AEROSPACE BREAKS GROUND FOR JSF ADVANCED

MAGELLAN  COMPOSITE 


TORONTO, Oct. 8 2010 - Magellan Aerospace was honoured to host a visit

from The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, at

its Bristol Aerospace division in Winnipeg yesterday. The Prime

Minister joined Magellan in welcoming a group of international and

Canadian dignitaries to celebrate the initiation of the new Advanced

Composite Manufacturing Facility being constructed in Winnipeg in

support of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program.

At the event, Magellan Aerospace Chairman of the Board, Mr. Murray

Edwards, gave special thanks and recognition for the support of the

Federal Government, the other major funding partners, customers, and

stakeholders in this major new undertaking.

The launch customer for the new Center is BAE Systems in the United

Kingdom, who awarded Magellan a contract to produce the JSF F-35

Lightning II horizontal tail components. The $22 million dollar, 13,000

square meter facility will be equipped with advanced technology for the

manufacture of complex fabrications and assemblies.

Mr. Edwards said, "We are delighted to have this opportunity today to

recognize the federal government's contribution to this program, whose

actions have helped ensure Canadian companies are confident and

competitive leaders in the global aerospace market. The government's

investment and commitment to the program since it began in 1997 is

truly commendable." Since that initial participation in the Concept

Demonstration Phase until today, Canada has garnered unprecedented

opportunities in this strategic long-term program to build the F-35

Lightning II aircraft for Canada and eight other partner nations.

Magellan's President and CEO, Mr. Jim Butyniec said, "Together, the

government, Magellan and our fellow Canadian companies have

systemically invested in technology and knowledge growth over the past

decade. Step by step we have grown together on the threshold of full

scale production, ready to meet the state-of-the art manufacturing

processes required for this program. This new facility being

constructed in Winnipeg is a celebration of over a decade of nurturing

this strategic opportunity", he concluded.

Magellan celebrated the unparalleled international government and

industrial partnership of the Joint Strike Fighter program, and the

success of the many relationships that have been forged to make this

expansion a reality.

Marketing and Sales.

In addition to being the highest ranked airline, WestJet also rated in

the top three per cent among all 890 brands in overall connection with

customers. The overall connection category measured emotional

connection to the brand, practical and aspirational fit with the brand,

and a company's ability to deliver on brand expectations.

"I am particularly proud of our strong rating in the overall connection

category," concluded Bob Cummings. "As WestJet enters a new chapter of

growth, we will continue to be passionate in providing our guests with

the same fun, friendly and caring service that has been the soul of

WestJet over the past 14 years."

Banks ask Oriental to pay Rs 400 cr on Paramount default

Mumbai: The state-owned Oriental Insurance has been saddled with claims of Rs 400 crore from five banks, namely, State Bank of India, Bank of India, Indian Bank, Andhra Bank and IDBI Bank. The banks are looking to recover the money paid to the oil companies on behalf of Paramount Airways.
The defunct Chennai-based airline had defaulted on bank guarantees issued by these five banks.
Disturbed by the development, Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority (Irda) has banned the sale of credit insurance by general insurance companies, except state-owned Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC). Without mentioning the Paramount case, an Irda order last week said it believed that insurers were underwriting risks which were not governed by a proper regulatory framework or sanction.
At over Rs 200 crore, Bank of India has the largest exposure to Paramount’s bank guarantee, while SBI has guaranteed around Rs 80 crore and the others Rs 20 crore each. Promoted by entrepreneur M Thiagarajan, the airline had taken credit insurance cover from Oriental in 2008-09 for its multiple bank guarantees to cover its transactions with state-owned oil companies.




Embraer enthused at aircraft market for Tier-II cities

New Delhi: Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer is betting big on the growing aviation markets in the smaller cities of India. One of the world's largest aerospace companies and a leader in the category of commercial jets with up to 120 seats, it feels their aircraft will get the benefit of this growth.
"Many major routes like Delhi-Trivandrum are not connected through a direct flight because all the airlines operate big aircraft on this route, difficult to fill. Now, with our small aircraft, the airlines can operate direct services and make enough on such routes," said Alex Glock, the company's vice-president (marketing & sales), commercial aviation.
"We have met all the airlines in the country and all of them invariably agree to our analysis. We see a great opportunity here, as the smaller cities are to see a lot of growth. We plan to sell 50 aircraft over the next 10 years in the country," Glock said. Of 44 million air passengers in 2009, as many as 27 million were from Tier-II and III cities. The growth projections in number of passengers for smaller cities during 2009-15 is 14 per cent annually.
In terms of connectivity, Tier-II and III cities lag. Average daily frequencies to Tier-I cities are 18 but the connectivity to smaller cities is only 2.5.




