AF continua la cura dimagrante


In the framework of a meeting with staff, the management of Air France provided an update on the latest trends and on the implementation of Perform 2020.


The increased pressure on unit revenue observed since April is leading Air France to step up the implementation of Perform 2020 and to launch immediate adaptation measures.




The stepped up implementation of Perform 2020 will imply the scheduling of negotiations meetings with unions under a tight schedule in order to finalize agreements by the end of September 2015.




The immediate adaptation measures include, among other:




- the closing, as of Winter 2015, of several loss-making routes (Stavanger, Verona, Vigo, Kuala Lumpur), combined with frequency and aircraft size reductions on several other strongly impacted routes (Japan, Brazil, Russia)
- new initiatives targeting external expenses and general purchasing, for an estimated impact of 80 million euros




In parallel, Air France is launching a detailed review of its investment plan, which will notably include the earlier retirement of a third Airbus A340 and the investigation of various scenarios to postpone the delivery of long-haul aircraft (Airbus A350 and Boeing 787).




Finally, management has been negotiating for the past 7 months with the largest pilot union, SNPL AF Alpa, on the implementation of the remaining measures planned in the Transform 2015 agreement signed by this union. Considering the lack of progress, management has decided to commence summary legal proceedings in order to obtain the implementation of the remaining measures.




“At the end of September 2015, we will assess the financial situation of Air France, take stock of the progress achieved in the negotiations with unions, and the number of people who have signed up to take the two ongoing Voluntary Departure Plans (cabin crew and ground staff). We will then be in a position to decide the actions required to safeguard the future of Air France. On the eve of the Summer peak period, which is crucial to the 2015 financial results, we are fully mobilized to the service of our customers” stated Frédéric Gagey, Chairman and CEO of Air France.
 
Tradotto in termini un filo meno "politicamente corretti": aspettate a ottobre prima di scioperare, perché se non salviamo la summer sono cavoli amari.

L'impatto dello scorso sciopero ha inciso per circa 500 milioni di €, è la cifra non è comunque ben definibile completamente visto l'impatto di immagine, un nuovo sciopero prolungato potrebbe fare veramente male ad AF.
 
Come fanno a ridurre ancora in Russia? I voli AF sono solo su Mosca (4x o 5x al gg, ma l'ultimo volo utile per i transiti in Europa parte alle 15:10, LH alle 17:40 da DME o 18:30 da VKO) e San Pietroburgo (2 daily).
Considerato in modo globale il network, è improbabile che rotte oil&gas in Europa ed Asia vengano passate a KLM?

domanda: in pratica cosa dovrebbero ridurre in Brasile e Giappone? quali voli? quale destinazioni?
 
Oltre ai tagli su Giappone, Brasile e Africa Orientale, AF chiudera' anche KUL e SVG.
Mentre KLM tagliera' frequenze su 10 citta' europee oltre a frequenze su Giappone, Africa e Brasile, levando un totale di 500.000 posti offerti dal network.
Inoltre De Juniac non ha mancato di menzionare ulteriori 'misure severe' in termini di tagli al network di lungo raggio, qualora non si trovasse un accordo con i piloti entro fine settembre.

De Juniac said he’ll trim second-half capacity to meet lower demand, with cuts of 14 percent to Japan -- where recent terror attacks in France have deterred visitors -- 5 percent to Brazil and 6 percent to East Africa. He also plans to shave a further 300 million euros from administrative costs by 2017.The Air France arm has already announced plans to drop four unprofitable destinations including Kuala Lumpur and Stavanger, Norway, while Dutch unit KLM will pare flights to 10 European cities, as well as locations in Africa, Japan and Brazil, removing a total of 500,000 seats from the network.
The company didn’t specify today which other routes will be affected or where fresh cuts might come as it seeks “an acceleration and an increase in the magnitude” of savings -- though De Juniac warned that if there’s no agreement with Air France pilots by the end of September he’ll be forced to take “severe measures” in slimming down the long-haul network.

Sarebbe interessante sapere quali sono le 10 rotte europee di KLM che subiranno riduzioni di frequenze. Saranno coinvolte anche rotte verso l'Italia?
 
Continua la ristrutturazione in casa Air France, col passaggio di altre 10 rotte cedute dalla mainline a HOP.
