The Aneo is designed to compete with the Boeing series, whilst the smaller Aneo to replace the aging design. These seats are in a 9-across configuration of The Boeing X, on the other hand, would carry passengers in a three-class configuration, and if all economy. This would put it in a competing distance of the Aneo. Looking at the above two aircraft you will notice that they are practically matched one for one in passengers and range. As we can see, all those technical improvements and clean-sheet designs of the Aneo series come at a cost.
Airlines looking to expand their fleet on a budget might consider the cheaper alternative. Additionally, we should note that Boeing has an essentially empty production line only producing a few units per year that they could easily ramp up.
Airbus, however, has a maxed-out A production line and would not be able to deliver their aircraft as fast. For an airline where time is money, this could be a deal-breaker. As the number of s dwindles over the next decade, the A will become the next-generation platform, Corrado said.
There are about As in prime conversion range of 13 to 25 years of age, according to company officials. Several of those are passenger-to-freighter As, which were converted by Elbe Flugzeugwerke, a joint venture between Airbus and Singapore Technologies Aerospace that will also retrofit the ATSG planes.
It has also purchased a few used A production freighters. Corrado expressed optimism that DHL will lease the Airbus freighters and said talks are underway with other airlines. During the pandemic, many airlines were forced to cull their fleets to survive the implosion in passenger travel. ATSG is a joint venture partner in Precision Conversions, which has designed and obtained regulatory approvals for a conversion package.
Two conversions are underway for outside parties and ATSG will begin receiving some converted As early next year. Berger said the A and A have a common cockpit, which means pilots only require supplementary flight training rather than a full, new rating for a different aircraft type, making it easy to switch them between aircraft. Management reiterated that leasing aircraft offers long-term, consistent cash flow compared to providing cargo transportation, which is more volatile because of its exposure to supply-demand fluctuations.
Airlines and logistics companies are booking leases up to two years in advance to ensure capacity because of the ongoing shortage of air cargo capacity and growth in e-commerce. The strong market has put ATSG in a stronger negotiating position with new customers, as well as existing ones seeking lease extensions, Corrado said.
Companies with lease terms set to expire in the second half of the year are already asking for extensions. Under normal conditions, lease rates decline with each extension, but ATSG is now able to maintain rates, he added. Its engines alone are enormous- some are as wide as the fuselage on a !
Depending on configuration, the carries around passengers. Smaller s and As fall in the passenger range. But relative size is not always easy to determine when the plane is alone on a runway or in the air, so you must look for other features. Another most distinguishing feature of a B is its flattened or bladed tail— which is quite different from the conical shapes found on the back end of a or A You can also look at the outer edge of the cockpit windows.
On Boeing jets, the windows have a sharp diagonal corner while Airbus windows are more square along the bottom edge.
