August 2, 2012
Airbus Military ha firmado un acuerdo de cooperación con el Ministerio de Economía y con varias industrias portuguesas, dentro de sus compromisos derivados de la venta de una flota de 12 aviones C295 para la Fuerza Aérea portuguesa. Estos acuerdos, valorados en unos 100 millones de euros, impulsan la industria aeroespacial portuguesa y refuerzan el compromiso de Airbus Military con Portugal.
El pasado 1 de agosto, se firmó en Lisboa un acuerdo con los Ministerios portugueses de Defensa y Economía, detallando el marco de colaboración con la industria portuguesa. Dentro de los acuerdos se mantiene el ensamblaje y la fabricación de la parte central del fuselaje del C295 en OGMA, y se subcontratan publicaciones técnicas y el desarrollo de un MITS mejorado con la empresa Empordef TI. GMV Portugal desarrollará un demostrador integrado modular de aviónica, y realizará cursos para la Fuerza Aérea Brasileña.
Al mismo tiempo se ha firmado un MoU con la firma portuguesa Salvador Caetano, que incluye tres paquetes de trabajo, herramientas, mecanizado y materiales compuestos, con inversión por ambas partes, que introduce a la firma portuguesa en el sector aeronáutico.
“Este acuerdo es estratégico para la compañía y nos permitirá complementar a nuestro tradicional socio en Portugal –OGMA-, con el que nos une una larga historia de cooperación”, ha destacado el presidente de Airbus Military, Domingo Ureña Raso.

Estás naciendo y ya piensan en ti
August 2, 2012
Aún no inicia sus operaciones como tal y ya despierta el interés de grandes compañías. Nos referimos a American Airlines y los deseos de alianza que tiene esta con LATAM, donde es LAN la empresa que provee el mayor valor agregado, experiencia y capacidad económica.
Pese a que la nueva empresa aún no decide o hace pública muchas nuevas decisiones, es indudable el interés que ella despierta por el mercado que opera, la experiencia que ha alcanzado y resultados operacionales obtenidos, donde hoy, es oro todo resultado en números azules, más aún, si estos ya vienen respaldados por muchos años de resultados positivos, además de tener una administración seria y responsable, virtudes difíciles de aquilatar y encontrar en los negocios.
La alianza de AA con British Airways en sus operaciones europeas han tenido buenos resultados, según lo dio a conocer AA y con seguridad, desean replicar lo anterior con Latinoamérica a través de LATAM.
Es bueno ver, como algunas compañías son capaces de mantenerse en el tiempo en forma exitosa y ser en ocasiones, ejemplos de planificación y operación en este mundo complejo que es la aviación. El tiempo nos dirá, que resultará de estos buenos deseos.
