Dubai: Cost-cutting measures combined with lower jet fuel prices and increased productivity helped Emirates airline record an unprecedented 415.7 per cent jump in net profits to $964 million for the financial year ending March 2010, up from $187 million a year ago.

The airline carried 20.8 per cent more passengers last year, totalling 27.5 million and generating revenues of $11.8 billion, roughly the same as in the previous year.

Emirates Group, which operates the airline, reported a 248 per cent growth in profits to $1.1 billion for the 2009-10 financial year, up from $325 million in 2008-09 and bucking the worldwide trend marred by low yields and losses.
 
Emirates sofre, ma aumenta la flotta

May 12, 2010
Emirates, the Arab world's largest carrier, said it expected passenger and cargo volumes to rise this year and would order more aircraft after posting a strong increase in full-year profit.

Middle Eastern carriers had the biggest increase in passenger demand among their peers in March, with a rise of 25.9 percent, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said last month.

"The group will continue to achieve double digit growth through 2010-2011," Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum, Emirates chairman and chief executive, told reporters.

The airline, which has USD$55 billion in orders with Airbus and Boeing, said it would take delivery of seven additional A380s and one Boeing 777 in 2010-2011.

Sheikh Ahmed said the airline planned to announce new aircraft orders, likely at the Farnborough air show in England, and was in talks with both manufacturers. The show, a traditional venue for announcing aircraft orders, will run from July 19 to 25.

Financing for the new purchases was secure, Sheikh Ahmed said.

"We have a good number of financial institutions queuing up to finance deliveries for this year. We don't have any problem," he said.

The Dubai government-owned airline, the largest customer for the Airbus A380 superjumbo, said last month it planned to expand its fleet and was ready to launch an initial public offering whenever the Dubai government gave it a green light.

"Emirates has significant expansion plans which should continue to drive passenger growth," said Abid Riaz, director of research at EFG-Hermes in Dubai.

The carrier said it made a net profit of AED3.5 billion dirhams (USD$952.9 million) in the year ended March 31, up from AED686 million in the prior year.

Revenue inched up 0.4 percent to AED43.5 billion, with cargo volumes revenue declining 8.1 percent.

The carrier, which started in 1985 with two planes, has grown to rival airlines such as Qantas and Singapore Airlines for passenger traffic between Europe and East Asia.

Airlines in the Middle East saw the highest growth rate, 11.2 percent, in air passenger traffic for 2009, IATA said. Their peers in other parts of the world are expected to post a total losses of USD$2.8 billion in 2010, it said.

Sheikh Ahmed also said the carrier would be willing to sell a stake in state-controlled SriLankan Airlines "at the right price."

In 2008, after opting not to renew a management contract for SriLankan Airlines, Emirates said it was looking to sell all or part of its 43.6 percent stake in the carrier, a holding which had previously been valued at about USD$150 million.

The carrier said in February it had been approached by the Sri Lankan government for the stake.

Emirates to recruit 700 pilots in next 18 months
By Murdo Morrison

After largely closing its doors to new recruits during the 2009 downturn, Emirates plans to hire more than 700 pilots over the next 18 months to support new routes and aircraft.

The airline has embarked on a recruitment roadshow that will take in much of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. It kicked off on 4 June in Madrid, one of six new destinations this year. It has already begun services from Dubai to Tokyo and Amsterdam, with Prague, Baghdad and Dakar to follow.

Emirates - which has a 147-strong fleet with six aircraft due to arrive this year, part of 144 on order - traditionally recruits only first officers.

Capt Alan Stealey, divisional senior vice-president flight operations, says Emirates is recruiting at a time when much of the industry is cutting back. The airline recently took delivery of its ninth Airbus A380 and will accept number 10 within days.


"That's two giant aircraft to staff in the space of a fortnight," he says. "By the end of the year we will have recruited more than 250 pilots. Next year, we're looking to double that figure and recruit 500."

