Air Canada cancels outstanding A340-600 order
Air Canada has cancelled an outstanding agreement to take three Airbus A340-600 aircraft, 10 years after placing its order for the type. The Canadian flag-carrier had been among the first to sign for the A340-600 having committed to the aircraft ahead of its industrial launch in late 1997. It also signed for a pair of A340-500s at the time. Airbus has disclosed the Air Canada A340-600 cancellation in its latest order figures, covering the first half of 2008.

Northwest plans 2500 job cuts; adds new fees
Northwest Airlines (NWA) today announced it will reduce its frontline and management employees by 2,500 as a result of capacity reductions taken to address the unprecedented run-up in oil prices. In addition, NWA will match its competitors and charge fees for the first checked bag and for frequent flier award tickets, and increase the fees for ticket changes.
“Our fuel costs have more than doubled in the past year,” said Doug Steenland, President and CEO of Northwest Airlines. “In order to manage through this unprecedented fuel challenge, we have to take action to both control costs and increase our revenue.”
In June, Northwest announced plans to reduce its system mainline capacity (domestic and international) in the fourth quarter of 2008 by 8.5% - 9.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result of these flight reductions, Northwest will reduce its frontline and management personnel by 2,500. All NWA employee groups will be affected by this.
The reductions will be first achieved through a variety of voluntary programs including early-out programs, voluntary leaves, work rule modifications and attrition. Furloughs will be employed only if voluntary means fail to achieve the targeted reductions. “These reductions are the direct result of our extraordinary fuel costs and the necessary actions we must take to right-size our airline and eliminate unprofitable flying,” said Steenland.
NWA will also match other competitors by adding fees to offset some of its extraordinary fuel costs. Additionally, NWA is matching several competitors including American Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, with plans to charge $15 for the customer’s first checked bag. The new policy applies to tickets sold on or after July 10, for travel starting August 28, throughout the United States as well as travel between the U.S. and Canada. NWA also charges $25 for a second checked bag and $100 for three or more checked bags. Frequent flier elites are exempt from the policy, along with full-fare coach passengers.
NWA is also matching competitors by implementing a service fee for award tickets. For WorldPerks® Award tickets issued in North America on or after September 15, 2008, NWA will charge $25 for domestic tickets, $50 for Trans-Atlantic tickets, and $100 for Trans-Pacific travel. Steenland noted, “This is a temporary service fee to partially offset our fuel costs. As fuel comes down, we will re-visit this decision.”
NWA also followed moves by American, United, Continental and US Airways to increase fees for ticket changes. Starting July 9, the fee for domestic non-refundable ticket changes will increase from $100 to $150. International ticket change fees will increase by an additional $50 to $150 per ticket, depending on class of service and other restrictions.
Steenland said, “In addition to helping offset our extraordinary fuel prices, these fee increases also better align our costs with providing these services.” He concluded, “We expect these three incremental revenue enhancing measures to generate $250 million to $300 million a year, which will help ease the burden of these record high oil prices.”

E' arrivata l'ufficialita', anche se si sapeva gia' da molto tempo che AC non li avrebbe mai presi in consegna.
Ha deciso a suo tempo una flotta LR solo Boeing. (777, 787)

mandino tutti il CV qui AZ assume..e poi stanno nascendo compagnie di bandiera ..."provinciale"...visto che dopo quella nazionale e regionale sono esaurite.....
Quali sono le compagnie che stanno licenziando ?
Si parla di compagnie serie no Club Air o MyAir.

E' per questo che stanno salvando le provincie che volevano abolire?
Ci sarebbero anche le comunità montane da prendere in considerazione, poi. Se poi valutiamo che alcune comunità montane sono state fatte in riva al mare... le piste ci saranno di sicuro, se no si fanno!
ne è nata una nuovissima che fa Salerno milano mxp....grandi siamo unici al mondo...e poiu ci incaxxiamo quando ridono di noi.....questo (mondo aviazione) è solo una piccola parte heheh
Una domanda che mi pongo da un certo 12 settembre mattino....
Rapidissimi a calcolare gli esuberi
Rapidissimi a calcolare le future mancanze di passeggeri
Rapidissimi in tutto, anche a adeguare le tariffe.
Rapidissimi a reagire in modo che definirei "emotional"
Meno rapidi nel prevenire gli scenari negativi
Hanno già deciso che il traffico di passeggeri calerà in modo così drastico?
Mah, da ignorante direi che contano di ridurre l' offerta (numero di voli) e riempire di + e quindi rendere più profittevoli quelli mantenuti, e riducendo i voli di conseguenza devi ridurre il personale!
E' come quella scena di Casablanca... l'avranno pure colorata al computer ora..ma è sempre la stessa scena, già vista!
penso anche io così, ero un po' sarcastico e ironico...insomma, visto che l'offerta sembra aver superato la domanda (che non necessariamente sia calata, solo che l'offerta è salita a dismisura), mettono in azione un piano calmieratore (dal loro punto di vista), un anti-corpo.
Un quasi artifizio per recuperare redditività.
Segnale che veramente si muovono tutti in modo estremamente emozionale, a prima vista direi anche irrazionale, con gestioni a fisarmonica.
