Jetstar-JAL LCC, "Jetstar Japan" to commence service by Dec-2012

16-Aug-11 5:55 PM

Japan Airlines Corp, Jetstar Airways and Mitsubishi Corp confirmed plans to establish a LCC JV in the Japan market by Dec-2012. Jetstar Japan will be Japan's third new LCC announced this year, following hard off the heels of All Nippon Airways' announcement last month that it plans to establish a JV with leading low cost airline AirAsia, AirAsia Japan, in addition to its previously announced LCC, Peach. The JAL JV would add another piece to the complex jigsaw that is now transforming the Asian airline market. The potential market growth as these successive ventures are introduced can be measured in the hundreds of millions of new passengers. Removal of highly restrictive regulatory conditions and the scale of opportunities as new city pair market options emerge mean literally that the sky is the limit for growth upsides.

SIA short-term outlook bleak as profits drop further to two-year low

29-Jul-11 9:38 AM

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has recorded a further reduction in profits due to high fuel prices and weak load factors. The SIA group on 28-Jul-2011 reported a net profit for the three months ended 30-Jun-2011 (first quarter of FY2011/12) of SGD45 million (USD37 million), an 82% drop compared to the same period last year and its smallest quarterly profit in nearly two years. The airline itself also fell into the red for the first time in seven quarters, incurring an operating loss of SGD38 million.

Jetstar CEO, Bruce Buchanan Jetstar's new North Asia focus leaves room for Qantas Singapore expansion to Europe and India

16-Jul-11 7:28 AM

Jetstar is planning to expand its Singapore-based fleet by 50% over the next six months as the low-cost carrier group looks to North Asia for the next phase of its dramatic expansion. As the largest low-cost airline group in the Asia-Pacific region continues to expand at a rate of about 20% per annum, additional capacity will not be directed west towards South Asia, the Middle East or Europe but primarily to North Asia, where Jetstar sees the most opportunities given North Asia’s very low LCC penetration rate. This strategy could signal growth for the Qantas brand in South Asia and Europe as the group looks at potentially announcing next month the launch of a new Singapore-based full-service carrier.

Cathay Pacific CEO, John Slosar Business models diverge at long-time archrivals Cathay and Singapore Airlines

2-Jun-11 3:38 PM

Cathay Pacific Airways sees enough growth in the top end of the market to stick entirely with the traditional full-service model and will not be persuaded to follow some of its biggest rivals in establishing a low-cost carrier subsidiary.

SIA's long-haul low-cost subsidiary strategy to restore growth after a lost decade

26-May-11 11:36 AM

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has unveiled a bold new strategy to launch a new long-haul low-cost carrier which should allow the group to better compete against faster-growing rivals and regain some of the market share it has lost to budget airlines.

Singapore Airlines CEO, Goh Choon Phong Singapore market set for more competition and potential over-capacity

16-May-11 5:16 PM

Competition in the fast-growing Singapore market could further intensify as Qantas looks at potentially establishing a new full service carrier. The prospect of a second legacy operator for Singapore comes as the country’s flag carrier, Singapore Airlines (SIA), has seen profits significantly erode in recent months due to a combination of weak load factors and high oil prices.
