<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
smallest of the three alliances currently has 12 full members. The alliance was
set up by 5 carriers from 4 continents-American Airlines, British Airways,
Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qantas Airways on 1998. The alliance
currently has 11.6% of the global capacity according to CAPA. Three new Asian
airlines: Malaysia Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines and Qatar Airways are in line
to join the alliance. With its headquarters at New York City, the alliance
currently operates to 810 destinations in 149 countries across the world with a
fleet of 2381 aircrafts. Members of Oneworld have contributed up to 8627
departures per day, estimate to carry 324 million passengers per year with an
average load factor of 79.1%. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Malaysia
Airlines and Sri Lankan Airlines are expected to join the alliance ahead of the
high-profile entrance of Qatar Airways in 2013. Kingfisher Airlines, the
troubled Indian airline that was expected to join at the beginning of the year
is facing serious financial difficulties as the airline is now facing a battle
with financial difficulties. Apart from that, a few member airlines have left
the alliance since its establishment in 1999. Malev Hungarian Airline left the
alliance last year after facing financial difficulties that forces the airline
to stop operations. The alliance former members include Aer Lingus which left
the alliance voluntarily in 2007 and Canadian Airlines which is acquired by
national carrier-Air Canada in 2000. Currently, Mexicana is still a part of the
alliance despite not operating. The carrier is expected to commence operation
during the year end as the airline was bought by Med Atlantic for $300 million.
Oneworld alliance is more towards having corporations between member airlines.
IAG and American Airlines have revenue sharing agreements on transatlantic
routes. Likewise, Japan Airlines and British Airways have a similar agreement
on Japan-UK routes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

company was placed into administration. The alliance is currently at risk of
losing TAM, the largest carrier in Brazil and South America because of the
merger with LAN (in Oneworld) to form LATAM. Star Alliance has a particular
strong presence in Europe and Africa. The alliance has the most members
compared to the other two alliance in the both the continent. Star Alliance is

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
alliance was established by Air France, Delta Airlines, Korean Air, Aeroflot
and Aeromexico in 2000. The second largest alliance in the world has 18.3% of
the world’s total capacity. The alliance served up to 993 destinations across
186 countries with a fleet up to 2,644 aircraft. Despite being the youngest
alliance of the three, the alliance has a very strong presence in both China
and Taiwan. Having two of the largest Chinese carrier in the alliance and the
national carrier of Taiwan, the alliance is the dominant alliance in the
high-growth Chinese market. The alliance dominance in China will likely to
increase with the arrival of Xiamen Airlines which is expected to join the
alliance next month. Indonesia’s Garuda Indonesia is also on sight to join the
alliance in 2014. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
two most high-profile former members of the alliance is Continental Airlines
and Northwest Airlines. Northwest Airlines as we all know formed a merger with
Delta Airlines in 2010. While Continental Airlines leave the alliance to join
Star Alliance that follows with a merger with United Airlines in 2012. Copa
Airlines also follows the footsteps of Continental to leave Skyteam and join
Star Alliance. The only region in the world that Skyteam doesn’t really have a
presence is the Oceania (Australasia) market. All the major airlines in the
region are members of other alliance. Besides, Skyteam has a relatively small
presence in Africa and South America with Kenya Airways and Aerolineas
Argentina as the only members in the region. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
EVA Air, Taiwan’s second largest carrier, carries the color of green as its background color. The airline was founded in 1989 by the airlines’ parent company-Evergreen Group. But it was until 1991 when the airline launches its first flight. Apart from passenger service, EVA Air has entered into air cargo business, aircraft maintenance service and airline catering service. The airline is based at Taiwan’s largest airport-Taipei Taoyuan Airport, together with its rival Taiwan’s flag carrier-China Airlines. The airline operates from Taoyuan Airport’s Terminal 2. Besides, the carrier has some of its operations at Kaohsiung International Airport, Taiwan’s second largest airport. While Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport serves a transit point for most of its European service. <br />
<br />
On March 28 2012, Star Alliance announced that EVA Air will officially be a new number of the world’s largest alliance. Joining the alliance allows EVA Air to further expands its network and offer more destinations to its passengers. Since the announcement, EVA Air has signed a couple codeshare agreements with Star Alliance. The latest agreement is with United Airlines, placing EVA Air’s code on United Airlines’ domestic services from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of the year, EVA Air signed an extra order of 3 Boeing 777-300ER, while leasing another additional 4 Boeing 777-300ER to replace the 7 older Boeing 747-400s aircraft. The less-competitive Boeing 747s has to be replaced due to safety and fuel consumption issues. These older aircraft which has joined the fleet since 1998 will be retired or converted to a freighter aircraft. 15 Airbus 321 aircraft which was ordered last year aims to replace the older MD-90 aircraft and expands its Asia network especially to mainland China after regular scheduled operations are allowed. The newest members of the airlines’ fleet are the 3 Airbus 330-300, which has just joined the airline last year. These 3 aircrafts are the aircrafts with the famous Hello Kitty livery on the aircraft’s fuselage. The carrier’s other aircrafts include the Airbus 330-200s aircrafts which has joined the airline since 2003 and also the Boeing 777-300ERs aircrafts has joined since 2005.</div>

The carrier has its own regional and domestic subsidiary named Uni Air. The carrier which is the largest domestic flights carrier in Taiwan operates a fleet of Bombardier Dash Q300 aircrafts and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 aircrafts. The airline focuses mainly on domestic operations mainly between Taiwan’s main island and the islands of Kinmen, Makung and Matsu Islands. In this few years, the airline has started flights to regional destinations in China, Korea and Japan. There are plans by EVA Air to turn Uni Air into a low-cost carrier as Taiwan is a few countries in Asia that does not have a low-cost carrier. Well, the idea of turning it into a low-cost carrier is certainly an interesting one, as foreign low-cost carrier has find the Taiwan market a profitable one.<br />

The airlines’ cargo division is one of the top 10 largest cargo companies in the world. With a fleet of 16 aircraft, EVA Air Cargo operates up to 111 weekly cargo flights to cargo destinations like Anchorage, Brussels, Frankfurt, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta. The airline is considered as one of the safest airline in the world as the airline does not suffer any fatalities in its operational history. <br />
<br />
Despite having lots of difficulties the airline faces, it’s fair to say the airline weathered the storm well. The airline faces natural disasters like Typhoon and earthquake which hits Taiwan annually, uncertain political status of Taiwan which limits the airlines expansion plans and the sudden spread of disease like SARS and H5N1 virus, but still the carrier stands firmly and continues to fly passengers from different countries around the world with new aircrafts replacing old and aging aircrafts. In future, cross-strait flights to China will definitely be one of the main focuses for EVA Air as regulators allows more passenger services between the two countries. <br />

Being rated as one of the five star carriers in the world, the Boeing 777s is certainly the aircraft that is influential to Malaysia Airlines in gaining that status. Malaysia Airlines currently operates a total of 17 Boeing 777-200ER aircrafts which was delivered from April 1997 to December 2004. At the moment, Malaysia Airlines has no plans to retire or add any Boeing 777 family aircrafts to the airline’s fleet. The Boeing 777s is currently not involved in Malaysia Airlines latest fleet renewal program. The carrier has now received new Airbus 380-800, Airbus 330-300 and Boeing 737-800 aircrafts which intends to replace the older and aging Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 737-400 aircrafts. In 1997, the carrier’s Boeing 777-200ER aircraft once hold the record for the world's longest non-commercial non-stop flight, flying from Boeing Field in Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, flying eastward and pass over the European and African continents.<br />

