Our expanded delivery pipeline allows us to offer our customers the A330neo’s range and reduced emissions to support their evolving fleet needs.
Avolon’s selection of the A330-900 reflects its vision to secure the earliest available slots, to take advantage of growing widebody demand around the world.Īndy Cronin, Avolon CEO, said: “We have been a strong supporter of the A330neo programme since its launch and with our existing widebody orderbook fully placed we are now locking in future growth in a supply constrained environment. (Airbus)įresh from ordering ten Embraer E195 E2s and 40 Boeing 737MAX aircraft on the second day of the show international aircraft leasing company Avolon (the world’s third largest) signed a MoU to order 20 A330neo aircraft from Airbus.

Other bidders for the now hotly contested £1.5bn NMH procurement include Leonardo, with its AW149 and Airbus Helicopters with its H175M, both of whom have already promised to build the NMH in the UK, if selected. The invitation to tender is understood to be scheduled for the September period. However, whether it was completion work and installation of mission equipment, a final assembly line, or even the lure of UK-made Black Hawks for export, Lemmo cautioned that the company would only reveal its offer “once we have seen the tender”. With the company already having a European S-70M production line in Mielec, Poland, Lemmo’s remarks seemed to represent a shift in the company’s strategy on bidding for NMH, with the previous assumption being that only limited completion work might be offered to the UK. This he, said, depending on the model chosen, could even lead to British-built Black Hawks being exported from UK, with Lemmo saying it is “certainly possible”. Lemmo explained said that the company had been in discussion with some unnamed companies about a UK FAL to find " the most capable partners". Over at Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sikorsky, (which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year), CEO Paul Lemmo revealed that the company could set up a UK final assembly line as a "very robust industrial package", should its Black Hawk helicopter be selected for the UK MoD’s New Medium Helicopter requirement to replace the aging Puma and other utility types for 44 helicopters. Let’s take a look at the highlights.Ĭould the Black Hawk be built in Britain?
