Skies aviation industry: Back in "Friendly" In 2010 Farnborough?
: Return of the industry on the environment " Aviation Sky "Farnborough in 2010?
SUNIL KEWALRAMANI February 18, 2009
As investments, airlines are best left to relentless optimism and egomaniacal color. In the long term, a diversified portfolio of airlines has been delayed more reliable market average. margins of the companies carriers operating long-term average of only 2 percent since 1950, says UBS.
In 2007, the Paris Air Show, the industry Aviation flying high …. the world economy was booming and the credit was plentiful. The customers who have booked by Boeing and Airbus could get a premium for giving their reservations for companies interested in jumping in the history of the industry growth of aviation. Today, airlines are happy to return to their cameras to take delivery. In 2008, Amex airline index has fallen more than 70%. Not only the game has changed, the dominant players have also changed. In Farnborough this year, the Middle East, Etihad Airways has ordered 45 aircraft from Boeing and 55 Airbus, worth about $ 20 billion at list prices. It strengthens the position Middle East as one of the few regions where airlines have the financial ability to expand aggressively.
Singapore Airlines reported its third quarter results on February 10, 2009, is one of the operators less terrible. It has two qualities that any carrier must bear hollow: a strong brand and a major shareholder of the patient (state of Temasek, if SIA). In addition, he has a leaf looking for a better world equilibrium: the money in the bank exceeds the long-term liabilities of more than three to one, a young fleet of aircraft fuel, and one of the management teams around higher grades. As such, the world's largest airline by market value is a reference in the industry. If AIG is struggling, too bad the rest.
AIG is really suffering. The period from September to December, traditionally the most profitable at the net profit by almost half. operating parameters are strong: factors passenger numbers by only 3 percent, while costs (excluding fuel) fell by 5.5 percent. But there came a cropper lock cover purchases of fuel at prices far higher than the average period of $ 99 barrel. Losses should be increasing: 44 percent of fuel needs for the fourth quarter – well above the industry average – have been pre-purchased at $ 131 a barrel, compared with spot prices on $ 56.
As the covers fall, however, SIA has a real opportunity to stand out from the pack in protecting its dividend. China Eastern, Singapore Airlines has recently rejected offers to expand their operations. Moreover, the flow cash after capital expenditures during the first nine months covering almost dividends last year. In an industry that fluctuates between different degrees of more than ability, preserve the gain would be really hammering the difference between leaders and laggards.
By Vijay Mallya, the self-proclaimed "King the good times "reasons of their own after Richard Branson, the launch of Kingfisher Airlines three years seems to have returned as a failure. Economic Growth slower due to the global crisis with dramatic unexpected increase in fuel prices earlier this year took the tail of the airline industry. There urgent requests to reduce sales tax from 26 percent to 4 percent, which could help reduce air fares. Mallya A blood calls to India ease its restrictive policies on FDI, which currently prohibit foreign companies holding shares in domestic companies in India.
Although oil prices dropped recently, the threat of OPEC to reduce production, combined with the threat of inflation, he could return following the very expansionary monetary policies of central banks in the world, could cause fuel prices to rise. Fuel costs represent about 65% of the costs in the long-haul flights, but only about 30 percent of travel expenses for short flights. Qantas one of the most profitable companies in the world just aircraft ground, suspended routes, chopped capacity, cutting jobs and has an agreement with its long-distance drivers to block the company's 3 percent wage policy year 2013. Following the 9 / 11 and SARS, the Australian company has outperformed its peers, collect and market share dropped from aircraft carriers could not afford them.
According to a report Frost & Sullivan, the Indian fuel price is based on international parity prices, even though international crude oil is refined India. Aviation Fuel Turbine (ATF) prices in India, accounting for 40-45% of the ticket price compared with the global standard of 35%. In the context high fuel prices, passenger numbers of households has decreased significantly from a year according to the aviation industry in India. Jet Airways recently fired 10% of its workforce, but to give in and put them under duress. GoAir has dismissed a significant part of their expatriate drivers. SpiceJet has announced the reduction of daily flights from 117-100. Kingfisher Airlines is negotiating the sale of two of the five A340-500 aircraft was committed to buy from Airbus in 2007. GoAir SpiceJet and two back to Aircraft lessors. It also plans to defer delivery of 29 narrow-body A320. In response, some have adopted the use of winglets on the wingtips to reduce consumption fuel, others are flying his plane to a higher altitude, the choice of parking near the runway to reduce the tax on time. Some are reducing the amount of water in toilets and for human consumption that lead while others have lighter plastic cutlery, food trays, etc. Even the Indian government has recently compiled by the elimination of customs duty of 5% on kerosene. In addition, oil companies are reducing prices in rupees 9429.87 kg ATF liters, with immediate effect.