AirAsia X hopes to serve destinations that can be served by a 4-8 hours flight from their home based at Kuala Lumpur. This is a change of strategy as AirAsia X incurs heavy losses for their flights to Europe. AirAsia X is losing RM20 million (USD$ 6.25 million) a year alone on their London route which is due to high operating cost of their Airbus 340-300 aircraft which operate the route. The new strategy is able to have a better turnaround time so that the airline’s new Airbus 330-300 aircraft is fully utilized. Operating flights around Asia-Pacific allows the airline to increase the efficiency of its new Airbus 330-300. <br /> <br />AirAsia X’s Current Destinations: (All flights operated by Airbus 330-300)

Flights to London, Paris, Mumbai, New Dehli and Christchurch which was discontinued at the beginning of the year is unlikely to resume any time soon. The airline will continue its strategy of focusing on flights in the Asia-Pacific region. This means that more Asia connections from Kuala Lumpur are expected. Flights to Europe will be considered by the airline after the arrival of the new Airbus 350-900 XWB (not before 2016) which guaranteed lower cost of operating compare to the Airbus 340-300 aircraft. Here is a list of future destinations to be served by AirAsia X. <br /> <br />AirAsia X’s Likely Future Points:

Middle East destinations like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha is highly unlikely to be served by AirAsia X due the enormous presence of the “Middle East Big 3” at their respective hub. Air Asia X cancelled their service to Abu Dhabi a few months after commencing a few years back. Flights to India will be considered by the airline if the cost of operating at India is low. Not only foreign carriers facing this problem, 5 out of the 6 major airlines in India suffered heavy losses last year. <br /><br />There is a possibility that AirAsia X might return to New Zealand. Possibly operating flights to the largest city in New Zealand-Auckland rather than flying to Christchurch. Auckland is served by almost every major carrier in Asia including SIA, MAS, Thai, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Emirates. In future, China, Korea, Japan and Australia will still be AirAsia X’s core market in the future.<div>

At the start of the year, Peach Aviation, a new low-cost airline that is based at Osaka-Kansai which is formed by All Nippon Airways took to the skies. Just a few weeks back, Scoot, Singapore Airlines long-haul low-cost carrier commences its first flight to Sydney, Australia. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, many airlines are in the process of flying their first group of passengers. In Japan there will be two new players this year, Jetstar Japan, a new low-cost carrier backed by both Japan Airlines and Qantas Airways and partly owned by Mitsubishi Corp will start their first flight in July; while Air Asia Japan, a new low-cost carrier formed by Asia’s largest low-cost airline Air Asia and All Nippon Airways will start flying in August. Both these two airlines will be based at Tokyo-Narita Airport. In the meantime, a new low-cost terminal had been planned at Tokyo-Narita which will specially house these two new airlines and it is expected to be completed by 2015. Special landing fees have been given to low-cost carriers that are going to operate from Tokyo-Narita. The airport is eagerly attracting new airlines after losing much of the traffic to Tokyo’s downtown Haneda Airport since the opening of international traffic to the airport and also to regional hubs like Beijing and Seoul. Japan has one of the busiest domestic networks in the world. With three new low-cost carriers starting their operations this year, both ANA and Japan Airlines have started to shift some of their domestic operation to these new subsidiaries which have a lower-cost base and putting more focus on international medium and long-haul traffic.

In China, foreign airlines are still being restricted from forming new airlines in the country with the exception of Hong Kong and Macau. Qantas Airlines and China Eastern Airlines have announced the formation of Jetstar Hong Kong, a new low-cost carrier that is going to start operation in 2013. Qantas’s decision to set up a new carrier in Hong Kong is mainly to get access to the greater China market, but this decision could back-fired the airline as Hong Kong has one of the highest landing fees in the world and one of the busiest in Asia. The low-cost model has not been proven as a success yet at Hong Kong. Most famously, Oasis Hong Kong, a low-haul low-cost carrier based in Hong Kong ceased their operation just 3 years after suffering heavy losses. While Hong Kong Express Airlines, owned by Hainan Airlines are in the process of changing their business model from a full-service model to a low-cost model. <br />
<br />
The scenario in China is also the same in one of the fastest growing aviation market in the world-India. The India has considered opening foreign ownership of local carrier after Indian carriers suffer heavy losses. Reports circulating that Singapore Airlines are interested to buy some stakes in India airlines. While Air Asia Group CEO Tony Fernandes has said in an interview, Air Asia is interested to set up an affiliate airline in the country if the government decides to open the aviation industry to foreign ownership. India is one of trickiest market in the world. Despite recording double digit passenger growth every year in the past decade, airlines in the country still suffer heavy losses. Airlines operating in India have to adapt to high costs in the country.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span>Five out of the six airlines in India recorded losses last year. It is interesting how the skies of India will develop once foreign airlines are allowed to participate in the country. I expected to see some new babies to be born in India once foreign investors are allowed to participate in the country’s aviation industry. <br />
<br />
In Thailand, Thai Airways International is in the process of setting up the first flight for its new airline named Thai Smile. The airline is intended to serve the market gap between low-cost carrier and full-service carrier. It will begin operations starting from July 2012 starting flights between Bangkok and Macau. Not long ago, Thai Airways has increased its stake in Nok Air to 49%. The airline will focus on low-cost domestic service out of Bangkok’s older Don Mueang Airport; while Thai Smile will focus serve international secondary cities and some popular domestic route. Thai Airways hopes that the establishment of Thai Smile and Nok Air will able to compete against Thailand’s largest low-cost carrier Thai Air Asia. All LCCs based in Thailand will soon move their operations to the older Don Mueang Airport, so that the airport congestion in Suvarnabhumi Airport will be eased. Thai Airways has long wanted to set up a low-cost airline, but previously the proposed plan with Tiger Airways to set up Thai Tiger Airways failed to materialize. Thai Airways’ 2 subsidiaries operating different strategies and business model will give some serious competition to Air Asia Group’s Thai Air Asia.

One of the most high-profile new airlines this year is Singapore Airlines long-haul low-cost carrier -Scoot. The carrier just started flying to Sydney and Gold Coast in Australia a few days back, will commences operations to Tianjin, China and Bangkok, Thailand. In the meantime, Scoot has also announced Taipei, Taiwan and Tokyo-Narita as their next destinations. The airline is expected to fight against Jetstar and Air Asia X which provides long-haul low-cost flights in the region. Scoot will continue to explore secondary cities (Tianjin, Gold Coast) and operate flights to high frequency market out of Singapore (Sydney and Bangkok). In the coming 4 years, the carrier is expected to operate 16 Boeing 777-200 that is inherited by its parent company. <br />

If you think premium carriers are the ones setting up new low-cost airlines, Lion Air of Indonesia decides to go the other way round. Not only premium airlines are setting up low-cost carrier, even low-cost carrier decides to set up premium carriers too! The airline is currently the largest low-cost airline in Indonesia, has announced its plan for a premium airline named Batik Air that will be based in Jakarta (or Manado) and scheduled for operations starting March 2013. The airline will begin service with 10 Boeing 737-900ER and it has a firmed order for 5 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The new airline will go head-to-head with Indonesia’s national carrier-Garuda Indonesia. The Indonesian market is considered one of the most “underserved” market in the world by aviation analyst. With double-digit air travel growth recorded each year, you will only expect the existing carrier to keep expanding and new carrier joining the battle in Indonesia. Lion Air has just finalized 230 Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 737-900ER order deal with Boeing not long ago. Air Asia Group decides to set up a new ASEAN region office in Jakarta shows how underserved the market it is in Indonesia and Mandala Airlines is resuming its operations after Tiger Airways acquired a 33% stake in the airline.