Govt defers nod to Jet Airways, GMR Airport proposals

New Delhi: The government today deferred a decision on giving approvals to Jet Airways' proposal for QIP and GMR Airports' plan for a foreign investor in the Bangalore Airport .
The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) in a meeting earlier this month, however, cleared six foreign direct investment proposals worth Rs 5.46 crore, an official statement said.
The statement did not list any reason for deferring Jet and GMR Airport proposals.
"Based on the recommendations of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB)... government has approved six proposals of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) amounting to Rs 5.46 crore approximately," the statement added.
It also deferred consideration of seven proposals, including Jet Airways' equity investment through qualified institutional placement (QIP) route and GMR Airports Holding's intent to induct foreign equity in an investing company.
The government had also deferred the proposals of equity induction in Falcon Tyres and Telecordia Technologies among others.




Centre seeks clarifications on Jet Airways QIP

Bangalore: The fund-raising plan of Jet Airways, the market leader by passenger numbers, got pushed back again as the government on Thursday sought more clarification on the airline’s qualified institutional placement (QIP) issue.
Jet had submitted a proposal to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board for raising $400 million through QIP to deleverage its balance sheet and implement expansion plans.
Kapil Kaul, chief executive officer - India and Middle East of airline consultancy Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation, said it since the airline already has an in-principal approval from the government for raising funds from overseas the markets, it should eventually get through.
He said the impediment in getting the FIPB approval could be the sectoral limit for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the aviation sector, which is currently at 49%.
“FDI cap could be the only issue on which the government must have asked for clarification. On this front, the government could temporarily relax the (FDI) norm in Jet Airways’ case on one-off basis,” said Kaul.
Kaul speculated that the government may give its nod to Jet’s proposal to raise foreign funds on the condition that it would bring back its FDI within limits in the specified time.




IndiGo will have to wait a year for flying overseas

New Delhi: IndiGo Airlines, the most successful low-fare carrier in Indian skies, has to wait another year before it can begin its overseas journey.
This, even as competitor SpiceJet began international operations with a flight to Kathmandu this morning. So does IndiGo feel left out?
President Aditya Ghosh told DNA in a freewheeling chat, “We were among the last airlines to start domestic operations also and look where we’ve reached.” On Wednesday, this airline received an in-principle approval from the ministry of civil aviation to begin overseas operations in 2011.
Ghosh’s optimism on making up for lost time even on international routes does not seem misplaced, given IndiGo’s robust financial performance in the past year. In fiscal 2010, the airline generated Rs720 crore cash on its books. Revenue growth was a healthy 35% to Rs2,664.5 crore whereas profitability shot up five times to Rs550 crore.
Ghosh said the airline is “comfortable” with financing its massive fleet expansion programme (adding 150 aircraft) even as it looks to raise substantial amounts of money to finance expansion going forward. IndiGo has already given a mandate to five merchant bankers to devise a fundraising plan — which could be a public offer, debt route or a combination.



Taxi in restricted zone at Mum airport, 4 CISF men suspended

Mumbai: Four CISF personnel were suspended for a security lapse at the Mumbai airport in which a speeding private taxi entered the restricted operations area this morning setting off an alarm.A taxi of Priyadarshani Cab Services driven by Manisha Pawar (21) was intercepted soon after it entered the operations area from gate number 5 of the International Airport in suburban Andheri, CISF sources said.

An alarm was raised and the car was immediately intercepted, sources said, adding the driver was taken into custody and the vehicle seized. "The woman says she had no idea of the route and that she entered the restricted area by mistake," a CISF official said, adding Pawar was handed over to the Sahar Airport Police Station for questioning. The four suspended CISF personnel, including the incharge at gate number 5, were also being questioned. Dilip Patil, senior Inspector at the police station, told PTI that they were verifying Pawar's documents and her background.




Airlines oppose Ghial proposal to increase passenger levies

Indian air carriers have opposed an increase in passenger levies proposed by the Hyderabad airport operator, saying it risked stifling air traffic growth and hurting an aviation recovery that is still nascent, amid concern that other airports would follow suit and raise charges.
GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd, or Ghial, has sought to increase the user development fee from Rs340 to Rs500 per departing domestic passenger and from Rs907 to Rs2,825 per departing international passenger.
The airport regulator, Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (Aera), has suggested a smaller increase to Rs420 and Rs1,656, respectively, and had sought the views of stakeholders such as airlines and airport operators at a consultation in Hyderabad on 29 September.
Around 70% of those who attended the meeting opposed the proposed increase while 30% favoured the move, according to the minutes of the meeting posted on the regulator’s website.




