AIR TRANSPORT tionally large show presence. Unusually, howev er, it will have only one aircraft present — and that only in the static park. Avro's re-integration into BAe's corporate Paris exhibit, compared to its more independent approach last time, itself tells a story. The stand-alone status was driven by die hope of announcing die planned Taiwan Aerospace tie-up at me show — now merely a piece of corporate history. That said, die static aircraft represents itself a more dian usually significant piece of busi ness. It will be the sevendi RJ85 delivered in the colours of Lufthansa — die first major flag car rier to sign for die type. Avro is likely to have further developments to announce at die show as well. The RJ Avroliner series' performance is being tweaked, and it has a couple of repeat orders imminent. Furthermore, either Avro or its prime rival, Daimler-Benz Aerospace sub sidiary Fokker, could be the beneficiary of a much more important piece of news. The Belgian flag carrier Sabena is nearing a decision on a major regional-jet purchase, and could finish its process in time for Paris. The set tling of this contract will come close behind Fokker's victory at Alitalia. Fokker has yet to deliver any of the Fokker 70s against that order: it will, however, take to the show one of two of the type acquired by Mesa Airlines, but which will serve in the colours of America West. The aircraft will be joined in die static park by an Air ATR 42s will feature in ATR's hefty line-up at the show — the first since its tie-tip with Avro UK Fokker 50. Once again, the manufacturer will be pushing corporate and military variants of its basic airliners, but it says: "Our main mes sage is to show that, despite the years of reces sion, Fokker aircraft have done remarkably well in terms of market share, although the numbers are much lower of course than everyone was used to in the 1980s." Fokker's parent Daimler-Benz Aerospace (DASA) is, of course, present with its Dornier 328-110 in the flying display. The -110 features additional range, weight and payload compared with the basic model. After a difficult start, the programme for the 328 series is looking healthi er today, with a solid, but undramatic, 76 firm orders. It has made important in-roads in the USA and, two months ago, won an intriguing order in India from Vif Airways. The aircraft at the show, however, will be the test 328-110 in DASAk own colours. In its role as an Airbus con sortium-member, DASA is also likely to be pressed on the possibilities of future products for final assembly at Hamburg, particularly since Airbus has shied away from the so-called A322.
