AJW Aviation wins ‘The Aviation 100 Parts Supplier of the Year’ Award for third year running
January 21, 2015
London, 21st January 2015: AJW Aviation is proud to have once again been announced as the winner of ‘The Aviation 100 Parts Supplier of the Year’ Award 2015, after receiving over 11,000 votes.
Now in its fifth year, the Airline Economics ‘Aviation 100’ awards is one of the largest events of its kind and recognises the year’s industry leading performers, based on votes and top ten rankings across strict criteria. 2014 ended positively for airlines. The drop in fuel prices also means aircraft will fly longer before being retired and this will require world class spare parts support. AJW Aviation is proud to be considered best spare parts provider for the third consecutive year and it is excited to be the destination of choice to keep these fleets flying safely while delivering investment returns for their owners.
Accepting the award was Boris Wolstenholme, CEO of AJW Aviation, who commented “The criteria for this award included parts stocked, current and new clients over the past 12 months, locations, number of employees, ability to source, supply and timescales. This award is a great accolade and a continuous reminder of AJW’s outstanding achievements in the last year alone. It is an excellent start to 2015 for the Company.
We are very proud to win for the third year running, particularly as it is voted for by our peers from across the aviation industry, including our customers, partners and suppliers, which makes it especially important to us. We certainly look forward to sustaining the reasons why we have been chosen three years consecutively, as we expand our business and build even stronger partnerships with our customers over the next twelve months.”

Canadienses exentos de pagar impuesto de reciprocidad
January 19, 2015
Con la entrada en vigencia del decreto que exime a los ciudadanos canadienses de pagar el impuesto de reciprocidad al ingresar a Chile, los ciudadanos de esa nación ya no deberán cancelar una tarifa que debía su origen, al pago que a su vez los chilenos debían realizar al obtener su visa para ingresar al Canadá.
Como el Canadá eliminara hace un tiempo dicha exigencia para los ciudadanos chilenos, este país sudamericano dispuso la medida en comento.
Medida que se estima incentivará los viajes entre ambos países para sus respectivos connacionales.
Airbus supera los objetivos en 2014 y se prepara para el futuro
January 16, 2015
· La innovación progresiva se ve recompensada por el éxito de mercado del A320neo y el A330neo;
· Entrega del mayor número de aviones Airbus de cabina ancha;
· Una cartera de pedidos récord de 6.386 aviones afianza las perspectivas de Airbus a largo plazo.
Airbus ha superado sus objetivos comerciales en 2014, alcanzando un nuevo récord de 629 entregas de aviones a 89 clientes, ocho de ellos nuevos, consistente en 490 aviones de la Familia A320, 108 A330, 30 A380 y también el primer A350 XWB. Este logro de producción significa que en 2014 las entregas de aviones Airbus aumentaron por decimotercer año consecutivo, sobrepasando el anterior récord establecido en 2013.
Airbus consiguió también 1.456 pedidos netos de 67 clientes (14 de ellos nuevos), y consistentes en 1.321 aviones de pasillo único y 135 aviones de cabina ancha, lo que lo convierte en el segundo mejor año de su historia. En consecuencia, la cartera de pedidos a finales de año alcanzaba un nuevo récord industrial de 6.386 aviones, por valor de 919.300 millones de dólares a precios de catálogo.
Al cierre de 2014, Airbus acaparaba una cuota de mercado de más del 50% en aviones de más de 100 plazas. Entre los numerosos logros de ventas figura el éxito del A330neo, que ha conseguido 120 compromisos en firme en tan solo seis meses desde su lanzamiento. Otro éxito comercial digno de mencionar ha sido la decisión de Delta de elegir el A330neo para sus servicios transatlánticos y el A350 para sus rutas transpacíficas. Otro hecho destacado en 2014 ha sido la continua popularidad de nuestros A320neo y ceo, que en conjunto han conseguido atraer un elevado número de pedidos, especialmente por parte de las compañías de leasing.
Desde una perspectiva industrial, el hito más importante del año ha sido claramente la finalización de la fase de pruebas y certificación del A350 XWB, que ha culminado con la entrega en plazo del primer avión a Qatar Airways. También se ha alcanzado el objetivo de entregar 30 aviones A380, dando la bienvenida a Asiana, Qatar Airways y Etihad como nuevos operadores de este avión estrella. Y mientras va cobrando impulso el programa de desarrollo del A330neo, el popular A330ceo se sigue beneficiando del compromiso de Airbus por la innovación constante. Entre tanto, el programa A320neo sigue su curso tras el primer vuelo del avión en septiembre de 2014, allanando el camino para su certificación en el tercer trimestre del año y sus primeras entregas en el transcurso del cuarto.
“2014 ha sido un año excelente y los equipos de Airbus no solo han cumplido sus objetivos y compromisos sino que los han rebasado con creces,” ha manifestado Fabrice Brégier, presidente y CEO de Airbus. “Airbus ha logrado, además, importantes avances para ser una compañía más rápida, simple y ágil, y nuestra estrategia de innovación progresiva está sirviendo para consolidar nuestra posición de líder del mercado en todas las categorías.”

Boeing, Air Europa Announce Order for 14 787-9 Dreamliners
January 16, 2015
Largest ever Boeing widebody order from a Spanish carrier
MADRID, Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Boeing [NYSE:BA] and Air Europa today announced an order for 14 787-9 Dreamliners, valued at $3.6 billion at list prices, the largest ever Boeing widebody order from a Spanish carrier. The order was booked in December 2014 and was previously attributed to an unidentified customer on the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website.
Air Europa now has a combined total of 22 787-8s and 787-9s on order as it continues its transition to an all-Boeing long-haul fleet.
“Since its beginning, Air Europa has always operated the most contemporary airplanes available to the market. With the steps we are taking, we will become an airline with the most modern fleet in the world. We have always looked for the best quality and comfort for our passengers and the Boeing 787 meets our needs because it is faster, quieter and more comfortable as well as being more efficient and more respectful to the environment,” said Juan Jose Hidalgo, president of Globalia, the parent company of Air Europa, speaking at a press conference held in Madrid. “The first Dreamliners will start to arrive in 2016, this will allow us to grow both the number of flights and destinations we will operate to by around 50%.”
The 787-9 complements and extends the 787 family. With the fuselage stretched by 6 meters (20 feet) over the 787-8, the 787-9 will fly up to 40 more passengers an additional 830 kilometers (450 nautical miles) with the same exceptional environmental performance – 20 percent less fuel use and 20 percent fewer emissions than the airplanes they replace.
“This order speaks to the economic performance of the 787 and Air Europa’s recognition of its value in meeting its operational demands to access new long-haul markets, while at the same time providing an unrivalled on-board experience for its passengers,” said Ricardo Cavero, deputy vice president of European Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We look forward to continuing our long standing partnership with Air Europa as it continues its transition to an all-Boeing fleet.”
The 787-9 leverages the visionary design of the 787-8, offering passenger-pleasing features such as large windows, large stow bins, modern LED lighting, higher humidity, a lower cabin altitude, cleaner air and a smoother ride.
Several Spanish suppliers are part of the 787 Dreamliner program, including Aciturri, ITP (through its participation in Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine) and M. Torres, among others.
Based at Palma de Mallorca Airport, with a key hub at Adolfo Suarez-Madrid Barajas airport, Air Europa has grown to be one of the largest airlines in Spain serving more than 40 destinations across Europe and the Americas. Throughout its history, Air Europa has operated 737s, 757s and 767s and currently has a combination of 30 Next-Generation 737-800s and 787 Dreamliners on order from Boeing.
