Fuel burn numbers - MAX vs NEO

Fuel burn numbers – MAX vs NEO

The US DoT data for 2018 has been published.  Analyzing the numbers we generated preliminary data comparing fuel cost numbers for the MAX and NEO.  (There may still be some gaps to fill) We stuck to fuel costs to minimize the chance of airline creative accounting.   This is not a dig at the airline industry.

The DoT advised us as follows when we found some numbers to be odd: “While DOT has…

Aegean Airlines set for 7-year bond issue to fund fleet renewal

Greece’s largest carrier Aegean Airlines will proceed with a sale of bonds on March 5-7 to raise up to 200 million euros ($226.86 million) for down payments on new Airbus aircraft and the construction of a new pilot training centre.

According to the public offering prospectus, about 30 percent of the issue will be allocated to retail investors, while 70 percent will go to “qualified investors”.

The seven-year bonds, each with a nominal value of 1,000 euros, will pay a semi-annual coupon. In Greece interest payments are taxed at 15 percent. Trading of the bonds on the Athens stock exchange will start on March 13.

Pricing will be determined via book building.

Aegean, a member of the Star Alliance airline group, will use 75 percent of the proceeds to partly finance down payments on new aircraft based on a deal with Airbus to renew its fleet of single-aisle planes and add capacity for future expansion.

Aegean picked Airbus in March last year for an order of up to 42 aircraft worth $5 billion in one of the biggest investments by a private Greek company since the country’s debt crisis erupted in 2010.

The European OEM delivered a record 800 airliners, up from 718 in 2017 but lower than Boeing’s 806. It sold 747 aircraft, down from an exceptional 1.109 the previous year but behind 893 listed by the American OEM. Airbus grew its backlog from 7.265 to 7.577 aircraft.

Seating changes from A320ceo to A320neo

Seating changes from A320ceo to A320neo

After we did a story on the changes in seating from 737-800 to 737 MAX8, several messages came and asked about a similar analysis on the A320eo to A320neo.  Here it is.

On average, operators have increased seating from 170 to 173. This is only 1.8%. But consider the A320 entered service as a 150-seater.  Today’s A320neo is, on average, carrying 15.3% more seats.  Coincidentally this is exactly…
