Boeing and ultra low cost Allegiant Air announced an order for 50 planes 737 MAX, with options for 50 additional aircraft.
In the first agreement between Boeing with the airínea ULCC, Allegiant seleccionó dos modelos, the 737-7 and the 737-8-200, of the family 737 MAX, que proporcionan los costos por asiento-milla más bajos para un avióhallway number único y alta confiabilidad de despacho.
Cabe indicar que Allegiant no será la primera vez que tendrá planes Boeing in its fleet having operated airplanes Boeing 757 and versions of the McDonnel MD-80, but yesí to implyá un gran cambio a futuro en su estructura de flota actualmente dominada por 117 planes Airbus from the A320 family.
«Si bien el corazón de nuestra estrategia continúa centrándose en los aviones de propiedad anterior, la infusión up 100 planes 737 directamente del fabricante traerá numerosos beneficios para el futuro, including flexibility for capacity growth and aircraft retirement, importantes beneficios ambientales y la configuración moderna y las características de cabina que nuestros clientes apreciarán» said Maurice J.. Gallagher, Jr., President and CEO of Allegiant.
With common elements and improved fuel efficiency, the family Boeing 737 MAX permite a las aerolíneas optimizar sus flotas en una amplia gama de misiones. The 737-7 ofrece bajos costos operativos que permiten a los transportistas abrir nuevas rutas con menos riesgo económonkey, and the 737-8-200 más grande ofrece un potencial de ingresos adicional y tiene el tamaño adecuado para la expansión del mercado de ULCC. In comparisonón con la flota actual de Allegiant, the new models 737 reducirán the use of combustible and the emissions of carbon in a 20%.
Boeing y Allegiant se asociarán en el soporte de entrada en servicio, what to allowá a transición sin problemas a medida que la aerolínea agregue el 737 and su operationón. Allegiant también useá un conjunto de herramientas digitales de Boeing Global Services para mejorar aún más la eficiencia operativa.
This order demonstrates the strong competition that exists between the two main aircraft manufacturers, donde cada cliente cuenta y permitirá a una u otra seguir posicionándose como líderes mundiales en el desarrollo aeronáuseful.
The KLM and Qantas order for Airbus recently came out, leaving Boeing without two of its most regular customers.… Boeing's response? offer a discount to a low-cost company like Allegiant to continue the media war to see who sells more between the two large production companies.
I mean, nothing new under the Sun in these times of few models and a pandemic that endangers the entire Industry.
In the end, competition is good no?
Boeing, always, without a doubt, has been, It is and will be much, much better and superior than Airbus., in all aspects, both technical and commercial. End of story.
The truth is that this request seems a bit strange to me., The airline already had many Airbus aircraft and no matter how efficient they may be, the cost of maintenance of the two types of aircraft will greatly increase the cost., Even so, I think he chose the right planes but in the long term because for now I think they would start making losses as soon as they arrive and from there they will improve.. Good post
What can be deduced is that they will completely change their fleet in the long term for all Boeing.
It is the most logical thing but I think that until they achieve it it will be a little more complicated especially because of the maintenance and the personnel like the pilots and others..
