Official Zigma Response - Cluckerson Inc Airlines Group RFP
 
Thank you for your interest in Zigma. Here is your proposed order:

• 18 + 8 A400w series aircraft, two class config (~$300M USD)
• 8 + 4 A391w series aircraft (~$300M USD)
• 21 A221n series aircraft (~$230M USD)
• 12 V151ER series aircraft (~$95M USD)
• 4 Family 1100ER series aircraft (~$15M USD)

This comes to a total of 63 firm orders with 12 additional options, a market valuation of approximately $17.4 billion USD. We are willing to offer you your entire order for $15.2 billion USD, which includes complementary training, maintenance, and upgrade support for 3 years post-manufacturing.
 
Zigma would like to note that the A400w series has been deprecated in anticipation of ending manufacturing within the next five years. Regardless of manufacturing status, your aircraft will continue to be supported throughout the duration of your fleets' lifespan. If you would like to consider an alternative aircraft, we recommend the A391w series.
 
Concerning your interest in the G series aircraft, we will need more specifics about what your goals are. How many passengers do you need to seat? What conditions will the aircraft encounter? What is the target range (beyond 3000nm)? Preliminary analysis indicates that we can reconfigure the G81LR aircraft to reach 2750nm by reducing the passenger load to 50max, but further design and certifications will be required to go beyond those specs.
 
We look forward to working together to make your birds come to life.

Cluckerson Inc has announced the conversion of its 8 A400W options into the A391 alternative and confirms the rest of the $15.2b order.

FIRST FLIGHT OF THE ISLANDER 7A IS A SUCCESS!

 

At last, after several months of delays, Islander's newest baby is airborne! This marks the start of the Islander 7's flight test campaign that will last up to 1 and a half years.

 

Islander Aerospace, known for manufacturing spacecraft, light aircraft and military aircraft has high hopes of entering the mainstream commercial aircraft market. The islander 7 is their answer to the growing demand for passenger travel. Demand is high for the large narrowbody segment as many economies are booming in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Start-up airlines as well as established ones are demanding more and more aircraft to serve routes that never were profitable in the past.

 

Islander offers a family of aircraft with top-notch performance and economics to allow airlines reach further than before. The first aircraft in the family, which first flew today, is the Islander 7A. Seating up to 238 persons in single class configuration and with the range of 10,000km, no other aircraft matches its capability of range and capacity. It is a true route opener as it can link two small cities that are further apart profitably giving airlines more options to where they want to fly to. The second aircraft in the family which will take flight is the Islander 7B. It will be a stretch of the 7A with slightly decreased range. Seating up to 298 passengers and capable of flying up to 8,500km, it offers an unbeatable per-seat costs.

Dear Mr. Fabulously Irish,

 

The Nikel Aircraft Company is pleased with your order for 100 RJN300's, in a max. 140Y configuration. At list prices, the aircraft order is worth a staggering $4.4bn, but we are prepared to negotiate with you for a lower price. 

 

Thank you!

[Hake.]

Nikel,
$4.4bn is much too high. We were aiming for much lower than this. We suggest $3bn, with no training required, along with anything else possible to cut costs. Do not rule out replacing pilots seats with stools. One more thing, we are looking into 72 Economy Plus seats and 68 Standing Class spaces. Would this add costs? Windows aren't necessary, only 1 toilet is.needed.

Pinewood Airlines expresses an interest in ordering a mix of 15 RJN-200 and 15 RJN-300 aircraft, with options for 15 more of each.
