September 25, 2009
São José dos Campos, September 24, 2009 –
Embraer delivers the first EMBRAER 195 jet,
today, to Germany’s Lufthansa at the
Company’s headquarters in São José dos
Campos, Brazil. The aircraft will be operated
by Lufthansa CityLine, the wholly owned
regional partner of the German carrier and one
of the five partners in the Lufthansa Regional
family. The original deal was announced in
June 2007, with the confirmation of 30 firm
orders for the EMBRAER 190 jet, including
options to take any model of the E-Jets family.
“It’s a great honor to see our E-Jets sporting the colors of such a renowned airline as
Lufthansa,” said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market. “We´re
proud to have been selected as the backbone for the renewal of the Lufthansa regional fleet,
and our satisfaction is even greater, because we have recently achieved the outstanding
milestone of 600 E-Jets operating with 49 airlines in 34 countries.”
Lufthansa CityLine’s EMBRAER 195 is configured for 116 passengers in a dual-class
layout, with a moveable divider. The new aircraft joins the modern and efficient regional
fleet Lufthansa has come to depend upon for its European routes and feeder flights to its longhaul
network. Based at the carrier’s hub in Munich, the E-Jets will develop new routes and
expand Lufthansa’s regional outreach, offering passengers more comfort and safety,
without the undesirable middle seat.
“We are very happy to receive our first state-of-the-art E-Jet,” said Klaus Froese,
Managing Director of Lufthansa CityLine. “I believe it will be the ideal aircraft to renew
our ageing fleet and to develop new routes, as we continue to enhance our service to our
valued customers.”
“Lufthansa is very proud to take delivery of the first EMBRAER 195 for CityLine,” said Nico
Buchholz, Lufthansa Senior Vice President, Corporate Fleet. “With a total of 20 E-Jets for
CityLine and ten already delivered to Air Dolomiti and Augsburg Airways, Lufthansa will continue its strive to further upgrade its fleet to offer its customers an unrivalled premium
product on its regional network, with exceptional levels of comfort.”
The EMBRAER 195 is the biggest and newest of the four members of the EMBRAER 170/190
E-Jets family. It entered commercial operations in September 2006. On June 30, 2009, the E-Jets
family had logged 882 firm orders and 794 options, a significant milestone for a commercial
aviation program in such a short time. With more than 600 aircraft delivered, the family of E-Jets
is about to complete 3 million flight hours, having carried over 130 million passengers.

Boeing and FedEx Express Celebrate Carrier’s First 777 Freighter Delivery
September 23, 2009
New twinjet freighter to improve operational and environmental performance
EVERETT, Wash., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Boeing (NYSE: BA) and FedEx Express today celebrated the delivery of the world’s largest air cargo carrier’s first 777 Freighter. The world’s largest and most capable twinjet freighter will help FedEx Express deliver more cargo even faster, allowing the carrier to offer customers greater flexibility.
This is Boeing’s ninth 777 Freighter delivery and marks the first 777 Freighter to enter service with a U.S.-based global freight carrier.
“The 777F is a game changer,” said Michael L. Ducker, president, International, FedEx Express. “Its operational efficiencies and environmental benefits alone are impressive, but combine those advantages with the service improvements it delivers and FedEx Express will be able to take international shipping to another level. Our customers around the world will benefit from more point-to-point routes and the shorter flight times, increasing their competitiveness in the global marketplace.”
With the 777 Freighter, transit times from points in Asia to the FedEx hub in Memphis, Tenn., for example, will drop by one to three hours compared with the MD-11 Freighter. This will allow FedEx to accept packages from its customers later in the day and still deliver them on time.
“The 777 Freighter will have a unique role for FedEx Express, providing exceptional range that brings new efficiency to the airline and its customers,” said Kevin Schemm, vice president, North America Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The 777 Freighter will allow FedEx Express to operate point-to-point routes that save valuable flying time, coupled with outstanding fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility.”
In the FedEx Express operation, the 777 Freighter can fly 5,800 nautical miles (6,675 statute miles, 10,740 km), an increase of 2,100 nautical miles (2,410 statute miles, 3,890 km) versus the airline’s MD-11 Freighter fleet. The FedEx 777 Freighter has a revenue payload capacity of 215,000 pounds (97.5 metric tons), a 37,000-pound (16.7-metric-ton) increase over the MD-11 Freighter.
The 777 Freighter uses 18 percent less fuel than the MD-11 Freighter on comparable FedEx Express routes, reduces maintenance cost and provides quieter takeoffs and landings that meet airport noise standards.
Some 58 customers have ordered more than 1,100 777s, including 71 777 Freighters.
Textron’s Bell Helicopter Awards Latrobe Specialty Steel Premier Supplier Status
September 23, 2009
LATROBE, Pa., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Textron’s Bell Helicopter awarded Latrobe Specialty Steel “Premier Supplier” status. Bell’s Premier Supplier status requires Latrobe Specialty Steel (LSS), an ISO9001 and AS9100 registered company, to deliver on-time quality material and pass an examination of an on-site team of Bell inspectors. The award confirms LSS’s critical role in Bell Helicopter’s success.
“The Bell assessment auditors looked at the core aspects of LSS’s quality systems, but they also examined rarely inspected niches. For example, they looked at management structure, security, disaster recovery, environmental policy and even housekeeping,” said Scott Balliett, LSS’s Director of Technology and Quality Systems. Balliett continued, “As experienced aerospace materials suppliers, we work with our customers’ auditors regularly. Bell Helicopter’s precursor audit for Premier Supplier status went beyond the routine inspection.”
In September 2008, Bell Helicopter picked 20 Premier Supplier candidates with “Business Support Overhead” that sustains superior products. The consequent rigorous award inspection requires a minimum score of 87 percent, but LSS comfortably exceeded this threshold.
The time gap between the on-site assessment and the Premier Supplier award allowed Bell Helicopter to measure LSS’s delivery timeliness. LSS delivered superior aerospace materials to Bell Helicopter 98 percent on-time.
LSS makes alloys for Bell Helicopter’s rotor shafts and drive systems used on civilian and military helicopters.
Latrobe Specialty Steel, in continual business since 1913 in Latrobe, PA, has been supplying the aerospace and defense sectors since 1958. The firm employs approximately 900 people.
