Boeing Company, the aircraft-manufacturing giant based in Chicago, Illinois, the United States, has described China as the “fastest-growing aviation market in the world.”

American Airlines, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the United States, plans to buy as many as 100 new, long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

The ongoing strike by machinists of Boeing Company has forced Virgin Blue to put off the launch of its V Australia trans-Pacific service, which was planned for December 15, 2008.

A group of major airlines and Boeing Company, the aircraft manufacturer, have joined hands to accelerate the development of new, sustainable aviation fuels.

Emirates Airline has taken delivery of two Boeing 777 aircraft and the arrival of both long-range models, a Boeing 777-200LR and 777-300ER, has raised Emirates’ all-wide bodied passenger fleet to 111 aircraft.

FlyDubai, the new low cost airline from Dubai , has placed an order for 54 Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft from Boeing. The order is valued at approximated US$4 billion and is termed as the biggest single order by a Gulf-based low cost carrier for the Boeing aircraft.

Japan Airlines Corporation is planning to fly Asia’s first commercial jet flight powered by second-generation biofuel.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Boeing Company’s jetliner business division, says the aircraft-manufacturing giant will be able to survive the current crisis arising out of the prohibitive prices of aviation fuel.

The ambitious plans of Air Canada to renew its fleet has run into rough weather with aircraft maker Boeing Company, based in Chicago, the United States, saying that it will deliver the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to the airline at least 2 years later than originally promised.

The phenomenal rise in the prices of fuel is sweeping each and every sector of the aviation, the aircraft-making companies included. Airlines are reining in spending as they face losses that may total $40 billion in 2008.