Philippines welcomed Air Asia Philippines, a joint venture between a group of Filipino investors and AirAsia Group. The airline will be based in Clark International Airport, which is 50 miles away from Manila. Air Asia Philippines commenced its operations in March 2012 with two brand new Airbus 320. The airline will be Air Asia Group’s third international venture after Indonesia and Thailand. The new airline will give the country’s largest low-cost carrier –Cebu Pacific some stronger competition after dominating the Philippines low-cost market for such a long time. <br />
<br />
Existing babies that has already been created includes Korean Air’s Air Busan and Asiana Airlines’ Jin Air. Garuda Indonesia has its own low-cost unit named Citilink. Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Group together own Jetstar Pacific in Vietnam. While in Malaysia, Malaysia Airlines has its own Firefly airline which operates turboprop operations with lower cost out of KL’s older Subang Airport. Singapore Airlines too has its own low-cost unit -Tiger Airways while Qantas Airways has its Jetstar Airways brand. Philippines Airlines has also its own budget unit named Airphil Express which competes with Cebu Pacific in Philippines. Air India has its own Air India Express and Jet Airways with its Jet Konnect operates low-cost services in India. Even Taiwan’s EVA Air is now considering switching its subsidiary Uni Air into a low-cost unit. There are not many airlines in Asia that doesn’t operate a low-cost unit, namely Cathay Pacific Airways, Air New Zealand, China Southern Airlines and Air China. <br />
<br />
But the "airline within an airline" strategy was a strategy adopt by North American and European carriers a decade ago. But most of them failed, this includes United Airlines' Ted, Delta Air Lines’ Song, Scandinavian Airlines Systems sister Snowflake, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ Buzz and British Airways’ GO. Most premium carriers just do not get the idea of how a low-cost carrier should be operating. But the difference with Europe, North America and Asia now is that most Asian country experiencing great passenger growth, some countries like China, India and Indonesia even recorded double-digit growth each year. Will these new subsidiaries created by these Asian carriers a success? Only time will tell.<br />

Finnair is the world’s sixth oldest airline. It was founded on November 1, 1923 as Aero O/Y. The carrier gone through lots of tough times including both world wars and faced an uncertainty after those wars. The war also forces the 1940 Olympic Games that were supposed to hold in Helsinki to be cancelled. But, the airline is still staying strong today as one of the leading carriers in Europe. Not until June 1968, the name Finnair was only officially adopted. Today, the airline is a member of oneworld alliance since 1999. It is ranked 4-star by Skytrax and carriers around 10 million passengers per year to 15 domestic and 55 international destinations. The airline is also rated as one of the safest airline in the world. <br />
<br />
Recently, the airline begins flying to Chongqing, one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in China. In terms of population, the city is just behind of Shanghai and Beijing. This service will be served by both Airbus 340-300 and Airbus 330-300 aircraft four times weekly. In addition to Chongqing, Finnair has daily flight services to Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. There is an interesting trend among European carriers choosing to fly new routes to secondary Chinese cities instead of flying to Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou alone. In April, Air France commenced a three weekly service from Paris to Wuhan, operating by Boeing 777-200ER with 309 seats. While back in March, Lufthansa resumed three weekly flights to Shenyang using an Airbus 340 aircraft. The flight will continue to fly to Qingdao, a new destination from Lufthansa. While, IAG member British Airways is expected to increase flights or start a new route to China very soon after successfully acquired bmi’s slot at Heathrow. <br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Finnair has 8 Airbus 330-300 and 7 Airbus 340-300 aircraft in their fleet. These are the only aircraft in Finnair’s fleet that are capable of flying more than 6 hours. Besides that, the carrier has an order of 11 brand new Airbus 350-900 which delivery is expected to start in 2015. The rest of Finnair’s fleet consists mainly of Airbus 320 family aircrafts and the Embraer E-jets. Apart from flying to New York, Finnair deploy all their long range aircraft to destinations in Asia, as they aim to be one of the biggest transfer hubs in Europe for flights from Asia. The carrier has an added advantage to others. The airline’s main hub in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport offers the shortest connections between Asia and Europe. Besides, Finnair’s Helsinki hub will not be that busy and chaotic compare to Paris, London and Frankfurt. The airport was listed as one of the most punctual airport in Europe; it has been designed expressly with transfer traffic in mind. All arrivals and departures are located in the same building. I compare the travel times of major European airlines to some Asia airline hub below:</span>

Looking at the table above, Finnair always has a shorter flight time to any Asia destination compare to any airlines in Europe. Previously, the airline was the first airline in Europe to operate a non-stop service to Japan in 1983. Soon after that, the carrier quickly introduced flights to Singapore via Bangkok on the same year. This shows that the airline has a long standing history of operating flights to Asia, as the airline always advertise themselves “The fastest link to Europe from Asia” in commercials. Despite being relative small compare to the likes of IAG, Lufthansa, Air France-KLM; Finnair operates up to 72 weekly flights to 11 Asia destinations. In China alone (including Hong Kong), the carrier operates 25 weekly flights, almost the same number as IAG’s 26. <br />
<br />
In May 2010, the airline launched its Vision 2020, hoping to be the number one carrier in the Nordic region and also the top three carriers flying to Asian destinations. The carrier hopes it can increase its Asian presence by offering the best flight connections and competitive price. Part of this strategy is the launch of a revised livery for its fleet, featuring a basic all-white aircraft with a stylized “F” on the aircraft’s tail and the company’s name in a new font. </div>

Rumors circulating around that International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways and Iberia are interested to buy some stake in the airline after the Finnish government announced that it has plans to reduce its stake in the carrier. Perhaps if such a deal gone through, I could see Finnair does some integration in their route network to Asia with British Airways. The deal will certainly benefit Finnair more by offering another alternative for oneworld and British Airways passengers to travel via Helsinki which provides a better connection to Asia rather than travelling through the congested Heathrow.<br />
<br />
Overall, Finnair has found its own formula to continue flying in such a turbulent industry. The Asian market is full of potentials and keeps expanding. In future, I expect Finnair to continue explore more flights to the Asia region and provide the best and fastest link between Europe and Asia. </div>

The airline’s biggest base is situated in Moscow’s Domodedovo International Airport(DME), the largest airport in the Moscow Area and Russia. UN has also based some of their operations based at Russia’s Second largest city- St Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport(LED) and the newly-improved Vnukovo Airport(VKO). Transaero Airlines begin their life as a charter airline by leasing aircraft from Russia’s national carrier-Aeroflot. But, now the airline operates as an independent carrier in Russia. The carrier can consider themselves performing quite well given that the carrier doesn’t receive any state aid(unlike what national carrier gets) and constantly having plans to further expand their network and fleet. The airline is also a seriously candidate for Star Alliance, which currently doesn’t have a Russian member in their alliance. Russia’s national carrier-Aeroflot is currently with Skyteam, while the other independent carrier S7 Airlines is with oneworld.<br />
<br />
The airline recently grabbed some headlines in the aviation world by ordering new aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, and also leasing second-hand aircraft non-Russian aircraft from lessors. This is seen as a move to ensure high safety standard given Russia’s poor safety record. But we look closely at the airlines order book, something quite astonishing happens. The airline has almost every commercial airplane in this world! (If we calculated those future orders and the currently airline fleet).<br />

