European woes force changes for the better at Indian Ocean carriers, with Air Austral the latest

24-May-12 8:45 PM

Hardest hit from the European economic situation, aside from the carriers that have collapsed, are far away from continental Europe in the Indian Ocean, which contains the self-proclaimed Vanilla Islands grouping of countries: La Reunion, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. These nations' carriers are largely dependent on European leisure traffic, which has evaporated in the dual threat of weakening economies and high fuel prices that provide no stimulation to whatever demand is left.

The starkness of the situation has been demonstrated most recently by Air Austral, which over the northern winter will reduce its long-haul network to a single destination and will postpone – or possibly cancel – its order for two Airbus A380s, following it being unable to pay for a new Boeing 777 awaiting delivery. Air Austral is also looking to partner with Air Mauritius to maintain a connection to Australia, a further sign that the situation in Europe is forcing the Vanilla Island carriers to make medium/long-term strategy changes that will finally strengthen them. Etihad Airways earlier this year acquired a stake in Air Seychelles and is now lending management oversight to the Seychelles flag carrier while the region's other carriers have conducted overdue network reviews.

Thai Smile CEO, Woranate Laprabang Thai Smile settles on unique hybrid model with premium economy and mixed network

30-Mar-12 4:08 PM

New Thai Airways unit Thai Smile is gearing up to launch services on 07-Jul-2012 following a unique hybrid model aimed at allowing it to compete against LCCs at the back while meeting the needs of premium passengers, including those connecting from Thai-operated flights, with a light premium economy type of product at the front. Thai Smile’s initial network will feature a mix of new destinations for the Thai Airways Group and existing destinations, where the new carrier will look to supplement existing Thai Airways-operated service.

Thai Smile’s first destination, Macau, will be international but managing director Woranate Laprabang tells CAPA that about 30% of the new carrier’s capacity will be allocated to domestic routes. Mr Laprabang now expects to be managing a 20-aircraft all-narrowbody operation by the end of 2015.

Royal Brunei settles in for medium term with expanded Australian services

19-Mar-12 11:46 AM

Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) this month is increasing capacity to Melbourne and adjusting the schedule there in a bid to generate scale and improved financial performance. The government-owned carrier is settling into its restructured route network that in mid-2011 saw many loss-making long-haul routes eliminated, which RBA deputy chairman Dermot Mannion says is helping create financial stability as costs decrease and cash flow improves. The carrier will continue to monitor its regional network but is unlikely to open new destinations, preferring instead to add capacity when opportunities arise.

The restructure left RBA with significant excess capacity on its widebody Boeing 777 fleet but RBA later this year will return two of its six leased 777s and retain the rest until 787s arrive in late 2013. RBA expects the aircraft, combined with a new interior and redevelopments at Bandar Seri Begawan Brunei International Airport, will give the carrier a boost after high fuel prices and increased competition made it undertake the restructure and staff retrenchment.

Thai AirAsia aims to accelerate expansion following late March IPO

14-Feb-12 9:59 AM

Thai AirAsia aims to complete an initial public offering (IPO) by the end of next month that should raise capital to help fund the next phase of its expansion programme. The Bangkok-based low-cost carrier is an affiliate of the AirAsia Group and expects to expand its fleet of Airbus A320s to 40 aircraft within five years, at which point it may look at adding widebody aircraft.

Thai AirAsia CEO Tassapon Bijleveld told CAPA at last week’s Low Cost Airlines World Asia Pacific conference in Singapore that the company is “about to file” with the Stock Exchange of Thailand its long-planned IPO. He says the filing, which would be submitted “very soon”, will lead to a 45-day quiet period which would culminate in the sale of shares. Mr Tassapon expects the IPO will be completed by the end of 1Q2012, which would require a filing in mid-February.

Thai Airways President, Piyasvasti Amranand Thai Airways expects full post-floods recovery in January

23-Dec-11 10:04 AM

Thai Airways International is confident of a full recovery within the next few weeks from the Bangkok floods, which caused a big drop in traffic in November and a smaller drop so far this month.

Thai Airways reported a load factor of only 61% for Nov-2011, down 11 ppts from the 72% load factor recorded in Nov-2010. Speaking to CAPA at last week’s Star Alliance event in Ethiopia, Thai Airways president Piyasvasti Amranand called the 61% figure “terrible” but says December will be “a lot better than November” although the carrier will still not be able to meet its pre-floods projection of a 75% load factor for Dec-2011. Mr Piyassvasti expects the carrier to end this month with a load factor of nearly 70%, marking a significant improvement over November but not a full recovery. “January looks better,” he adds.

Thai Airways President, Piyasvasti Amranand Thai Airways forward bookings and short-term outlook plummet due to Bangkok floods

7-Nov-11 12:43 PM

Thai Airways International is facing a challenging November and December as tourists reconsider travelling to Bangkok in the aftermath of the recent floods. The flag carrier, which had been banking on a profitable 4Q2011 to offset year-to-date losses, now faces the prospect of a full-year loss for 2011.

Thai Airways president, Piyasvasti Amranand, says international forward bookings are down significantly, with Asian routes the most impacted. Domestically, Thailand’s carriers have been recording high load factors since the floods began late last month. Most Thai carriers have been operating additional flights over the last two weeks in response to a surge in demand as roads connecting Bangkok with northern Thailand have closed, making bus travel to major domestic destinations such as Chang Mai impossible.
