boeing and airbus are competing to get orders in the global market. ana's rival japan airlines has announced a plan to buy 56 of the airbus a 350 from 2019. the people who run tokyo's two international airports are getting ready for change. this weekend the more central hanada airport will enhance its international airport and the larger norita airport is expanding to look for passengers looking for cheap flights. businesses are scrambling to catch up. nhk world's car roek co-ish bish she tells us why. >> reporter: at hanada 110 planes arrive from or depart for foreign countries each day. this is about one-tenth of the number of its domestic flights. 40% of its international flights are late at night or early in the morning. but from sunday the number of international flights it handles will jump by 50%. more flights between tokyo and southeast asia or europe will be scheduled during the daytime. with these changes, domestic airlines are rethinking how they work with travel agencies as hanada links tokyo with regions across japan, they want the agenci

the airbus a-330, like boeing's 777 in last weekend's crash, has a strong safety record. >> airbus is proud of the fact, they like to say, that their plane is pilotproof. >> reporter: that's the good news. here is the bad news. is it true that on any given flight the pilots are at the controls only three minutes? >> yes. >> a minute 30 on takeoff and a minute 30 on landing? >> that's about right. >> reporter: it's a cold fact of modern aviation. planes pretty much fly themselves. while it's not known what happened to malaysia airlines 370, the story of flight 447 ignited a firestorm of controversy about pilot training in this new era of automated flight. >> we're moving towards automated operations where the pilot isn't even permitted to fly. >> because of this sophistication and the ability of airplanes to fly themselves, they don't have as much opportunity to actually fly the airplane. >> reporter: that would have fatal consequences for the final flight of air france 447. at 10:00 p.m. it is still business as usual on that flight. the crew serves dinner. and some passengers watch an

>> well, i have to say, in this case, boeing and, indeed, airbus, these two main, big manufacturers, they're very clever. they've produced aircraft which do not require a huge amount of technical skill to operate. they are very, very cleverly designed. and in fact, now you can learn to fly these aircraft purely in a simulator. it's called zero flight time. and they are fabulous. i have no doubt that, especially the captain, who had enormous experience, 18,000 hours, had his own simulator, he had a complex electronic system at home, would have been, you know, clued up. and i have no doubt about that. you know, it is a bit disconcerting that they don't have the full package of inflight data being sent back to the main base. i understand they have to pay extra for that and they didn't do so, and that clearly should not be the case with, you know, a big, modern company like malaysian air. > it's like the gps tracking and the ability to keep track of that flight moment by moment, as opposed to just relying on sort of the physical reaching out to let them know where they are. alastair rose

boeing's rival airbus is reportedly close to winning a chinese order for passenger jets. according to royaleuters the de woulder for at least 150 planes including long-haul ac 30 ss worth about 20 billion in total. the country is expected to buy more ac 30s as talks advance to open airbus's second major factory in china. >>> a chinese real estate firm may be on the verge of bankruptcy and is expected to default now on millions in debt. the company's problems come to light less than two weeks after the country saw its first corporate bond default ever, which we've been reporting on. as eunice yoon tells us, this time the company is in a key sector of china's economy, triggering fears of a deepening crisis. >> reporter: the markets here were rattled by news that china facing another default. a property developer in eastern china borrowed $400 million from several banks and raised the rest from retail investors. now it says it can't pay anyone back. a different time this case might not get attention. it does come when jitters are ripe about the chinese economy and health of

he's new to the airbus. for the past eight years, he's flown a boeing 737. >> well, the takeoff was uneventful. it was a nice day. it was cold. and this was only my second trip on the airplane. so i was actually hand-flying the airplane to get used to it. and about 3,000 feet we, you know, flew into the birds. >> the plane has been in the air less than three minutes when it collides with a flock of canada geese, crippling both engines. >> this is cactus 1539. hit birds, we lost thrust in both engines. we're turning back towards laguardia. >> okay, yeah, you need to return to la guardia. turn left heading of 220. tower stop your departures. we got an emergency returning. >> captain chesley sully sullenberger takes control of the airplane from his copilot with two simple words.

bowing in america, airbus in europe, and that's it. that's wrong.re's a third company that looks like it could be ready to break into this business in a big way. couldn't come at a better time. i'm talking about bombardier, a canadian company that's the world number three maker of planes, mostly business jets. if you've ever coveted a lear jet that's them. as well as being the number one maker of trains. business jet division is seeing terrific growth. c series, bombardier's jetliner, designed to compete with smaller planes from boeing and airbus in mid-size marketed throughout the world. the company got their third test version up in the air. but the c-series expected to hit the market sometime next year. this plane delivers the lowest operating costs in its class. significant fuel burn advantage over the competition. that is a big deal. it's why we've already had 447 orders for these babies as of the beginning of the month. take a look at this sorry. pierre beaudoin, the president and ceo, does not trade in america. find out more about how the com
