Emirates expansion
EMIRATES TO FLY TO NEW ZEALAND FROM AUGUST 1
DUBAI, 9 June 2003 - Emirates' Chairman, HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum has announced that the airline will start services between Dubai and Auckland, New Zealand on August 1.
From that date, Emirates' daily flights to Sydney and Melbourne will be extended on to Auckland providing a total of 14 flights weekly in each direction.
Emirates daily flights to Brisbane, scheduled to start October 26, will also be extended to Auckland, increasing Emirates' services across the Tasman Sea to 21 weekly. The airline has full traffic rights between Auckland and all three Australian gateways.
Sheikh Ahmed said: "The UAE and New Zealand have enjoyed an air services agreement for some years. These new services follow the recent agreement on traffic rights between the governments of Australia and the UAE, which allows Emirates to operate with full traffic rights from all points in Australia. Our flights offer Australian and New Zealand passengers a greater choice of carrier across the Tasman Sea. I am grateful to the Australian Government for the opportunity this affords us to extend trade and leisure travel opportunities in this increasingly popular region of the world."
Sheikh Ahmed added: "When Emirates introduces non-stop flights to Sydney on October 26, we will offer an unrivalled one-stop service between Dubai and New Zealand."
Emirates, is based in Dubai, a total open skies environment. The airline has never received protection or financial subsidy from the Dubai Government. Yet, it is not only among the world’s fastest-growing airlines, it is also one of the world's five most profitable.
The new services will delight the New Zealand community in the UAE, increase trade between the two countries and open up a stunningly beautiful and extremely safe destination for leisure travellers from the Middle East.
They will also offer passengers to Auckland a choice of departure times from Dubai, varying with the three different gateways used. The flights will be operated with a Boeing 777-300 aircraft in three-class configuration offering 18 First, 42 Business and 320 Economy seats plus cargo capacity of 17 to 20 tonnes.
Emirates flights schedules are as follows, with all times given being local.

Emirates Boosts Airbus with $12 bln Order
Monday June 16, 9:39 am ET
By Noah Barkin and Jason Neely
LE BOURGET, France (Reuters) - European plane maker Airbus SAS trumped arch-rival Boeing Co on Monday, unveiling a record $12.5 billion order for 41 wide-body jets from Dubai-based airline Emirates.
Taking advantage of an airline industry crisis to lock in discount rates, state-owned Emirates also announced plans to lease 26 Boeing 777 planes.
None of those represent new orders for the Chicago-based aircraft maker, whose order book for the year still stands at 36, compared to 197 for Airbus.
The Airbus deal includes the purchase of 21 A380 superjumbos and makes Emirates by far the largest customer for the huge 555-seater that airlines will begin operating from 2006.
Airbus said the deal, which brings its firm A380 backlog to 116, represented its largest wide-body order ever by number of planes and by dollar value.
The $12.5 billion price tag is based on "future value" catalog prices, Airbus said, though aircraft manufacturers routinely offer hefty discounts.
The deal comes amid an unprecedented downturn in the civil aerospace market that has sent top U.S. airlines US Airways and United Airlines into bankruptcy.
Emirates airline, a unit of Emirates Group, has defied the crisis, posting a 94-percent rise in profit in its financial year ended March 31.
"We are very confident that the traffic growth is there," Emirates Chairman Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum told reporters.
A380 BACKLOG SWELLS
The order is a boon to Airbus, which expects its order backlog for the A380 to swell to 124 once pending contracts are signed with Malaysia Airline System and Qatar Airways, Airbus said in a statement.
In addition to the 21 superjumbos, Emirates agreed to purchase two A340-500 and 18 A340-600 planes from Airbus.
Britain's Rolls-Royce will supply the engines for those 20 jets in a deal valued at $900 million. Emirates did not announce its choice of engines for the A380s.
It is also leasing an additional two A340-600s and two A380 superjumbos from lessor ILFC, a unit of American International Group. That means Emirates, which already had an outstanding order for 21 A380s, is now due to receive a total of 45 of the double-decker giants.
Airbus advertises the superjumbo as a luxury liner replete with lounges, duty-free shops, bars and casinos. But Emirates said its plans for the jet were more conservative.
"There won't be gymnasiums and bars," Emirates spokesman David Wilson said. "These will be planes to carry passengers, not casinos."
Airbus said deliveries of the A340-500 planes would begin at the end of 2004, those of the A340-600s in June 2007 and the A380s in the spring of 2009.
Emirates is also taking the 26 Boeing planes directly from leasing firms ILFC and GECAS. Of those 26, Boeing has already sold 22 to the two lessors. The remaining four could turn into new orders for the plane maker at a later date.
Analysts have said Emirates is in a powerful position to get planes at cheap prices as one of the few carriers placing big orders during the industry crisis.
"They are making a very smart move in ordering now," Alex Khatibi, a vice president at Los Angeles-based ILFC, told Reuters. "They are locking in today's market rates."

