Airbus sales chief John Leahy had to wait for ten months for the final signature. For the aircraft manufacturer may announce twice the largest of the numbers here and value second largest order in its history the same: October 2014 Airbus was already known that India’s largest low cost airline IndiGo a letter of intent to purchase 250 copies of the new fuel-efficient model A320neo is (Neo for New Engines option) has signed.
According to the list price is a contract for $ 26.6 billion – but no airline pays the catalog price in such large orders. Discounts in the double-digit range are common. Today Airbus announced that the order is now final as firm order in the books. To be delivered, the aircraft 2018-2026. ‘/ P>
The Mega contract is a bet that the emerging low-cost airline IndiGo developed in the growing Indian market as rapidly as expected and that Airbus and its suppliers need to increase their production, therefore, continue. Critics are already warning of a contract bladder.
an extraordinary success story
IndiGo currently operates only a fleet of nearly 100 classic Airbus A320. In 2011, the Indian low cost airline ordered for the first time the fuel-saving version of the best-selling Airbus model. Along with the contract now finally agreed the Indians have so alone 430 Airbus A320neo ordered – for nearly 46 billion dollars.
For Airbus A320neo has been an extraordinary success story. It is the model with the most orders in the history of aviation. Under the new contract IndiGo are now more than 4,100 firm orders for the A320neo model in the books – though only towards the end of the first aircraft to be delivered to a customer. It goes to the discerning customer Qatar Airways.
In order Airbus has its permanent rival Boeing clearly suspended in the category of economical aircraft – the group speaks in the long term by a 60-to-40 ratio in favor of the Europeans busy.
production for years to come
Crucial for Airbus and its suppliers will be, however, how sustainable the Orders are. So the question is connected, whether is worth investing in the expansion of production. At Airbus – but even with Boeing – come for years to more orders, as are processed.
In addition, Airbus operates an “overbooking”, more orders will be accepted even for extradition, as come eventually. A certain cancellation rate is therefore factored in. Nevertheless, the order book is getting fatter.
As Airbus recently published its half-year figures, standing orders in the unbelievable value of more than 875 billion euros for 6430 new commercial aircraft in the books. Mathematically, a volume that would utilize production for seven years.
For the entire group, ie including helicopters, space and defense, the order backlog, according to list price at 927 billion euros. The IndiGo order and further orders expected this year probably still the trillion threshold be exceeded.
Expertexpected increase in unit
From a “cluster risk” from a particular region Airbus wants to know nothing. 29 percent of the orders of the entire Group consist of major Asia / Pacific region, only then follow with around 20 percent of Europe and North America. In fourth place ranked the Middle East.
Even the bloated orderbook was not a problem. Rather, the production will continuously expanded. Currently, Airbus produces 42 planes from the small A320 family per month. If the change from the previous model to the savings option A320neo works, expected to increase to 50 per month from 2017 production.
conceivable was a further increase to 60 or 63 machines, said Airbus sales chief Leahy. Even Boeing is expanding the production of its 737 aircraft. You should rise to 52 models per month from 2018.
Analysts at Swiss bank UBS believe that Airbus in 2017 already more A320neo produced as further current Classic model. For the next year, experts expect the delivery of 138 savings airmen – a part of it should go to IndiGo. But Lufthansa is to receive its first A320neo models next year – have been ordered so far 115
