Southwest Airlines Saves Millions on Fuel and Reduces CO2 Emissions with Pratt & Whitney EcoPower(R) Engine Wash
April 23, 2009
DALLAS, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — MRO Americas — Southwest Airlines has performed nearly 1,500 Pratt & Whitney EcoPower engine washes since July 2006, saving more than 9 million gallons of fuel worth $12.5 million and reducing its CO2 emissions by nearly 90,000 metric tons. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), the nation’s largest carrier in terms of domestic passengers, currently serves 65 cities in 33 states.
Now under a long-term agreement, Southwest Airlines uses the patented, environmentally friendly Pratt & Whitney EcoPower engine wash system at airports in Orlando, Fla., and Oakland, Calif., through established Pratt & Whitney service centers. Southwest Airlines is the world’s largest operator of CFM56-7B engines.
“Southwest is committed to being an environmental leader,” said Johnny Holley, manager of Powerplant Engineering for Southwest Airlines. “Pratt & Whitney’s EcoPower engine wash system helps us reduce CO2 emissions while also reducing our costs. This helps us continue to offer our customers the value they expect.”
“The benefits of the Pratt & Whitney EcoPower engine wash system speak for themselves,” said Anupam Bhargava, general manager, Pratt & Whitney Line Maintenance Services. “Southwest Airlines demonstrates that investing in operations that are good for the environment can also improve the bottom line.”
Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates more than 3,300 flights a day and has more than 35,000 employees system wide. Environmental stewardship is a responsibility Southwest takes seriously, and efficient operations are the hallmark of Southwest. Over the decades, Southwest has been at the forefront of such efficiencies as paperless tickets, quick turnarounds, installation of winglets, and more recently, the installation of fleet-wide advanced avionics.
Pratt & Whitney’s patented EcoPower engine wash system reduces fuel burn by as much as 1.2 percent, eliminating three pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every pound of fuel saved, while also decreasing engine gas temperature thus increasing the amount of time an engine can stay on wing. The EcoPower system, offered through the Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners network, uses a closed-loop system with pure, atomized water to wash aircraft engines, avoiding potential contaminant runoff. The system is more effective and much faster than traditional engine washing processes.
Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines, space propulsion systems and industrial gas turbines. United Technologies, based in Hartford, Conn., is a diversified company providing high technology products and services to the global aerospace and commercial building industries.

Cessna XLS Lands at World’s Highest Airport
April 23, 2009
WICHITA, Kan., April 23, 2009 A Cessna Citation XLS landed and took off earlier this year at Qamdo Bangda Airport (BPX/ZUBD) in Tibet, demonstrating the aircraft’s capability to operate at the world’s highest airport at 14,219 feet (4,334 meters). The Citation XLS is a product of Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.
Operated by the China Flight Inspection Center (CFIC) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the flight was to validate navigation aids and to gather information on high altitude operations. Altogether, the aircraft made five landings and takeoffs during the operation in February.
“The flight inspection mission flown by the CFIC is one of the most demanding in the world, and one has only to look at this mission for proof,” said Todd Duhnke, Cessna director, International Sales. “The Citation XLS has long been the most popular business jet in production and this achievement is just another example of its great operational performance and versatility.”
High altitude operations for any aircraft are the most difficult due to the lower density air which results in much higher ground speeds for takeoff and landing than at lower altitudes. At Bangda, operations are also complicated by turbulence and low clouds.
Cessna engineers originally worked with the CAAC to certify the Citation XLS for operations at field elevations up to 15,000 feet (4,527 meters), up from the aircraft’s previous certification at 14,000 ( 4,267 meters). As a result, all Citation XLS/XLS+ aircraft operating in China are certified for operation from airports at this higher altitude.
The Excel/XLS/XLS+ series of Citations is the most-produced series of business jets, with more than 600 delivered to customers around the world. The CAAC, Cessna’s largest Chinese Citation operator, also operates other Cessna Citation models for it flight inspection mission five Citation XLSs, one Citation VI and one Citation X.
Lufthansa and Bombardier Sign Flight and Maintenance Training Agreement for CSeries Aircraft in Europe
April 23, 2009
MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwire – April 23, 2009) – Bombardier Aerospace, Lufthansa Flight Training (LFT) and Lufthansa Technical Training (LTT), today signed the first Authorized Training Provider (ATP) agreement for the Bombardier CSeries aircraft. The agreement will ensure that European operators of CSeries aircraft have access to world-class training services right at their doorstep. LFT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG while LTT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG.