American, Continental and Delta to cut flights several. Pratt & Whitney estimates destinations have to wash your engine Ecopower Hawaii process allows saving a million dollars of fuel per year in 31 of the Boeing 767 engines. Eight experienced pilots and the United States presented the Association Airline Pilots complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration indicate that U.S. Airways is pressuring pilots to use less fuel than they feel safe to save money. By removing six seats, JetBlue, down a 320 weighs about 904 pounds. Air Canada plans to remove the paint and the beginning of his 767 save € 360 by air. Alaska Airlines, said in 2004 that the abolition of the five magazines per aircraft could save $ 10,000 a year on fuel. This new beverage cart, 20 pounds lighter could save $ 500,000 per year in fuel costs. However, fashion favors engine turboprop aircraft, more fuel efficient and environmentally environment in the skies, should help to support the order books for the same. ONEWORLD alliance of several airlines jointly explore options for joint purchasing of fuel.
Mergers and acquisitions can capture the abandoned territories:
In 2003, Air France has bought rival KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and managed to attract passengers away from European competition by offering long-distance connections through its centers in Paris and Amsterdam. Lufthansa acquired Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. in 2005. Its goal is equality of record profits last year betting on the weakness of its competitors and the links of the harvest abandoned by competitors. This model is similar to the southwest, where the players taking advantage of south-west started during the recession in the aviation industry brought on by high oil prices. Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines are set to merge. Continental Airlines and United also are planning a close alliance.
elite companies emerging in the scene:
According to an article in The Wall Street Daily, the strength of this club (which includes the south-west, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Ryanair and Deutsche Lufthansa) highlights the growing gap between rich and poor. These actors powerful are able to cover costs, borrow money, buy new aircraft and pamper customers to pay while their poorer rivals cut routes and seek injections cash. The five new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 airliner super jumbo Class frontal sleep in sheets made by the French fashion house Givenchy, while coach passengers USB ports to connect their own electronic devices with their video screens to rest. Faced with a severe industry downturn, earnings operational Singapore Airlines has increased by 60% for the year ended March 31, 2008.
Southwest Airlines as a role model: the discount model remains profitable for 35 years. He aggressively hedging fuel costs and avoid the current high prices of fuel, most successful companies. He was covered with fuel at 51 dollars per barrel. The obstacles have resulted in cash proceeds of 455 million Southwest U.S. dollars in 2004, $ 892,000,000 in 2005, 675 million in 2006 and $ 439,000,000 for the first nine months of 2007. It has $ 3,700,000,000 cash in the bank and a market capitalization of $ 9.9 million more than the combined market value of the six largest U.S. companies conventional.
new generation aircraft: Airbus has demonstrated their ability to fly the A380, with a synthetic liquid fuel derived from a gas called gas-liquid (GTL) in a three hour flight between Filton, UK and Toulouse, France. The A380 has a fuel consumption of 2.9 liters per passenger per 100 km and carbon emissions of just 75 grams per passenger per kilometer, 17% less than that emitted the Boeing 747. Boeing 777 is more fuel efficient aircraft in its class. The 747-8 will be 16% more efficient than the 747-400 (and 11% more efficient than the A380). The A350 is Airbus' response to Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. Furthermore, EADS A400M, once in service, will be capable of carrying a payload of up to 37 tons over a distance up to 4700 nm. Released July 8 date format 2007-7/8/7 United States (date was chosen for the impact), high-tech application and futuristic 787 Dreamliner, a long range of 250 to 300-seat jet with a body made of carbon fiber is set to produce 20% more fuel efficient models comparable has been incredible. Advanced Aerodynamics Dreamliner (spoilers technology wiring soft fall when flaps are deployed, and low-drag nacelles laminar flow) to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Higher bypass ratio engines can be quieter. Boeing has received orders for more than 60 customers for 892 aircraft, worth 145 billion U.S. dollars at list prices. Boeing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions at its facilities main is thought to have fallen by 24% between 2002 and 2007. Chinese white 90-seat ARJ21-700 aircraft is called "Xiang Feng" or "Flying Phoenix "and its appearance broadcast live on state television. Reservations are Ailrines 100 180 Kunpeng, a new venture between Shenzhen Airlines and China Officers of the United States Air Group. The arrival of the "Flying Phoenix" truly marks the rise of China as a global superpower of the first plan and encourage growth in the Asian subcontinent.
