El juez embarga a las compañías el pago de billetes a Air Comet para afrontar una deuda de 836.000 euros

MADRID, 31 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

El Juzgado de Primera Instancia número 14 de Madrid ha decretado el embargo de las cantidades que las compañías aéreas deben a Air Comet por intercambiar billetes entre ellas para hacer frente al impago de 1,2 millones de dólares (836.000 euros) que la aerolínea debe a la empresa estadounidense JF Power Megatron.
La orden de ejecución, dictada el pasado 20 de julio, a la que tuvo acceso Europa Press, reclama "para cubrir el importe de las responsabilidades reclamadas" los 1,2 millones de dólares (836.000 euros) de principal, 8.625 dólares (6.011 euros) más intereses de demora devengados y 269.646 euros en concepto de intereses y costas.
Por su parte, fuentes de Air Comet señalaron a Europa Press que sus servicios jurídicos están "negociando para pagar", a pesar de que la compañía estadounidense reclama una cifra "desorbitada" y que recurrirán la resolución.
Desde la aerolínea del grupo Marsans explicaron que la deuda se origina en el alquiler de un avión por parte de Air Comet, que, según JT Power Megatron fue devuelto con una serie de "fallos técnicos" que a su vez la compañía aérea niega.
Así, señalaron que aunque a todas las aerolíneas se les embarga la deuda con Air Comet, ésta es una "práctica mercantil habitual".
El juzgado ordena a las compañías aéreas que intercambian billetes con Air Comet que consignen las correspondientes al crédito contraído con la aerolínea en una cuenta de depósitos y consignaciones o que indiquen las razones para no hacerlo.
En la orden del procedimiento de ejecución de títulos no judiciales, el juzgado advierte a las compañías que una vez recibida la notificación de embargo no podrán pagar directamente al acreedor.
El intercambio de billetes entre compañías aéreas es una práctica mercantil habitual entre éstas mediante la que compensan el exceso de asientos con la finalidad de ajustar costes.

Se il mio spagnolo arruginito non sbaglia siamo al pignoramento di crediti presso terzi!
 
Sbaglio o Air Comet aveva in ordine un sacco di Airbus, compresi alcuni A380?

Il MOU è stato siglato nel 2007 da parte della controllante, Grupo Marsans, che controlla anche l'Aerolineas Argentinas. Nel comunicato, si parla di 61 macchine (4 i 380) ma non si specificano le assegnazioni ai diversi operatori.

La mia curiosità è su come sta messa la Grupo Marsans.

Marsans y Air Comet, en la cuerda floja
27-08-2009
Viajes Marsans y la aerolínea Air Comet, las empresas emblemáticas del grupo que presiden Gonzalo Pascual y Gerardo Díaz Ferrán, se encuentran al borde de la quiebra. Sus responsables están buscando financiación urgente para sacar a flote a amboas empresas pero están teniendo las lógicas dificultades de crédito que el resto del sector empresarial del país.
Díaz Ferrán está intentando utilizar sus contactos para salvar a sus dos empresas aunque sin interferir las acciones que debe llevar a cabo como presidente de la CEOE. En Air Comet, los pilotos amenazan con ir a la huelga. Llevan tres mese sin cobrar y solo han recibido parte de su salario en concepto de paga extraordinaria de junio. Por su parte,a Viajes Marsans cuya deuda a corto plazo supera los 350 millones, se le busca un comprador sin resultados concretos hasta el momento

Da un intervista ad ABC di Gerardo Díaz Ferrán (uno dei due proprietari del gruppo e presidente della Confindustria spagnola):

«El problema de mis empresas, como las del resto del país, es la falta de financiación»
- Gobierno y sindicatos no han jugado limpio al sacar a relucir los problemas laborales de alguna de sus empresas?

- No sé cuál ha sido su intención, pero lo único que consiguen diciendo que mis empresas tienen problemas es verificar que las empresas españolas tienen problemas, porque mis empresas son como el resto, están sufriendo las consecuencias de un menor consumo (la agencia de viaje Marsans) y de una caída de las ocupaciones (Air Comet). El principal problema que tengo es el mismo que sufren las pequeñas y medianas empresas españolas, que es la falta de financiación. Es lo que está agravando la situación de las empresas y de los trabajadores porque hay que recordar que las empresas son los empresarios y los trabajadores, ya que los sindicatos son otra cosa.

