NEWS FROM DOWN UNDER:
Sydney - May 1st 2012
australia pacifics management is proud to announce a planned order of 10 new Boeing 787 aircraft, in order to add new international routes from Brisbane and Melbourne as well as replace the Boeing 777 aircraft on some routes to provide a complete new product to our customers. The Boeing 787 will be equipped with a whole different cabin, offering many more features to make the journey more comfortable. With the inauguration of the 787, australia pacific decided to implement a new fare system within its business class on longhaul routes. The so called business connected fares offer a better product for a better price. The plan is to make a comfortable journey more achievable for any customer and provide a better connection between the business metropolises in Australia, Asia and the USA. Therefore every flight newly operated from Brisbane or Melbourne will have the best connecting flights possible at its destination. Also the businnes connected fares include the possibility to book a hotel at a cheaper rate, have a free transfer to the hotel or the businnes meeting, stay at any INDEPENDENT Sky Alliance, INDEPENDENT Sky Alliance member airline or Australia Pacific businnes lounge at the airport and have a faster check in and boarding.
Voyager Arabia wird Boeing 787 Großkunde - Langstrecke wächst um weitere 9x Ziele in Australien, den USA sowie Lateinamerika

[/b]Beirut/Geneva - EN
Voyager Arabia becomes a major customer in Boeing’s 787 campaign. Today’s decision sees the Gulf Airline making a firm order for 10x exemplars of Boeing’s latest long-haul twin-jet and options landing for further 50x aircraft. The first 16x delivered aircraft will be operated on 9x new ultra-long-haul destinations. With Sydney, Sao Paulo, New York and Los Angeles, those include 4x destinations that had been served in the past by Voyager Arabia, but also 5x all-new destinations with Melbourne, Bogota, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Phoenix…
It is planned that further 787-Deliveries will subsequently replace the current Boeing 30x unit-strong 767-Fleet over the next couple of weeks to achieve further efficiency gains on Voyager Arabia’s long-haul business. The board emphasized on Wednesday: , The 787 has always been a very interesting aircraft for Voyager Arabia. Not only does it allow us to offer the latest long-haul product on the market to our customers, it also enables us to expand our route-work to those destinations that we previously weren’t able to offer due to the lack of suitable aircraft capacity. In the long-term, this will certainly benefit Beirut as a global hub position and foster new passenger streams on connecting flights thus enhancing the business model as a whole."

Beirut/Genf - DE
Voyager Arabia wird neuer Großkunde im 787 Programm von Boeing. Mit der heute getroffenen Entscheidung hat die Golf Airline 10x Exemplare des neuen Langstreckenjets fest bestellt, und bis zu 50x weitere Einheiten optioniert. Die ersten 16x ausgelieferten Einheiten werden das globale Streckennetz um 9x neue Ziele auf der Ultra-Langstrecke ergänzen. Mit Sydney, Sao Paulo, New York sowie Los Angeles kehren 4x bereits in der Vergangenheit bediente Destinationen in den Flugplan zurück. Dazu kommen mit Phoenix, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Bogota sowie Melbourne 5x gänzlich neue Strecken ins Voyager Programm.
Im Laufe der nächsten Wochen sollen weitere Einheiten der 787-Baureihe sukzessive die bestehenden 30x Einheiten der 767-Flotte ersetzen und so zu einer Effizienzsteigerung auf der Langstrecke beitragen.
Die Konzernspitze betonte am Mittwoch: ,Die 787 war für Voyager Arabia von Beginn an ein sehr interessantes Flugzeug. Wir können unseren Kunden damit nicht nur das fortschrittlichste Langstreckenprodukt am Markt bieten, sondern unser Netz um Strecken erweitern, die wir vorher mangels passenden Fluggerätes nicht rentabel anbieten konnten. Das wird das Drehkreuz Beirut langfristig stärken und neue Passagier -und Umsteigeströme generieren."
