LAN Signs $2 Billion CFM56-5B Engine Order / Maintenance Agreement for 70 New A320 Family Aircraft
July 20, 2010
FARNBOROUGH, England — 20 July 2010 — Chilean flag carrier LAN Airlines today placed the single largest engine order in the company’s 81-year history, choosing the CFM56-5B engine to power 70 new Airbus A319/A320/A321 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2011. This also represents the single largest engine order by a Latin American airline
The order is valued at approximately $2 billion U.S. at list price, including installed and spare engines and an associated maintenance agreement.
To support its new fleet, LAN chose a 12-year Rate for Flight Hour (RPFH) agreement with CFM. The RPFH is a comprehensive maintenance program customized to LAN Airlines specific needs under which CFM guarantees the maintenance cost on a dollar per engine flight hour basis.
The engine order, which is part of the airline’s continued fleet renewal and expansion program, covers 30 A320 family aircraft announced in December 2009, in addition to 40 new A320s that are part of the Memorandum of Understanding announced earlier today by LAN and Airbus.
“We have built a good working relationship with CFM over the past decade and are confident it will continue to strengthen,” said Roberto Alvo, senior vice president of Strategic Planning for LAN. “This new order allows us to combine the proven reliability of the CFM56-5B with a long-term service and support package that will help us keep our costs predictable and allow us to focus on serving our customers.”
LAN became a CFM operator in 2000 with the delivery of its first CFM56-5C-powered Airbus A340-300 long-range four-engine airplane. The airline currently operates five A340s.
“This is the beginning of a great new era between LAN and CFM,” said Kevin McAllister, vice president of sales for CFM parent company GE Aviation. “LAN is consistently ranked as one of the top airlines in the world and we consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of this world-class team.”
LAN Airlines was formed in October 1929 as a domestic Chilean carrier. Today, the airline is one of the leading passenger and cargo airlines in Latin America and serves 70 destinations throughout Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and the South Pacific

July 20, 2010
LAN’s Airbus orders to rise to over 150
LAN Airlines, one of Latin America’s leading passenger and cargo airlines, announced today its intention to order 50 new eco-efficient Airbus A320 Family aircraft. The Memorandum of Understanding – signed today at the Farnborough International Airshow – will be the largest single airline order for Airbus in Latin America and brings LAN’s total Airbus orders to 152 aircraft.
The commitment includes 10 A321s, a new aircraft type for LAN. The airline’s request for incremental A320 Family aircraft is part of LAN’s growth strategy for Latin America. The aircraft will serve as new and replacement aircraft for both existing and new routes.
Ignacio Cueto, LAN Airlines’ Chief Operating Officer, commented: “We confirm our commitment to the development of commercial aviation in Latin America, incorporating the best technology and offering our customers one of the world’s most modern fleets. We continue investing in order to contribute to the economic growth and social development of the countries in the region.”
“The LAN and Airbus partnership in Latin America has really prospered in the last 12 years. We are convinced that our benchmark aircraft will further advance LAN’s leadership position in the region,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “We appreciate LAN’s strong and clear vote of confidence in Airbus and look forward to many more years of continued collaboration.”
LAN placed a firm order for 30 single-aisle Airbus A320 Family aircraft in December 2009. The airline currently operates 58 Airbus aircraft.
With almost 500 aircraft sold and a record backlog of more than 200 aircraft to be delivered to its Latin American customers, today more than 370 Airbus aircraft are flying with 23 Latin American airline customers and operators, representing more than 40 percent of the fleet in service.

July 20, 2010
– Four Ultra-Long-Range Global Express XRS and Two Large Cabin Challenger 605 Aircraft
FARNBOROUGH, UNITED KINGDOM–(Marketwire – July 20, 2010) – Bombardier Aerospace today announced VistaJet of Switzerland has placed a firm order for four Global Express XRS aircraft and two Challenger 605 jets. The total value of the order is approximately $277 million US, based on the 2010 list price for typically equipped aircraft.
“This is great news for both our companies,” said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “It reinforces the message that business aviation remains a valuable and necessary business tool for companies in Europe and around the world.”
VistaJet is a privately owned company offering revolutionary business aviation solutions through its one-of-a-kind Flight Solutions Program.

