Airbus is expected to soon announce that entry into service of its A350F will be delayed up to a year from its current 2026 target, Reuters news agency reports, quoting unnamed sources. Airbus was “struggling” to increase the production rate of the A350F beyond six aircraft a month due to delays in parts from suppliers, Reuters said.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has opened a campus and training centre at Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park.
Pratt & Whitney has added United Arab Emirates-headquartered engineering and leasing company, Sanad Group, to its global MRO provider network for its GTF geared turbofan engines.
Vietjet has selected Satair’s Integrated Material Services platform, which manages inventory of expendables and consumables for aircraft maintenance, to support its A320s and A330s.
