Star Alliance welcomed Air India

THE WAY TO MAKE BETTER CONNECTIONS ACROSS INDIA.

Star Alliance welcomed Air India as the first Indian airline to join a global alliance in July 2014.

This makes connecting to, from and across India easier. Anyone who does business in India will appreciate that it is never done in one place. A morning in Delhi airport illustrates flying is simply part of the daily commute.

With Air India being a member of Star Alliance, you can fly into one of the 12 international airports and connect to over 60 other destinations across India, making it easier for you to reach every business centre.

The biggest airport hub where Star Alliance connects nationally and internationally, is the brand new Terminal 2 in Mumbai. This state-of-the-art airport with 188 check-in counters enables you to travel into and on from India’s financial and economical capital more comfortably.

All Star Alliance flights to Delhi operate via the same place: Terminal 3, so you don’t have to change to another terminal between flights, which could cut down your connection times.

We’re excited about Air India being part of the alliance, making it easier for you to do business anywhere in India.

Emirates finalizes $56 billion deal for 150 Boeing 777s

Emirates' 150-jet order includes 115 777-9X models and 35 of the 777-8X version. The Associated Press adds "the list price for the 400-passenger 777-9X is $377.2 million, while the list price for the 777-8X - which can carry up to 350 passengers - is $349.8 million."

The deal also gives Emirates options for 50 additional 777s, which – if exercised – would boost the deal's list-price value to about $75 billion.

"With the order for 150 777Xs, Emirates now has 208 Boeing 777s pending delivery, creating and securing jobs across the supply chain," Emirates president Sir Tim Clark says in a joint statement from Boeing and Emirates.

"Today Emirates operates more than one in every 10 Boeing 777s aircraft built," Clark continues. "We fly 138 of these efficient planes across the globe spanning the USA and Latin America in the west, to New Zealand and Japan in the East. The 777X will offer us operational flexibility in terms of range, more passenger capacity and fuel efficiency, and we look forward to inducting them into our fleet from 2020."

Reuters writes Emirates' blockbuster 777 order "follows the surprise cancellation in June of a $16-billion order by Emirates to buy 70 of Airbus' A350 aircraft, which delivered a blow to the European planemaker's newest aircraft and hit its share price."

Reuters also notes Emirates' November airshow agreement with Boeing included Qatar Airways in a joint negotiation. "However, it was not clear whether the Doha airline had finalized its order yet," Reuters adds.

B 737 Max Ecab Construction underway

The road to development of the Boeing 737 MAX hit a major milestone recently, as construction for a new “e-cab” is underway. “An e-cab is an engineering flight simulator which gives you full fidelity. So a pilot can sit in the seat, can fly the airplane, and it feels like they are flying in a real airplane,” said Boeing Test & Evaluation 737 MAX e-cab project manager, Craig Standley.

E-cabs have become a valuable tool in the development, testing, and training of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The new 737 MAX e-cab will be outfitted with the latest flight deck displays that will be a part of the MAX. “This new display is actually an enhancement on the current 787 processing capabilities. So it gives us the ability to process more data, send more data to the pilots,” said BT&E 737 Chief Pilot Ray Craig.

The MAX e-cab, which can also serve as a Next-Generation 737 simulator, will be ready for limited testing later this year.