Looking at the airline’s fleet, the carrier virtually operates all types of aircraft in the world from Boeing to Airbus to Tupolev to Sukhoi jets. The only commercial jets missing from the lists are the Airbus 330 and Airbus 340 family aircraft. Previously, the carrier did operate older Airbus 310 and Boeing 757 in their fleet. Looking at the future, they are going to have Sukhoi jets, Airbus 320neo and Boeing 737-300, -400, -500, -700 and -800 operating short-haul route and domestic Russia route. Both Airbus 380 and Boeing 747 is going to operate medium or long-haul high capacity routes. While both Boeing 767 and Boeing 777 is likely to operate medium-haul route or high capacity short-haul route. The Tupolev aircraft is likely to be retired in this few years. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is quite surprising that Transaero decides to operate so many different kinds of aircraft. Airlines across the world are keep downsizing and simplifying their fleet to further reduce their cost. Airlines like Emirates Airlines are going to operate 3 types of aircraft in the future: The Boeing 777, Airbus 350 and Airbus 380. Instead of simplifying their fleet, the carrier decides to operate and order planes from different manufacturer. It appears to me the management of the airline might be an aviation enthusiast! They want to have every single kind of aircraft on this planet! It is interesting how the airline is going to work once all their ordered aircraft arrived.<br />

Philippines largest carrier, Cebu Pacifc also having plans to operate long-haul routes in 2013 means that competition among these carriers will be more fierce. Currently, there are 2 airline group that are operating low-cost long haul route. One is Air Asia Group’s Air Asia X that is based in Kuala Lumpur, while the other is Qantas-backed Jetstar Airways which operates out of Australia and also Singapore(by the airlines sister company-Jetstar Asia).<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 8pt;">Scoot will operate flights using ex-Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-200.</span></div>

Scoot have announced that the airline will fly to Sydney, Australia and Gold Coast, Australia in June. While the airline recently announced that the airline will commence flights to Tianjin, China in August. The airline also announced that 2 more Chinese cities will be served by the end of 2012 that is not served by its parent company. It is likely to be Nanjing and Hangzhou. Nanjing has previously been served by SIA, but the service was terminated in 2009. The route is currently served by a daily Airbus 320 service by China Eastern Airlines. Nanjing, the 13th busiest airport in China is served by a number of foreign airlines including Lufthansa. While Hangzhou, the 9th busiest airport in China which is a popular tourist attraction and situated about 300km outside of Shanghai. The city is served by carriers as far as Ethiopian Airlines and KLM. The city is served by its Jetstar Asia’s four weekly flights.<br />
<br />
So far, Scoot is a plan that is being executed well by SIA. They fly to new destinations that is not served by their parent company(with the exception of Sydney). The reason why Scoot is allowed to fly Sydney together with their parent company is that the Singapore-Sydney route has a large passenger volume and surprisingly it is the route between Singapore and Australia that has the less competition(if we compare with Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane). Only British Airways and Qantas Airways flew the route. The other routes to Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne are all served at least by 3 carriers(excluding SIA). The routes that is announced so far are all flown by Air Asia X. It seems like Scoot have hopefully to get a share of passenger that is flying with the KL-based carrier in these few years and create a new market without bringing negative effect to Singapore Airlines premium services.<br />
<br />
Competition at Sydney will increase with Air Asia X, which has just started flying daily to Sydney on April 1. The airline has made a big changes to the carrier network by suspending flights to London, Paris, Mumbai and Dehli and most recently, Christchurch. The airline stated that the reason behind the decision is due to high operating cost which includes high fuel prices, high airport tax charges and the recently implemented taxes on airline operating in Europe. The carrier will put their focus on their core market in Australia, Korea, China and Japan which are flights around the 4-8 hours region. After the cancellation, Air Asia X announced that flights to Taipei, Perth and Tokyo will be increased. In short-term, it is unlikely that the airline will resume flights back to these suspended destination. With the share-swap deal with national carrier-Malaysia Airlines concluded last August, it is highly likely that both airline will cooperate in many areas including route network. In future, Air Asia X are expected to fly to cities in their core region, namely Adelaide, Nanjing, Xian, Wuhan, Fukuoka, Nagoya and also Jeddah which is the gateway for local Muslims to Mecca.<br />
<br />
The airline currently operates 9 Airbus 330-300 with another 16 more to come. While the airline has also place orders for 3 Airbus 330-200 and 10 Airbus 350-900. Looking at the airlines order, there is a possibility that Air Asia X will operate flights back to Europe once these fuel-efficient aircraft arrives. Before the cancellation, Air Asia X operates European flights using the 4-engined Airbus 340-300 which has a high cost of operating. But as always, Air Asia X(and also Air Asia) has a slight advantage comparing to those carriers operating from Singapore. Airport taxes and landing fees are not that high comparing to those operating from Singapore and also air traffic are not that heavy if we compare to the likes of Jakarta, Bangkok and Singapore.<br />

The other carrier which flies regularly on medium and long-haul route is Qantas-owned Jetstar Group. The airline together with its Singapore sister company flies regularly on flights that is more than 4 hours. Recently, Jetstar started flying the Singapore-Melbourne and Singapore-Auckland route using Airbus 330-200 which can accomadate 310 passengers. Currently, Jetstar operates 11 Airbus 330-200 and has 15 orders of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Those Airbus will return to parent company Qantas once the new 787 starts to fly with Jetstar. At the moment, Jetstar International long-haul destinations include Honolulu,Tokyo Narita, Osaka, Beijing, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Phuket. These destinations are all served from Australian cities of Sydney, Cairns , Gold Coast, Melbourne and Darwin. On the whole, Jetstar long-haul network doesn’t have many overlapping with the other 2 competitors, apart from routes between Singapore and Australia. Competition on routes between Singapore and Australia will surely be more intensify once Scoot start flying.<br />

<span style="font-size: 11px;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 8pt;"></span></span></div>
The move of allocating new 787 to Jetstar seems like a strategy to put more focus on Jetstar’s network rather than expanding Qantas’s current market. In recent years, Qantas has only welcome only the Airbus 380 super-jumbo jets and Boeing 737-800 jets which intends to replace its old Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 737-400 jets. Apart from that, Qantas has scaled down some of their international routes including switching to a smaller aircraft (Boeing 747 to Airbus 330) on flights to Asia. But for Jetstar, Qantas has order a staggering 110 Airbus 320 jets for the unit. 99 for both Jetstar Airways, Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Pacific and soon to fly Jetstar Japan. While the remaining 11 was initially allocated for the new Premium airlines that is going to be based at Singapore or Kuala Lumpur,, but it is likely that Jetstar will allocate these 11 jets to the recent announced Jetstar Hong Kong. Not to forget that Qantas 787 order are going to the Jetstar unit first instead of Qantas mainline fleet shows Qantas focus on this new segment of the aviation market. Previously, Jetstar has plans to operate to Europe including Rome and Athens, but those plans are scrapped in the end. But there is a possibility that such plans to commence flights to Europe with Air Asia X cancelling all their services to Europe.<br />

Surely the battle will continue and it is likely that the battle will be more and more intense and fierce between these rivals. One interesting fact is that, these airlines are all backed by a big airline group. Scott is a full subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Group is backed by Australian carrier Qantas Airways while Air Asia X is owned by Asia’s largest low-cost carrier Air Asia Group. <br />

