Market-Oriented Sales Approach The airline intends to explore various methods for the sale or lease of the planes, including direct sales or leases to interested parties. This decision has received approval from the airline's board, with the deal pending shareholder approval.
Details of the Aircraft The Boeing 787-8s are equipped with GE Aviation GEnx-1B engines and configured with seating for 213 passengers in two classes. The nine aircraft, aged between 10 and 12 years, make up less than 3% of the airline's total fleet. Hainan Airlines also operates a larger fleet of the 787-9 model, with 28 aircraft in service.
Rationalizing Fleet to Improve Economics This move is aimed at further refining the airline’s operations, cutting costs, and enhancing fleet efficiency, allowing for a more sustainable long-term strategy. | | | | | | | | | | Ilyushin Il-114-300 Advances in Certification Process | | | | Steady Progress in Flight Testing The Ilyushin Il-114-300 turboprop has successfully completed over 20 certification flights, with an intensive flight-test programme currently underway. The tests are being conducted at the Lukhovitsy airfield near Moscow, with more than 70 sorties already completed, accumulating over 200 flight hours.
Prototype Addition to Accelerate Development To further speed up the certification process, an additional prototype of the Il-114-300 will join the test programme later this year. Several customer aircraft are already in production, demonstrating continued progress in the development of this modernised aircraft.
Modernizing the Fleet The Il-114-300 is a revamped version of the original Il-114, which had limited production. It is designed to replace the Soviet-era Antonov An-24 and An-26 models, offering capacity for 68 passengers. Powered by Klimov TV7-117ST-01 engines, the aircraft is a significant step forward in the modernization of Russia’s regional air fleet.
Expanding Serial Production The certification campaign for the Il-114-300 is part of a broader effort to enhance regional air travel capabilities. With serial production already expanding, the company aims to deliver aircraft promptly once the necessary type certificates are obtained. | | | | Honeywell Aerospace to Become Independent Entity | | | | Strategic Split to Create Industry Leaders Honeywell has announced plans to spin off its aerospace division, transforming it into an independent publicly listed company. This move follows an extensive strategic review aimed at reshaping the industrial conglomerate into three distinct publicly listed entities: aerospace, automation, and advanced materials.
A Bold Shift in Aerospace and Beyond Set to be completed by the second half of 2026, this division of Honeywell mirrors similar actions taken by United Technologies and General Electric, which spun off their aerospace units to form Raytheon Technologies and GE Aerospace, respectively.
Focused Growth Strategy for Aerospace The separation is designed to allow each company to pursue tailored growth strategies, positioning them to capture significant value in both the commercial and defense markets. The aerospace unit, in particular, is poised for remarkable demand growth in the coming years.
Pressure from Shareholders Accelerates Move This move comes after increasing pressure from activist shareholders, notably Elliott Investment Management, which has urged Honeywell to optimize its structure for greater shareholder value. In 2024, Honeywell Aerospace saw a 13% revenue increase, generating $15.4 billion, and has continued expanding its portfolio, from the T55 engines powering the CH-47 Chinook to cutting-edge avionics and flight services. | | | | Sonderborg to Launch Denmark’s First Digital Control Tower | | | | Pioneering Air Traffic Management in Denmark Sonderborg Airport, a regional hub in Denmark, is set to become the country’s first to implement a digital control tower, marking a significant technological milestone. The airport will adopt a remotely operated air traffic management system, enhancing its operational capabilities.
A Leap into Modern Air Traffic Solutions The ‘r-TWR’ system, developed by Saab Digital Air Traffic Solutions, has been selected for this project. The system will enable air traffic services to be managed digitally, streamlining operations without the need for a traditional physical tower.
Boosting Efficiency While Preserving Local Jobs The move to a digital tower is designed to improve operational efficiency, eliminate the need for a new physical tower, and secure local air traffic controller positions. The system is also aimed at future-proofing the airport, ensuring its continued competitiveness and functionality.
Strengthening Regional Connectivity Sonderborg Airport, which provides regional connections including flights to Copenhagen, will be equipped with a state-of-the-art voice communication system and automatic flight information service, enhancing the overall travel experience for passengers and air operators. |
