Rumor BALPA: in British Airways 90 giorni di esuberi per buona parte del personale navigante, e 1.300-1800 esuberi permanenti.

Ha senso di parlare di 90gg a casa; sugli esuberi non sarei super certo, da un lato IAG non ne parla e dall’altro se pensi a un severance cost di £20k/testa (media fatta da me) parliamo di 23-36m di sterline che sarebbero un cash flow di cui BA potrebbe fare a meno. Magari prepensionano.

Singapore Airlines Fast Forwards Boeing 777-200ER Retirement

bySyd SharmaMarch 15, 2020

Seeing a precipitous drop in demand, Singapore Airlines has opted to retire its 777-200ERs earlier than expected. The move comes as the virus continues to spread globally, forcing airlines to cancel flights and cut costs

An early goodbye

Singapore Airlines currently operates 4 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The aircraft type is the oldest in the airline’s fleet, clocking in at an average of 17.6 years. Prior to schedule changes, the plane was used to service medium-haul routes in Asia. Singapore Airlines plans to replace the aging jet with the newer Boeing 787-10.

Singapore Airlines originally planned to retire the plane in late-May. However, flight cancellations due to the coronavirus seemed to have moved up this timeline. The airline has now scheduled the plane’s last flight on 20th April. This could be subject to further change, as more adjustments to services can be expected in the coming months.

Singapore Airlines has a very young fleet, with an average age of just 6.6 years. This is due to the airline’s commitment to continuous fleet modernization. The airline has inducted a number of A350s and 787-10s in the last few years, which has taken over the long and medium-haul routes from planes like the 777s and A330s. The carrier currently maintains a fleet of 137 aircraft, with a whopping 48 A350-900s in service.
Cost-cutting measures taking effect

Singapore Airlines is not the first carrier to retire its older aircraft early in light of the coronavirus outbreak. American Airlines has opted to retire its 757s and 767s early and Delta has done the same for its MD-88s. In a bid to cut costs in times of reduced revenue, airlines have been forced to let go of their older, less-efficient aircraft early. However, unlike many other airlines, Singapore Airlines has not opted to ground its super-jumbo A380s.

The virus has forced Singapore Airlines to cut thousands of flights and scale back its operations worldwide. Singapore Airlines and SilkAir have seen a 15.6% reduction in capacity overall, while their hub airport, Changi, has seen a 33% drop in overall passenger movement. These reductions have been on routes across the world, with Asia impacted the most significantly in recent months.

Passenger demand is not expected to bounce back until the virus is contained, and it’s even possible that it will extend past virus containment. Unfortunately, this will force carriers to cut more services. We may also see more carriers collapse as we saw with European regional carrier Flybe.
Overall

It’s always sad to see airlines retire legacy aircraft from their fleet. The 777 has historically been Singapore Airlines’ workhorse. The airline even had the largest fleet of the type at one time. However, the coronavirus has forced airlines to dramatically cut costs in times of reduced passenger demand. With the situation only getting worse, we are likely to see more airlines shelve their older aircraft as the aviation industry goes through its most turbulent time, possibly, ever.

Alcuni giorni fa quando è stato dichiarato lo stato di emergenza nel nord italia, molti paesi hanno bloccato gli italiani e difiniti come untori da evitare, adesso sono tutti con noi con messaggi di solidarietà illuminazioni facciate e muri con bandiera italiana

Doppie facce.

EASYJET STATEMENT - COVID-19 UPDATE



Due to the unprecedented level of travel restrictions being imposed by governments in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and significantly reduced levels of customer demand, easyJet has undertaken further significant cancellations. These actions will continue on a rolling basis for the foreseeable future and could result in the grounding of the majority of the easyJet fleet.

easyJet will continue to operate rescue flights for short periods where we can, in order to repatriate customers.

To help mitigate the impact from COVID-19 we are taking every action to remove cost and non-critical expenditure from the business at every level. Aircraft groundings will remove significant levels of variable costs.

easyJet maintains a strong balance sheet including a £1.6bn cash balance, an undrawn $500m Revolving Credit Facility, unencumbered aircraft worth in excess of £4bn and a large and valuable slot portfolio. easyJet has no debt re-financings due until 2022 and is in ongoing discussions with liquidity providers who recognise our strength of balance sheet and business model.

European aviation faces a precarious future and there is no guarantee that the European airlines, along with all the benefits it brings for people, the economy and business, will survive what could be a long-term travel freeze and the risks of a slow recovery. Whether it does or not will depend significantly on European airlines maintaining access to liquidity, including that enabled by governments across Europe.

easyJet continues to work closely with the authorities and is following the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation and EASA to ensure the health and wellbeing of our people and customers.

Outlook

At this stage, given the level of continued uncertainty, it is not possible to provide financial guidance for the remainder of the FY20 financial year.
 
Cali drammatici in borsa per i titoli legati al turismo e alle compagnie aeree, tratto da Corriere.it:

Tra i titoli più colpiti il colosso dei viaggi Tui (-38%), EasyJet (-32%) e International Airlines, già British Airways e Iberia, in calo del 26,63%, mentre Air France cede il 19%.
 
Ok, però una volta che atterri cosa fai? Ritorni indietro? Perdonatemi non comprendo come possano esserci voli se poi è precluso l'ingresso nel paese. Magari ci sono dei casi particolari con delle eccezioni.

Rimpatrio di cittadini US?
