Etihad e compagnie aeree nella sua sfera d'influenza

Chiedi al Presidente del Consiglio italiano ed al Parlamento tutto che cambi la normativa di riferimento.
Potrai anche essere basito, ma da un punto di vista legale la composizione dell'azionariato non e' una barzelletta. Soci con una forte minoranza hanno posti nel CdA, il CdA rappresenta la societa', a prescindere dalla proprieta'. Anche se alcuni membri sono nominato da interessi precisi (di solito chi detiene una grossa percentuale dell'azionariato - anche se di minoranza - ha posti ne CdA), questi membri rappresentano la societa'. La societa', non la proprieta' della societa'.
Questo e' lo status legale. Io sono basito da tanta ignoranza
Penso che a difendere gli interessi di AZ non potesse andare persona più adatta.Concordo. Più legittimato del vice presidente, che vogliono il papa?ovviamente, il vicepresidente in questo caso è espressione di un socio, forte, ma cmq di minoranza. E rappresenta la compagnia in quel meeting.
Poi, agli occhi degli altri partner, Hogan è uno di peso, perché manager esperto e CEO di una corazzata che nessuno vuole scontentare. Ma questo va solo a vantaggio di Alitalia e del suo potere negoziale in questo meeting
Infatti. Senza mancare di rispetto a nessuno, immaginati la differenza nelle discussioni per la JV, quando qualche tempo fa a rappresentare Alitalia si sedeva Andrea Ragnetti a capo di una compagnia piena di debiti e dal futuro in certo, ed ora ci va Hogan. Credo che faccia un po' di differenza nelle mediazioni e decisioni in seno alla JV. Ovviamente a favore di Alitalia.
Infatti, AZ è probabilmente l'investimento più importante in prospettiva per EY e giustamente Hogan si muove in prima persona.
Non sarebbe cambiato nulla nemmeno se ci fossero andati Cassano o LCDM, essendo entrambi in una posizione reale di sudditanza rispetto a Hogan. Rimane la certezza che in colloqui di rilevanza globale, Hogan anteporrà sempre gli interessi di EY a quelli di AZ e laddove dovesse esserci un conflitto di interessi tra queste due compagnie, sarà sempre e comunque quella italiana ad essere sacrificata. Ma arrivati a questo punto non può essere che così.
Se dal punto di vista formale ovviamente la presenza di Hogan non fa una piega, dal punto di vista sostanziale la dice lunga quanto EY considera il management italiota, praticamente pari a 0 e aggiungo fa bene.

North American flight schedule change set to boost connectivity with Indian subcontinent
26 Jan 2015 14:00
Etihad Airways has announced a number of schedule changes to the airline’s flights between its Abu Dhabi hub and Chicago, New York, and Toronto, which will start on Sunday 29 March 2015.
The move will provide convenient schedule options for UAE passengers travelling to North America, enhance overall connectivity for flights to and from the Indian Subcontinent (ISC), and establish new connections to key markets such as Dhaka, Kathmandu, and Kolkata.
The new times also all connect with key Etihad Airways’ ISC destinations which include Colombo, Delhi, Karachi, Lahore, and Mumbai.
The daily EY151 flight to Chicago will move from a 9.30am departure to 3.40am and the three flights a week Toronto service, EY141, will depart at 2.50am rather than the current time 10.25am.
Return flight EY150 from Chicago will arrive in Abu Dhabi at 12.20pm, and EY140 from Toronto will arrive at 12.05pm, which will allow for faster connection times through the hub at a non-peak period.
The new schedule will see the return flight from New York, EY102, depart JFK three hours later than it currently does to ensure its arrival in Abu Dhabi to meet the early afternoon bank of flights to the ISC.
Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways’ Chief Strategy and Planning Officer, said: “Demand for travel between the Indian Subcontinent and North America continues to grow year-on-year and we’re delighted to change our schedule in order to support this requirement and to increase the travel options for our guests.
“The new schedule will create a more even balance of Etihad Airways’ flights to North America across the early morning and mid-morning banks. This will result in fewer passengers transiting through the hub at peak periods and will enhance the customer experience.”
Passengers on the retimed outbound Chicago flight will continue to be processed through United States Preclearance at Abu Dhabi Airport, following the recent expansion of the facility’s hours of operation to include early morning flights to the US.
US Preclearance allows passengers to conveniently pass through all required checks including US customs, immigration and security while in Abu Dhabi before they board their flight, enabling them to avoid queues on arrival in the US and arrive as domestic passengers.
Passengers on all Etihad Airways flights from Abu Dhabi to the United States, which also includes Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York JFK, and Washington DC, are processed through US preclearance.
The schedule changes for Chicago and Toronto have been made in conjunction with Etihad Airways’ key partners, American Airlines and Air Canada in North America, and Jet Airways in India.
The partner airlines will implement new codeshare flights as well as re-accommodate guests who are affected by the new schedule.

