Airbus says A320neo delivery goal is tough but within reach
Bregier said Pratt & Whitney, whose industrial problems have delayed deliveries of jets at Airbus plants, was testing re-designed parts for its engines and expected to start delivering the improved versions at the end of this year.
Toulouse - Muslimchronicle
Airbus planemaking chief Fabrice Bregier said the company still expects to deliver “around 200” A320neo aircraft in 2017, but added that reaching this existing target would be “tough” in the wake of delayed engine deliveries.
Bregier said Pratt & Whitney, whose industrial problems have delayed deliveries of jets at Airbus plants, was testing re-designed parts for its engines and expected to start delivering the improved versions at the end of this year.
Bregier was speaking to reporters after the maiden take-off of the A330neo, an upgraded version of the company’s most profitable wide-body jet that is aimed at challenging the latest version of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner.
Airbus has decided to improve the plane’s maximum take-off weight by around 4 percent to 251 tons so that the A330neo can serve longer routes like Kuala Lumpur to London, he added.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
