After launching his Air Lease Corp. on Monday with an order for 51 Airbus A320s and A321s, Steven Udvar-Hazy announced Tuesday that the company has agreed to buy Embraer regional jets and ATR turboprops, the first time he has entered that market segment. Air Lease also revealed it has placed 54 firm orders with Boeing for the 737-800, including six options, for delivery in 2012.
Pratt & Whitney says it is “not giving up” on Rolls-Royce as a possible partner on the geared turbofan (GTF) family development through International Aero Engines, despite recent statements from the U.K. engine-maker that appear to make such a move more unlikely than ever.
Boeing has won a $9.1 billion order from Emirates for 30 777-300ERs, first deliveries of which will begin in 2011. Emirates is the world’s largest 777-300ER operator with 53 already in service, and with the latest order will see its stretched ER fleet swell to 101. The Dubai-based carrier, which is the only operator to fly all models of the 777—including the freighter—is already receiving 777-300ERs from an earlier order of 71 aircraft.