Etihad Airways (EY, Abu Dhabi Int'l) has once more increased its stake in Virgin Australia (VA, Brisbane Int'l) roughly a month after the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) gave it the greenlight to boost its shareholding past the 22.9% threshold.
A filing with the Australian Securities Exchange shows that following the acquisition of 45.8million ordinary shares valued at AUD22.17million (USD17.54million) in total, the Emirati carrier now holds a 24.2% stake in the Australian airline.
Etihad is now the second largest shareholder in Virgin behind Air New Zealand (NZ, Auckland Int'l) with 25%. Other major shareholders include Singapore Airlines (SQ, Singapore Changi) with 23% and Virgin Group with 10%.

Etihad Airways Reports Strong Performance In 2014
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, carried a record number of passengers and cargo in 2014, marking its strongest operational performance to date.
Almost 14.8 million passengers flew with Etihad Airways last year, a significant increase of 23 per cent over 2013 levels. The growth in passenger demand continued to outstrip the airline’s capacity increase, highlighting the strength of its long-term growth strategy.
In total, Etihad Airways carried more than 74 per cent of the 19.9 million passengers who travelled through Abu Dhabi International Airport in 2014. With the addition of the airline’s equity partners that operate flights into the UAE capital, the combined total rises to a significant 82 per cent of passenger traffic at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “Our business model, which focuses on organic network growth, codeshare partnerships and minority equity investments in other airlines, continued to yield positive results in 2014 and surpassed our double-digit targets for passenger and cargo growth.”
Etihad Airways introduced 10 additional destinations to its global route network in 2014, with new services launched to Medina, Jaipur, Los Angeles and Zurich in the first half of the year, and Perth, Rome, Yerevan, Phuket, San Francisco and Dallas in the second half of the year. In addition, frequencies were increased on 23 existing routes across the world in 2014.
Building on its organic growth, the airline also expanded its codeshare and equity partnerships last year. These partnerships delivered over 3.5 million passengers onto Etihad Airways flights, an increase of 40 per cent over the 2.5 million passengers in 2013.
New codeshare agreements were launched with Air Europa, jetBlue, Philippine Airlines, GOL, SAS, Hong Kong Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas, while Etihad Airways’ existing codeshares with South African Airways, Alitalia and Jet Airways were significantly expanded.
In August 2014, the airline announced a €560 million investment in New Alitalia to acquire a 49 per cent shareholding in the carrier, a 75 per cent interest in Alitalia Loyalty, which operates the MilleMiglia frequent flier program, and five pairs of slots at London’s Heathrow Airport, which will be leased back to Alitalia. The transaction received European Commission merger clearance in November 2014 and became effective on 31 December 2014.
Alitalia is the latest addition to Etihad Airways’ equity partners network, which also includes airberlin, Air Serbia, Air Seychelles, Aer Lingus, Jet Airways and Virgin Australia. An investment is being formalised in Swiss-based Etihad Regional, operated by Darwin Airline.
In addition, Etihad Airways Partners was unveiled last year to offer passengers more choice through improved networks and schedules, plus enhanced frequent flyer benefits. The partnership also builds greater synergies for participating airlines, which currently include airberlin, Air Serbia, Air Seychelles, Etihad Airways, Etihad Regional, Jet Airways and NIKI.
Etihad Airways also reported strong cargo growth for 2014, with 568,648 tonnes of freight and mail flown in total, a 17 per cent increase year-on-year. The airline accounted for 89.6 per cent of cargo imports, exports and transfers at Abu Dhabi airport last year.
Over the course of last year, Etihad Cargo enhanced its global reach by offering bellyhold capacity on Etihad Airways’ 10 new passenger destinations and expanding its freighter services to new markets such as Dar es Salaam, Entebbe, Hanoi and Moscow. A freighter service was also launched from Milan to Bogotá and from Bogotá to Amsterdam, following an agreement with Avianca Cargo, the cargo division of Latin American carrier Avianca.
Etihad Airways’ fleet consisted of 110 aircraft at the end of 2014 (+24 per cent year-on-year), with an average age of 5.5 years. The airline took delivery of its first Airbus A380 and Boeing 787-9 in December, with both state-of-the-art aircraft offering new standards in cabin interiors, together with considerable fuel efficiency and environmental improvements.
An additional nine Airbus aircraft (two A330-200s, three A321s, three A320s and one A330-200F) and six Boeing aircraft (one 777-300ER, five 777-200LRs) were received in 2014, while further leased capacity was also added to enhance the airline’s rapid growth.
Mr Hogan added: “We enter 2015 as a stronger, more dynamic airline that will continue to enhance the growth of Abu Dhabi as one of the world’s emerging aviation hubs.”

