JetBrokers Europe Reports Best Month on Record for Aircraft Sales
JetBrokers Europe, the Farnborough-based European arm of JetBrokers Inc, reports the best month on record in July in terms of pre-owned aircraft sales activity. In addition to sales of smaller aircraft, the JetBrokers team completed transactions for two mid-sized jets in July, a 2008 Cessna Citation Sovereign S/N 680-0189 and a 2004 Cessna Citation X S/N 750- 0228. Both aircraft were sold to private owners, based overseas. “The Citation X sale demonstrated the strength of our transatlantic offering. Whilst the aircraft was U.S. based, the owner was European, and with teams on both sides of the Atlantic we were able complete the transaction in less than three months,” commented JetBrokers Europe Managing Director Tim Barber. (The average Citation X has been on the market for over one year.) JetBrokers Europe also succeeded in selling the Sovereign to an Asian buyer in half the average time that the current stock of 680’s has been on the market.
Boeing to Provide 787 Predictive Maintenance to Japan Airlines
Boeing announced that Japan Airlines will expand Airplane Health Management (AHM) coverage to its future Boeing 787 fleet. AHM is a software system that monitors, collects and analyzes airplane data to give airplane customers valuable, real-time maintenance information. This information allows Japan Airlines to initiate the needed maintenance immediately upon arrival at the airport gate. Japan Airlines has 35 787 airplanes on
order, and has licensed Airplane Health Management for these airplanes in addition to its existing fleet of 46 777 airplanes. “The Airplane Health Management program has been helping Japan Airlines
optimize the reliability of our fleet of 777s, and it will greatly support a successful introduction of the 787 into the family,” said Nobuhiro Sato, executive officer of Engineering and Maintenance, Japan Airlines. Japan Airlines was a developmental
partner for the original Airplane Health Management development effort and has used the service continuously since 2005. The airline will use the AHM Real Time Fault Management Module on their 777 and 787 airplanes to communicate in-flight information to ground stations for diagnosis and quick operational decisions by scanning troubleshooting and historical repair data.
