Royal Air Maroc fighting back LCC tide with new fleet, cost cuts and possible privatisation

8-Sep-11 3:49 PM

Regional unrest in North Africa and the onslaught of LCC competition has taken its toll on Morocco’s national carrier, Royal Air Maroc (RAM). Job cuts and privatisation are on the table to address reported weekly losses of up to MAD20 million (EUR2 million). The carrier is also fighting back with an extensive fleet renewal programme that will see it become the first B787 operator in Africa in 2012, after last month becoming the world's first operator of ATR 72-600s.

LCCs ready for take-off; carriers prepare for Boeing B787 deliveries

15-Apr-11 5:36 PM

LCC start-ups dominated airline news this week. Air Canada revealed it is drawing up a business plan to launch an LCC in response to its fast-growing low-cost rivals such as WestJet, Porter Airlines, Air Transat and Sunwing in the Canadian market, according to reports.

AACO , Teffaha Pi Global Alliances in the Middle East: not fertile territory

2-Aug-10 5:29 PM

The interests of airlines based in the Middle East are addressed by an organization known as AACO, Arab Air Carriers Association. Among regional carrier groups, AACO is unusual; only two of the group's airlines are affiliated with one of the three global Alliances; Star claims Egyptair and Royal Jordanian is in oneworld. Furthermore, the number of passengers attributable to those two carriers in 2009 is roughly 9.5 million, meaning that less than 10% of the region’s passengers travel on alliance affiliated carriers. And there appears to be only limited scope for this situation to change in the near future, as this overview reports.

Africa Aviation Outlook: Cooperation, liberalisation and protectionism

11-Jun-10 3:48 PM

As African governments sought a path to successful locally-based airline operations, some attempted to gain the benefits of scale and coverage by forming joint airlines. With a good deal of support from European governments and flag carriers, two early examples of airlines jointly representing the interests of neighbouring countries shared resources, costs and – hopefully - the profits.

Outlook for global airline alliances in Africa

10-Jun-10 11:38 AM

As global alliances gather momentum, radiating from their core partners in Europe and North America, each region is experiencing the influence that the groupings can bring. Africa is no exception, but the lack of fully viable locally based carriers offers something of a challenge in finding partners to expand beyond the small number already accounted for.

African airline fleet growth peaking in 2010; Egyptair, Ethiopian Airlines & Nigerian Eagle lead way

18-Jan-10 10:57 AM

African airlines are expected to take delivery of 73 new aircraft in 2010 – making it a peak year for deliveries to the region, after 42 deliveries last year, 26 in 2008 and 39 in 2007. Approximately 66 aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2011, according to Ascend fleet data. The 74% year-on-year increase in deliveries in 2010 reflects the growing optimism in the African continent amid a resources-led economic revival, and the recent success of some of the region’s rising star airlines. Egyptair and Ethiopian Airlines will take delivery of the greatest number of aircraft (ten each) in 2010, to lead the regional tally.