Coming 25 March, Japan Airlines, Japan’s national carrier will receive the the brand new, highly-efficient Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner from the hands of Boeing at Paine Field, Everett, Washington. JAL will be the second carrier in the world after All Nippon Airways(ANA) to operate the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. We discover Japan Airlines brand new aircraft and see what JAL's plans for the new aircraft.<br />
<div>
<br />
Despite being the second operator, Japan Airlines has created some number ones. It will be the first one to be delivered with GEnx engines, the first to be commercially fly a route to the US and the first to be used on a brand new route. The aircraft will debut on April 22 when Japan Airlines begins flying non-stop between Tokyo Narita and Boston 4 times weekly. The service will be a daily service starting 1 June. Of course, the flight is codeshare with JAL’s oneworld partner American Airlines. Japan Airlines will then deploy their new Boeing 787 Dreamliners on flights to Beijing, Dehli and Moscow from their Haneda hub. Another interesting part is that JAL will operate new flights to San Diego, US and Helsinki, Finland using their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner starting from December 2012 and March 2013 respectively. It seems that Japan Airlines have put more focus on international routes, linking up well with their partner airlines. This is because of 3 new low-cost carrier that are going to operate this year: Peach Aviation, Air Asia Japan and Jetstar Japan.<br />

Austrian airline, NIKI, a subsidiary of airberlin will join the alliance as a member affiliates. While airberlin group’s Swiss airline, Belair will be part of the alliance as a non-member affiliates. <br />
<br />
<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NqSDZnbDbnZqg28P7NOubbXnT8OgE3AIfFQZ8ftfrtVObkq8peoeZsOMJsMeE1swjEaLZ9lLqm_T2Fh01FQgNx6LUdyL_5HRrdLfwjmH2-V34BSsew" /> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">airberlin’s Airbus 330-223 with the oneworld livery lands at Berlin-Schonefeld Airport(SXF) on March 20, 2012. </span><br />
<br />
Oneworld alliance welcome it’s 13th member (including Malev Hungarian and Mexicana, which now officially classified as an inactive member) and 11th active member to the alliance. Airberlin’s addition will certainly make Germany a home market for the alliance, stepping up competition for some 200 million passengers a year flying to, from and within Europe’s biggest economy. Last year, airberlin served 162 destinations in 40 countries, carrying over 35 million passengers. Apart from airberlin, oneworld alliance will welcome Malaysia Airlines that is well poised to become a full member of the oneworld alliance by end of this year. (Kingfisher Airlines integration to the alliance has been stopped)<br />
<br />
Airberlin certainly has makes a good choice in selecting oneworld over Star and Skyteam. It is impossible for airberlin to join Star which is headed by airberlin’s domestic rival-Lufthansa. While Skyteam has a very strong pressence in central Europe, with Air France, KLM and Alitalia. The joining of airberlin will give oneworld presence in every part of the Europe. Finnair in the northern part, British Airways in the western part, Iberia in the southern part and now airberlin in the central part. In the early stages, airberlin is likely not to bring much impact to the alliance. The airline’s largest hub at Berlin-Tegel (the airline will move to Berlin Brandenburg on 3 June 2012) is only currently served by 3 member airlines that is British Airways, Finnair and Iberia. Most oneworld carriers served Germany’s financial capital-Frankfurt. Airberlin will add 38 more new destinations to oneworld’s network and introduce the countries of Iraq and Iceland to the alliance. With the introduction of airberlin to oneworld, it gives oneworld passengers another option to connect in Central Europe, rather than connecting through British Airways’s London or Iberia’s Madrid. The airline has recently increased capacity in Eastern Europe, so it is able to cover the lost of Malev Hungarian Airlines that was forced to stop their operations this February. Overall, the entrance of airberlin into oneworld gives the alliance a chance to challenge the dominance of Star Alliance in Germany with Lufthansa.<br />

Check out on <a href="http://www.airberlin.com/site/landingpages/airplane_oneworld.php?LANG=eng">updates</a> for the new airberlin aircraft carrying the oneworld logo. </span><br />
<br />
Currently, oneworld has 11th airline member operating, with Malaysia Airlines expected to join the alliance at the end of the year. Star Alliance, the largest airline alliance which has 26 members, has recently added Ethiopian Airlines into their alliance and will soon announce the joining of Taiwan’s EVA Airways. While Avianca of Columbia, Copa Airlines of Panama, TACA Airlines of El Salvador and Shenzhen Airlines of China are all expected to join Star this year. Skyteam, the 2nd largest airline alliance currently has 15 members. Aerolineas Argentina, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Middle East Airlines and Xiamen Airlines of China are all expected to join the alliance this year, while Indonesia’s Garuda Indonesia are expected to join next year.<br />
<br />
But in the future, Star Alliance may lose three members, all to rivals oneworld. BMI is likely to be took over by British Airways/Iberia parent company International Airlines Group(IAG); TAP Portugal which is going to be privatized by the Portuguese government is likely to be acquired by IAG too. While TAM Airlines of Brazil is likely to switch from Star to oneworld in favor of the recent-formed LATAM Group.<br />

The other daily MAS flight (MH140/141) will continue on a Boeing 777. <br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/emsk_z3q8W9XcQ6Fh-b8UlMZmuSQb1GHwqFhkeAVBP4FR9GAlUKwOTtqjlxmv20DTuYd0ePobUhGGobT5zdlxIZ96WyiU4CXlAYoekgH-g-14iwXlg" /> <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Malaysia Airlines new livery of the brand new A380. </span><br /><br />Malaysia Airlines A380s will carry a dashingly revamped livery, combining the airline's iconic 'wau' (kite) symbol with modern fonts. The airline drops the red and dark blue colour in the new aircraft’s livery, adopting a slightly lighter blue in the new airliner. The airline’s A380 seating plan is almost the same as rivals Singapore Airlines and oneworld member Qantas Airways- first class in the front section of the lower deck, business class in the front section of the upper deck and economy class seats spanning both decks.<br /><br />Eight 87 inch lie-flat beds with a generous 85 inch pitch (compared to 80 inches on MAS' Boeing 747) and massive 23 inch video screens will occupy first class at the front of the main deck in a 1-2-1 configuration. 66 business class seats on the upper deck will stretch out in a standard 2-2-2 layout. Each will have a 74 inch pitch (well beyond 58 inches on the Boeing 747), fold out into a 72 inch lie-flat bed and sport a 17 inch video screen.MAS' ‘Chef-on-Call’ facility, currently exclusive to first class passengers, will be extended to business class on the A380.<br /><br />But recently, Malaysia Airlines does not enjoy a good time. In January, Malaysia Airlines cuts 12% of it’s international capacity with cancellation of flights to Dubai, Rome, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Damman, Johannesburg and Surabaya. While in March, the carrier announced a loss of RM2.5billion(US$820 million) in 2011. Malaysia Airline CEO Ahmad Jauhari said that the recent losses is caused by high fuel prices which contribute around 33% of the airline’s total cost, an increase of 15%. Recently, local media reported that the Malaysian government wants the share swap deal between Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia to be reversed. The airline’s union always strongly opposed the share swap deal between both airlines that was concluded in August 2011.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/HFIe01b5cq3MedAkpEcbVPh-SKleZZZ0iahvHMUm-O6CyN2lSSDclcDkAaAkCMqEAEs6CoFhuUUsPRFtiX_eU6pJx_Vg2FxcYCBaVxox8l1BzgrqtA" /> <br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Malaysia Airlines has ordered six Airbus 380s.</span><br /><br />5 of the 6 Airbus 380 will join the airline this year, while the remaining one will join in 2013. Apart from that, new Boeing 737-800 and Airbus 330-300 are expected to join the airline’s fleet, replacing older aircraft such as the Boeing 737-400 and Boeing 747-400. With the introduction of new aircraft into Malaysia Airline’s fleet, cost can be decreased, efficiency of the aircraft can be increased. This could certainly help Malaysia Airlines to transform the airline into a healthy state.<br /><br /><br />By,<br />The Editor<br />18/3/2012<div>

