airBaltic unveils restructure plan as it seeks to return to the black by 2014
With its latest business plan, airBaltic has joined a number of other European carriers seeking to turn around its operations. As with Air France, Austrian Airlines and Air Malta, airBaltic is attempting to return to profitability in the face of rising competition and fuel prices. The carrier’s restructuring plan is aimed at strengthening its operations with a modernised and simplified fleet, while reducing expenses and its workforce.
airBaltic’s plan, titled “ReShape”, was unveiled earlier this month but had been expected following developments in late 2011 - when the Latvian Government stepped in to acquire Baltic Aviation Services’ (BAS) 47.2% stake in the carrier. This brought the Government’s total ownership of airBaltic to 99.8%.
Air Malta troubles worsen as unions flex muscle and LCCs grow
Air Malta’s troubles have become more acute as the struggling carrier’s unions increase their opposition to large-scale redundancies. Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi has stated the present situation is increasingly worrying, particularly in light of the EUR77 million the government has poured into the airline since Jun-2011.
European airlines report single-digit traffic growth in 2010; profits remain weak
European airlines reported single-digit growth last year - a welcome improvement from 2009's depressed level - but 2010 was a lacklustre year overall. Full year data has been released by the Association of European Airlines (AEA), the European Low Fares Airline Association (ELFAA) and EUROCONTROL. As noted by EUROCONTROL, growth across the continent last year was driven mainly by LCCs.
European and Middle East carriers fighting for market share on Europe-Middle East route
European carriers are becoming increasingly concerned by the Middle East airline threat on their core international businesses. CEOs from British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa have all voiced their opinions lately, as Middle East airlines continue to expand their global networks. But the European flag carriers are not standing idly by. Several are rapidly expanding their presence in the Middle East, to maintain and/or grow their share of this promising market. Emirates is the clear market leader, with a 21.0% share of capacity on Middle East-Europe routes. Qatar Airways is the second largest, with 8.7%, while Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France have just 5.6%, 3.5% and 2.7% shares, respectively.
Malta's tourism rebounds but flag carrier faces dual threat of Ryanair
The Republic of Malta is one of Europe’s smallest but most densely populated countries. Strategically situated between Italy and Libya/Tunisia the country is well connected to Europe and North Africa with all flights using Malta International Airport (MIA), previously Luqa Airport, in the west of the island 20 minutes from the capital and chief commercial centre Valetta.
Ryanair plans new bases at Leeds Bradford and Malta
Ryanair recently announced plans to expand its bases, adding another in the UK and one in Malta. The move supports the carrier’s recent announcements of capacity cut backs at Manchester, London Stansted and Dublin International Airports.
