While single-aisle engine news stole the limelight at the Paris air show, developments at the top end of the commercial thrust bracket gave the first hints of power battles to come over Boeing's planned successor to the 777.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) engineering staff met with Rolls-Royce and Boeing at the Paris air show on June 20 to make final preparations for the arrival of the first Boeing 787 in Japan on July 4 for service readiness tests. The aircraft will be flown between cities on four of ANA’s routes in southern Japan over a three-day period to simulate daily airline operations, and perform fit checks of ground equipment. The flights, which will include routes between Tokyo, Osaka, Kansai and Hiroshima, will emulate current domestic operations flown by Boeing 767-300s.
Boeing says concerted international government and industry cooperation is needed to avoid a crippling shortage of qualified pilots and technicians. Based on aircraft numbers from its commercial market outlook, the company predicts a need for 1.1 million air and ground crew by 2030. Of these, around 460,000 will be pilots and 650,000 technicians. Expressed in terms of annual recruitment, this represents training 22,000 new pilots and 22,500 technicians every year to support the industry’s predicted growth.
