abuja Airport this year with the A350 when the Airport was reopened after 6 weeks closure. Ethiopian Airlines has been operating into Nigeria since 1960 and currently flies to 5 cities in Nigeria. It was the only international Airline that flew to Kaduna Airport when Abuja Airport was shut down for repairs. Ethiopian becomes the first carrier in Africa to operate the 787-9 and extends a tradition of setting aviation milestones. Ethiopian became Africa's first carrier to fly the 787-8 in 2012, and similarly introduced the 777200LR (Longer Range), 777-300ER (Extended Range) and 777 Freighter.

http://m.news24.com Cash strapped Air Zimbabwe 'running noisy aircraft', minister admits Harare – Zimbabwe's Transport and Infrastructure Minister Joram Gumbo has reportedly admitted that the country's struggling national airliner, Air Zimbabwe, is running "noisy aircraft' and that it is "ailing". According to New Zimbabwe.com, Gumbo said this while answering a question by an opposition lawmaker - in parliament - who had asked how far the company had gone with plans of a return to "servicing lucrative international routes". The minister said that the Air Zimbabwe was "ailing and not doing very well". He said: "...This is why I requested cabinet to allow us to go into partnership with any other airline to make sure that we remain in the skies. Having done that, we also discovered our books were not in good order and so we have started to invite our own indigenous people who might be interested in aviation to come and join us or come with whoever they may partner to ply our routes." Gumbo said that the government had started negotiation with 12 international airlines which included Ethiopian, Turkish and Malaysian airlines. He also said that locals who were interested in assisting the national carrier were welcome to assist. This came months after reports said that the cash strapped airline and several other airlines were barred from flying to Europe over safety concerns.
