CAA expedites enforcement 

action against Ryanair 

The UK Civil Aviation Authority 

(CAA) has launched enforcement 

action against Ryanair for persistently 

misleading passengers 

with inaccurate information regarding 

their rights in respect of 

its recent cancellations. Ryanair, 

in announcing thousands more 

cancellations to its scheduled 

programme, the airline has again 

failed to provide customers with 

the necessary and accurate information 

relating to their passenger 

rights, particularly around rerouting 

and care and assistance entitlements, 

which includes expenses, 

the CAA said. Chief Executive, 

Andrew Haines, said: “There are 

clear laws in place, which are intended 

to assist passengers in the 

event of a cancellation, helping 

minimise both the frustration and 

inconvenience caused by circumstances 

completely out of their 

control. The CAA may seek legal 

undertakings from operators to 

ensure they change their policies 

and comply with the law. Ryanair 

has replied: “We will be meeting 

with the CAA and will comply fully 

with whatever requirements they 

ask us to.” 

Prague wins at World Routes 

Prague Airport has received the 

World Routes Marketing Award. 

The Czech airport won the category 

of airports handling 4 – 20 

million passengers a year at the 

World Routes international conference, 

hosted in Barcelona. Krakow, 

Birmingham and Naples out 

of European airports and Auckland, 

New Zealand were the runner-up 

in the category, alongside 

Václav Havel Airport Prague. 

Bombardier Vs Boeing 

Tariff war threatens UK retaliation 

The British government has warned 

aircraft maker Boeing that it could 

lose UK defence contracts over its 

part in a US decision to slap tariffs 

of 219% on rival Bombardier. The 

move would make the C Series 

product line much more expensive 

in the key US market. 

Fears are that 

tariffs could 

threaten Bombardier 

jobs in 

Belfast, in the 

UK where the 

C Series wings 

are built. Rival 

Boeing has argued that Bombardier 

had received unfair state subsidies 

from the UK and Canada, making 

the new jetliners cheaper to buy 

than it cost to build them. 

“The simple truth is that Bombardier 

created a superior aircraft that is more 

efficient.....” 

Bombardier 

A Bombardier statement said: 

“Bombardier shares Boeing’s commitment 

to a level playing field, but 

in this case, they were not even 

on the field. Delta ordered the 

C Series because Boeing stopped 

making an aircraft of the size Delta 

needed years ago. It is pure hypocrisy 

for Boeing to say that the 

C Series launch pricing is a “violation 

of global trade law” when Boeing 

does the same for its new aircraft.

jobs around the world, including 

thousands of U.K and U.S. jobs 

and billions of purchases from the 

many U.K. and U.S. suppliers who 

build components for the C Series. 

The U.S. government should reject 

Boeing’s attempt to tilt the playing 

field in its favour and 

impose an indirect tax 

on the U.S. flying public 

through unjustified import 

tariffs.”

Bombardier created a 

superior aircraft that is 

more efficient, more comfortable, 

and quieter. The C Series serves a 

market segment not supported by 

any U.S. manufacturer. Delta wants

U.S. flying public. Boeing wants to prevent 

U.S. passengers from realizing these benefits, 

irrespective of the harm that it would cause 

to the U.S. aerospace industry and the cost to 

airlines and consumers.” 

The preliminary decision taken in Washington, 

has cast a shadow over the UK government’s 

attempts to seek a new free trade deal with 

Washington after Britain leaves the EU. 

Expressing disappointment at the decision, 

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said she was

Justin Trudeau, to seek a different outcome.

PW Thrust Reverser Actuation System 

Woodward has signed an agreement with Airbus 

to supply the Thrust Reverser Actuation 

System (TRAS) for the new nacelle of the Airbus 

A320neo aircraft powered by the Pratt and Whitney 

engine. Woodward will design, develop and 

manufacture a TRAS system including a suite of 

locking and feedback actuators, flex shafts and 

tertiary locks. Application of Woodward’s TRAS 

system platforms for single-aisle aircraft will enhance 

the new nacelle’s design and reliability. 

