Bombardier Becomes First Oem To Earn Accreditaton From Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (Afra)
Bombardier Becomes First Oem To Earn Accreditaton From Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (Afra)
Author: Market Wire
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Feb. 23, 2010) - Bombardier Aerospace and the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) today announced that Bombardier's aircraft dismantling operations have officially been accreditated by AFRA. The accreditation, which was awarded following a comprehensive two-day audit, covers teardown efforts for CRJ100/200 regional jets at Bombardier's Service Centers in Bridgeport West Virginia and Tucson, Arizona. AFRA is recognized worldwide for its leadership in promoting best practices for salvaging and recycling components taken from aging aircraft during disassembly.
The AFRA endorsement marks another step in Bombardier's drive to reduce the environmental impact of its products at each stage of the aircraft's life cycle, up to and including the end of its service life.
"Bombardier is proud to be the first original equipment manufacturer to obtain this certification," said James Hoblyn, President, Customer Services & Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace. "We are committed to being at the forefront of the aerospace industry with regard to corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship, and are continually embedding sustainable development principles into our day-to-day practices - whether it be in recycling aircraft parts, reducing and offsetting carbon emissions or desigining aircraft with reduced environmental impact."
"We are delighted to extend AFRA's accreditation to such a prominent and prestigious company as Bombardier Aerospace," said Martin Fraissignes, Executive Director of AFRA. "Their AFRA accreditation further recognises Bombardier Aerospace's continuing commitment to environmental best practice and operational excellence in the field of aircraft dismantling and parts recycling. The fact that a distinguished company such as Bombardier Aerospace seeks AFRA accreditation for their aircraft recycling activities, further reinforces the fact that AFRA is the global industry leader in defining environmental and technical standards in managing end of life aircraft."
"AFRA now sets the industry standards for the safe and sustainable disassembly of end-of-service aircraft - and these standards are of such environmental and financial value," continued Mr. Fraissignes, "that the leaders in the industry continue to adopt them, as can be seen by the steadily increasing interest in AFRA accreditation."
In August, Bombardier announced that it would work in conjunction with Magellan Aircraft Services LLLP of Charlotte, North Carolina to disassemble CRJ100/200 regional jets, refurbish useable components and remarket them to operators. Bombardier has estimated that each of the 10 CRJ100/200 aircraft covered under the initial agreement and managed by Bombardier Commercial Aircraft's Asset Management Group (AMG) has an estimated 1,500 serviceable parts, including 300 line replaceable units (LRUs).
Magellan was awarded AFRA accreditation in December 2009 and will facilitate access to genuine, certified parts for operators of CRJ aircraft around the world through its global network.
On December 1, 2009, Bombardier Inc. issued its second company-wide corporate social responsibility report, Moving Forward Responsibly, available on the company website.
The legendary CRJ100/200 aircraft, the world's first 50-seat regional jets, was launched in March 1989. As of January 31, 2010, Bombardier had delivered more than 1,040 CRJ100/200/440 aircraft and their corporate variants to operators around the world.

Sukhoi, Indonesian airline sign $951 mln deal on 30 SSJ100s
Sukhoi, Indonesian airline sign $951 mln deal on 30 SSJ100s
Russia's Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and Indonesia's regional carrier Kartika Airlines on Monday inked a $951 million contract for the delivery of 30 Sukhoi Superjet 100s.
The contract is a solid order for 30 airplanes to be shipped between 2012 and 2015.
Superjet-100 is a family of medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi in cooperation with U.S. and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell.
Kartika Airlines CEO Kim J. Mulia said SSJ100 would help fill a "regional niche" on Indonesia's carrier market because most national airlines were focused on larger-capacity aircraft.
He added that SSJ100 would open opportunities for new routes and effective operation on point-to-point medium-haul routes with optimal passenger traffic.