Emirates not playing around...
EMIRATES PLACES BIGGEST AIRCRAFT ORDER IN HISTORY
Dubai-based airline gives Boeing and Airbus $19 billion in orders at
Paris Air Show
DUBAI, 16th June, 2003: At the Paris Air Show today, Emirates, the Dubai-based international airline, announced that it has placed the biggest order in civil aviation history -- worth $19 billion (approx. 70 billion Dirhams).
The fast-growing carrier confirmed purchase orders for 21 more Airbus A380-800s, and leasing orders for two A380-800s. The additional 23 aircraft bring Emirates’ total order for the giant double-deck jetliner to 45, the most ordered by any airline.
At the same time, Emirates announced operating lease orders for 26 Boeing 777-300ERs, 14 from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) and 12 from the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), and powered by General Electric GE90-115B engines.
They will provide much-needed extra capacity on existing routes and help it continue to expand its network, which has already risen to 66 cities in 46 countries since services started in 1985.
Emirates also announced orders for more four-engined A340s, purchasing two more ultra-long-range A340-500 and 18 of the larger A340-600 Higher Gross Weight aircraft, as well as leasing two A340-600s from ILFC, the International Lease Finance Corporation. This makes Emirates the launch customer for the A340-600 HGW.
The confirmed orders announced in Paris, along with those revealed at the Dubai Air Show two years ago, bring Emirates’ current total order book to $26 billion.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, the Chairman of Emirates, said: "We need many more aircraft to continue our plans to become a truly global airline, and had already announced a major aircraft order at the 2001 Dubai International Air Show.
“Now we are placing more multi-billion dollar orders, and have chosen A380s, A340s and 777s to meet exceptionally strong demand from passengers and cargo customers. We will fund them from our own reserves, from banks and institutional investors, and through operating leases."
The extra Airbus A380 orders cover four versions: a 533-seat three-class aircraft; a 653-seat two-class aircraft; a 500-seater able to fly non-stop from Dubai to Australia; and two freighters. They enter service from 2006. Deliveries of A340-500 start this year and of A340-600s from June 2007.
Airbus Chief Executive Officer Noël Forgeard said: “Emirates has clearly shown its ability to turn vision into reality, as its growth and success over almost two decades has shown. We are pleased and proud that the A340 and A380 families have again been chosen to play a key role in its future.”
The move to acquire 26 new 777s follows Emirates’ experience with its current fleet of 20. Sheikh Ahmed said: “They have proved extremely popular with passengers, cargo customers and crew, and the new Extended Range version will provide the reliability and extra capacity which our forecasts show we need on trunk routes in years to come.
“By using operating leases we avoid burdening ourselves with large amounts of debt, and here we are delighted to be working with the two major aviation leasing companies GECAS and ILFC.”
Alan Mulally, President and CEO, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said: “We are thrilled with this selection of our Boeing 777-300ER by Emirates, one of the world’s premier airlines. This is a great example of a broad, industry solution that expands the customer base of our longer-range 777s in a very fast-growing region of the world.”
The expanded order book will increase Emirates’ fleet to 125 aircraft by 2012, as part of long-term plans to serve many new countries. The new jets will also boost flights on existing routes to Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
Emirates’ emergence as a global brand reflects Dubai’s vision to become the leading aviation hub of the 21st century. By 2010 Emirates expects to carry 29 million people and 1.5 million tonnes of cargo a year, one reason why it is now the world’s biggest buyer of new aircraft.

Licenses, Certificates & Other Acronyms
Just so there is no confusion here and as someone earlier pointed out, there is NO such certificate with the actual words printed on it "ICAO ATPL"!
ICAO is indeed, the International Civil Aviation Organisation headquartered in Montreal, Canada & is the international governining boby for civil aviation matters. Most Western states are signatories to ICAO (bit like the UN, if you will), so when a job specifies "ICAO" ATPL what they mean is ANY license which comes under their signatory auspices such as FAA/MOT/CAA/JAR etc. In other words, it's wide open to all bidders.
Virtually the whole world is covered by ICAO.
Now if it said "only JAA/JAR licensed crew...", well that's a whole different deal. It's all in the terminology.
Hope this unravels some of the earlier confusion.
From someone who knows from first hand experience!!
LOL

FAA ATP
IAA ATPL
CAA ATPL
& I guess "ICAO ATPL"

I will add to the previous.
An FAA ATP is an ICAO recognized ATPL, IF, you meet the experience requirement.
1.) ICAO- only 50% of SIC time counts towards Total Time.
2.)ICAO- only 1 pilot may log PIC in 1 airplane. ie, you cannot have dual recieved and PIC both logged for a flight. ie FAA CPL training.
The FAA differs from both these requirements. So one could have an FAA ATP, but not be eligible for an ICAO recognized ATPL.
Cheers
