Outlook of Jetstar Pacific uncertain with possible Vietnam Airlines stake

24-Oct-11 1:02 PM

The future of Jetstar Pacific, the Vietnamese low-cost subsidiary of the Qantas Group, is uncertain following various reports state-owned Vietnam Airlines may takeover the 70% local shareholding from other state-owned companies, Saigontourist and the State Capital Investment Corporation. Vietnam Airlines already has dealings with the Qantas Group by way of a codeshare on flights between Australia and Vietnam.

While the transfer, if it proceeds in the medium- or long-term, may appear to be a paperwork exercise, it could change Vietnam's emerging low-cost carrier market, which at 18.6% has one of the lowest domestic penetration rates in Asia and the world. It is an evolving story we have been following, and one that shifted when Vietnam Airlines announced its intention to launch its own LCC unit by 2014, as we reported last month.

VietJet launch not affected by AirAsia pullout

17-Oct-11 11:28 AM

AirAsia’s decision last week to not go forward with its Vietnamese joint venture is a major setback for the AirAsia Group and Vietnam’s promising aviation market. But by no means does it spell an end or even a delay for AirAsia’s Vietnamese partner, VietJet Air, which is moving forward with plans to launch services in Dec-2011 without AirAsia.

Vietnam’s LCC market poised for explosive growth as VietJet AirAsia launches and Jetstar expands

9-Sep-11 10:23 PM

The Vietnamese aviation market is poised for significant low-cost carrier growth as a new AirAsia affiliate launches services at the end of this year and the country’s first LCC, Jetstar Pacific, plans to finally implement long-delayed expansion plans. Meanwhile flag carrier Vietnam Airlines is preparing to launch its own LCC subsidiary or unit by 2014. Three LCCs may seem like too many for a market which last year consisted of only about 20 million passengers, but is reasonable when considering the rapid economic growth in the country and the small size of its LCC sector compared to other ASEAN countries.

Laos market poised for major shake-up as Lao Airlines doubles capacity following delivery of A320s

31-Aug-11 4:08 PM

Laos is poised for unprecedented change as flag carrier Laos Airlines prepares to launch new international routes and up-gauge several existing routes following delivery of two new A320s. As a result, total capacity at Lao Airlines will almost double in 4Q2011 and capacity in the entire Lao market will surge by 50%. For most countries the impact from two additional narrowbodies would be just a drop in the bucket, but for the smallest market in ASEAN and the region’s smallest flag carrier there are huge ramifications.

Airline IPO activity increases as market conditions improve but oil threatens

10-Mar-11 10:45 AM

There are more than 30 airlines around the world publicly talking of conducting an IPO to help diversify funding sources, coinciding with improved demand and economic conditions. Aircraft deliveries are also accelerating, with more than 1400 aircraft scheduled for delivery this year alone, prompting the need for additional financing. However, concerns over rising fuel costs in recent weeks have had affected oil prices and, hence, the attractiveness of airlines.
