It uses applied analytics to derive routes flown by airlines based on satellite-based flight tracking and fuses this with advanced fleet data. The new premium Routes tool is part of Ascend Profiles, a visual descriptive analytics tool which enables businesses to quickly view aircraft intelligence by airline or lessor.

Businesses such as aircraft lessors, banks or aircraft manufacturers are empowered to identify the aircraft flown by route for 1,700 airlines and factor development opportunities or risk into their decision-making. By leveraging satellite-based flight tracking data the tool identifies what routes and aircraft airlines actually flew rather than what they planned to fly providing the most accurate flight completion picture.

India is one of the markets in the spotlight currently, as air travel is helping to boost economic growth in the region. Low-cost-carrier, IndiGo recently announced it was looking to grow its international network and further solidify its domestic operations. According to Ascend Profiles, IndiGo has a fleet of 306 aircraft – (273 in service and 33 in storage), plus 501 on order. Of the delivered fleet, 36% are on operating lease.

The Routes tool shows which two-way international routes IndiGo was operating this January which it was not in January 2022. For example, 172 flights were tracked on the newly added route between Indira-Gandhi International Airport in Delhi to Tribhuvan International in Kathmandu. All operated using Airbus A320s.

Additionally, the new tool shows the bi-directional routes for which IndiGo has ramped up operations. The carrier saw the most significant growth on the Singapore – Bengaluru route, where it completed 62 flights, all using A320s, this January versus only one flight, using an A321, last January.

IndiGo also substantially increased its operations this year on the Dubai – Ahmedabad route, completing five times the number of flights in Jan 23 when compared with Jan 22. The Airline Routes tool is part of Ascend Profiles which visualizes aircraft intelligence of airline or lessor profiles and provides quick and accurate insights showing the latest 12-month year-over-year flights flown by an airline’s routes and can be viewed by flights, seats and ASKs. The tool is available as a web-app on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Future Economy: The double-deck seats received a mixed response from online users.

Published

on

By

One of the newly designed passenger aeroplane seats on display at the AIX Expo has grown more prominent, and it is this particular seat. Alejandro Nez Vicente, a 23-year-old designer of aeroplane seats, feels that the double-deck seat pattern concept is the future of commercial aviation.

The new approach to airline economy seats has caused quite a stir online. Sam Chui posted some photographs to his Twitter account, and many users immediately began joking about the absurd idea of locking passengers in an up-and-down position.

Airlines frequently request additional approvals to expand cabin space so they can accommodate a greater number of passengers and gradually lower flight prices for such places.

Nez Vicente claims that detractors have misread his goals when they claim that the design is all about airlines packing more seats on planes and potential passengers shudder at the prospect of claustrophobia.

The double-deck seating has received mixed responses from certain travellers.

Jerry user writes. I know we’re all “fascinated” with the “gas issues”…but what about the windows? One of those won’t have windows to lean against.

Ivan Coninxuser writes ” I don’t think this will work, for multiple reasons: 1) it’s not really ‘visible’, but basically you’re looking at another pax’s behind; 2) I don’t want to know how these seats will look like after hundreds of flights; 3) it appears to me that this concept in fact uses more space.

Jerry Frogett writes – Errrm… overhead lockers? Tray tables? ‘Upper deck’ can’t stretch out, or if they were able to then not without booting lower deck pax in the head… glad it is only a concept!

Most passengers have varied views to this and express concern about whether it will actually happen in the future. Most also claim that they will face penalties if they embark on long-haul flights while in such poor health. Others believe that the increased use of single-aisle flights will minimise carbon emissions.

Embraer Concludes Flight Tests for Firefighting Capability for the C-390 Millennium

A well-known aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, is in talks to partner up with Tata Group and Mahindra Group to build up local manufacturing capabilities in India. With the help of this strategic alliance, India’s aerospace sector will expand, domestic manufacturing will be strengthened, and jobs will be generated.

“Tata told us that their initial focus would be on large aircraft, including Airbus and Boeing. After that, they would consider smaller, regional aircraft, and there is the market where we are,” according to president and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto.

While Airbus and Boeing dominate the market for bigger commercial planes, Embraer is a market leader in regional aviation. By the end of 2023, the business wants to have decided on an Indian partner for the production of defense aircraft.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is looking for medium-transport aircraft that have a lifting capacity of 18 to 30 tonnes. It aims to finish this search by 2025 or 2026. The C-390 Millennium multi-mission tactical air transport aircraft, the newest defense offering from Embraer, which debuted the plane at Aero India 2023 in Bengaluru in February, has been pushed for the order.

According to CEO Neto, Embraer sees “a good opportunity” in India. “The IAF has already seen our aircraft, and they approve. We have received positive feedback about the C-390 Millennium from nations like the Netherlands. We believe that the C-390 Millennium is the greatest option for that size of aircraft.

The Indian defense aviation market is not new to Embraer. The business has previously worked with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to produce three Netra airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft based on the ERJ145 platform of Embraer, which are used by the Indian Air Force (IAF). The IAF and the Border Security Force (BSF) both use Embraer Legacy 600 aircraft to fly VIPs and government officials.

The partnership combines the skills and strengths of each partner. Together with Tata Group’s manufacturing capabilities and Mahindra Group’s technical know-how, Embraer’s extensive domain understanding and technological expertise in the aerospace sector form a potent partnership that can provide high-quality products and solutions.

Embraer, Tata Group, and Mahindra Group’s cooperation paves the way for sustained success and growth. This cooperation can investigate the potential in both domestic and foreign markets as the demand for aircraft goods and services keeps growing. Together, it can boost India’s position as a major center of manufacturing, which would benefit the country’s aerospace sector as well.