Russia's Sukhoi wants 15% of regional-jet market by 2019
Russia's Sukhoi hopes to control 15% of the world's medium-haul airplane market by 2029, the company's CEO said on Tuesday.
Mikhail Pogosyan said Sukhoi could sell up to 800 Superjet 100 aircraft globally in the next 20 years.
He cited global market studies estimating the regional-jet market demand in the next two decades at around 6,000 aircraft.
"So 15% of the market is quite a realistic and viable task," he said.

Earlier on Tuesday Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and Thailand's Orient Thai Airlines signed a memorandum of intent on the delivery of 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft and an option on 12 more airliners.
The contract, expected to be signed in late 2010, would see a significant part of the Orient Thai Airlines fleet made up of Russian-built aircraft. At present the company owns 11 McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and four Boeing-747s.
The SSJ100s are to be delivered between 2011 and 2014.

Brazil, Russia win Farnborough's small jet orders

Brazil, Russia win Farnborough's small jet orders
FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom — Brazilian and Russian firms won the race for small regional jet orders at the Farnborough airshow on Wednesday, leaving new player Japan and Canada's Bombardier trailing badly.
Airlines and leasing companies splashed out billions of dollars on planes carrying around 100 passengers from Brazil's Embraer and Russia's Sukhoi but sat tight on Mitsubishi's new planned jet and Bombardier's CSeries.
Short-haul planes are being snapped up to meet soaring demand for air travel across emerging markets, especially in Asia, and ahead of an expected upturn in European and US economic growth.
Russian aircraft maker Sukhoi said Wednesday it had sold 30 single-aisle Superjet 100s worth more than 900 million dollars (702 million euros) to leasing group Pearl Aircraft Corporation.
Pearl also has an option to buy 15 more of the planes, according to an announcement at the Farnborough International Airshow near London.
"We are convinced it is the best 100-seat aircraft available and proposed," said Pearl chief executive Jan Soderberg. "Its superior economics outclass all its competitors."
Sukhoi, renowned for its military aircraft, also announced at the biennial Farnborough event the sale of 30 Superjet 100s to Indonesian regional carrier Kartika Airlines, confirming a preliminary agreement.
By contrast Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), which is making Japan's first ever passenger jet, failed to secure any new orders at Farnborough.
"We have been trying very hard to make an announcement during the show but unfortunately we couldn't make it, but we are expecting to reach some agreement in the foreseeable future," MRJ's head of sales Masao Yamagami told reporters.
The state-backed company is expected to take to the skies in 2014 with its 70-90 seater fuel-efficient planes. MRJ is also looking at 100-seater aircraft.
The ambitious project got a huge boost ahead of Farnborough when MRJ landed a 100-plane order worth up to 4.0 billion dollars from US carrier Trans States.
It was the second order for the MRJ which officially got off the ground in 2008 after launch customer All Nippon Airways agreed to buy up to 25 of the jets.
But it quickly flew into the turbulence of the global economic downturn that forced many carriers, including Japan Airlines, to slash jobs and routes to keep flying.
There was also disappointment at Farnborough for Canada's Bombardier, which had hoped to announce a deal to sell its new CSeries jet to Qatar Airways.
The Gulf carrier said it was still interested in acquiring the plane after snapping up two Bombardier Global 5000 business jets worth 90 million dollars.
The biggest success of the regionals went to Embraer, which on Tuesday unveiled a deal to sell up to 140 of its small jets worth 5.0 billion dollars.
Embraer said British low-cost airline Flybe agreed to buy at least 35 Embraer 88-seater E175 jets, with options on another 65 planes and purchase rights for a further 40.
Embraer also won an order for 24 of its E190 jet from Republic Airlines in the United States worth 960 dollars at catalogue prices.
Competition in the small jet sector looks set to intensify as China is also planning to enter the market.
The Farnborough show is one of aviation's biggest trade events, with deals announced over its three days worth more than 50 billion dollars, mostly for US group Boeing and its European rival Airbus.
On Wednesday, Boeing said top US carrier American Airlines ordered 35 of its medium-haul 737 aircraft, worth 2.7 billion dollars at catalogue prices.
