DHL Express placed an order for six addition Boeing Co. planes. DHL is buying Boeing 777 Freighters. The purchase takes DHL Express' order book total to 28 777 Freighters since it placed its first direct order in 2018. "With the order of six new, large widebody freighter aircraft, we continue to invest in our future and further enhance the capability and reach of our global air network. The Boeing 777 Freighter is the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class and will connect DHL's global hubs in Cincinnati, Leipzig and Hong Kong as well as serving other key markets," said Geoff Kehr, senior vice president, Global Air Fleet Management, DHL Express. “The new aircraft will significantly contribute to our aspiration to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to under 29 million tons by 2030." The 777 Freighter is Boeing's best-selling freighter of all time. Customers from around the world have ordered more than 300 777 Freighters since the program began in 2005. "DHL Express' continued confidence in the 777 Freighter is testament to the airplane's outstanding capabilities in supporting global cargo demand," said Ihssane Mounir, Boeing's senior vice president of commercial sales and marketing. DHL, a Germany-based firm that specializes in international shipping, courier services and transportation, occupies space in the 75 Logistics Center in Middletown. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Bonn, Germany, DHL has grown to 380,000 employees in 220 countries. It delivers more than 1.5 million parcels each year. Meanwhile, The Boeing Co.’s. health carries tremendous importance to Ohio and the Dayton region. The Buckeye State is the No. 1 supplier to the Chicago-based aerospace giant, which spends $10.5 billion with 392 suppliers in the state, including many in the Dayton region, and supports 34,000 jobs in Ohio through its spending with suppliers. Boeing has said the overall aviation industry will require more than 42,000 new airplanes by 2037, which if accurate, means the demand won’t be slowing anytime soon. Large suppliers to Boeing in the region include General Electric’s GE Aviation, which operates four facilities in the Dayton region with a combined employee base of more than 1,500 people. In addition, the Miami Valley hosts UTC Aerospace Landing Systems in Troy, which has 700 employees; Projects Unlimited Inc., which has about 165 workers; Centerville-based SelectTech Services, which provides support in structural engineering; Troy-based Dare Electronics, which supplies devices that monitor voltage or perform sensing or control functions; as well as Honeywell Aerospace in Urbana that provides lighting for jets. Plus, the Dayton region is home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the largest single-site employer in Ohio with 32,000 workers and an economic impact of $15 billion. https://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2022/03/17/logistics-company-boosts-operations-with-boeing.html?ana=yahoo Boeing in talks for landmark Delta MAX order - sources (Reuters) - Boeing Co is edging towards a landmark order from Delta Air Lines for up to 100 of its 737 MAX 10 jets, a model it is battling in separate talks to get approved before year-end rule changes, people familiar with the matter said. Stay ahead of the market The deal, if confirmed, would be the first order from Delta for Boeing's best-selling single-aisle airplane family, and the first major Boeing order for the carrier in a decade. It comes as Delta - the only major U.S. carrier without a 737 MAX on order - reshapes its fleet in anticipation of a swift recovery from the pandemic. Boeing and Delta, which have had a frayed relationship in past years, are working on details of an order that could consist of 100 aircraft, many or all of which could involve the largest variant, the 737 MAX 10, two of the people said. If a deal is reached, an announcement could come as soon as next month, one of the people added. Boeing and Delta declined to comment. Industry sources cautioned negotiations typically go down to the wire and no final decision had been taken. There has been speculation about a MAX order from Delta in the past, without a deal coming to fruition. The MAX 10 competes with Airbus' strongest-selling model, the A321neo. Both planes are aimed at the fast-growing segment of the market just above 200 seats. The A321neo, which leasing company Air Lease described on Wednesday as the "hottest airplanes in the market", has a commanding lead in sales, but Boeing has scored a series of contract wins in the past year. Airbus also declined to comment. In September, Airline Weekly quoted Delta Chief Executive Ed Bastian as saying there was a place for the MAX at Delta if the carrier could figure out how to bring them in. Asked about the MAX in London earlier this month, he told reporters Delta was always looking at all airplane models. CERTIFICATION TALKS For Boeing, which is entrenched in broader certification and industrial headaches, the deal would cement a major new customer for its cash-cow narrowbody. The planemaker is facing a separate but increasingly high-stakes battle to win certification of the MAX 10 before a new safety standard on cockpit alerts takes effect at year-end. The deadline for changes was introduced as part of broader regulatory reforms at the Federal Aviation Administration following fatal crashes of a smaller MAX model in 2018 and 2019. Boeing has held talks with some lawmakers about the potential of asking for more time, but has not formally sought an extension to address a flight deck issue, the people said. Asked about the possibility, an FAA spokesperson said, "safety dictates the timeline of certification projects". Only Congress can extend the deadline if the FAA does not certify the MAX before end-year. Boeing has raised with some lawmakers the potential impact on jobs and production if the 737 MAX 10 is not approved, the people said. "We continue to work transparently with the FAA to provide the information they need, and we are committed to meeting their expectations to achieve 737-10 certification,” Boeing said in an emailed statement. It did not comment directly on any talks with lawmakers but said the jet would support "tens of thousands of jobs at Boeing and across our supply chain, including in Washington state". The issue is also likely to get entangled in the confirmation hearings of the next FAA administrator. Current FAA Administrator Steve Dickson is set to step down March 31. The Seattle Times this month cited an earlier Boeing submission to the FAA citing an estimated cost of full compliance for the MAX at "more than $10 billion". https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/exclusive-boeing-talks-landmark-delta-091335155.html ISASI 2022 Brisbane Australia Current Challenges for Aviation Safety Call for Papers ISASI 2022 will b e a fully interactive "hybrid” conference for delegates to meet either face to face at the Pullman Hotel King George Square Brisbane Australia or to register and participate “ on line August 30 to September 1 , 2022 The committee welcome s the offer of presentations that will address the challenges for contemporary aviation safety in the new normal including: · Recent accident/incident investigations. · Novel and new investigations techniques. · Data investigation and analysis. · Future technological developments for aviation safety. · Investigator training and contemporary selection criteria. · Wreckage recovery and analysis. · Developments in analysis and understanding of human performance with specific reference to pandemics.
