Cebu Pacific receives first A330neo
Manila, 29 November 2021 – Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of its first A330neo as it begins its widebody fleet modernisation programme.
The aircraft is configured with 459 seats in single-class layout and will be operated by the airline on trunk routes within the Philippines and the rest of Asia, as well as on longer range services to Australia and the Middle East. The A330neo offers versatility for a wide range of routes from shorter regional services to medium and long haul operations.
Altogether Cebu Pacific has ordered 16 A330neo, and also has 16 A320neo and 22 A321neo outstanding to be delivered. The low-cost carrier currently operates 50 Airbus aircraft, comprising 43 A320 Family and 7 A330ceo.
The aircraft is powered by Rolls-Royce’s latest-generation Trent 7000 engines and features a new composite wing with increased span for enhanced aerodynamics.
The A330neo brings a step change in efficiency, consuming 25% less fuel than previous generation aircraft and a similar reduction in CO2 emissions. The outstanding efficiency of the A330neo also ensures compliance with current and future sustainability requirements in terms of noise and emissions
With an order book of more than 1,800 aircraft at the end of October 2021, the A330 remains the most popular widebody family aircraft of all time.
China Airlines becomes new operator of A321neo
Taipei, 30 November 2021 – China Airlines (CAL) has become the latest operator of the A321neo, following the delivery of its first aircraft of the type, on lease from Air Lease Corporation (ALC) (NYSE: AL).
The aircraft operated with a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF provides a reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over its lifecycle, compared to traditional jet fuel.
The aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines and seats 180 passengers in a two-class layout. The A321neo incorporates the Airbus Cabin Flex, which enables optimal use of space by relocating various fixtures and fittings, providing the highest levels of passenger comfort.
CAL’s A321neo will be able to fly on routes of up to seven hours from Taipei.
CAL’s A321neos also come with a Cargo Loading System that enables container cargo operations, further reinforcing the airline and Taipei’s position as a global air freight hub.
Altogether CAL will acquire 25 A321neo aircraft, comprising 11 directly ordered from Airbus and 14 under lease agreements. The A321neo will form the core of CAL’s single-aisle fleet and offers cockpit commonality with CAL’s existing A330 and A350 aircraft.
The A321neo is a member of the A320neo Family, which offers the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky and incorporates the latest technologies, including new-generation engines and Sharklets, delivering a 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption per seat.
At the end of October 2021, the A320neo Family had won more than 7,500 firm orders from over 120 customers worldwide.

Chrono Jet adds first B737-800
The 20.1-year-old Boeing aircraft was previously owned by Carlyle Aviation Partners but was bought by Chrono Jet. Last operated by Aerolineas Argentinas through March 2020, it was ferried to Blytheville in January 2021 and remains parked at the Arkansas airport, Flightradar24 ASD-B data shows.
The jet will join Chrono Jet's existing B737 fleet of two B737-200s and one B737-200(C). It is the second time the airline has attempted to induct a B737NG - its first venture into that type, in April 2021, ended with the aircraft being transferred to Nolinor Aviation (N5, Montréal Trudeau) for OWG operations. It never operated for Chrono Jet. Chrono Jet did not respond to ch-aviation's question regarding the B737-800 plans, while Nolinor Aviation denied having any relationship with Chrono Jet.
Chrono Jet is a subsidiary of Chrono Aviation (NDL, Québec). Besides the B737s, the two airlines also operate seven PC-12s, one DHC-8-100, one Beech (twin turboprop) King Air B300, and two Beech 1900Ds.

BA Euroflyer registered as name for new British Airways Gatwick arm
By Phil Davies
BA Euroflyer is the name of the new British Airways offshoot set to start operating from Gatwick next year.
The registration of the title at Companies House is a further step towards the establishment of the business.
BA has already come to agreement with a number of unions over staffing for the Gatwick carrier and other talks are ongoing.
The airline finalised negotiations last week with the Unite union, which represents more than 10,000 of the carrier’s cabin crew, engineers and ground staff.
Final talks with ground handling staff are now expected to be concluded after BA reached agreement with pilots’ union Balpa last month.
In a note to colleagues last week, BA chief executive Sean Doyle said: “Our plans for a new BA branded subsidiary to fly short-haul at Gatwick are progressing well, and whilst we still have some further negotiations to sort, it looks likely that we will be up and running to fly the summer schedule.”