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, yesterday introduced its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner into commercial service.
The first flight, operated by a Boeing 787-9, departed Abu Dhabi at 02.15 as flight EY23 for the 7 hour 25 minute flight to Düsseldorf, Germany. The flight arrived at 06.40 the same morning. The return service from Düsseldorf to Abu Dhabi departed at 10.20 with a scheduled arrival time of 19.50 in Abu Dhabi.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the departure gate to mark the occasion, attended on behalf of Etihad Airways by Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer, Khaled Al Mehairbi, Senior Vice President Government Aero Political Affairs, Richard Hill, Chief Operations Officer, and Ali Al Shamsi, Vice President Abu Dhabi Hub.
Special gift packs were handed to guests on the inaugural flight, including luggage tags, passport holders and commemorative B787 certificates.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is a tremendous milestone for Etihad Airways. The Boeing 787 is without doubt the most technologically advanced aircraft in its class. It will provide us with a clear reduction in operating costs and carbon emissions, at maximum reliability and efficiency. The dimensions and unique features of this aircraft have allowed us to customise it with the most innovative and sophisticated cabins, providing our guests with levels of comfort and attention to detail not previously enjoyed by the modern airline traveller.”
Etihad Airways revolutionary new B787 interiors feature 8 First Suites, 28 Business Studios and 199 Economy Smart Seats, offering superior levels of comfort, entertainment and in-flight connectivity. On-board décor and lighting has been inspired by contemporary modern Arabian design, complementing the new ‘Facets of Abu Dhabi’ design identity recently introduced by the airline.
Etihad Airways’ order for two variants of the B787 (-9 and -10), is one of the largest for the type, totalling 71 aircraft. The airline will place the aircraft on other key medium and long-haul routes such as Washington DC, Mumbai, Moscow and Brisbane, with more destinations being added as the airline takes delivery of more of the type. The airline will also begin taking delivery of B787s in a two-class configuration from 2016.
The wide-body Boeing 787-9 is a stretched version of the advanced medium to long-range twin engine B787-8, with a range of up to 8,300 nautical miles and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85. It is 206 feet in length and has a wingspan of 197 feet.
The lightweight composite materials used in the aircraft mean that the B787 uses up to 30% less fuel than other aircraft in its category and as a result produces a comparable reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The B787 also uses a number of new technologies to ensure that the aircraft’s noise footprint is more that 60% smaller than other aircraft of its size.

The wide-body Boeing 787-9 is a stretched version of the advanced medium to long-range twin engine B787-8, with a range of up to 8,300 nautical miles and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85. It is 206 feet in length and has a wingspan of 197 feet.
The lightweight composite materials used in the aircraft mean that the B787 uses up to 30% less fuel than other aircraft in its category and as a result produces a comparable reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The B787 also uses a number of new technologies to ensure that the aircraft’s noise footprint is more that 60% smaller than other aircraft of its size.

Segnali positivi da Jet Airways. Postato il primo trimestre in attivo dal 2012.
Jet Airways Edges To Q3 Operating Profit
February 6, 2015
Jet Airways reported its first operating profit since the last three months of 2012, after benefiting from a drop in fuel costs and a rise in revenue.
Operating profit reached INR30 million rupees (USD$486,000) for the three months ended December 31. That compared with a loss of INR2.84 billion rupees a year earlier.
The halving of oil prices since June has provided financial relief to Indian carriers, most of which have lost money for the last two years because of low-fare competition as well as being subject to some of the world's highest operating and fuel costs.
The industry has also benefited from a cut in capacity by SpiceJet after the budget airline ran out of money in December.
Jet, India's second-biggest airline by market share after privately held IndiGo, is the country's first carrier to report third-quarter results.
The airline, 24 percent owned by Abu Dhabi's Etihad, last year laid out a three-year restructuring plan centred on cutting costs and boosting efficiency, to return to profitability having not reported an annual profit since 2007.
"While the global and local operating conditions have eased, we only expect to see the real impact of the lower fuel price in the next quarter," said Cramer Ball, chief executive of Jet Airways, in a statement.
Aviation consultancy CAPA said in a report last month that Indian carriers could see total savings of USD$400 million in 2015 from lower fuel costs.
That, together with an improved outlook for India's economy and lower sales taxes, could mark the beginning of a structural turnaround for the sector, according to CAPA, although that does not guarantee profitability because competition for fares remains fierce.
Mumbai-based Jet reported a net profit in its second quarter only due to one-off gains, including from the sale of its frequent flyer programme.
