Changes - and perhaps conflict - ahead for Austrian Airlines as it seeks a return to profitability

16-Jan-12 9:36 AM

Austrian Airlines is facing a testing period after posting operating losses of well over EUR100 million (USD129 million) over the past two years. The carrier, under the leadership of new CEO Jaan Albrecht, is aiming to return to profitability in 2012 but significant changes will have to occur for this to become a reality. Austrian has stated that it suffers from multiple historical structural disadvantages, forcing it to implement a restructuring programme to stabilise the carrier and ensure its future “once and for all”. But rumblings from staff suggest this might not be plain sailing.

Cost reductions reaching EUR200 million (USD255 million) in 2012 are going to be key factors in the airline’s mission to return to the black. This year will also see continued uncertainty in the airline’s focus markets, with the crisis in the Eurozone and increased expenses resulting from the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme likely to affect plans at the carrier.

Airlines: surviving in a changing world. CAPA's Hottest Airlines to Watch in 2011

24-Dec-10 1:19 PM

As the international airline industry evolves from a heavily protected, government-run activity into a commercial hybrid, individual airlines are confronted by massive challenges, each of them unique to the company concerned. At the same time, the industry overall remains constantly at risk from any number of external threats.

CAPA’s Hottest Airlines to watch in 2011: Europe

9-Nov-10 5:09 PM

The European airline market was battered by the global financial crisis, recording a combined loss of USD4.3 billion in 2009, according to IATA. Europe's tepid economic recovery, the ash cloud crisis, difficulties in cutting capacity and massive structural changes within the short-haul market have conspired to make 2010 another challenging year. Losses are anticipated at USD1.3 billion in 2010, making it the only region to be unprofitable in an otherwise strong year for recovery elsewhere. But there are some bright spots in the region. In this report, CAPA reviews the European airlines expected to make waves in 2011.

10-Sep-10 5:28 PM

European airlines are showing signs of yield improvement, particularly among the UK and Continental European carriers. The Nordic market appears to be stabilising, albeit at weak yield levels. Overall, the outlook remains uncertain.

Morphing global airline alliances: Is Air Berlin good for oneworld?

28-Jul-10 10:13 AM

"Aer Lingus announced in May its intention to leave oneworld as its strategy has changed fundamentally since it joined the alliance six years ago and is no longer convergent with oneworld's. The alliance's key target market is the multi-sector, premium, frequent international traveller, and Aer Lingus has repositioned itself as a low fares point-to-point carrier" - oneworld Press Release, 29 September 2006. - Ah, the good old days of 2006, when alliances were composed of mature legacy carriers that offered all the traditional benefits and perks. Aer Lingus, in its remake for survival, decided to try a different operating model and was, like an unruly country club member, asked to leave.