Sepang Aircraft Engineering opens second 

hangar 

Sepang Aircraft Engineering (SAE) officially 

opened its second hangar on September 21. The 

event also celebrated the 10th anniversary of 

the independent maintenance, repair and overhaul 

(MRO) centre. The 12,000 m² hangar boosts 

SAE’s capacity to handle the Airbus A320 Family, 

and can accommodate two of the aircraft at 

any time for major maintenance checks. It also 

features Malaysia’s first eco-friendly closed-door 

dedicated paint bay, as well as state-of-the-art 

workshops for the repair and overhaul of a wide 

range of components used on Airbus aircraft, including 

hydraulic and pneumatic systems. SAE’s 

first hangar, which opened in 2007, has a floor 

area of 37,000 m² and can accommodate up to 

six single-aisle aircraft or two wide-body aircraft 

at any one time. In addition to its commercial 

aircraft activities, SAE provides spare parts and 

technical support services to the Royal Malaysian 

Air Force’s fleet of A400M military airlifters. 

Airbus has initiated its latest research in further reducing the fuel consumption of airliners 

– keeping the company and Europe at the forefront of enhancing air transportation’s ecological 

footprint. This milestone was the Airbus A340 Flight Lab’s first takeoff equipped with 

outer wing sections designed for highly smooth airflow over their surfaces. Known as natural 

laminar flow, such smoothed passage of air creates less drag than the airflow on traditional 

wings, potentially reducing fuel burn by as much as 4.6% on an 800-nautical mile trip. Designated 

as project BLADE – an acronym for Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in 

Europe – this research effort utilizes the first-ever A340 jetliner produced by Airbus, with its 

outboard wings replaced with approximately 10-meter-long laminar wing panels. These panels 

represent about two-thirds of the wing size on a short- or medium-range airliner, for which the 

laminar flow technology is deemed best suited. BLADE is organized through Europe’s Clean 

Sky aeronautical research program. The BLADE project involves 21 European partners with 500 

contributors, including GKN Aerospace: designer of the starboard laminar flow wing panel, 

and Saab: designer of the port wing segment. 

Airbus flight test engineer Philippe Seve said preparations of the A340 BLADE testbed have 

spanned 16 months, which included integration of the laminar flow wing sections, along with 

the installation of a highly complex installation of sensors and instrumentation to collect 2,750 

dedicated measurements during some 150 flight test hours. 

A team of 10 specially-trained pilots, test engineers and flight test engineers have been preparing 

for the A340 BLADE flight evaluations, spending time in a simulator and familiarizing 

themselves with the mission equipment – the most technologically-advanced to be installed 

on an Airbus flight test aircraft. 

The facility also houses a major regional inventory 

of spare parts for Airbus A320, A330 and 

A380 aircraft for airlines that have selected the 

Airbus Flight Hour Services (FHS) total support 

package for their fleets. SAE employs some 500 

people. Its customers include the AirAsia Group, 

Cebu Pacific, Indigo, Jetstar Asia, Scoot, Malindo 

Air, MASWings and VietJet Air.

avoiding the need to install any additional hardware. 

Initially, ALL4JETS will be using OASES to 

support two Embraer E-190 regional jets and 

two Dash 8-Q400 turboprop aircraft on behalf 

of their lessors, with further E-Jets and ATR aircraft 

also being assessed. Founded in 2013, the

Mototok pushes back an aircraft at Heathrow T5 

Photo: BA 

British Airways has become the first airline to introduce high-tech remote-controlled devices 

to push back aircraft across its short-haul operation. The airline is modernizing its operation to 

maintain and further improve punctuality for its customers. In partnership with Heathrow, the 

eco-friendly Mototok tugs will allow British Airways staff to prepare aircraft for departure more 

efficiently. The airline is the first commercial operator to deploy the devices across multiple aircraft 

stands. The equipment, used to move Airbus short-haul aircraft, replaces traditional diesel 

tugs, allowing a single ramp agent to push an aircraft backwards from the gate remotely. Emissions 

free and capable of moving planes with precision, five Mototoks are currently in operation 

across 25 stands at Terminal 5. They were integrated into the operation in August, and more 

than 100,000 customers have benefited from smoother departures already.

