Viable business models continue to evade US regional airlines
13-Mar-2012Consolidation in the US regional airline industry has failed to mirror the success achieved by the country’s network carriers after the latest round of mergers were completed between Delta-Northwest and United-Continental. The tie-ups in the regional sector have only intensified cost pressures at the consolidating carriers, which have left them searching for a viable long-term business model. In the short term, some of those airlines are attempting to work with their major partners to ease the cost inflation, but it is far from certain if legacy airlines intend to show any sympathy to their feeder partners.
The two largest US regional operators, SkyWest and Republic Airways Holdings, bled a combined USD150 million in losses in 2011 as they endured pain from their attempts to stabilise their business in an uncertain regional marketplace. SkyWest faced a reality check in meeting financial milestones it aimed to achieve through its acquisition of ExpressJet while Republic spent the majority of 2011 wringing USD120 million of costs from its low-cost subsidiary Frontier Airlines. Pinnacle Airlines, in the midst of its own internal restructuring, has pushed back the release of its 2011 financial results.

US carriers face sagging domestic demand in 2012 before seeing a rebound next year
09-Mar-2012US carriers should brace for a slight dip in domestic demand this year as the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that traffic on mainline carriers will fall by 0.4%. The agency believes uneasiness over the country’s sluggish economic recovery will dampen demand after traffic grew at a healthy 3.4% clip in 2011. But trends are expected to begin improving next year, with the FAA forecasting domestic traffic growth at an annual 2.7% rate throughout its 20-year forecast period.
The FAA expects regional growth to outpace mainline growth as regional carriers operate fewer sub-50 seat aircraft in favour of aircraft with 70-90 seats. The FAA sees the average US regional aircraft growing from 56.4 seats in 2011 to 56.9 in 2012 and then to 66.4 in 2032. It projects 70 to 90-seat aircraft to grow 1.7% annually through 2032 from a fleet of 1707 in 2011 to 2416. Meanwhile the FAA calculates that the US commercial fleet has contracted slightly faster during the present downturn that commenced in 2007 (552 aircraft shed) compared to the 2000-2003 downturn (262 aircraft shed).