Delhi-bound Kingfisher flight returns to Mumbai airport after bird hit

Mumbai: The IT 331 Kingfisher Airlines Mumbai- Delhi flight took off at around 0615 hours but returned to Mumbai airport after being airborne for over 15-minutes, due to a suspected bird hit, Kingfisher Airlines spokesperson said.
Airline engineers are inspecting the aircraft to assess the damage, the spokesperson said, adding another aircraft is being arranged to carry the passengers to their destination.




Dissident Karnataka BJP MLAs holed up at Mumbai airport

Mumbai: A big drama unfolded at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai on early Wednesday morning after 12 dissident Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs from Karnataka reached the city for an alleged political deal with the Janata Dal Secular (JDS).
Around 150 Mumbai BJP workers led by MLC Vinod Tawde forced the MLAs to hole up inside the airport for almost nine hours. Finally, the MLAs flew to Goa after their plan failed.
The 12 MLAs have given a letter to Karnataka governor H.D. Bharadwaj withdrawing support and expressing lack of confidence in chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa. The MLAs left Bangalore on Tuesday morning. They first went to Chennai and then Kochi. They took a Sharjah-Kochi-Mumbai flight of Air India from Kochi and reached Mumbai around 2:30 am. They had a plan to stay in Mumbai and had booked rooms in a five star hotel near the airport Hyatt.
As soon as the MLAs came out of the airport Tawde and other BJP workers welcomed them by waiving the BJP's flags. Sensing a trouble for them the MLAs immediately boarded the cars they had booked in advance and went towards Hyatt. After they traveled for 10 minutes the MLAs decided to return to the airport as Tawde and other workers were following them. The MLAs returned to the airport and stayed put in the VIP lounge till 11 in the morning. Finally, they took a Spice Jet flight to Goa at 11:30 am.




70 percent of air passengers want self-service while on a journey

 The most comprehensive global survey ever undertaken of passenger use of air transport self-service technology has found popular demand is now reaching out into non-traditional areas of self-service as airline passengers demonstrate their increasing ease with online, kiosk and mobile phone channels.
While online booking and check-in are nearing their full potential, there is now a clear demand from the travelling public for self-service on other steps of the passenger journey including automated security checks, which are now acceptable to 70 percent of respondents compared to 58 percent in last year's survey.
Similarly, the demand for automatic boarding gates is now at 70 percent compared to 57 percent last year.
Two-thirds of survey respondents would use kiosks for other purposes including booking/changing a flight; purchasing additional services (e.g. baggage fees, meals), printing bag tags; self-transfer; claiming delayed baggage.
In addition, there has been dramatic year-on-year growth in the percentage of passengers using airline websites to book hotels, up from 21 percent in 2009, to 38 percent in this year's survey; car rental, 19 percent to 35 percent.

STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA ON HIS VISIT TO BRISTOL AEROSPACE LTD.




Winnipeg, Manitoba - Prime Minister Stephen Harper today made the following remarks during a visit to Bristol Aerospace Ltd., in Winnipeg:
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.


“I want to not just thank Tony for that introduction. I also want to thank Tony as one of the key ministers. As Minister of Industry, he is one of the key ministers who has been spearheading on our government’s side this entire Joint Strike Fighter effort, so thank you, Tony, for the work that you’ve been doing on behalf of everyone here. I also want to extend my greetings to my friends and parliamentary colleagues, Vic Toews, to Steven Fletcher, to James Bezan, to our provincial colleagues who are present as well, to all of our friends who are here representing Magellan, Bristol, Lockheed-Martin, BAE Systems. Don, thank you for kicking us off, and finally, I’d like to especially express my appreciation to you, Murray, for hosting this gathering here today.


“As you all know, I’ve just spent a little time with some of your colleagues and employees, Murray, and I must tell you, as a Canadian, it makes me proud to see what you can make here, satellites, rockets. And, what we’re here to talk about today, aircraft components. High quality, precisely engineered products that work, and work with complete reliability, in the most demanding of environments.


“It takes an exceptional piece of machinery to work flawlessly, high in the atmosphere, flying faster than sound, where the air is thin and where, they tell me, the temperatures are colder than Portage and Main in January.


“And, it takes people with exceptional skills and exceptional commitment to make these things. You are those exceptional people. So give yourselves a big round of applause. You are, in fact, one of Canada’s great strategic assets. And for you, ladies and gentlemen, we have a fitting job, a job of national importance – helping to provide our government with the tools it needs to defend our sovereignty, which is, after all, the very first duty of any Canadian government.


