Re: 10 dicembre 2013: Alitalia presenta ai sindacati il piano industriale. EY più vic
Da anna.aero le considerazioni di Cawley (COO FR in uscita) su Alitalia:
anna.aero: “OK. Are you going to talk to other airlines about more formal feed agreements, like you offered to Alitalia in Rome?”
Cawley: “Look, we are doing feed and we have done feed for years at loads of airports. At Rome there is a growing sense that Alitalia is about to fail and we wouldn’t want that because that would hit our feed. And, frankly, we don’t actually like it when other airlines go out of business – it creates a situation where everyone thinks there is loads of opportunity and we end up with too much supply – that’s exactly what happened in Budapest after Malév. Alitalia has some very good long haul routes like Tokyo, but they are bleeding themselves to death with the cost of their domestic feed while other airlines like Turkish, with 100 flights a week, are also sucking the goodness out of Alitalia. Air France isn’t going to rush to save them because they will get more out of Alitalia if they leave them to deteriorate. So we offered them a solution.”
anna.aero: “But that’s Alitalia. This exercise now means also directly taking on Vueling’s new base at Rome and Brussels Zaventem with your own totally overlapping new bases. Are your mainly going after Vueling?”
Cawley: “A bit. Remember we have taken on Vueling before – at Barcelona – and in fact there was probably a sense by them that they could move to capture Brussels and Rome while Ryanair was short of aircraft at a time when we have had to find aircraft for the new commitments at Stansted and Ireland. But we are really flexible, and we have found the capacity within our network.”
