Lagardère, the French conglom-erate, announced it would sell its 7.4% stake in EADS by July. The news came after the group re-leased its full-year results, which saw a 14% drop in ebit to €358m. Lagardère boss Arnaud Lagardère will quit his post as EADS chair in March, to be replaced by Denis Ranque, former head of defense electronics group Thales. The sale is part of a plan to reduce direct and indirect control over EADS of the French and German goverments.

Bombardier adds seats to CSeries to target Airbus, Boeing First completed aircraft unveiled as pressure mounts on order bookBombardier, the Montreal-based airframer, stepped up pressure on Airbus and Boeing as it unveiled its first completed CSeries aircraft with the announcement that it would increase the number of seats to 160.

The CS300 version of the CSeries, the first all-new narrowbody jetliner to take to the skies since 1987, will offer an extra-capacity ver-sion in a move designed to win order from budget carriers. It will compete directly with Airbus’ A319 and the Boe-ing 737-800, which are popular among low-cost airlines.

The move to 160 seats from the original plan for a maximum of 145 was met with approval from customers and analysts alike. Air Baltic, which has 10 CS300s on order, said it would change some of its orders to the larger version. Meanwhile, industry analyst Ad-dison Schonland, told The Globe and Mail that a ‘stretch version’ of the CS300 is ‘right in the sweet

test flight in June

Bombardier

Boeing’s 737 MAX have posted combined orders of 3000.

The aircraft’s first flight is sched-uled for the end of June, six

months later than planned. Airline customers have been wary of ordering untried aircraft, a decision made all the more relevant in view of the problems dogging Airbus and Boeing’s all-new widebody aircraft.

Airbus A380 ‘superjumbo’ and Boeing’s all-composite

787 Dreamliner were both three years overdue. Both have been troubled by early in-service issues, with the 787 now grounded for nearly two months because of fires in the lithium batteries on some planes.

Any upswing in orders for the CSeries in the 160-seat version will almost certainly be met with a determined response by Airbus and Boeing in the shape of increased discounting, sub-sidized lease terms and other incentives.

“What they did today was fire a shot across the bow of the big-ger guys,” added Schonland.

The first CSeries jet, the smaller CS100, is due for delivery to its first customers by the middle of 2014, while the larger CS300 will follow by the end of 2014.

DVB posts consolidated net income before taxes and IAS 39 of €157.2m

DVB increased total income before allowance for credit losses by 5.1%, to €411.9m (previous year: €391.9m). Total income after allowance for credit losses amounted to €341.2m, which corresponds to a rise of 2.6%. Net interest income after allowance for credit losses declined by 20.0%, to €159.3m (2011: €199.1m) in spite of successful new business origination; the decline was attributable to higher risk costs. Allowance for credit losses amounted to €-70.7m (2011: €-59.2m). Net fee and commission income, which largely consists of commissions from lending business, asset management and advisory services, grew by 12.5%, from €116.2m to a record high of €130.7m. Net other operating income/expenses increased from €17.3m to €42.7m. In June 2012, DVB sold a 60% stake in TES Holdings Ltd, the British aero engine specialist, to two renowned Japanese investors. The two new partners – Mitsubishi Corporation, and Development Bank of Japan, Inc. – acquired 35% and 25%, respectively. DVB remains the largest shareholder, with a share of 40%. General administrative expenses were down 2.9%, to €.0 million, mainly due to the deconsolidation of TES. Staff expenses of €101.5m were down 6.9% year-on-year (2011: €109.0m), whilst at €77.9m, non-staff expenses were up 3.0% (2011: €75.6m). Consolidated net income before IAS 39 and taxes rose by 9.7%, from €143.3m to €157.2m.

Universal Avionics recently completed the required testing to successfully approve its Radio Control Unit (RCU) for helicopter in-stallation. The RCU is a mature product, and has successfully been installed in 28 fixed wing aircraft platforms. Now, the unit is ap-proved for helicopter-specific vibration pro-files, signifying a new installation platform for the product. The RCU allows helicopter operators to consolidate multiple radio con-trol heads with a single control, providing savings in space and weight while increasing operational efficiency. Additionally, the RCU provides radio control via Universal’s Flight Management System (FMS) with suggested frequencies for enroute, terminal and ap-proach phases of flight.
