[新聞] 德航有可能成為787-10X首發客戶

[ATR72 (文人相輕自古皆然)]

簡單整理一下這爆炸性的新聞。

1.德航(LH)和Air Lease Corp (ALC)爭相成為B787-10X之首發客戶。

2.德航表示，787-10X非常適合德航目前及未來的網路。

3.德航除了787-10X之外，也對於787-9非常有興趣。

4.波音表示，787-10X性能非常棒，營運成本將比A340-600低50%。

5.ALC表示，如果波音推出787-10X，我們非常想成為首發客戶。

6.ALC亦希望波音可以為787-10X增加1.4-1.8t (3,000-4,000lb) MTOW，使航程可
  再增加400nm (740km)，此舉將讓787-10X非常無敵。

7.如果波音只是將787-9"簡單地延長"5.5m (18ft)，787-10X的航程大概才6,705nm
  to 6,745nm而已。



ISTAT 2012: Lufthansa, ALC vie to be 787-10X launch customer

Lufthansa and Air Lease Corp (ALC) are vying for launch customer status on
Boeing's proposed stretched 787-10X.

Nico Buchholz, Lufthansa senior vice-president of corporate fleet, sees the
aircraft as an ideal fit for the carrier as the airframe is not
over-optimised to fly further than necessary for its route network.

The carrier has conducted extended evaluations of both the 280-seat 787-9 and
323-seat 787-10X to fill the approximately 200-to-300-seat fleet segment that
is currently occupied by the Airbus A330-300, A340-300 and A340-600.

Boeing's newly-appointed senior vice-president of marketing, Mike Bair, says
the 787-10X potentially provides a "absolutely astounding" improvement in
performance, with 50% lower operating costs than the A340-600.

If Boeing moves ahead to "launch the airplane, we could be a definitive
launch customer for the -10, in tandem with [ordering] some -9s. So that's in
the oven," says Steven Udvar-Hazy, chief executive of ALC.

But Udvar-Hazy says any order depends on "Boeing's ability to translate talk
into a firm commitment to build the -10".

ALC is also pressuring Boeing for an additional 1.4-1.8t (3,000-4,000lb)
maximum takeoff weight above the baseline 251t, which would add 400nm (740km)
to the aircraft's range. This will "make a big difference" for some
customers, says Hazy.

The "simple stretch" of the 787-9, adding 5.5m (18ft) of fuselage, would
create an aircraft capable of flying between 6,705nm to 6,745nm depending on
the engine selection, say those familiar with the concept.

"It still serves probably 85% of the long-range routes and will have really
good economics on seat mile costs and more cargo with the stretch both in
front of and in the back of the wing," says Udvar-Hazy.

The launch of the -10X could be paired with a 353-to-407-seat 777X concept at
the end of the year, says Udvar-Hazy, who believes that service entry of the
third 787 model would occur before the revamped 777.

"The issue that we are looking at is exactly when in the production cycle
should we put this into the line." says Bair.

"We're looking at maturity in rate ramp-up on the current [787-8] and how
we're going to balance that against the introduction of the -9. When we're
comfortable we've got an industrialisation plan that works, the [787-10X]
itself is pretty obvious."