Insomma il gruppo ha seri problemi finanziari. Sicuramente ci sono problemi di liquidità.
Leggendo qua el là sui siti spagnoli si parla di possibili vendite di pezzi del gruppo per far cassa, ma l'impressione è che le eventuali offerte ricevute siano a prezzi da "svendita".

Ah non solo in italia succedono certe cose ? cavoli perchè non arrivano subito ad attaccare anche qui il management... ah no scusa sono spagnoli.. poverini...

Areolinas è stata rinazionalizzata, con condimento di dure accuse del governo argentino al gruppo Marsans di aver depredato la compagnia e di averla caricata di debiti.
Va detto però che il governo non sta facendo certo meglio im questo momento, tant'è che, dopo la rinazionalizzazione, i conti della compagnia stanno affossando sempre di più, malgrado il traffico aereo in America Latina vada meno peggio che nel resto del mondo.

Partners with Argentine Government - Building a Stronger Air Transport Sector
IATA estimates that airlines lost US $10.4 billion in 2008 and will lose a further US $9.0 billion in 2009. Global passenger demand was down 7.2% in June, compared to the same month in 2008. In the same month, the number of premium travelers fell 21.3% compared to previous year levels. Both of these represent slight improvements on May figures which were -9.3% for passenger demand and -23.6% for premium travelers.

(Media-Newswire.com) - Buenos Aires - The International Air Transport Association ( IATA ) highlighted opportunities for greater cooperation to meet unprecedented challenges in Argentina’s air transport sector.
”The global situation of the air transport sector is a disaster,” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO in a speech to JURCA, the association of airlines operating in Argentina. “With industry revenues forecast to fall by 15%, the situation is far more severe than after September 11 when the shock to industry revenues was a 7% fall. Total industry revenues are expected to fall from US $528 billion last year to US $448 billion in 2009. The industry has never faced a bigger financial challenge,” said Bisignani.

IATA estimates that airlines lost US $10.4 billion in 2008 and will lose a further US $9.0 billion in 2009. Global passenger demand was down 7.2% in June, compared to the same month in 2008. In the same month, the number of premium travelers fell 21.3% compared to previous year levels. Both of these represent slight improvements on May figures which were -9.3% for passenger demand and -23.6% for premium travelers. Deep discounting to stimulate demand has amplified the impact of revenues which are falling by as much as 30% in international markets.

Bisignani noted that June cargo figures were down 16.5%, relatively stable with the -17.4% recorded in May and a slight improvement on the performance for December 2008 to March 2009 when cargo demand hovered below -20%.

“We may have reached the bottom in terms of demand. But we have yet to see significant signs of recovery. The industry is in survival mode. Conserving cash, reducing costs and managing capacity are critical,” said Bisignani.

Bisignani also noted that Latin American carriers are outperforming the market with passenger demand down by 4.7% and cargo by 14.2%. The region is still being impacted by weakened confidence in travel as a result of H1N1 fears and heavy discounting is taking its toll on both revenues and profits for the region’s carriers.

“Argentina faces these challenges while the economy is still paying for the debt crisis of 2001. Over 8% of Argentina’s economy and 1.7 million Argentine jobs depend on air transport. I am pleased to see that the government has made a competitive air transport sector an important pillar of national economic policy,” said Bisignani, noting successful meetings with President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner, Minister of Federal Planning Julio De Vido, Secretary of Transportation Juan Pablo Schiavi, and President and CEO of AA2000 Ernesto Gutierrez.

In 2008, IATA worked with local authorities to improve the competitiveness of Argentina’s airports with a 30% discount on airline charges. ANAC, the regulator has also been changed to a civilian organization. “These are major steps in the right direction and create opportunities to further improve the competitiveness of Argentina’s aviation sector. Working together is the key to success in further enhancing Argentina’s competitiveness in air transport,” said Bisignani.

