Boeing forecasts Demand in India for 1,600 new airplanes

Boeing projects demand for more than 1,600 new airplanes in India over the next 20 years, valued at $205 billion. The company briefed its 20-year market outlook for the country today at India Aviation 2014, forecasting India’s commercial aviation fleet will grow more than five times in size.

“India’s demographics are highly favorable to the growth of air transportation,” said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president of Sales, Asia Pacific and India, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The share of India’s large population entering the workforce is growing. India could have the world’s fourth-largest economy if current trends continue helping drive demand for air travel.”

Boeing projects that passenger airlines in India will rely primarily on single-aisle airplanes such as the Next-Generation 737 and the 737 MAX, a new-engine variant of the market-leading 737, to connect passengers. Single-aisle airplanes will represent 83 percent of the new airplanes in the country.

For long-haul traffic, Boeing forecasts twin-aisle airplanes such as the 747-8 Intercontinental, 777 and the 787 Dreamliner will account for 15 percent of new airplane deliveries. Boeing’s recently launched 787-10 and 777X also will support the demand for fuel-efficient twin-aisle airplanes in India.

The 20-year forecast of airplane deliveries by airplane types is as follows:

India New Airplane Deliveries: 2013-2032

Airplane Type Deliveries Value (US$)
Single-aisle 1,330 $132 billion
Twin-aisle 235 $72 billion
Regional jets 35 $1 billion

“India will continue to have one of the strongest, most vibrant aviation markets in the world over the next two decades,” said Keskar. “While passenger growth is recovering and we project a healthy aviation industry in the long term, adverse near-term trends of overcapacity, a weak rupee and high fuel prices will affect airline profitability in the near term.”

Globally, Boeing projects a $4.8 trillion market for 35,280 airplanes over the next 20 years, driven by an increase in deliveries from India, China and other emerging markets. That forecast represents the traffic growing at 5.0 percent annual rate over the next 20 years and the world fleet is expected to double by 2032.

Honeywell and Safran sigs MoU with GoAir to support Electric Taxing System

Honeywell and Safran have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with GoAir, one of India’s leading low-cost carriers, to support the advancement of the EGTS electric taxiing system, a technology that can save airlines up to 4 percent block fuel consumption per flight.

EGTS uses electric motors on the main landing gear to enable the aircraft to push back autonomously and taxi without using its main engines to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions. The news follows an agreement with Airbus in December to jointly evaluate EGTS as an option for the company’s A320 family of airplanes.

“At GoAir, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to lower costs for our passengers while improving their flying experience at the same time,” said Giorgio De Roni, CEO, GoAir. “This agreement allows us to actively participate in the system’s development — a technology that we believe has the potential to not only save fuel and reduce costs, but also improve aircraft turnaround times and lower noise and emissions in the airport environment.”

Under the agreement, GoAir will provide data on its taxiing operations to Honeywell and Safran to assist in maturing the system and to define the precise fuel and other operational benefits it would see by using the technology across its fleets. The agreement will also see GoAir assist in establishing the airline standard operational procedures for aircraft equipped with the system.

“Where EGTS comes into its own is in supporting high-volume, fast-turnaround, short-haul movements, where aircraft spend a large proportion of the day on the tarmac taxiing,” said Brian Wenig, vice president EGTS Program, Honeywell Aerospace. “As the only electric taxiing system to receive support from a major OEM to date, EGTS represents an exciting, cost-effective technology for airlines to lower their fuel burn and save money.”

Since the technology’s “first move” last April on board the joint venture’s A320 test aircraft, EGTS has logged more than 200 kilometers of rolling tests, including various load configurations and runway conditions, complex maneuvers such as pushback, tight turns and U-turns, and varying specifications of acceleration and speed up to maximum takeoff weight.

“EGTS has a significant benefit over other systems in that it has a main-gear-based electric taxiing design,” said Olivier Savin, vice president EGTS Program, Safran. “Consequently, EGTS is the only onboard system currently in development that can generate enough traction to mitigate the use of engines during taxiing in all weather conditions and at all airports.”

CEOs call for indigenisation, single certifying agency

The CEOs forum at the ongoing India Aviation show at Hyderabad has largely felt that the Indian aviation industry would be better off with single certifying agency authorised to issue civil and military flying rights simultaneously for any aircraft produced in the country.

A press note from HAL said: “The participation of high profile CEOs from Indian industry chaired by secretary, civil aviation, Ashok Lavasa, had free-wheeling discussions on several contentious as well as on-going business challenges.”

HAL chairman R K Tyagi, said that a single certifying agency would be in the national interest as it would mean huge savings in terms of costs and time.

“It is absolutely must to give fillip to our own products both in civilian and military segments and reduce dependency on foreign products,” he added. The theme of the forum was ‘Development of Sustainable Air Connectivity”.

The discussions also focused on the critical issue of some Indian products getting approval from relevant certifying agencies in Europe and USA.

“For example, our products such as Dhruv helicopter (civil and military variants) has proved its metal in the most challenging situation why shouldn’t it fly in America or anywhere else,” Tyagi asked, insisting that quick procedural solutions must be found at various levels to pave way for Indian products to fly abroad.

INDIA AVIATION: HAL displays civilian helicopter concepts

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) says its planned 3t Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) should be ready for first flight in 2017, and has also proposed a VIP cabin configuration for its 5.5t Dhruv rotorcraft.

Although known mainly as a defence contractor, HAL displayed the two civilian helicopter concepts at the India Aviation event in Hyderabad.

The LUH will be able to carry up to six passengers and will be designed as a multirole aircraft.

HAL has yet to sell a VIP version of the Dhruv, which is widely used by the country’s military. However, the airframer believes there could be demand in India’s civilian and government sector for a VIP variant of the indigenously developed type.

India Aviation runs from 12-16 March.

INDIA AVIATION: Beechcraft gears up for Indian growth

Beechcraft sees significant opportunities for growth in India, and believes that the country is progressing towards embracing business and general aviation. “India is making progress and things are improving,” says John Williams, the company’s newly- appointed country director for India. “There are still issues but they are working on them.” Wiliams was speaking with Flightglobal at the India Aviation show in Hyderabad. The company brought three aircraft to the show: a King Air 350ER, a King Air 250, and a King Air C90GTx. Beechcraft’s confidence is highlighted by the recent opening of an office in New Delhi and appointment of Williams. Prior to joining Beechcraft, Williams worked for a major US defence contractor, where he spent years dealing with India’s military acquisition offset processes. Williams estimates that there are 65 Beechcraft turboprop and piston aircraft operating in India. Most of these are owned by state governments, charter companies, and other firms. One challenge Williams sees is that India makes no distinction between aircraft used for private or air transport purposes. This greatly complicates, and adds cost, to owning an aircraft in the country. Other items, such as gaining flyover permits from Indian states, can take up to 72 hours to obtain. Still, he has noted definite improvements over recent years, such as reduced bureaucracy in relation to obtaining landing permits.
