Complimenti ad Adria!
 
OT ma non troppo, notizia di qualche giorno fa:

4K Invest to inject further €4 million into Adria

Adria Airways' owner 4K Invest will recapitalise the company with an additional four million euros, on top of the ten million it has already committed to investing into the airline during the first quarter of 2019. The funds will be used for "further business development of the Slovenian airline". In a statement, the company said, "The decision was adopted taking into account the firm commitments and strong beliefs of the owner in the successful future of the Slovenian airline, which is becoming one of the strongest regional air carriers, operating scheduled and ACMI services in Central and South East Europe". Last month, the Slovenian Civil Aviation Agency warned Adria it needed to provide proof of its liquidity by the end of the year or face penalties.

Adria's CEO, Holger Kowarsch, said, "We work hard to position Adria Airways as a stable business for further growth. We already achieved substantial development and we will continue to expand the potentials of this company and build it into an even stronger airline in the future", Previously, Mr Kowarsch noted that 4K Invest has long-term plans for the Slovenian carrier. "Our plans for Adria are long-term and we want the company to grow and develop in the future. We see huge potential in the company, with our priority being to stabilise our operations and restore the trust of our passengers. There is a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we are confident that we will succeed", the CEO said.

Initially, 4K intended to recapitalise the Slovenian carrier with at least ten million euros by the end of the year, however, this has been pushed back until the first quarter of 2019. The airline's owner has not said when the latest four million euro recapitalisation payment will be made. Adria has faced significant operational issues over the past few months, which the airline blames on crew shortages and technical problems with some of its aircraft. The situation has somewhat dissipated with the suspension of three routes, which were planned to operate throughout the winter. However, Adria has previously said that sporadic flight cancellations may persist until December.

Forse i 4 milioni arriveranno da quelli spariti in Darwin...

Darwin "svuotata", l’inchiesta avanza

Il fondo 4k sospettato di aver “svuotato” la compagnia. Gli ex dirigenti verranno interrogati per bancarotta fraudolenta


Passo avanti per l’inchiesta sul fallimento di Darwin Airline. Nel corso degli ultimi mesi, come anticipa Teleticino, la Magistratura ha passato al setaccio la contabilità della compagnia.

Fin da subito agli inquirenti è apparso evidente come la società, al momento della cessione, fosse fondamentalmente “sana”, con 17 milioni di liquidità sul piatto assicurati da Etihad. La compagnia, con i dovuti investimenti, poteva dunque essere rilanciata e i posti di lavoro salvati.

Ma c’è di più: i libri contabili dimostrano anche come Darwin, dopo la vendita, sia stata progressivamente “svuotata”. Operazioni giudicate "sospette", che verranno contestate agli ex dirigenti di Darwin (facenti capo al fondo 4k e ad Adria Airways), che saranno interrogati nei prossimi mesi dal Procuratore Pubblico Andrea Balerna.
L’ipotesi di reato nei loro confronti è di bancarotta fraudolenta, favore concesso a creditori e cattiva gestione.
 
Adria granted ticket subsidy on Brussels route

The Slovenian government will subsidies Adria Airways' flights between Ljubljana and Brussels to the tune of 4.5 million euros. According to the "Ch-aviation" portal, the airline won a tender organised by the Slovenian Ministry of Public Procurement for the transport of state employees from a dozen different public institutions who require frequent travel to the Belgian capital. Last month, Adria won a twelve-month contract worth 127.897 euros for the transport of postal items for the Post of Slovenia.

Why Adria Airways and Sukhoi deal went wrong?
Image : SuperJet International Media Center

When, after a year of negotiations with Russian plane manufacturer Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC), Slovenian Adria Airways announced cancellation of its SuperJet 100 order days before planned delivery – the decision might have looked slightly controversial.

What stipulated the sudden deal annulment and how common are the last minute aircraft order cancellations? AeroTime examined the situation and addressed the questions to aviation experts for their take on the issue.

No need for 15 SSJ-100’s?
Adria Airways expected the first of 15 aircraft from Sukhoi to arrive by April 2019, according to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the companies in November 2018. However, on April 2, 2019, the airline asserted it was unable to finalize the contractual clauses with Sukhoi, blaming the latter for the lack of common vision of further strategic development. Adria also claimed it had growing concerns about SCAC´s commitment to a stable, long-term partnership.

Sukhoi, however, claims the deal was closed upon its initiative. SCAC told AeroTime that responsible financial institutions reviewed Adria Airways financial report of 2018 and recommended canceling the deal in order to prevent possible losses. The recommendation was accepted and the work was stopped.



After partnership with Sukhoi fell through, Adria Airways said it was unwilling to look for a replacement. The airline claimed it was not planning on ordering aircraft from other manufacturers and intended to preserve its current fleet structure.

In anticipation of new aircraft
New aircraft complementing an existing airline’s fleet always entails lengthy arrangements. Even more so, if it is a new aircraft type that we are talking about, says AvCon Worldwide Group Managing Director James Kim. In such case, much more complex preparations are required.

“Pilots have to go through type rating training and cabin crew also have to go through type rating training. Engineers have to go through training for new aircraft type and relevant spare parts should be stocked. If it is a new model coming to the country, the airline and manufacturer have to go through type certification process with the civil aviation authority of the country,” James Kim told AeroTime.



SSJ-100 is a new aircraft type for Slovenian operators. However, Slovenia is a member state of the European Union and the European skies have seen SSJ-100 before. The aircraft type was operated by Brussels Airlines and City Jet in 2016-2018.

Last moment cancellations: side effects
Although aircraft order recall prior delivery is no surprise in aviation business, cancellation so close to the first delivery is very rare, experts say.

If financial commitment has already been made by an airline, this can provoke problems and even cause damage to the airline. To avoid it, the airline can opt for switching aircraft type to a different one produced by the same manufacturer, according to James Kim.



“For example, cancel 4 x B737 Max 8 but change to 2 x 787 so that financial damage can be minimised. Cancellation of the aircraft close to the first delivery day may cause forfeiture of deposit made and penalty may be applied if it is ordered by the airline directly,” Kim explains.

Irreplaceable, or is it..?
Another unexpected twist of this story is Adria Airways’ decision to not look for any replacement aircraft.

“Cancellation of aircraft order without looking for replacement sometimes happens due to change of strategy, route plan, etc., if the aircraft are sourced on lease basis,” explains James Kim. Replacement aircraft order is usually made when an airline purchases planes directly from a manufacturer and has already paid a deposit.



Initially Sukhoi planned to provide planes on long-term leasing basis, financed from the funds of “European financial institutions”, as quoted by Minister of Trade and Industry of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov. As Sukhoi intended to lease aircraft, Adria Airways wasn’t forced to look for any replacement options from the manufacturer. The airline did not appeal to other manufacturers either, saying it is going to concentrate on the current routes and operate the existing fleet so far.

As both companies give different explanations on what has happened to their firm contract, Vice President for Strategy and Development at West Wind Aviation Tomas Chlumecky argues that the situation mostly points at Sukhoi’s problems. The expert believes the backlog for SSJ-100 should be small, if they could get aircraft for Adria Airways so quickly, and questions how many real orders SCAC has.

“Sukhoi is used to cancellations, they have had many airlines go bust before and soon after deliveries. With Interjet and Cityjet returning their aircraft, and now Adria order cancelled, what hope is there for any new orders in Western Europe, North/South America?”, Tomas Chlumecky says.

Adria Airways would have been the only European airline operating SSJ-100’s, after the Irish carrier Cityjet and Brussels Airlines phased out their planes. Currently, SSJ’s are mostly operated by Russian airlines.