“VistaJet has expanded rapidly beyond Europe’s borders. We now have major customers in the Middle East, Africa, Russia / CIS and Far East who require longer-haul aircraft with state-of-the-art cabins. Challenger and Global business jets are ideal to meet the needs of our passengers in these regions,” said Thomas Flohr, Founder and Chairman of VistaJet. “As we continue to build our global network, we are glad we can rely on the strong products of the Bombardier business aircraft family to achieve our expansion goals.”
Brazilian carrier Azul and ATR sign contract for 20 firm and 20 option ATR 72-600 aircraft
July 20, 2010
ATR and the Brazilian carrier Azul Linhas Aéreas today inked a contract for the purchase of 20 ATR 72-600s, plus options for 20 additional aircraft. This makes Azul the first airline in Latin America to place an order for the ATR -600 series aircraft. The deal, signed and announced on the occasion of the Farnborough Air Show, is worth some US $ 850 million, including options. Deliveries of the new aircraft will commence in late 2011.
The new ATR 72-600 fleet will allow Azul to broaden the ongoing expansion of its domestic regional network, which is currently being developed with a fleet of E-190s and E-195s presently serving over 21 destinations in Brazil, by entering into many other regional routes that are ideally suited for the passenger capacity of the ATR 72-600. With the introduction of its brand new fleet of ATR ‘-600s’, Azul will benefit from regional aircraft featuring the lowest operating costs and unrivalled performance that make it the optimum aircraft on the thinner and shorter regional routes. In addition, given the enhanced comfort of the new cabin interior of the ATR ‘-600s’, the airline will be able to offer its passengers the superior product and service for which it is known. The new ATR ‘-600 series’ cabin, named Armonia, feature new wider and lightweight seats, LED lightening and more cabin storage capacity.
Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, underlined “We are extremely pleased to include Azul as a new member of the ATR family of operators. Azul gives ATR the opportunity to introduce the newest ATR ‘-600 series’ into Brazil and Latin America, a country and a region with very high growth potential for regional transportation. Azul is a dynamic, rapidly growing airline and we are pleased to be part of their expansion and success. The reduced fuel consumption of the ATRs, up to 50% less than for regional jets, provides a transportation solution at optimal operating cost and with limited impact on the beautiful environment of Brazil.”
David Neeleman, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Azul, commented: “This is a great moment for all of us at Azul. Our commitment for this brand new fleet of ATR 72-600 will enable Azul to serve even more cities in the vast Brazilian territory, linking smaller communities with major cities with seamless connectivity between our jets and the new ATRs. That allows Azul to gain even more momentum in its fast-paced growth; our customers to benefit from superior service with affordable airfares; and the Brazilian country as a whole, welcoming in many underserved markets this new generation of environmentally friendly, advanced turboprops.
ATR is well established in Brazil, where 37 of its aircraft are currently operated by 3 carriers. As of today, ATR has 106 aircraft and 25 operators in Latin America.
CAE and ATR sign master agreement
July 20, 2010
FARNBOROUGH, UNITED KINGDOM–(Marketwire – July 20, 2010) – (NYSE:CAE)(TSX:CAE) – CAE today announced at the Farnborough Air Show that it has signed a master agreement with aircraft manufacturer ATR as a framework for providing a range of products and support services to operators of ATR aircraft. As part of this master agreement, ATR and CAE will collaborate on deployment of simulation equipment and training programs in ATR, CAE or customer training centres worldwide.
Earlier this month, CAE and ATR announced that CAE is now under contract to provide the world’s first ATR42/72-600 full-flight simulator (FFS) and associated training devices. ATR has also partnered with CAE Flightscape to offer flight data analysis (FDA) and flight data monitoring (FDM) services to all operators of ATR aircraft. The CAE Flightscape FDA and FDM services help monitor trends in flight operations to improve safety and efficiency.
“We are delighted with the expansion of the relationship between two global leaders – ATR in regional turboprop aircraft and CAE in comprehensive training solutions,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. “Both CAE and ATR are committed to offering high-quality training to ATR operators around the world, and CAE’s global training footprint and comprehensive portfolio help make us unique in working with aircraft manufacturers to support their customers.”
Under the terms of the master agreement, CAE and ATR will develop and deploy the latest in simulation-based training devices and training programs in a training network around the world. In addition to the provision of simulation equipment, CAE will provide support services that could include simulator upgrades and maintenance as well as leasing of simulation equipment and training centre space when required by ATR.
The CAE Flightscape FDM software will enable ATR operators to systematically perform all the major functions of the flight data analysis process. Flight data monitoring significantly enhances the evaluation of trends during flight operations and assists with identification of risk precursors. The service, offered jointly by ATR and CAE, is backed by a reliable state-of-the- art software tool that enables a graphical reconstruction of the flight to be replayed, highlighting the parameters which are the focus of attention for items such as abnormal events and deviations.
“ATR has successfully partnered with CAE on a range of training programs, and this master agreement making CAE our support services partner elevates our relationship to a new level on behalf of our mutual customers,” said Jean-Pierre Cousserans, ATR’s Senior Vice President of Customer Services. “The new flight data analysis and flight data monitoring service will assist our customers in further enhancing safety management when operating their ATR fleets.”