“As you all know, your plant has been chosen, and chosen competitively, to make components for the F-35 Lightning. We are here today to turn sod on a building, the Advance Composites Manufacturing Centre, where some of you will do this work. It’s an important milestone in a journey that began a long time ago, so long ago in fact that I think our friends in the Opposition – which was the Government at the time – have forgotten all about it.


“In 1997, Canada signed on to an international consortium to develop the Lockheed-Martin Lightning II. It did so after – after, I repeat – an exhaustive consideration of the alternatives for a CF-18 replacement at the end of this decade. Our predecessors chose the Lightning because they believed it was the best aircraft for Canada. A measure that we supported, because it was and is the right thing to do. So, I do find it sad to hear some in Parliament now expressing hesitations about buying the F35, or even talking openly about cancelling it, should they get the chance.


“Here’s the thing: for the last 13 years, through governments both Liberal and Conservative, Canada has been fully involved in the development, design and initial production phases of this world-class aircraft. Governments, beginning with our predecessors, have already put over $150 million of taxpayers’ money into it. The prototypes are in the air. So you have to ask yourself: why would you now consider buying something else?


“Today, there is nothing else like the F-35 Lightning. Its once and only serious competitor is now on static display in a Florida museum. And why would you risk leaving our Air Force with nothing to replace the CF-18s when they reach the end of their life? Nothing is not an option.


“Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a political game. It is about lives and, as you know well, it is about jobs.


“You know, I could tell you a long story about the industrial and economic benefits of the F-35 program. How it’s the largest cooperative international program since the Second World War, involving our closest allies, and how there will be a huge production run – something like 5,000 aircraft. I can tell you that it means skilled jobs in this industry for a generation and potentially billions of dollars in production and ongoing maintenance.


“This investment in the F-35s will have huge economic benefits for all of Canada’s aerospace industry. In fact, last week, the President of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, Claude Lajeunesse, congratulated our government.


“In fact, because we’re part of the consortium, some 60 Canadian companies just like this already have development contracts. And it is because we are actually buying this aircraft ourselves, that Bristol Aerospace has this contract to build the horizontal stabilisers in this building that we are turning sod for today. That’s all because we’re inside the project. And if you’re on the outside, there will be nothing.


“Now, from a purely economic perspective, from the point of view of creating hi-tech jobs of positioning Winnipeg and Canada in the global aerospace industry, I say again, nothing is not an option. And cancelling these jobs is not an option.


“But this isn’t even just about high-technology and economic opportunity for Canada. Our decision to put the hard-earned money of Canadian taxpayers into the F-35 Lightning is based on the same principle that has underpinned every other major military purchase we have made.


“That principle is the needs of our country and the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line to serve those needs. And that need is for a general purpose force able to respond to a range of possible requirements in an unknowable future.


“Think about it this way. Our newest CF-18s will be 30 years old by the time we take delivery of the first F-35s. And what have we seen since we purchased the CF-18s? And who could have predicted it?


“When we ordered them in the early 1980s, the immediate need was deterrence in central Europe, during the Cold War. We didn’t know we would have to respond to a crisis in the Balkans. We didn’t know we would be fighting in the Persian Gulf. We didn’t know we would have 9-11 and of course the Afghanistan mission today.


“Meanwhile, we still have the responsibility to counter challenges to our own airspace. Unless of course, we are prepared to let somebody else do it for us. And of course this government is not prepared to let anyone other than Canada defend Canadian sovereignty. That’s just in the last 30 years. What about the next 30 years? In our troubled world, we can never know what threats or challenges our country will face. We can only know that it will almost certainly face some.


“That is why we bought the C-17s, the new Hercules transports and the new helicopters. In every case, some questioned why we bought them, and in every case, their need has become evident even more quickly than we anticipated. They have given us the capacity to act, whether it is to fulfil our mission in Afghanistan, or respond to humanitarian needs at home and abroad, in Newfoundland or in Haiti as recent examples.


“Now, we need the F-35 Lightning, with all its remarkable capacities of stealth and performance, so that whatever we ask our Air Force in the future, and governments of the future, I guarantee you, regardless of political stripe will ask our men and women in uniform to undertake dangerous tasks. When that comes, we need to have the modern aircraft those men and women need, an aircraft that gives our fighting men and women the best possible chance to do their job against the worst the world can throw at them and come home as safely as is humanly possible.


“That is why we’re buying the F-35 Lightning. And that is why you help build them.


“Ladies and gentlemen, I have immensely enjoyed visiting with you today, and I want to spend a little bit of time before we go meeting some more of you. I just want to thank you for the work you do for our country.