Following the decision to stabilize air services by re-nationalizing Aerolineas Argentinas, IATA agreed to work as a consultant with the Government of Argentina. “We will help in efforts to put Aerolineas Argentinas back on its feet by re-building competitiveness so that it can compete in an open market,” said Bisignani.

“Times have never been tougher for air transport. IATA is here as a partner with global perspective and experience. Argentina is a great example of what can be achieved by working together. The discount agreement between ORSNA, AA2000 and the airlines has addressed major infrastructure problems. We are pleased to broaden our cooperation to act as a consultant to the Government of Argentina. By addressing issues transparently with the cooperation of industry and government, I am confident that we can build a stronger Argentine aviation sector that is greener, safer and profitable,” said Bisignani.

Per Areolinas:

Nationalized Aerolíneas Argentinas remains deep in the red

Argentina’s re-nationalized flag air carrier Aerolíneas Argentina lost in July 48 million US dollars which is “a little bit more” than the same month a year ago when the company belonged to the Spanish tourism group Marsans, according to the company’s current CEO Mariano Recalde.

CEO Recalde anticipates a rebound in revenue when the global airlines crisis is over.
However Recalde attributed the greater losses to the economic crisis and argued that the issue was not in the costs but in the revenue.
“In June 2008 revenue was 90 million US dollars and this year 50 million USD”, said Recalde adding that “June and July are the worst months for airlines in the southern hemisphere”, plus the fact that this year “we had a dramatic drop in winter tourism because of the A/H1N1 virus flu”.
The July loss “just above 48 million USD” and an average red of “33 million USD” admitted by CEO Recalde, with average revenue of 50 million USD in June, are indicating that income is only covering between 50 and 60% of costs.
Nevertheless Recalde insisted in his optimism in the future of the company since “under government management all indicators of Aerolíneas have improved significantly”. He added that when the crisis “which is hitting all airlines of the world is over, revenue is going to increase considerably”.
Furthermore Recalde pointed out “if we also take into account that we have a plan to restructure the company and we are already in the process of renewing the fleet, Aerolíneas is certainly going to become a far more viable air carrier”.
He did however not go as far as to anticipate Aerolíneas could become profitable in spite of all the advances and reforms announced.
“We also have as a national air carrier a serious committed social responsibility to fly to all destinations of the domestic market”.
Recalde concluded pointing to the previous owner and operator of Aerolíneas, Marsans.
“Each time I look further and further into the company’s books I can clearly see that the private management was not efficient for the air carrier, but rather extremely efficient in executing a plan to empty Aerolíneas Argentinas”.
 
Va detto però che il governo non sta facendo certo meglio im questo momento, tant'è che, dopo la rinazionalizzazione, i conti della compagnia stanno affossando sempre di più, malgrado il traffico aereo in America Latina vada meno peggio che nel resto del mondo.

Per citare una frase del film WRZ... todo lo que toca lo destruye...ed il soggetto (qui, non nel film) è lo stato argentino in materia di aviazione civile (...o militare...tanto la differenza è minima).

Tornando alla vicenda Air Comet-Marans, curiosa la frase "Díaz Ferrán está intentando utilizar sus contactos para salvar a sus dos empresas"...
 
Tornando al Grupo Marsans, leggendo gli articoli spagnoli, sembra essere un grande gruppo aziendale che è stato colto dalla crisi nel pieno di ambiziosi (forse troppo?) progetti di espansione, con le sue attività presenti proprio nei settori maggiormente colpiti (turismo e settore alberghiero, trasporti aerei, immobiliare) in un paese, la Spagna, tra quelli che stanno soffrendo maggiormente. Da qui un forte indebitamento, con grossi problemi di rifinanziamento a breve malgrado un consistente patrimonio aziendale.

Tra l'altro nel 2006 si erano già sbarazzati di Air Pullmantur, vendendola a Royal Caribbean. Per quanto riguarda il patrimonio aziendale, non saprei, ma la Hotetur, a parte i resorts Blue Bay, ha anche tanta fuffa.
