Indonesian carriers – Lion Air and Batik Air under the Lion Air group, as well as Super Air Jet – have recently trusted Airbus’ digital solutions to achieve efficiency in their maintenance and flight operations. 

These carriers have already adopted the Airbus Skywise Health Monitoring (SHM) solution as its fleet performance tool, as well as the NAVBLUE N-Flight Planning (N-FP). In total, the various contracts will cover up to 110 aircraft, comprising the A320 and A330 Family.

Harnessing cloud and big data technology of the Skywise aviation data platform, SHM collates and centralises the aircraft alerts in real time, flight-deck effects, maintenance messages etc., prioritises and  correlates them with the relevant troubleshooting procedures, highlights operational impacts, and provides the maintenance history of the system, allowing effective management of the aircraft events. Overall, SHM saves airlines time and decreases the cost of unscheduled maintenance thanks to data-driven decisions.

In addition, Lion Air, Batik Air, as well as Super Air Jet continue to rely on NAVBLUE for various aviation services, including navigation charts, Flight Management System (FMS) navigation databases, and the aircraft performance calculator tool (Flysmart+). 

For these airlines, this service scope has now been expanded to encompass N-Flight Planning (N-FP) – a robust solution that generates optimised flight plans, while offering seamless integrations with third-party systems. Its event-driven automation and alerting features enhance productivity and enable a manage-by-exception approach.

“We are pleased that Lion Air, Batik Air and Super Air Jet have adopted SHM and NAVBLUE N-Flight Planning (N-FP) to improve fleet efficiency and health monitoring. These contracts are testament to the rebounding Indonesian aviation market, which has also shown full confidence in Airbus’ digital solutions. We look forward to supporting our customers in Indonesia as they continue their growth trajectories,” said Anand Stanley, President Airbus Asia-Pacific.

Air Niugini, the national carrier of Papua New Guinea, has signed a firm order with Airbus for six latest generation single aisle A220-100s under its fleet modernisation programme. In addition, the carrier will acquire three A220-300s and another two A220-100s from third party lessors. 

The order was announced at a special event in Port Moresby by Gary Seddon, Acting Chief Executive Officer Air Niugini and Anand Stanley, President Airbus Asia-Pacific, in the presence of the Hon. James Marape, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea and Hon. William Duma, Minister for State Enterprises.

Combining the longest range, lowest fuel consumption and widest cabin in the 100-150 seat category, the A220 will be operated by Air Niugini across its domestic and regional network. The new fleet will deliver more capacity and greater reliability across the domestic network and enable the carrier to fly from capital Port Moresby to new destinations across the Asia-Pacific region.

Gary Seddon, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Air Niugini said: “This is a milestone in the history of our national airline that will support the growth of trade and tourism in Papua New Guinea. The new aircraft will offer the highest levels of comfort for our passengers, while also ensuring a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions when compared to the aircraft they will replace.”

Minister Duma said: “This is a momentous occasion for Air Niugini. Coinciding with the airline’s 50^th Anniversary, Air Niugini secures six new regional jets that will revolutionise travel for the citizens of Papua New Guinea. I am looking forward to welcoming the ‘People’s Balus’ (the people’s plane) to our skies”.

Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International, said: “Air Niugini has seen how much more the A220 brings to their airline than the competing product in this space, so much more efficiency, range, comfort and growth potential. We thank Air Niugini for its confidence in Airbus and are committed to offering our full support to the airline as it transitions to its new fleet.”

Air Niugini also announced that it has selected a flight planning support system from Airbus subsidiary NAVBLUE for its fleet. Called N-Flight Planning (N-FP), the solution will help the airline optimise on fuel, time and cost to meet operational needs, while ensuring overall safety and compliance. 

The A220 is the most modern airliner in its size category, carrying between 100 to 150 passengers on flights of up to 3,450 nautical miles (6,390 km). Depending on cabin configuration, the A220-100 serves the 100-135 seat market, while the larger A220-300 is perfectly tailored for the 120-150 seat market. 

The aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation GTF™ engines. Offering 25% lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, the A220 also has the largest cabin, seats and windows in its class, ensuring superior comfort. 

As with all Airbus aircraft, the A220 is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus aims for all its aircraft to be capable of operating with 100% SAF by 2030. 

As at the end of September, Airbus has received over 800 orders from around 30 customers for the A220, of which more than 280 have been delivered. The A220 is already in successful service with 17 airlines worldwide.

The cooperation project between Europe and China financed by the EU-China Aviation Partnership Project (*), and supported by NAVBLUE, has successfully demonstrated the Established on RNP AR concept to support simultaneous independent approaches in Tianjin Binhai airport, China, on September 26th, 2023. 

Required Navigation Performance with Authorization Required (RNP AR), a Performance Based Navigation (PBN) navigation specification, is the ideal solution for this type of airport. 

During this demonstration, two Tianjin Airlines Airbus A320 aircraft performed a simultaneous approach at night on runways 16L and 16R. One aircraft used an RNP AR approach designed by NAVBLUE, the other one  used the published Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.

Simultaneous independent approaches are an important concept to support the operational efficiency needs of large airports. Traditionally this concept relies on the use of the Instrument Landing System (ILS), which implies long straight trajectories.

Established on RNP AR (EoR) is a recent concept that enables the use of RNP AR approaches along with ILS or another RNP AR. This concept significantly improves the efficiency of simultaneous independent approaches:

• The RNP AR trajectory is much shorter than the ILS, with track miles reduction between 10 to 30 miles per approach.
• The ILS trajectory itself is also shortened as the constraint for 1000 feet vertical separation is removed.

This demonstration paves the way for extended trial operations in Tianjin and the use of EoR in China and Europe as a means to foster positive environmental impact: 

• Reducing track miles
• Reducing noise at airports with parallel runways

This project was led with the cooperation of the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC), Tianjin Airlines, Tianjin Airport, FRACS and PBN4ATC.
