OpenSkies suspends Washington service

OpenSkies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Airways that operates all-business class services from Paris Orly to the US, has suspended its Washington Dulles services, according to the Washington Business Journal. The airline launched the route in 2010. OpenSkies continues to operate Paris Orly-Newark service.

"The economic situation with business travel continues to be difficult, particularly on the trans-Atlantic market with all the capacity being flown between the US and Paris," said OpenSkies' commercial and marketing director David Erich. "If we sense that the economic or competitive situation changes, we could be looking at coming back," he said. OpenSkies previously suspended flights to New York JFK, as well as flights from Amsterdam.

• British Airways/IAG with bmi looks to re-establish world leadership – and long term survival
  10-Jan-2012

  It can be a fine line between survival and success, just as the blowtorch of a threatened existence provides a powerful motive to pursue ambitious goals.

  Last month’s International Airlines Group (IAG)/British Airways move on bmi is only one more piece in the strategic kaleidoscope opening out in front of the Group Chairman, Willie Walsh. The world is his oyster at present. Answering a question following the bmi purchase announcement, Mr Walsh said that despite the uncertain economic environment that Europe’s politicians have created, this was a time of opportunity. His airline is well placed now to capitalise and, as bad news for others spells bargains in the marketplace, the time could well be ripe. In the process, London Heathrow Airport is firmly in the spotlight as Virgin Atlantic also remains a sale possibility. Yet for BA and all of its major rivals, the elephant in the room remains how to service shorthaul network connections profitably.

• Qantas in a changing world: quantifies refocused international strategy and limits capital exposure
  14-May-2012

  Qantas' withdrawal from a series of international routes promises the single largest benefit to its loss-making international division, delivering AUD100-120 million (USD101-122 million) in annual benefits, with the majority to be realised in FY2013. But with the international division reporting a loss of AUD216 million (USD219 million) in FY2012, Qantas will continue to operate a number of unprofitable routes, primarily to Europe and Asia.

  Qantas expects to reduce those losses through the reconfiguration of its Boeing 747-400 and A380 fleets, which when complete towards the second half of FY2014 will deliver AUD70-90 million (USD71-91 million) of benefits annually. Qantas previously put those retrofit changes at a cost of AUD400 million (USD406 million). They include reconfiguring nine 747-400s to have no first class while 12 A380s have a reduced number of business class seats but more economy and premium economy seats.
