aircraft in the world. Bombardier’s CS300 airliners are integral to the execution of airBaltic’s business de-velopment strategy Horizon 2021 and fleet optimisation plan.”

airBaltic will start CS300 commer-cial operations on December 14, 2016 on its route linking Riga with

Amsterdam. airBaltic is the launch operator for the CS300 aircraft, and has ordered 20 CS300 aircraft.

“With its longer range capabili-ties, lower fuel burn and reduced

noise emissions compared to other airliners in its segment, the CS300 aircraft will enable airBaltic to open new routes and connect people all across Europe, while offering pas-sengers an unparalleled in-flight experience.

“I would like to congratulate the entire Bombar-dier team; we are proud to col-laborate with you on this great achievement,” added Mr. Gauss.

airBaltic has pinned its hopes that the new CS300 aircraft, with a total of 145 seats, will offer excellent fly-ing experience with such benefits for passengers as wider seats, larg-

Comlux develops new auxiliary center tank system for Airbus A321

Comlux has launched a new Forward Auxiliary Center Tank System for the Airbus A321. The new system will allow VIP operators to realize a range increase of up to 500nm (25 pax) while com-mercial operators can expect up to 300nm (160 pax). In collaboration with Airbus specialists, Comlux Engineers developed this new design to complement the two existing Airbus Additional Center Tanks (ACTs). The design offers a light weight, optimized, yet cost-efficient solution for the A321 platform, ensuring minimized downtime for installation. The system is scheduled to be completed and ready for installation on the first ACJ321, 15 months after program initiation, which corresponds to Q3 2017. As 40% of all A321s are provisioned with ACTs, there are already clear potential candidates who would benefit from this option of more range, including various major airlines. “We have been evaluating for a while now this improvement initially for VIP customers and we decided to do it with an industrial approach which will best serve the VIP and Airline markets. Developing such kind of industrial improvement is part of our core business and Comlux America is tailored to engineer and perform the installation of these additional ACTs” stated Arnaud Martin, EVP Operations at Comlux “We are grateful to Airbus for its strong sup-port in developing this great new system for the A321 series aircraft.”

step, we are transforming airberlin into a network carrier focused on domestic and European traf-fic to feed our two long-haul hubs in Berlin and Dusseldorf.” As part of the transaction, airberlin is building and adjusting its existing European city network to concentrate on year-round business travel in the German market, Italy, the Nordics and Eastern Europe. airberlin will, from the start of the summer 2017 flight schedule, and prior to the closing of the sale of NIKI, transfer slots for certain touristic destinations in Southern Europe (excluding Italy but including the Canary Islands and Madeira), North Africa and Turkey to NIKI. The transaction also includes the discontinua-tion of airberlin’s wet-lease agreement for 14 TUIfly aircraft. The long-haul business including the eight destinations airberlin currently serves in the US, as well as the Caribbean destinations and Abu Dhabi – the home base of airberlin’s partner Etihad Airways – remain a vital part of airberlin’s route network. The current schedule remains val-id and available for booking. airberlin will inform its customers in due course should the scheduled flights be operated by NIKI. Mr Pichler added: “We are on track to adjust our capacity and sim-plify our fleet. Our new flight schedule will rest on the strength of our existing network and build on our current plan. We will invest further in the de-velopment of airberlin’s business travel offering, in the connectivity of our network and in the ex-pansion of our profitable long-haul programme, particularly to US destinations.”

ISUs can be kitted and configured to meet unique user mission requirements and serve virtually any cargo deployment need. The elimi-nation of netting and tie downs decreases the man-hours needed for loading and unloading, and reduces the cost of ownership to transport and store. “This certification allows AAR Mobil-ity Systems to meet the growing demand across the world for air cargo capabilities within the commercial and military sectors,” said Jeff Jack-son, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, AAR Mobility Systems. “It also allows our military the flexibility to use commercial aircraft as necessary to augment their current capabilities.”

The five-year agreement will en-sure job opportunities for a new, highly-qualified generation of pilots at the airline which seeks such professionals in order to be able to fulfil its ambitious plans for business expansion and company growth in the near future.

Global Aviation Services has been awarded a five-year contract by Delta Air Lines, for 28 lo-cations in connection with Delta’s 2016 ground support equipment (GSE) maintenance RFP pro-cess. The total annualized revenue of the new award and services at other Delta locations not part of the 2016 RFP process is anticipated by Global to be approximately US$8.1m, compared with annualized revenue under existing arrange-ments with Delta of approximately US$3.5m. In the award, Global retained 21 of 22 incumbent locations included in the RFP process and added seven new locations, including the maintenance of the baggage handling system (BHS) and pas-senger boarding bridges (PBB) for Delta’s hub op-eration at the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport. Based on anticipated timing of the commence-ment of the terms of the new award, the award is expected to provide approximately US$850,000 in net additional maintenance revenue for Global in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. Result-ing from the award, Global will have over 90 technicians serving Delta in 44 locations.

GE Aviation has signed a contract, to provide Flight Analytics, with All Nippon Airways. Flight Analytics will help improve fuel efficiency based on an analysis of flight data. This is the first-time GE is providing digital solutions tothe Japanese market. ANA operates more than 1,000 inter-national and domestic flights every day, and its fuel-related cost totaled approximately JPY300bn (US$2.6bn) for the fiscal year of 2015. The intro-duction of GE’s Flight Analytics has the potential to reduce the airline’s fuel cost up to 1% annually. Analyzing flight data via flight analytics makes it possible to keep track of fuel consumption over the course of the entire flight-from takeoff to landing-and can provide support to pilots on how to efficiently operate aircraft. The solution gen-erates data including appropriate amount of fuel that needs to be stored on board. This enables airlines to improve operational flexibility.
