為何西雅圖機場當局希望長榮航空使用787
Why Seattle Asked EVA Air To Change From A Boeing 777 To A 787 For Night
Flights
BY JOE KUNZLER
The Port of Seattle sat down with Simple Flying to discuss how airlines are
incentivized to reduce noise impacts.
SUMMARY
The Port of Seattle collaborated with EVA Air to change their late-night
flight to a quieter Boeing 787-10 instead of a Boeing 777 or Boeing 747-400.
The Fly Quiet Awards incentivize airlines to use quieter aircraft and adhere
to noise abatement procedures, with Air Canada, Frontier Airlines, and Alaska
Airlines winning 2023 awards.
The Port of Seattle takes various actions to reduce noise impact, including
limiting night take-offs from the runway closest to the community and
encouraging airlines to use continuous taxi to take-offs and limit reverse
thrust.
In a second half of reporting, Simple Flying explores how Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport (SEA), and its operator, the Port of Seattle, are
working with airlines to be a quieter neighbor. The Port works with airlines
to encourage airlines to use quieter aircraft flying in and out of SEA, among
other things.
Making that 02:10 take-off quieter
Recently, the authorities worked with EVA Air on their 02:10 flight from
Seattle to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE). Using its noise
monitoring program, the Port reached out to EVA Air about their late-night
performance. This led to the carrier changing the aircraft serving the early
evening arrival and late-night departure from the Boeing 777, which was
previously served by the 747, to the much quieter 787-10.
The Port of Seattle’s Noise Program Manager, Thomas Fagerstrom, shared with
Simple Flying,
Our late night noise limitation program, pointed out that EVA Airways, for
example, had the most noise level exceedances during our overnight hours from
midnight to five.
When asked about EVA Air's response and request to change aircraft,
Fagerstrom said, “They really were great” in collaboration. Fagerstrom did
note that FedEx is also making a fleet upgrade, retiring their MD-11s.
[心得]
簡單說,就是深夜的噪音管制
印象中,先前已有媒體提及這事.
不過,這應該也不影響到華航/星宇 復航/開航 西雅圖的計畫.
華航是否可能會於2024年復航西雅圖,應該是取決於A350 只租1架 or 2架?
星宇的A350交機若沒太延誤的話,應該2024/Q2~Q3 有望開航西雅圖.
另外, Simply Flying 也簡單列舉現在78X Top 5最長航線
https://simpleflying.com/five-longest-boeing-787-10-routes-september-2023/
1. ORD-HND (UA)
2. SEA-TPE (BR)
3. EWR-TLV (UA)
4. AMS-LAX (KLM)
5. LAX-HND (UA)
PS-長榮於2023/Winter 又將西雅圖恢復至每周10班. 應該還是78X 居多. 畢竟今年應該
不會有(三艙等)的789 進來.