Turkish Airlines repainted one of its Boeing 737-800(TC-JHL) into a special livery which displays the company’s slogan “Globally Yours” across the fuselage. I have to say, it looks fantastic. <br /><br /><img height="424" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/4_0gGEx5oAuWlGtzJ-PotsXFvJ989_8AvrzjpofuOTyXItQWQoOYH4-CcSKvb_8TXz6_VMFLoasbAo0qMt5diq6ddu6g1z3rn8lBe9W6gcnOPmVKNg" width="640" /> <br />The special thing about the aircraft is that the paint scheme of the the entire aircraft is tiled pictures of airline staff. <br /><br /><img height="424" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/0iQ6swwvCKGOWygnECSphFLwg65m0DUodi0r4Rtlz9FpBUO9YVHQLKhaKAvvekqhlAADf0AHETM-H30z0q0QdchphNLekFnMge7hgZSQpZKlIEY4yQ" width="640" /> <br />The company took 4 months to assemble the 18,000 pictures of all Turkish Airlines employees.<div>

Emirates will operate Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on its Washington DC route, providing 8 private suits in First Class, 42 lie-flat beds in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy Class. The airline has just started flying to both Seattle and Dallas in the beginning of the year. The other US gateways include New York, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
<img height="210" src="http://widebodyaircraft.nl/a380emra.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Emirates Airline is the largest A380 operator in the world. The carrier currently operates 21 A380s. </span><br />
<br />
<div>
Starting September 12th, EK 231 will leave Dubai daily at 2:20 am and arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) at 8:50 am. EK 232 will depart Dulles at 10:55 am arriving in Dubai at 8:00 am the following day. The greater Washington, DC region is highly diverse, with over 15 per cent of its population born outside the U.S. The region is home to more than 1,000 international institutions and over 1,000 foreign-owned companies from approximately 50 countries.<br />
<br />
Emirates currently employs over 700 Americans at operations throughout the world, and anticipates hiring more than 4,000 cabin crew and 500 pilots globally this year. The airline had already recruited 570 pilots last year. In the first two months of 2012, the airline has recruited cabin crew in Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle and Washington, DC. Emirates will also be holding pilot recruitment drives in the coming months. The carrier is a steadfast supporter of U.S. job creation and innovation, employing American suppliers for a wide range of goods and services, such as the design of the airline's First Class cabins, the manufacture of its window shades, aircraft wings and landing and runway technology. Emirates airline recently held open days in the UAE and will hold more open days in the UAE and other countries in the coming yeas to fill a wide range of vacancies including engineering, airport operations, cabin crew and IT. It certainly helps some Americans to get jobs considering the high unemployment rate currently recorded in the US.</div>

Recently, Emirates Airline just received the 1000th Boeing 777(pic) at a special event at the manufacturer’s plant in Everett, Washington State. The airline is also the largest operator of the twin-jet engine aircraft, with 102 of them in service with the airline(including the new one). Emirates have another 94 more orders for the aircraft in the airline’s order books. The airline’s most recent order was on November 2011, when the airline orders 50 Boeing 777-300ER fitted with American-made GE90 engines, plus options for 20 more aircraft is worth a total of $26 billion at list prices. The move supports over 100,000 skilled American jobs.<br />

Iraq, Tanzania, Serbia and Myammar are the countries involved in these new series of new routes. With these additional 5 cities, the number of cities as part of its 2012 expansion plans has increased from 12 to 17. The newly announced destinations included Erbil(Iraq), Baghdad(Iraq), Kilimanjaro(Tanzania), Belgrade(Serbia) and Yangon(Myammar). Qatar Airways has recently launcedflights to the European capital cities of Tbilisi in Georgia and Baku in Azerbaijan, its first new routes of 2012. Later this month, starting March 21, Qatar Airways will launch daily scheduled services from Doha to the Rwandan capital Kigali, via Entebbe, Uganda. Start-ups to other international destinations around the world namely Zagreb, Croatia (May 9); Perth, Australia (July 3); Mombasa, Kenya (August 15); Zanzibar, Tanzania (August 5); Helsinki, Finland (July 16); Gassim, Saudi Arabia (August 2); St.Petersburg, Russia(June 4) and Kiev, Ukraine(June 2). Additional service to the cities of Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, London, Milan, Cairo, Algiers, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait have been announced.<br /><br />Most of these new desination are operated by short-haul aircraft with has a lower capacity. All of the 5 new routes announced are operated by Airbus 320 family aircraft. Qatar Airways which currently operates 41 Airbus 320 family aircraft, with another 56 aircraft which includes 50 Airbus 320neo are yet to be delivered. Due to geographically advantage of Doha, Qatar Airways are able to operate to Europe and most parts of Africa with these smaller aircraft. Passengers from different regions can connect easily through the airline’s Doha hub. Although Europe are facing huge financial crisis, but with double-digit growth recorded in some parts of Africa, it is expected that growth in air travel in the region will be increased, with middle east carriers like Qatar Airways taking full advantage of the situation as a couple of African cities are part of the expansion plans of 2012.<br /><br />“This year alone will see Qatar Airways take delivery of one new aircraft every 15 days, so as we bring them in, they will quickly be inducted into service and we will continue to look at new opportunities.” Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said. Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 15 years of operation, currently operating a modern fleet of 105 aircraft to 112 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.<br /><br /><div>
In the meantime, Qatar Airways has also announced its new Boeing 787 at ITB Berlin, the world’s largest travel show that took place in the German capital. The new Boeing 787 aircraft will feature a total of 254 passengers in a two-class configuration of 22 in Business Class and 232 in Economy. A striking feature of every seat throughout the aircraft will be the award-winning touch screen Android technology control units that will debut on <a href="http://www.qatarairways.com/english_global/press-release.page?pr_id=pressrelease_pressrelease_20120307">Qatar Airways’ 787s</a>. Passengers will be able to navigate through a truly interactive system, offering more than 1,000 movie, TV programmes, music and gaming entertainment options in a sophisticated and user friendly way, just like the latest smart phones. The touch-screen control unit has a unique dual screen interface allowing passengers to play games on their handheld device while enjoying a movie on their personal screen.<br /><br />With a 1–2–1 configuration in Business Class, the layout features two less seats than competitors on conventional wide body aircraft, more typical of a First Class cabin where each passenger is assured of direct aisle access. In Economy Class, configured 3–3–3, the Recaro-produced seats embody the very latest in design technology and materials assuring all passengers have a high degree comfort and personal space. Featuring one less seat per row than competitors on other wide body aircraft, the Economy seats promise to offer a totally different travel experience. High quality of cabin product are expected in the airline’s aircraft as it is one of the seven world’s five-stars airline rated by UK’s Skytrax. Qatar Airways is the first Middle East customer of the Boeing 787, with 60 aircraft on order, including options. The Doha-based airline is preparing to take delivery of five 787s during 2012, with the first set to arrive in Qatar this summer. Expecting a further bigger expansion for Qatar Airways when more Boeing 787s and Airbus 350s are delivered to Qatar Airways. The future seems bright for Qatar Airways with more destinations and aircraft being added to the airline.<br /><br />By,<br />The Editor<br />8/3/2012<br /><br /><i><u>sunnaero@gmail.com</u></i></div>Sunn Aerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04617287271718914854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941964435189188711.post-68989799392823044442012-03-02T22:52:00.003-08:002012-03-02T22:52:58.591-08:00Boeing targets year end 777X launchBoeing is targeting a year-end board launch for its conceptual 777X, in time for a late decade service entry, said the company's commercial unit CEO, Jim Albaugh.<br /><br />"We're working towards being in a position toward the end of this year to talk to our board. That's assuming the business case closes, that's assuming the technical trades are ones that close," says Albaugh, who was speaking at a press conference following the unveiling of Boeing's 1000th 777.<br /><br />Boeing strategic goals for the decade including achieving parity between the re-engined 737 Max and Airbus A320neo along with making a signficant investment to further bolster its widebody family for the future.<br /><br />Emirates leadership was briefed on the latest 777X studies earlier in the day, says Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of Emirates.<br /><br />"Our teams have been in dialogue with the Boeing team for some time now, it's really very interesting to see this new aircraft if it will come out. It would be an excellent aircraft to have in Emirates, he says.<br /><br />The conceptual two-member family is seen as a 14,800km (8,000nm) 407-seat 777-9X and 353-seat 777-8X and potentially even a third model in an ultra long-range 777-8LX. The baseline -9X and -8X each grow the lengths of the existing 777-300ER and -200ER fuselages and add a 787-style composite wing, say those familiar with Boeing's studies.<br /><br />The launch of the new 777 family would likely be done in conjunction with a 323-seat 787-10X, a stretch of the 787-9 due for service in 2014, and would more evenly spread Boeing's widebody product line from the 242-seat 787-8 to the 467-seat 747-8.<br /><br />"Obviously you don't want to have airplanes on top of eachother. You want to have them spaced, and I think with the product line that we envision going forward over this next decade, we'll have about a 15% difference in seat count among the different models that we will probably go forward with," says Albaugh.<br /><br />Albaugh declined to offer any details on the 777X's potential efficiency in comparison to the 777-300ER, but says it would be a "pretty significant improvement" and "I think that our customer base would be very interested in."<div>

