Brazil will need 701 new aircraft valued at about $82 billion in the next 20 years to meet surging domestic demand

Airbus, the world’s largest aircraft maker, aims to sell as many as 26 A380 super-jumbo jets in the South American nation, says Rafael Alonso, executive vice president for Latin America and the Caribbean. The Toulouse, France-based company controls about 60% of the market in Latin America, and Brazil accounts about half its sales, he says.

“In the past few years, Latin America has been the only region in the world where airlines have been profitable,” Alonso said yesterday in an interview at Bloomberg’s Sao Paulo office.

There are currently no A380s flying to or from Latin America. The plane has a price tag of $375.3 million and the capacity to transport about 800 passengers.

Airbus aims to surpass Boeing Co. as the market leader for wide-body planes in the region. Twin-aisle jets provide higher profit margins for manufacturers. In Brazil, Airbus has 47% of the market, with Boeing controlling the rest, Alonso said.

Orders
Airbus has already sold 37 units of its A350 model in Latin America, 27 of which were purchased by Tam SA (TAMM4), Brazil’s largest airline by market value. The wide-body A350’s first delivery is now due in 2014’s first half, six months later than planned, and has a list price of $236.6 million to $299.7 million.

Airbus also has 75 orders for its single-aisle A320neo in Latin America, including 22 to be delivered to Tam. The A320neo is the latest version of the company’s top-selling plane.

By 2030, Brazil will be the fourth-largest domestic aircraft market after the U.S., China and India.

I hope we can be able to have 380 operating here, I heard SIngapore and Qatar Airways has been claimed to INFRAERO to allow a380 at Guarulhos and Viracopos Airports, lets see on the future.. anywayzz that a good news, huh?

BA prepares for arrival of Airbus A380 at Heathrow

British Airways has completed the latest phase of a redevelopment project at its engineering base at London Heathrow in preparation for the arrival of a new fleet of Airbus A380s in 2013.

The carrier's aircraft hangars are large enough to accommodate the Boeing 747 but are being adjusted in order to house the A380 and its larger tailfin.

One of the new features of the structures is a 24-tonne roof 'eyebrow' that was lifted into place as workers raised the height of the entrance to one of the buildings.

The hangars were built in the early 1950s and gained listed status from English Heritage in 1995.

Vance Williamson, head of property services for British Airways, said: 'This is an important step in converting our hangars ready for our new aircraft arriving in 2013. It could also allow British Airways to provide maintenance solutions to other A380 customers at Heathrow.'

He went on to reveal that the modifications are part of a wider plan designed to ensure that the airline's Heathrow engineering base remains a 'world-class' maintenance facility able to accommodate the latest aircraft.

Seeing the first photos I thought it might be No. 5 for Korean Air but I guess it's not

Elktest · November 26th, 2011, 05:37 AM

A380 take off from Qantas

Nice to see A380 being on final assembly for another operator

Maybe it's a stupid question but, why is the tail section always painted before assembly and the rest of the fuselage after ? thx

klm.b777 · November 26th, 2011, 08:02 PM

Nice to see a new A380 operator, especially this one when its painted..

I'm not sure but I believe that that part of the plane is build in a different factory / country and while they're doing that they add the custom painting for future operator

TG 380 will look awesome!

Airbus delivered Qantas’ eleventh A380 (MSN063) at a ceremony in Toulouse.

Her delivery flight is routing Toulouse to Sydney via Singapore. MSN063′s sister ship, MSN074, is currently in Toulouse for final testing before delivery in early December.

Once both are in service, they will allow Qantas to run daily Melbourne to Los Angeles flights.

WHEN DO U THINK, THAT THE AIRBUS 380 WILL GO TO MEXICO?
AND WHICHE AIRLINE: AF, BAW, LH??
I HOPE TO HAVE RESPONSES

giovani kun · November 29th, 2011, 09:32 PM

This would require Air France, Lufthansa to have more a380 planes in hands
The Rio de Janeiro Galeao, Sao Paulo Guarinhas, Mexico City Airport, Ministro Pistarini International Airport will be the first Latin America airports capable of handling the A380.
At the moment Air France 6 planes while Lufthansa has 8. I would say 2013-2014 on one of the above, or close to next year 2012 by Qantas

Earlier this week, the tail for China Southern’s fourth A380 (MSN088) arrived in Toulouse.

Body join is expected to begin next week.
