DOHA (Reuters) – Japan Airlines (JAL) plans to make a decision in a year or two on the replacement of its ageing fleet of Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co 767s and Embraer SA (NYSE:ERJ) regional jets, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

JAL will consider the 787 and Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) A321neo families as possible replacements for its 767 fleet and the A220 and E2 models for regional jets, said Ross Leggett, the airline’s head of route marketing, international relations and alliances.

“We have got a fairly large 787 fleet, so whether it is an A321 that could then be used quite well within Asia as well, we really haven’t looked at the full decision,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of an airline industry gathering in Doha.

JAL has 31 767s, 18 Embraer E-170s and 14 E-190s in its fleet, according to its website.

Leggett said the airline had returned domestic capacity to 100% of pre-pandemic levels in May, though demand was running at about 85% to 95% of 2019 levels.

In the international market, with China, South Korea and Taiwan effectively closed and Japan capping daily entry numbers, capacity is about 65% of pre-pandemic levels, he added.

Domestic demand at rival ANA Holdings is about 80% of pre-pandemic levels, said Junichiro Miyagawa, ANA executive vice president in charge of alliances and international affairs.

Morgan Stanley Has Continued Conviction on Rockwell Automation's Capex Cycle

By Sam Boughedda

Speaking about Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) after a meeting with its management, Morgan Stanley analyst Joshua Pokrzywinski said in a note to clients that they came away with “continued conviction in a generational capex cycle” that they expect to remain resilient despite a slowing macro environment and choppy supply chain.

“We expect orders to remain healthy as other verticals, both consumer and other short-cycle industrial markets, contend with demand destruction from rising rates and persistent inflation,” wrote Pokrzywinski.

The analyst, who has an Overweight rating and trimmed his price target to $260 (from $277) on the stock, added that at the same time, the pace of improvement on supply chains, particularly for semiconductors appears to be “at best a game of inches for ROK.”

As a result, Morgan Stanley is “reducing FY22 estimates, particularly the seasonal ramp in F4Q22 due to supply constraints.”

“Given the magnitude of the sell-off and persistent strength over the next 2-3 years, we see ROK risk/reward as favorable acknowledging consensus is high for the next 2 quarters.”

Rockwell Automation closed Monday’s session just 0.12% higher.