Under the agreement, LFT will provide pilot training and cabin crew training, and LTT will provide technical training for Europe-based operators of the 110-passenger CS100 aircraft and 130-passenger CS300 aircraft, scheduled to enter into service in 2013. The new ATP will deliver training through an existing network of training centres in various locations across Europe.
“The anticipated success of the landmark CSeries aircraft program represents a strategic opportunity for us,” said Florian Hamm, President, LFT. “As one of the world’s leading providers of training services, we look forward to providing the high-calibre training that customers will expect for this ground-breaking jetliner.”
Both LFT and LTT will benefit from the use of Bombardier course materials while using their own instructors, infrastructure and simulator(s). They will employ the latest e-learning, classroom and simulator training technologies that will meet or exceed the European Aviation Safety Agency’s and other regulatory requirements. “The joint training approach of Bombardier, LFT and LTT guarantees operator-focused, state-of-the-art training concepts and techniques,” stated Holger Beck, COO, LTT.
“We are delighted to achieve this important customer training milestone so early in the development of the program for the CSeries aircraft,” said James Hoblyn, President, Bombardier Customer Services & Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft. “It speaks to our priorities and represents another solid building block in Bombardier’s ongoing effort to redefine its service network to better support operators in all its programs worldwide.”
Training services for the CSeries aircraft in Europe will mirror the training that Bombardier will conduct in the Montreal area, where the aircraft will be assembled. Training is expected to begin in 2013, in advance of the first delivery. Bombardier currently intends to pursue other ATP opportunities for other regions which will be announced at a later date.
The agreement fuels momentum for the CSeries jetliner program, which has booked 50 firm orders with another 50 options to date. Deutsche Lufthansa AG, the launch customer for the CSeries aircraft program, has signed a firm purchase agreement for 30 CS100 aircraft, with options for an additional 30 CSeries jets.

Pilatus reports another very good year
April 23, 2009
More record figures at Pilatus Aircraft Ltd in 2008: sales (CHF 661
million), incoming orders (CHF 988 million) and order volume at end of
2008 (CHF 1,197 million), were higher than ever. Other results were
also encouraging, with a record number of PC-12 deliveries in 2008
(97). All in all, a total of 114 aircraft left the Stans work halls. And
Pilatus is entirely debt-free!
In spite of higher sales, operating profit (CHF 55 million) was slightly
lower than in 2007 (CHF 59 million), due principally to the weak US
dollar.
PC-12 sales remained buoyant
One of the big events of the year was the certification of the new
PC-12 NG, which took place on 28 March 2008 in Europe and the USA.
Certifications have since also been obtained in Canada, Brazil, South
Africa, Australia and Russia.
15 years after the PC-12 was launched, business is still booming, mainly
thanks to the new PC-12 NG: 73 of these aircraft have already been
delivered to their new owners. Our Business Unit General Aviation
contributed 61 percent of total Pilatus turnover in the year under review.
Government Aviation reports a good year too
The orders from the Republic of Singapore Air Force for delivery of 19
PC-21 training systems, and from the Swiss Air Force for delivery of six
PC-21 training systems were all completed with success. Our Customer
Support and After Sales Service team also reported very good results. An
order was received from South Africa, where a new avionics system is to
be installed in 35 PC-7 MkIIs.
New orders for our Maintenance unit
A contract for cockpit refits on a further 10 Swiss Air Force PC-7s was
signed in 2008. The workshops in Altenrhein had full order books, too,
particularly with the maintenance and modification of DHC-6 Twin Otters
made by Canadian manufacturer, Viking Air Ltd.
3 new, and 2 second-hand, Pilatus Porter PC-6s were sold. Now a legend
in its own lifetime and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the
Pilatus Porter still offers certain flying characteristics which remain
unmatched by any other aircraft. We are now developing a modern glass
cockpit for the PC-6.
Pilatus: a major employer
Our staff have worked very hard indeed, and will of course reap the
rewards of another set of good results, earning themselves a profit-
sharing bonus equivalent to over a month’s salary.
Pilatus is canton Nidwalden’s biggest employer. This means we also
carry a social responsibility in terms of providing occupational training for
youngsters in this region. From August 2009 we will be offering training
in a ninth profession, plastics engineering, to a total of 100 apprentices.
Forecast for 2009
In the USA, the real estate crisis became a financial crisis. That, in turn,
developed into a global financial and economic crisis. And the scale of
the figures, already very worrying, grows more threatening by the day.
Contrary to all recommendations, investment is drying up and many
major concerns are having to lay off workers in their thousands.
Despite all this, market opportunities for Pilatus remain satisfactory. Our
products are technologically excellent, our prices are competitive and our
service is second to none.