TRIP Linhas Aéreas Orders EMBRAER 190 Aircraft Powered by GE’s CF34 Engines
FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW – July 19, 2010 – TRIP Linhas Aéreas has exercised its option to purchase two EMBRAER 190 aircraft powered by CF34-10E engines. The options were part of a 2008 order in which TRIP purchased five EMBRAER 175, plus options for ten more and purchase rights for another fifteen aircraft.
The engine order for the additional two E190 aircraft is valued at $17M (USD) list price. Aircraft deliveries will begin in 2011.
“TRIP Linhas Aéreas operates CF34-8E engines on its fleet of six EMBRAER 175 aircraft and this order demonstrates the airlines’ continued trust in the CF34’s outstanding performance and reliability,” said David Joyce, president and CEO of GE Aviation.
GE Aviation’s CF34 engine, the best-selling engine in regional aviation history, recently surpassed 5,000 total deliveries. Every 8 seconds, a GE CF34-powered aircraft takes off somewhere in the world and CF34 engines travel the equivalent of 210 times around the planet each day carrying 500,000 passengers to their destinations. With a dispatch reliability rate of 99.95 percent and more than 50 million flight-hours, the CF34 engine epitomizes the reliability and durability necessary for high-cycle operation.
With five years of service and more than 700 engines in operation with 36 customers, the CF34-10E engine has been performing well in the field, accumulating more than 3 million flight-hours and 2 million cycles. The engine has the highest thrust rating for the CF34 family with 20,000 pounds of thrust and includes many advanced technologies, including a single-stage high-pressure turbine, advanced wide chord fan blades, advanced 3-D aero compressor and turbine airfoils, and a chevron exhaust nozzle. The CF34-10E engine powers the EMBRAER 190/195 as well as the new Embraer Lineage 1000 business jet that entered service in mid-2009.
For the next-generation CF34 engine, GE plans to further reduce fuel consumption by 15% percent compared with the CF34-10E engine. The technology program will maintain CF34’s tradition of world-class reliability for high cycle use and will incorporate GE’s eCore technologies, including 3-D aero design airfoils, advanced materials, and the next-generation TAPS combustor for reduced emissions. Core testing began in 2009. The engine could enter service as early as 2015.
TRIP Linhas Aéreas is the largest regional airline in South America. Founded in 1998, the airline belongs to the Caprioli and Águia Branca groups and is headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo. Skywest Inc. is also a large investor, currently holding 20% of TRIP equity. The carrier currently operates 35 aircraft and will carry almost 3.7 million passengers to more than 70 destinations in Brazil this year.

EMBRAER 190 JET TO EXPAND TRIP LINHAS AÉREAS FLEET
July 19, 2010
Largest regional airline in South America already operates six EMBRAER 175 jets
São José dos Campos, July 19, 2010 – Embraer and TRIP Linhas Aéreas announced the
closing of a contract for the sale of two EMBRAER 190 jets, today, at the 47th Farnborough
International Airshow, in England. The aircraft will be configured with 106 seats, and the
value of the deal, at list price, is US$ 80 million, based on January 2010 economic conditions.
“We are honored to be a part of the solid growth
of TRIP, which is an airline whose work is very
important for integrating the commercial aviation
system in Brazil,” said Paulo César de Souza e
Silva, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline
Market. “The choice of the EMBRAER 190,
which joins the six EMBRAER 175s already
operated by TRIP, shows, once again, that the EJets
family, which was designed specifically for
the 70- to 120-seat segment, offers the
appropriate flexibility, economy, and comfort for
efficiently meeting the demands of a diverse
range of markets.”
TRIP currently operates six EMBRAER 175 jets with a classic, single-class configuration of
86 seats. Five of the airplanes come from the contract signed with Embraer, in June 2008, that
also included options for another ten aircraft (two of which were confirmed, today), and
purchase rights for another 15. The other jet is used through a leasing contract with ECC
Leasing, an Embraer wholly owned subsidiary.
“We first chose the EMBRAER 175, after an extensive technical and economic evaluation. Now
we are taking another step forward, by choosing the EMBRAER 190, from the same E-Jets
family, which has all of the successful attributes of its smaller brother: best operating cost
versus passenger comfort, performance on short runways, and seating capacity appropriate to
our business profile,” said José Mário Caprioli, President of TRIP Linhas Aéreas.
“Furthermore, the big similarity between the two jets will reduce maintenance and training
costs while, at the same time, increasing the flexibility of our operations.”
The Brazilian airline should receive its first EMBRAER 190 airplane during the second quarter of 2011, thus increasing the carrying capacity of its EMBRAER 175s, which is now the biggest airplane in the company’s fleet.
