Strategie Finnair

[AZ209]

L'idea di Javier Roig di puntare a sfilare un po' di pax che attualmente utilizzano le connessioni o i diretti da Mxp virando su Linate, e' un po' rischiosa e a mio parere farebbe perdere anche la clientela fidelizzata FY attuale. ma e' un mio pensiero.

Perche' ritieni che perderebbe la clientela fidelizzata? Dal momento che sono fidelizzati non dovrebbero avere particolari problemi a volare dal (mediamente) piu' vicino LIN rispetto a MXP.

 

[aamilan]

Certo. Fonte Sea: sempre piu' pax sono inclini a utilizzare Mxp per le rotte verso l'Asia ovviamente per le preferenze accordate alle M3 con i transiti oppure direttamente con i voli no-stop, ma anche conta l'apprezzamento per Malpensa da parte dell'utenza.

cambia completamente la catchment area di chi vola da mxp rispetto a lin, ovviamente per quei pax che non prendono un volo diretto.

Ho utilizzato male il termine "fidelizzato". E' un po' il discorso del "sai quello che lasci e non sai quello che trovi". aamilan nel suo commento ha espresso meglio di me il concetto che riguarda la catchment area. siamo sicuri che x FY l'area intorno a Lin performi meglio che quella intorno a Mxp? Credo che man mano che il tempo passa, Linate vada sempre meno di moda e vi sia sempre piu' una maggior apertura dell'utenza nell'appoggiarsi a Malpensa. In sintesi ritengo che Malpensa possa in una sempre maggior percentuale indirizzare le scelte dei pax verso le Compagnie con cui volare.e non piu' solo il contrario come e' sempre avvenuto in passato.

Scegliere da dove partire adesso si fa in base alla moda? A posto così, grazie.

La strategia di crescita di Finnair ha portato all’espansione del proprio network a lungo raggio. A partire dall’inverno 2017, infatti, sarà possibile volare verso: Puerto Vallarta in Messico, L'Avana a Cuba, Goa in India e Puerto Plata nella Repubblica Dominicana.

Finnair aumenterà anche la capacità di posti sui i voli verso la Thailandia durante l'inverno 2017. Due frequenze settimanali supplementari saranno aggiunte alla tratta Helsinki Bangkok, portando il numero totale di voli a 16 alla settimana. Anche gli orari dei voli per Krabi e Phuket sono stati rettificati per abilitare connessioni più efficienti.
Con l’inizio della stagione invernale 2017, verranno aggiunte: due nuove frequenze sulla tratta per Singapore rendendola così meta quotidiana per tutto l’anno e tre frequenze settimanali aggiuntive per Hong Kong portando così a 10 i collegamenti settimanali.

L'outlook finanziario del 2017 per la compagnia finlandese si prospetta piu' roseo del previsto. Utili operativi previsti quasi triplicati rispetto al 2016

Finnair now expects to triple its 2016 operating profit

Finnair has again stepped up its 2017 full-year operating profit outlook to over €155 million ($180 million) - nearly triple the €55 million figure it posted in 2016 - exceeding the top end of its most recent €135-155 million guidance.
The Finnish flag carrier originally expected to deliver a €110 operating profit in 2017, doubling its 2016 performance, but this was upgraded to the €135-155 million range in September.
However, Finnair said on Nov. 10 that passenger and cargo traffic sales have developed better than forecasted. This triggered the latest outlook revision.
“Finnair expects its comparable operating result for 2017 to exceed €155 million,” Finnair said in its disclosure.
The airline reiterated its prior commitment to hitting 9% capacity growth across the full year, but said revenue would grow slightly faster than capacity. Finnair previously said revenue would grow in line with capacity.
In 2016, Finnair carried almost 11 million passengers, generating €2.3 billion in revenue.

Outlook
Guidance on 15 February 2019:
Global airline traffic is expected to continue growing in 2019. Finnair expects increased competition as capacity is added, particularly on routes linking Europe with Asia as well as in short-haul traffic. ​The slowdown in the economy of Finnair’s key markets and the continued uncertainties surrounding global trade, including from Brexit, could impact the demand for air travel and cargo.
Finnair plans to increase its capacity by approximately 10 per cent in 2019, down from its 14.8 per cent capacity growth in 2018. This growth is mainly focused on the Asian market. Revenue is expected to grow at a somewhat slower pace than capacity in 2019.
​In line with its disclosure policy, Finnair will issue guidance on its full-year comparable operating result as part of its half-year report in July.
CEO Topi Manner:
The year 2018 was Finnair’s third year of accelerated growth, but it also had a different side to it. In the first half of the year, a favorable demand environment supported our rapid and profitable growth in both passenger traffic and travel services. However, in the second half of the year, competition intensified especially on certain European routes. In addition, the price of jet fuel temporarily spiked and the future growth rate of the global economy became more uncertain.
Our full-year traffic growth – a 14.8% increase in capacity and an 11.6% increase in number of passengers to 13.3 million – resulted in a growth of 10.4% in revenue, with a total revenue of 2.8 billion euros. Our full-year comparable operating result was 169.4 million euros, thus remaining at the previous year’s level (170.4).
We continued investments that our renewal requires. Even if our operating result weakened towards the end of the year, our long-term target continues to be profitable, sustainable growth.
Our market environment also has more uncertainty than a year ago, as the growth in global economy seems to soften. Our goal is to create value for our shareholders, customers and employees alike. Therefore, it is important that we take care of our profitability so that we can develop in all these areas and create value in the more challenging environment we operate in. In practice this means that we invest into items that are key for our future, we question our way of working in a healthy manner, we develop our productivity and react to changes in external environment. At the same time, we continue to develop our customer experience and people experience in long-term.
As the new CEO, I have seen how passionate both our customers and our people are about Finnair. This forms a strong foundation on which to build Finnair’s future together. I want to thank our customers for the trust they have placed in Finnair, and all Finnair employees for the good performance in 2018.
Dividend policy and the Board’s proposal for the distribution of profit
The aim of Finnair’s dividend policy is to pay, on average, at least one-third of the earnings per share as a dividend over an economic cycle. The aim is to take into account the company’s earnings trend and outlook, financial situation and capital needs in the distribution of dividends. In 2018, earnings per share were 1.08 euros (1.23). Finnair Plc’s distributable equity amounted to 392,868,533.76 euros on 31 December 2018. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of 0.274 euros per share be distributed for 2018.

Ho provato a fare una ricerca dal 2003 ma non trovo voli LH non stop verso PUS.
Magari sbaglio ma l'unico che vedo e' un FRA-ICN-PUS del 2011.

Giusto intendevo MUC e non FRA. Comunque il succo e' che il volo non era non-stop ma con scalo a ICN.
