Agenda • Market Overview & Current Strategies • Trade Issues • Current and Future Situation • Conclusions • Q & A
RationaleforSuperjumbo • Fewer, larger aircraft will reduce airspace and airport congestion • Airlines will achieve lower operating costs
Boeing Cedes Market to Airbus • Airbus effectively signaled commitment • Companies have different market forecasts
Current Strategies • Airbus A380 • Delivery scheduled for 2006 • Validated by Boeing’s retreat • Boeing Sonic Cruiser • Betting on increased demand for smaller, faster jets
Trade Issues • 1992 EC –US Bilateral Agreement on Trade in Large Aircraft • Direct vs. indirect subsidation • 1994 Uruguay Round Agreement • Current status
Current Situation • Order status (A380) • Firm orders: 62 • Options: 60+ • Sonic Cruiser • Exists on paper only • No orders
Current Situation • Some airports being expanded • Dubai • Singapore • Schiphol (Amsterdam) • Hong Kong • Engines • GP 7000 series (GE / Pratt & Whitney alliance) • Trent 900 series (Rolls Royce)
And Now… • Success factors • A380: acceptability • Airports • Airlines • Load factor • Sonic Cruiser • Feasibility • Time factor
Conclusions • Boeing/Airbus pursuing different segments • This opens two segments for us as an engine manufacturer • We’re ready for both • It doesn’t appear that trade issues will affect this situation
