雖然這是針對加拿大的航空公司進行分析，但目前在全世界的銷售情況來看， ATR72確實是賣得嚇嚇叫，所以容小的我在此工商服務一下吧(不會因廣告文被劣退吧)XD 以下簡單整理一下重點。 1.WestJet Airlines想買40架渦輪螺旋槳飛機，以投入中短程的航線。 2.加拿大的民航分析師認為，相較於DHC-8-Q400，ATR-72-600是理想的機種。 3.ATR-72-600售價為$23-million (U.S.)，Q400則是$30-million (U.S.)。 4.ATR-72-600的燃油效率亦較Q400佳。 5.WestJet想將這批飛機，投入1小時左右的航線，這剛好是ATR-72-600的能力範圍。 6.Q400的巡航速度為667 km/h，ATR-72-600則只有510 km/h。 7.ATR公司很有信心，ATR-72-600絕對是WestJet的最佳選擇。 8.ATR表示，Q400的操作成本高過ATR-72-600兩成，以40架飛機及投入300 nm的航線來計算，ATR-72-600每年可省下$30-million。 9.但龐巴迪表示，Q400絕對是以Calgary為基地的WestJet的最佳選擇。 10.因為Q400有強有力的發動機，以及更長的航程。 11.而且若航空公司想省錢的話，可以將Q400飛慢一點。 12.ATR-72-600也不是沒有缺點，其爬升速率較差，單發動機巡航能力也不若Q400。 Euro rival’s plane better than Bombardier’s Q400 on short haul: expert BRENT JANG TRANSPORTATION REPORTER Published Thursday, Apr. 19, 2012 6:31PM EDT Last updated Thursday, Apr. 19, 2012 7:51PM EDT A leading aviation analyst has declared a European-built turboprop to be superior on short-haul flights over its Canadian rival, resulting in a surprising vote of confidence for the foreign aircraft maker’s bid for a 40-plane contract with WestJet Airlines Ltd. (WJA-T14.140.261.87%) The French-Italian ATR 72-600 is the ideal fit for WestJet because it’s more fuel efficient than Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B-T4.03-0.02-0.49%)’s Q400, said Ben Cherniavsky, a Vancouver-based analyst with Raymond James Ltd. “According to our detailed calculations, the ATR fleet delivers superior returns,” he said in a research report Thursday. The ATR 72-600 – with a list price at $23-million (U.S.), compared with the Q400 at $30-million – stands out on shorter routes that WestJet will be considering for its new regional subsidiary, Mr. Cherniavsky said. “Our analysis reveals that there are relatively few markets in Canada where the speed of the Q400 makes a material enough difference to offset its higher costs.” WestJet’s final decision will come down to which routes to focus on and, if it places the highest priority on scheduling flights that take less than an hour, the ATR 72-600 has an edge, he said. The Q400, assembled at Bombardier’s Downsview plant in Toronto, has a maximum cruising speed of 667 kilometres an hour, compared with the ATR 72-600 ’s top speed of 510 km an hour. ATR spokesman David Vargas said in a statement from France that he’s confident that WestJet will “certainly select the aircraft best suited for the mission and the financial return,” and the European turboprop is the logical choice for an airline seeking “significantly better results.” European aerospace giant EADS co-owns ATR with Italy’s Alenia Aermacchi. “ ATR 72s feature a clear advantage to airlines. Cash operating costs per trip of a Q400 are more than 20 per cent higher than the costs of the ATR. When comparing a fleet of 40 aircraft during one year on a typical 300 nautical mile route, the use of ATRs instead of Q400s may represent savings of some $30-million,” Mr. Vargas said. But Philippe Poutissou, vice-president of marketing at Montreal-based Bombardier’s aerospace division, said the Q400 is the right turboprop for Calgary-based WestJet because the plane is more powerful and has a longer range, as well as the capability to reduce speed when necessary to conserve on fuel. “The Q400 is an aircraft that delivers flexibility. So if you need it to be a slower and extremely efficient aircraft, you can fly it that way,” Mr. Poutissou said. “When you look at an investment in an aircraft, you need to look at it over many years.” Mr. Cherniavsky noted that while he prefers the smaller-sized ATR 72-600, “ both scenarios generate a positive outcome for WestJet as a whole.” One major strike against the foreign plane, however, is its “inferior climbing performance and single-engine cruising capabilities – the altitude at which the plane can fly in case of an engine failure,” he said. WestJet plans to launch its low-cost regional arm by the end of 2013, hoping to erode Air Canada’s strength on the country’s regional routes. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/euro-rivals-plane-better-than- bombardiers-q400-on-short-haul-expert-says/article2408168/ 我這麼常搭華信航空，華信是不是也該買幾架ATR72了(大誤) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.127.14.29
