Qantas in a changing world: quantifies refocused international strategy and limits capital exposure

14-May-12 11:51 AM

Qantas' withdrawal from a series of international routes promises the single largest benefit to its loss-making international division, delivering AUD100-120 million (USD101-122 million) in annual benefits, with the majority to be realised in FY2013. But with the international division reporting a loss of AUD216 million (USD219 million) in FY2012, Qantas will continue to operate a number of unprofitable routes, primarily to Europe and Asia.

Qantas expects to reduce those losses through the reconfiguration of its Boeing 747-400 and A380 fleets, which when complete towards the second half of FY2014 will deliver AUD70-90 million (USD71-91 million) of benefits annually. Qantas previously put those retrofit changes at a cost of AUD400 million (USD406 million). They include reconfiguring nine 747-400s to have no first class while 12 A380s have a reduced number of business class seats but more economy and premium economy seats.

British Airways resumes Seoul service with more Asian destinations to come as BA integrates bmi

3-May-12 9:28 PM

British Airways is making one of its first significant network changes following the acquisition of bmi (by parent company International Consolidated Airlines Group) with the Dec-2012 resumption of services to South Korea's Seoul, which BA last served in 1998. BA will operate six weekly Boeing 777-200 flights on the route. "British Airways is delivering on its promise to increase long haul flying to Asia following IAG’s purchase of bmi," the carrier said in a statement.

Following the bmi acquisition IAG CEO Willie Walsh spoke of a number of routes BA would look to launch with the London Heathrow slots bmi would bring to IAG. Mr Walsh named South Korea, as well as Indonesia and Malaysia, as specific examples. 

GIP wins the race for Edinburgh Airport; next up is the Stansted-MAG show

2-May-12 10:16 AM

BAA announced it has agreed to sell its 100% interest in Edinburgh Airport Ltd to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for a cash consideration of GBP807.2 million, with the sale approved by the UK Competition Commission. The sale price is payable in full at closing, expected by the end of May-2012.

Olympic Games, despite conventional wisdom, present no large benefit to airlines

1-May-12 10:20 AM

Some members of the public were incredulous last year after Qantas announced it would cut its London capacity by over a third in Mar-2012, months before the summer 2012 Olympic Games being held in London. They saw the Games presenting a large traffic opportunity and thought Qantas should wait for the Olympics to pass before reducing London capacity. But in fact the Olympic Games or any sporting event when held in a large city present little uplift. While leisure demand increases, corporate traffic tends to whittle.

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, some of the most exposed to London, expect no notable uplift from the Olympics. During the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, airlines recorded traffic – and financial – losses as security measures stunted growth. 

Royal Brunei plans long-haul product upgrades while refocusing short-haul to compete against LCCs

27-Apr-12 10:26 AM

Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) aims to significantly improve its long-haul product next year following the introduction of its Boeing 787 fleet as part of a new strategy to focus on brand in the long-haul market and price in the short-haul market, where it faces increasing competition from LCCs. The long-haul product enhancements will include 18 lie-flat business class seats on the 787s, which will be placed by early 2014 on the carrier’s London, Dubai and Melbourne routes as well as potentially to Hong Kong and Shanghai.

RBA is now slated to receive its first of five 787s in Aug-2013, as CAPA first reported in Nov-2011. The carrier will be the first in Southeast Asia to receive the 787. RBA deputy chairman Dermot Mannion said on the sidelines of the CAPA Airlines in Transition CEO Summit last week that the carrier plans to place into service three 787s by the end of 2013 with the final two being delivered in 1Q2014.

Air Nigeria to resume long-haul network as West African aviation grows

19-Apr-12 7:43 PM

Air Nigeria is resuming its long-haul network after services were cut during a period of restructuring, ownership transfer and re-branding three years ago. The privately held flag carrier, formerly known as Virgin Nigeria and briefly as Nigeria Eagle Airlines, will resume long-haul services in May-2012 to London Gatwick and Johannesburg with plans in the short-term to launch Rome and Paris services.

The Lagos-based carrier has had a false start, expecting last year to resume long-haul flights in Sep-2011, but plans this time are more concrete, with Air Nigeria loading schedules and fares. Its planned services will see notable competition, but like many routes in and out of Africa, are typically high-yielding. Air Nigeria’s forthcoming Lagos-London route is the latest in West Africa-Europe expansion, following notable capacity increases from Brussels Airlines.