Praticamente ha trasportato il 21% di passeggeri e ha ottenuto gli stessi ricavi.
Deve avere stracciato completamente le tariffe! (ma evidentemente se ha ottenuto dei profitti ha costi veramente bassi).
Così, a occhio, però, il 20€ in più id passeggeri mi sembra veramente tanto: è vero che gli sono arrivati gli A380, anche qualche 777 ("solo" 13) ma ne aveva già parecchi prima, in più con il calo di traffico a livello mondiale...
 
è un periodo di ripresa per le linee aeree, abbiamo già letto di DL che riprenderà parecchi aerei messi al prato (o meglio dire alla sabbia dei deserti dell'arizona) e assumerà nuovi equipaggi
 
Nell'ambiente aeronautico si mormora che gli aerei di Emirates le vengano "regalati" dallo sceicco... quindi niente costi...
Ovviamente sono solo rumours

COLOMBO, Jun 04, 2010 (AFP) - Sri Lanka is on the verge of buying back the 43.6 percent stake in its national carrier held by Dubai's Emirates Airlines, SriLankan Airlines' chairman said Friday.

"The deal is close to being finalised," Nishanta Wickremesinghe told reporters. "It is now between the government and Emirates."

Emirates, the Middle East's largest carrier, bought its stake in SriLankan for 70 million dollars in 1998, in line with a privatisation of the airline, which was then known as Air Lanka.

Although the Sri Lanka government retained a 51 percent stake, Emirates was given management control of the airline over a 10-year period.

When that period ended in 2008, Emirates valued its holding at around 150 million dollars.

Wickremesinghe did not give details of the buy-back deal, but airline sources quoted a figure of between 55-65 million dollars.

"Papers are being exchanged and a deal should be ready soon," an airline source who declined to be named said. "The government wants to finance the purchase through at least two of its profit-making commercial enterprises."

SriLankan posted a loss of 10 billion rupees (87 million dollars) in the year ended March, hurt by falling tourist arrivals and the global recession.

Emirates Air Game

Emirates Air game-changing growth splurge rattles rivals
June 25, 2010, 4:16pm

Emirates, the biggest international airline, is rattling rivals in Europe and Asia with a growth splurge that may be as game-changing for long-haul carriers as the expansion of Ryanair Holdings Plc and Southwest Airlines Co.

The 25-year-old company is building up a fleet of 90 Airbus SAS A380 aircraft with 45,000 seats and operating costs the manufacturer says are 12 percent lower than Boeing Co.’s latest 747. That poses a threat to European carriers that specialize in the same long-distance transfer traffic, British Airways Plc Chief Executive Office Willie Walsh said in an interview.

Emirates’ latest order for 32 A380s worth $11 billion, announced this month, will give it 70 more superjumbos than any other airline, funneling price-sensitive passengers through its Dubai hub in a challenge to network carriers including Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Air France-KLM Group and Singapore Airlines Ltd. Competitors say the company is benefiting from government ownership and that they can’t compete with its purchasing power.

“It’s a miracle that Emirates already has more intercontinental seats than Air France and British Airways combined,” said Wolfgang Mayrhuber, CEO of Cologne, Germany- based Lufthansa. “It took us 40 years to get 30 747s in the air in one of the biggest global economies, so one must assume that this is an investment for the world.”

Emirates ranked only 24th among international airlines as recently as 2000, putting it on a par with Sabena SA, the state- owned Belgian carrier that went bust a year later.

In the intervening period the Gulf carrier has increased traffic sixfold, overtaking Lufthansa last year to become the biggest carrier for international flights. British Airways, ranked top in 2000, has suffered a 5 percent drop and stands fourth. The International Air Transport Association counts Air France and KLM as separate airlines.

“We always planned to grow, we were just never able to put our finger on how quickly,” Maurice Flanagan, the founding CEO at Emirates in 1985 and currently executive chairman, said in an interview. “Now we’re short of capacity all the time.”

Rivals should follow the Emirates example in buying more large planes to reduce expenses per head, the executive said. (Bloomberg)

Secondo me i costi veramente bassi sono riconducibili a questi due macro motivi:

1. Aeromobili di proprietà
2. Nessun costo per derivati (fuel)