As many industry experts had predicted, due to the European financial crisis, not many airlines are willing to commit any further orders. As the European crisis keeps worsening, it seems to me that this year won’t be a very good year for most European carriers. Star Alliance member Spanair and Oneworld member Malev Hungarian Airlines have ceased their operation. While there are 3 other airlines around Europe were forced to stop flying. Carriers across Europe like TAROM, LOT Polish Airlines, JAT Airways, TAP Portugal are now finding strategic investors as these carrier struggle to survive in the current market. Competition from low-cost carrier especially Ryanair and easyjet, high fuel cost are part of the causes. Governments across Europe had pumped in lots of money to make these carriers flying. But based on the current situation in Europe, it doesn’t allow the government to do that anymore. Instead, finding a suitable investor in order to ensure long-term survival and a brighter future. Recently, Etihad Airways of UAE just finish acquired a 40% stake at Germany’s second largest carrier-Air Berlin. Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways are rumoured to be investors that are interested to support these ailing carriers.<br />
<br />
During the Singapore Airshow, Lion Air of Indonesia confirmed an order of 380 planes that they announced last year with Boeing, making this the largest order in terms of aircraft ordered as well the cost of the order. The deal included a purchase of 230 aircraft and a option for a further 150 more planes. Among these 230 aircraft, 201 will be the yet-developed Boeing 737 MAX 9, 29 would be the Boeing 737-900ER. Lion Air has always been a great customer for Boeing. The airline was the launch customer for the Boeing 737-900ER and currently operated 57 of it with an order of 119 more(Excluding the new order). Currently, the airline operate a fleet of 71 aircraft with plans to operate medium and long-haul travel in 2013 to compete with likes of Scoot, JetStar and Air Asia X. Not only Lion Air place an order for aircraft. Indonesia’s national carrier Garuda Indonesia also makes an order for aircraft during the Singapore Airshow for 18 Bombardier CRJ1000 aircraft and a further option of 18 aircraft to cater for the regional growth of the airline’s 3rd and 4th hub in Makassar and Medan. Garuda Indonesia still have orders for Airbus 330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER that is going to cater for medium and long-haul destinations. Garuda currently only connects the Dutch Capital of Amsterdam in the carrier’s long-haul network. Apart from that, Indonesia AirAsia, the Indonesia subsidiary of Asia’s largest low-cost carrier AirAsia has also has a huge share of the 200 Airbus 320 that was order by AirAsia Group last year. The aviation future in Indonesia looks bright by looking at the massive order from each airline in the country. The new orders can help erase the long known image of low safety record among foreigners as several Indonesian carriers were removed from the blacklist of the European Union two years back. During the first quarter of 2011, passenger growth rose nearly 18%, with domestic passenger numbers rose about 23% from 2009 to 2010 makes Indonesia currently is the 12th largest aviation market. For me, Indonesia has a huge amount of population at around 240 million, so the large number of population are able to support the large amount of aircraft ordered by airlines. Certainly, aviation future in Indonesia looks bright in the years to come. With strict rules and government enforcement, it looks to me that the confidence in flying in Indonesia has been restored among Indonesians.<br />
<br />
<div>
Another news that caught my eye was an order of extra 10 Boeing 787-9s aircraft from Japan Airlines, which totalled the airlines order of Boeing 787s to 45. Besides, Japan Airlines are in line to be the second operator of the aircraft in the coming months. Previously, Japan Airlines has an order of 35 Boeing 787-8s. Under the current new deal, 10 of the Boeing 787-8 will be upgraded into the larger Boeing 787-9. With 3 new low cost carrier coming into the Japanese market, Japan Airlines certainly have shifted their focus to regional, medium and long-haul route with the orders of these Boeing “Dreamliners”. Japan Airlines have recently announced plans to open new routes to Helsinki of Finland, Boston and San Diego of USA in the coming months operating by the brand new Boeing 787s. Japan Airlines rival, All Nippon Airways too has also announced that a series of cost-cutting measure and putting their focus on international expansion. Kansai-based Peach Aviation, a subsidary of All Nippon Airways will be the first low-cost carrier to take to the skies this March. This will be followed by Jetstar Japan, a joint-venture of Qantas Airways, Japan Airlines and Mitsubishi Corp in July that will operate out of Tokyo-Narita. The last will be AirAsia Japan, a joint-venture between AirAsia and All Nippon Airways which will also be based at Tokyo-Narita in August. The entrace of low cost carrier will certainly increase the competition in the country. Japan which has a large domestic market, but surprisingly has a low low-cost carrier(LCC) penetration. The only LCC in the country currently is Skymark Airlines. But the airline’s recent announcement of an all-premium seats in the airline’s upcoming 6 Airbus 380-800 raises question mark on whether the airline’s business model has been shifted from low-cost to premium market. With the entrance of these 3 new low-cost carriers, fares are expected to be slashed; competition among airlines will be much more stiffer. Overall, the Japan market have recovered pretty quick since last year’s horrific tsunami and earthquake.So it’s interesting to see what will happen in Japan aviation market in the upcoming years.<br />
<br />
Finally, after 5 years of service, it seems to me Airbus is still struggling with their “superjumbo” A380. Recently, Qantas Airways of Australia found cracks on the aircraft wings. For me, it may look a small crack but any small technical issue is big enough to bring down a plane, so zero tolerance should be implement to find the reason of the crack. Hopefully, Airbus will solve the issue properly to restore confidence among passenger that flew the jumbo plane.<br />