“Your jobs and your industry are critical to our future as a country and we mean to make sure that you keep working.


“Thank you very much.”







PM SUPPORTS CANADA’S AEROSPACE SECTOR









Winnipeg, Manitoba - Prime Minister Harper today demonstrated unwavering support for Canada’s aerospace sector by helping to break ground on the construction of Bristol Aerospace Limited’s new Advanced Composites Manufacturing Centre. Tony Clement, Minister of Industry; Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety; and Steven Fletcher, Minister of State (Democratic Reform), joined the Prime Minister at the announcement.


“With the economic recovery still fragile, the hard working men and women of Canada’s aerospace industry can rest assured that the federal government is on their side,” said Prime Minister Harper. “Our government’s investment in the F-35 fighter jet is expected to bring sustained employment to Canadian companies for the next 40 years.”
Bristol Aerospace LTD of Winnipeg, a division of Magellan Aerospace Corporation, has secured a contract to manufacture complex composite assemblies for the horizontal tail section of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. This line of work on the Joint Strike Fighter program could increase employment at the company by up to 100 people over time. The company is one of more than 60 Canadian companies, research laboratories and universities benefitting from the Joint Strike Fighter Program.

“By replacing an aircraft at the end of its lifespan, our Government is not only continuing our proven record of standing with our Forces, we are also making direct investments in the Canadian economy and creating skilled jobs for Canadian workers,” added the Prime Minister.

Our government recognizes that the aerospace industry and workers are a key high-tech resource within the Canadian economy and essential to the prosperity of working families and communities across the country.





AIR CANADA REPORTS RECORD SEPTEMBER LOAD FACTOR

GRAND OPENING POSTPONED

The Grand Opening of the new terminal at Winnipeg's James Armstrong Richardson International Airport was to take place in October, but has been postponed until the middle of 2011. The new terminal, located northeast of the existing terminal has a sewage pipe problem which is causing the delay.
The $585-million project will hopefully attract larger aircraft to the International Airport.





VANCOUVER WELCOMES WORLD ROUTES, B.C. CUTS AVIATION FUEL TAX

Vancouver Airport Authority earlier this month welcomed 3,000 airline, airport and tourism authority leaders to Vancouver for the 16th World Route Development Forum, the world's largest annual air transport event. Several announcements were made at the event, including the provincial elimination of an aviation fuel tax on international flights and a new incentive program from Vancouver Airport Authority for carriers at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).













GTAA REDUCES PASSENGER, CARGO FEES





The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) has approved reductions to the connecting Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) and cargo aircraft landing fees for 2011. Additionally, aeronautical fees for passenger aircraft have been held in line with 2010 levels -- changes are being made to enhance Toronto Pearson's competitive position.

The Airport Improvement Fee for passengers connecting through Toronto Pearson will decrease from $8 to $4, effective January 1, 2011. GTAA says it believes this to be the first decrease of an AIF in Canada -- aimed at increasing connecting traffic grow Pearson as a global hub.

"The GTAA has one again demonstrated its continued desire to be among the leaders in Canadian airports in reshaping the way in which they recover costs from their airline partners," said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet's executive vice president, strategy and planning. "This announcement will go a long way to support the GTAA's goal of growing its position as a global hub."

Terminal charges and landing fees for passenger airlines will be reduced by 8.1% and 4.5% respectively, effective January 1. At the same time, the turnaround fee for bridges at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 that was introduced in July will be increased to $66.66 per flight as part of a change to Toronto Pearson's fee structure approved by the airline community. The overall goal of the passenger landing fee decrease and the increase of this second stage of the turnaround fee is that passenger airlines will see their costs at Toronto Pearson hold stable.

"Air Canada commends the GTAA for its diligent efforts to continue lowering costs, which support our drive to capitalize on Pearson's advantageous geographic location and transform Toronto into a North American gateway," said Ben Smith, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Air Canada. "Already, the relocation of all our operations under one roof, streamlined in-transit processes and other recent improvements have enabled us to increase connecting traffic through the airport and add new flying."

Landing fees for cargo aircraft also will be reduced by 4.3% on January 1, which is the third reduction since January of 2010. Cargo fee reductions are being introduced to encourage growth and to support local businesses that depend on air cargo delivery.

"Toronto Pearson employees have worked hard to make these reductions possible," said Lloyd McCoomb, president and CEO of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. "By streamlining processes and focusing our efforts on increasing service and revenue, we are able to work with the airlines and make Toronto Pearson even more attractive to airlines and passengers. We are working to increase the number of people who connect through the airport, and these changes are intended to encourage more growth."