On the occasion of the APEX Expo 2017, ATR 

has signed a deal with aircraft cabin technology 

supplier Amphenol Phitek, which will provide 

operators with the option of a standalone 

wireless In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system. 

This will allow passengers to further enjoy 

their on-board experience by reading newspapers, 

downloading tourist guides, listening to 

music and watching films, series or other multimedia 

content on their personal electronic 

devices. Available from June 2018, this type of 

IFE will become an optional feature on all new 

ATRs, as well as being easily retrofittable on 

existing aircraft. This on-board streaming will 

be delivered by a simple, flexible IFE box solution. 

Since no electrical or mechanical connections 

are necessary, this box can be installed 

or removed as required, on every type of aircraft 

model. Airlines can liaise with the supplier 

to determine the best possible streaming 

content and consider the associated revenue 

opportunities.

The world’s first self-flying taxi, the Volocopter X2 

Photo: Volocopter 

Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence saw a world first as a new two-seater self-flying taxi made 

its ‘proof of concept flight’. According to a government statement, the self-flying taxi will “be 

used for the world’s first self-flying taxi service set to be introduced by Dubai’s Road and Transport 

Authority (RTA)”, with passengers being shuttled across the city in the pilotless vehicle. 

Plans for the taxi were first unveiled at The World Government Summit in Dubai seven months 

ago. It has been developed and built by Volocopter, a German manufacturer of autonomous 

air vehicles. In a statement from Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, 

Crown Prince of Dubai, he commented that: “After the remarkable success of the first driverless 

metro in the region, we are glad to witness today the test flight of the Autonomous 

Air Taxi. This is another testament to our commitment to driving positive change. We are 

constantly exploring opportunities to serve the community and advance the prosperity and 

happiness of society.” 

Michael Rudolph, Head, Aviation Regulations and Safety, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, is 

quoted as saying: “This is a something that has never been done before. We are so happy that 

this happened in Dubai. From a DCAA perspective, this proof-of-concept flight makes history 

and we are proud to be a support entity,” while also adding that the drone was monitored by 

a new drone tracking system newly implemented by the DCAA to ensure the utmost safety. 

According to Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors 

of the RTA the taxi “has a variety of unique features that include top security and safety 

standards, and multiple redundancies in all critical components such as propellers, motors, 

power source, electronics and flight controls. It is also fitted with optional emergency parachutes, 

nine independent battery systems, and a battery quick-charge and plug-in system, 

which takes two hours to reach full charge in the prototype version, a time that will be significantly 

reduced in the production version.” 

The taxi will be powered by clean electricity, with the current prototype having a maximum 

flight time of 30 minutes as a speed of 50kph, while it has a top flight speed of 100kph. It is 

understood that the taxi will be integrated with public transport systems in Dubai, including 

Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram, public buses, marine transit modes and taxis. 

JetBlue will become the first airline to introduce 

Airspace by Airbus on the A320 Family, 

following an agreement unveiled at APEX 

Expo. JetBlue customers will experience this 

newest A320 Family cabin aboard JetBlue 

aircraft starting in late 2020. Robin Hayes, 

President and CEO, JetBlue commented: “The 

Airspace cabin is aligned with our efforts to 

create an experience as comfortable as your 

own living room. We are looking forward to 

our continued partnership with Airbus. The 

launch of the new Airspace by Airbus interior 

will take JetBlue’s commitment to customer 

experience to the next level.”
