ANA787 飛越日本富士山
西雅圖，2020年2月25日-波音[NYSE：BA]和ANA HOLDINGS INC。（ANA HD）今天宣佈，日本航空集團決定再購買多達20架787夢想飛機。與波音公司達成的協議包括11架787-10，一架787-9和五架787-9的選擇權，按目錄價格計算，總價值超過50億美元。該航空公司還計劃從亞特蘭蒂斯航空公司購買三架新的787-9飛機。
協議最終確定後，其787飛機的總預訂量提高到100多架飛機。
ANA執行副總裁Yutaka Ito表示：“波音787飛機為ANA提供了卓越的服務，我們很自豪能夠通過增加更多這些技術先進的飛機來擴大機隊。這些飛機對於全日空而言是重要的一步，因為我們致力於使我們的整個機隊更加環保，並進一步降低噪音輸出。”
按照這一訂單，該航空公司將在其世界一流機隊中增加11種最大和最省油的Dreamliner機型787-10。憑藉一系列新技術和革命性設計，787-10在2018年投入服務時為燃油效率和運營經濟性樹立了新的標杆。與舊飛機相比，該飛機使操作員的每個座位的燃油效率提高了25％在同類產品中。
全日空航空公司將787-10視為完美的飛機，取代了預定退役的先前波音777機型。
伊藤裕隆說：“在國內航線上引進787-10飛機將有助於全日空集團保持領導地位，並提高我們作為負責任的企業公民的經營能力。”
ANA在2004年首次訂購787 Dreamliner時便成為其全球首發客戶。此後，與所有Dreamliner運營商的一半一樣，日本航空公司也下了後續訂單。但是，ANA本身就是世界上最大的787運營商，其機隊中有71架飛機，還有12架將在最新協議之前交付。新協議將帶來11架額外的787-10飛機，一架787-9和另五架787-9飛機的選擇權。
ANA也在波音新型777X的啟動客戶群中。
“通過不斷提高客戶滿意度標準並投資於技術最先進和能力最強的機隊，ANA已成長為亞洲領先的航空公司集團之一。我們為ANA HD再次訂購更多的787飛機而感到非常榮幸，將其Dreamliner機隊增加到100架以上。”波音公司商業銷售和營銷高級副總裁Ihssane Mounir說。 “我們有信心787-10的獨特功能將繼續以一流的舒適性和可靠性安全地為其乘客提供服務。”
787夢幻客機在減少全球碳排放量方面發揮著重要作用。自2011年首架787投入商業運營以來，Dreamliner系列已節省了超過480億磅的燃油。此外，787機隊的噪音足跡比它所取代的飛機小60％。
ANA HD的新型787噴氣式飛機將由GE的GEnx-1B發動機提供動力。新發動機將使787-10的每個座位的燃油效率提高25％。
SEATTLE, Feb. 25, 2020,/PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE:BA] and ANA HOLDINGS INC. (ANA HD) announced the Japanese airline group today decided to acquire up to 20 more 787 Dreamliner airplanes. The agreement with Boeing includes 11 787-10s, one 787-9 and options for five 787-9s valued at more than $5 billion at list prices. The airline also plans to acquire three new 787-9 airplanes from Atlantis Aviation Corporation.
Once the agreements are finalized, it will be ANA's sixth order for the ultra-efficient and passenger-pleasing Dreamliner and bring their overall 787 order book to more than 100 airplanes.
"Boeing's 787s have served ANA with distinction, and we are proud to expand our fleet by adding more of these technologically-advanced aircraft," said Yutaka Ito, Executive Vice President of ANA and ANA HD. "These planes represent a significant step forward for ANA as we work to make our entire fleet even more eco-friendly and further reduce noise output."
With this order, the airline will add 11 of the largest and most fuel-efficient Dreamliner models, the 787-10 to its world-class fleet. Powered by a suite of new technologies and a revolutionary design, the 787-10 set a new benchmark for fuel efficiency and operating economics when it entered service in 2018. The airplane allows operators to achieve 25 percent better fuel efficiency per seat compared to older airplanes in its class.
ANA sees the 787-10 as the perfect airplane to replace previous domestic 777 models that are slated for retirement.
"Introducing the 787-10 on our domestic routes will help ANA Group maintain its leadership role and improve our ability to operate as a responsible corporate citizen," Yutaka Ito said.
ANA became the global launch customer of the 787 Dreamliner when it placed its initial order in 2004. Since then, like half of all Dreamliner operators, the Japanese carrier has placed follow-on orders. However, ANA is in a class by itself as the world's biggest 787 operators with 71 airplanes in its fleet and 12 more to be delivered prior to the latest agreement. The new deal will bring the 11 additional 787-10 airplanes, one 787-9 and options for five more 787-9 jets.
ANA is also in the launch customer group for Boeing's new 777X.
"ANA has grown into one of the leading airline groups in Asia by continually raising the bar for customer satisfaction and investing in the most technologically-advanced and capable fleet. We are truly honored that ANA HD is coming back to order more 787 planes with plans to boost their Dreamliner fleet to more than 100 jets," said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing, The Boeing Company. "We are confident that the unique capabilities of the 787-10 will continue to safely serve its passengers with best-in-class comfort and reliability."
The 787 Dreamliner is playing an important role in reducing carbon emissions around the world. Since the first 787 entered commercial service in 2011, the Dreamliner family has saved more than 48 billion pounds of fuel. In addition, the 787 fleet's noise footprint is 60 percent smaller than those of the airplanes it replaces.
ANA HD's new 787 jets will be powered by GE's GEnx-1B engines. The new engines will contribute to the 25 percent improved fuel efficiency per seat of the 787-10
