Southwest continues to show conservative approach to growth with deferral of 737s

22-May-12 4:16 PM

Southwest’s move to defer deliveries of 30 Boeing 737-800s scheduled for 2013/14 to 2017/18 is a concerted effort to continue a disciplined approach to capacity management and a way to accelerate the company’s often-touted goal of achieving a 15% return on invested capital that it enjoyed in the 1990s. The move illustrates Southwest’s classic conservative approach in running its business as it believes an uneasy economic recovery and volatile fuel prices are creating uncertainty in how the airline business will evolve during the next couple of years.

The carrier first committed to the 737-800 in Dec-2010, opting to substitute 20 of the larger 175-seat aircraft for 137-seat 737-700s it had on order. Southwest expanded its Next Generation 737 order a year later and now has 73 737-800s on firm order with Boeing, plus an additional five leased from a third party scheduled for delivery later in 2012.

Has the Canadian airport model become an anachronism?

12-Apr-12 3:35 PM

From 1992 to 2003, under a National Airports Policy, the 26 largest Canadian airports (out of more than 100 in total) began to be transferred from the control of the Federal Government to newly created local airport authorities. The airports are operated as not-for-profit facilities with stakeholders drawn from a range of public and private sector functions. Only a couple – Vancouver and Montreal – engage in any management activity outside of their own city through subsidiaries. The Government retained ownership of the 26 airports and charges high lease payments within very long leases, that are in turn recouped from landing charges. The airports have been complaining about the rents for many years without much success. But with passengers deserting Canadian border airports (and almost all the main ones are on the border) for cheaper airports in the US, the question is whether it is time for an alternative model.

CAPA Regional Manager UK and Ireland, David Bentley Greater Toronto Airport Authority fights losses with airline stimulus package

3-Sep-09 8:15 AM

Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), the not-for-profit organisation that is the operator of Toronto Pearson International Airport, the largest airport in Canada and one of the largest airports in North America in terms of passenger and air cargo traffic, has published its financial reports for the three and six month periods ending 30-Jun-09. EBITDA is in decline after a small increase in the last quarter of 2008. Conscious of its high charges the Authority has introduced a ‘stimulus package’ that rewards airlines for new routes or capacity increases. Meanwhile the nature of the competition Pearson airport faces is subtly changing.