Green Ross to SpiceJet rescue: Reversing its call
India's SpiceJet has chosen as her suitor WL Ross & Co. WL Ross has made his reputation in calls to the Contras — purchase the steel industry in the U.S. where no touch him, for example, and put his hands on a Japanese bank, where he has struggled with bank loans in 2000.
of low-cost model is here to stay
Air Deccan pioneer new channels in the ticketing kiosks, petrol stations and post offices in the India, which has contributed to the distribution costs 12% -15% compared to choose a travel agency GDS (Global Distribution System) and the old system. If the reason is for meet the consumption base including large at the bottom of the pyramid of consumers, then the business model must create a product respond to changing volumes low price margins on low costs with thin wafers. The low cost model is about innovation, efficiency and use of assets that are increasingly necessary in times of rising fuel prices. The cost per available seat kilometers a low-cost carrier is much less than the full-service company. The average income per capita Ryanair, Europe's largest low-cost airline in Europe is Euro 247 Euro 39 against British Airways and easyJet Euro 57, another low cost carrier. It is therefore the airline with the lowest revenue per seat is a comparative advantage and important mattress for dealing with this industry and not cyclical.
The Indian air force is still a country of industries sunrise and companies carriers and investors see India as a market convincingly. In my opinion, the oil bubble would burst due to more demand destruction sustainable when the next show will be held at Farnborough 2010. The basic principles viz. India, a billion people produce only 16 million domestic trips of years, is still largely intact. This, combined with the emergence of investors with deep pockets will ensure that the industry emerges stronger after shock punishment. The balance must be found in the next two years as companies work to optimize capacity, rationalize routes and cut lines deficit.
By simply raising fares, the distinction between low cost carriers and full-fare air decreases, resulting in a differentiation business model. The government, meanwhile, has its ante and improve its infrastructure. It is not uncommon to witness the planes circling over the target areas in Mumbai and New Delhi several times before being allowed to land, and causing the waste of valuable fuel.
The current scenario is almost reminiscent of the crisis Days after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. This decline was short-lived and so I think it is.
Oil prices fell as a result of unwinding of speculative positions by hedge funds and demand destruction takes the stage. The future belongs to the bold, not timid and weak. The stage is set for the survival of the fittest. In the process, men are separated from boys. The turmoil currently experiencing an impressive opportunity for players in the aviation industry to emerge stronger than ever. The Farnborough Air Show 2010 promises to be dominated by a new set of industry players, that will emerge victorious after the ordeal of fire.

Bullet Points:
1) The arrival of the Chinese "Flying Phoenix" truly marks the rise of China as the world's leading superpower and drive growth in the Asian subcontinent.
2) Vijay Mallya, the self-proclaimed "King the good times ", the launch of Kingfisher Airlines three years ago seems to have been a sharecropper.
3) Released July 8 date format U.S. 2007-7/8/7 (Date was elected to the impact), the application of high technology and futuristic 787 Dreamliner, a long range of 250 to 300 seats jet with a body made of carbon fiber is ready to make 20% more fuel efficient than comparable models has been incredible.
4) The basic knowledge. India, a billion people produce only 16 million domestic air trips a year, is still largely intact.
5) Instead of relying on the government's generosity, the aviation industry that needs players roll up their socks, adopt best global practices, learn the art of effective fuel hedging needs, stimulate consumer demand and leverage roads of battle, abandoned by their smaller rivals to strengthen its position in the global aviation industry.