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Pakistan International Airlines announced a firm order for five Boeing 777-300ERs on February 20, 2012, in a deal which Boeing valued at nearly $1.5 billion at list prices. The order also included purchase rights for five additional 777-300ERs</span>

“With passenger traffic in our region accelerating, the new 777-300ER airplanes will continue to deliver the highest standards of technology and passenger comfort to our customers,” saidys Captain Nadeem Yousufzai, managing director of Pakistan International Airlines. “The spacious 777-300ER has been an integral part of our long-range fleet renewal program and its excellent operating economics, long range capability and reliability will allow us to expand into new long-haul markets.”<br />
<br />
In 2002, Pakistan’s flag carrier became the world’s first airline to purchase all three passenger models of the Boeing 777 family and in that year was also the launch customer for the Boeing 777-200LR(longer range) jet.<br />
<br />
Last year was the best-selling year ever for the 777 program, with Boeing’s net orderbook of 200 777s in 2012 surpassing the previous annual record of 154, set in 2005.<br />
<br />
The Boeing 777-300ER is powered by General Electric GE90-115BLs, the world’s largest and most powerful commercial jet engines. The aircraft also features the Boeing Signature Interior, which according to Boeing offers wider seats, wider aisles, more headroom and more seating flexibility.<br />

Indonesian carrier Lion Air (JT) has firmed up its agreement with Boeing announced in November to buy 201 Boeing 737 MAXs and 29 737-900ERs in a $22.4 billion contract that is Boeing’s largest ever. JT also acquired purchase rights for a further 150 737s.<br /><br />The initial commitment was announced in Bali, Indonesia, with US President Barack Obama present.<br /><br />Boeing put the list price of the JT firm order for 290 aircraft at $22.4 billion. “This deal is the largest commercial airplane order ever in Boeing's history by both dollar value and total number of airplanes,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes VP Asia-Pacific and India Dinesh Keskar said at Tuesday’s contract signing at the Singapore Airshow. <br /><br />The contract for the CFM International LEAP-1B engine order that will power the 201 737 MAXs is valued at approximately $4.8 billion at list prices, and the CFM56-7B engine order to power the 29 73-900ERs is valued at $580 million at list prices, CFM said.<br /><br />JT founder and president director Rusdi Kirana told ATW the contract offers the flexibility to decide closer to the delivery date how much of each variant JT will take. He also said financing of the new aircraft will be “no problem” and will be done partly through the US Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) and other bank loans. The company intends to outright buy up to 85%-90% of the aircraft, he said.<br /><br />He said he could not detail when the purchase rights would be converted into orders, noting that “much depends if the Asian open skies materializes. If it does, as we hope for by 2015, then a very big market opens up for us.”<br /><br />Deliveries of the new order will start in 2017 and continue through 2026, by then it will have taken delivery of 408 new 737-900ERs/MAXs. The new firm order adds to existing orders for 178 737-900ERs; these deliveries run through 2016. JT was the launch customer for the 737-900ER and received world's first 737-900ER in April 2007.<br /><br />The Jakarta-based airline carried 27 million passengers last year and holds a domestic market share of 51, Rusdi Kirana said. He aims to increase this to 60%. The airline began operations in June 2000.<br /><br />To date, the 737 MAX has orders and commitments for “more than 1,000 airplanes” from 15 customers, Boeing said.<div>

Bombardier Aerospace and Garuda Indonesia (GA) said Wednesday the carrier will acquire up to 36 Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGens to support its domestic and regional operations from its Makassar, Medan and Balikpapan hubs.<br /><br />The deal includes a firm order for 18 aircraft and options for a further 18, GA president and CEO Emirsyah Satar said at a press conference at the Singapore Airshow. Of the 18 firm orders, six will be purchased directly by GA and 12 will be acquired by the Scandinavian lessor Nordic Aviation Capital, he said.<br /><br />The firm order for six CRJ1000 NextGen regional jets and 18 options was announced by Bombardier as an order by an unidentified customer. The order is valued at approximately $297 million and could increase to approximately $1.32 billion if all 18 options are exercised, Bombardier said.<br /><br />“The Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen airliner’s superior economics, outstanding fuel economy and excellent passenger comfort ideally meet our requirement for 100-seat aircraft to service domestic and regional markets from five regional hubs,” said Satar. He told ATW the aircraft will be configured in a two-class layout as they will be an integral part of GA’s full-service approach and network.<br /><br />The first CRJ1000 is expected to be delivered in October and five aircraft should join the GA fleet this year. A further 12 will be delivered in 2013.<br /><br />Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president Mike Arcamone said the “CRJ1000 NextGen regional jet continues to perform beyond expectations with its current operators, and we are thrilled to welcome Garuda Indonesia as the aircraft’s launch customer in the Asia/Pacific region.” <br /><br />Including the order from GA, more than 300 CSeries, CRJ and Q-Series aircraft are on order or are operating in the Asia/Pacific region, Bombardier said. It forecasts the Asia/Pacific region (including China) will take delivery of approximately 4,000 aircraft in the 20- to 149-seat category over the next 20 years.<br /><br />Bombardier said it has recorded firm orders for 1,715 CRJ Series aircraft.<div>

We have been working closely with Kingfisher Airlines over the past months and it has become increasingly clear recently that the airline needs more time to resolve the financial issues it is confronting before it can be welcomed into Oneworld.<br /><br />"Will work with Kingfisher Airlines with the aim of setting a new joining date once it is through this current period of turbulence," he added.<br /><br />Kingfisher Airlines chairman Vijay Mallya said: "In light of the many priorities centred around Kingfisher Airlines' recapitalisation efforts, we felt it prudent to defer our entry into the alliance for a little while. This will allow us the opportunity to focus on the issues at hand and we look forward to being part of the Oneworld alliance very shortly."<br /><br />Kingfisher was to be Oneworld's first Indian member, but speculation over its entry into the alliance has increased in recent months as its financial concerns have deepened.<br /><br />The announcement marks a double blow for Oneworld today, coming on the same day as its Hungarian member airline Malev was forced to cease flights. It comes just a day after Oneworld confirmed Air Berlin would formally join the alliance on 20 March.<br /><br />It means a longer wait for the first Indian carrier to join a global alliance. Six months after Air India's long-planned entry into Star Alliance was suspended after it failing to meet the agreed minimum membership conditions.<div>

The commission on 9 January ruled that Malev would have to pay back the nearly Ft100 billion ($406 million) it received from Budapest between 2007 and 2010.<br /><br />"Against this background, the board decided to order [Malev] to end its proper functioning," said Limburger.<br /><br />Malev warned on 31 January that it was rapidly running out of money and called for urgent talks with politicians to secure its short-term future.<div>

In addition, Air Berlin group member Niki will join Oneworld as an affiliate member on the same date.<br /><br />British Airways sponsored Air Berlin's entry into the alliance, along with the Oneworld central team. Air Berlin received approval to join the alliance after successfully completing a thorough review of its readiness, conducted by British Airways.<br /><br />Air Berlin's membership will add almost 70 destinations to the alliance's map, extending Oneworld's global coverage to around 840 destinations in 150 countries, said the airline.<br /><br />Since accepting an invitation to join the alliance in July 2010, Air Berlin has implemented codesharing agreements with seven established Oneworld partners - American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Malev Hungarian Airlines, S7 and Royal Jordanian.<br /><br />It will become part of the alliance three months ahead of its move into the new Brandenburg airport at its Berlin home, which will open on 3 June with an eventual capacity for 27 million passengers a year, said the airline.<br /><br />Air Berlin and its alliance partners will be co-located at Europe's newest hub, sharing lounges and many facilities.<div>
