comunque qualcosa dovrà per forza accadere nel 2013 : scadenza del lock-up e compagnia che ha bisogno di liquidità fanno presagire che qualcosa si muoverà
Hogan (Etihad) guarda a un' alleanza con Alitalia
- Autore Discussione DusCgn
- Data d'inizio
Dall'intervista di Hogan sembra che questa super JV sia un mezzo per integrarsi e legarsi commercialmente superando cosí i rapporti fra membri UE e non UE.A margine EY pare interessata ad ampliare la sua partecipazione in minoranza ma probabilmente significatica nei patti parasociali in diverse compagnie.
Con un socio forte ed in una JV molto importante siamo sicuri che molti capitani fuggano portandosi a casa una quoticina? Per loro potrebbe essere interessante rimanere nell'azionariato.

Sarebbe più opportuno farla in Viale della Moschea 85 la veglia di preghiera. Di venerdì magari.
Mah, DL sembra molto impegnata ad investire i suoi soldi in Virgin Atlantic di questi tempi: se il suo acquisto (si parla del 49%, massimo per una compagnia non-EU) fosse confermato, l'esborso lascerebbe DL almeno per un po' tranquilla per altre acquisizioni, mentre diventerebbe molto impegnata sul tema "come organizzare le attivita' a London Heathrow"...
Alitalia, Etihad Airways and Abu Dhabi International Airport celebrate direct Rome-Abu Dhabi services
Posted Wed 05 Dec 2012 03:03:59 pm in News, Technology & IT | By Dubib.com News Desk
Flight arrival ceremony attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, UAE Minister for Foreign Trade, His Excellency Giorgio Starace, Italian Ambassador to the UAE, and senior executives from Etihad Airways, Alitalia and ADAC.
Onward codeshare connections for Etihad Airways customers from Rome to Athens, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva, Venice and Zurich.
Codeshare connections for Alitalia customers over Abu Dhabi to Bahrain, Muscat, Johannesburg, Bangkok, Melbourne and Sydney.
Alitalia, Italy’s flag carrier has begun direct services from Rome to Abu Dhabi with a celebratory flight to the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) arriving last night.
Flight AZ854 touched down at Abu Dhabi International Airport at 7.55pm local time and was greeted by a traditional water canon salute.
Also greeting the flight were H.E. Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, UAE Minister for Foreign Trade, H.E. Giorgio Starace, Italian Ambassador to the UAE, H. E. Ali Majed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), and senior executives from Etihad Airways.
Alitalia are operating the new flights in conjunction with codeshare partner Etihad Airways. The launch of the new direct Rome-Abu Dhabi service follows last August’s announcement that the Italian carrier would fly four weekly return Airbus A330 services between the two capitals.
Welcoming the flight to Abu Dhabi International Airport, H. E. Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, UAE Minister for Foreign Trade, said: “It is always a pleasure to see the relationship between the UAE and its friends growing into actual business ventures and economic cooperation. Alitalia’s decision to come to Abu Dhabi demonstrates the capital’s growing importance as a trade and tourism hub in the Middle East. Abu Dhabi is looking forward to further deepening such opportunities in ways which are beneficial to all parties.”
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “Today’s flight is yet another positive milestone in our expanding partnership with Alitalia. It underscores our commitment to grow the partnership by providing this new and fantastic proposition for both airlines' business and leisure customers, giving them direct access to Rome and Abu Dhabi respectively, and beyond across both networks. In addition, it allows customers to earn and burn frequent flyer miles on both airlines' combined networks. We look forward to further developing our relationship and exploring more codeshare opportunities in the future.”
H. E. Ali Majed Al Mansoori, Chairman of ADAC, said: “Abu Dhabi is witnessing continuous growth in air traffic movements as a result of joint Government and corporate’ efforts to provide world-class airports and aviation services, and the position Abu Dhabi holds as a key connecting destination in the region. ADAC is proud to welcome Alitalia to Abu Dhabi International Airport and is committed to offering the airline unparalleled service, whilst welcoming Italian passengers to the world-class city of Abu Dhabi.”
Andrea Tucci, Alitalia Vice President Alliances & Network Agreements, said: “Today marks the first time Alitalia lands at Abu Dhabi International Airport, one of the most important hubs in the world. The new Alitalia Rome-Abu Dhabi route strengthens the partnership between Alitalia and Etihad Airways, developed in December 2009 with a codesharing agreement. Thanks to this new flight, Italian travellers now have the opportunity to travel to the UAE with a direct link from Rome and, via an easy connection at Abu Dhabi International Airport with Etihad Airways, to many important tourist destinations across Australia, Thailand, Oman, Bahrain and South Africa. We’re extremely proud that these four weekly flights will be operated by a brand new Alitalia Airbus A330. On board our aircraft our customers will be able to experience our “Magnifica” business class service, the top of its category globally, and savour our delicious onboard menu which has recently been awarded “Best Airline Cuisine” for the third year in a row by American Global Traveller magazine.
Flights from Abu Dhabi depart at 8:15am on Thursdays and Sundays, and at 2:25am on Mondays and Wednesdays. Flights from Rome depart at 9:45pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays and at 11:15am on Tuesdays and Sundays.
The split schedule ensures maximum connectivity over Abu Dhabi International Airport – Etihad Airways’ hub – to codeshare destinations such as Bahrain, Muscat, Johannesburg, Bangkok, Melbourne and Sydney.
Equally, the new service will ensure efficient codeshare connectivity beyond Rome to the cities of Athens, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva, Venice and Zurich.
In addition to the codeshare with Alitalia, Etihad Airways has 40 other codeshare agreements in place with airlines across the world. Codeshare partnerships, along with equity acquisitions and organic growth, form the three pillars of Etihad Airways’ expansion plans.

Andrea Tucci, Alitalia: «Importante la partnership con Etihad»
Giovedì, 06 Dicembre 2012
«E' un grande asset puntare su destinazioni che per noi rappresentano un notevole investimento e prospettiva condividendo le strategie di espansione con un partner affidabile come Etihad». Con queste parole Andrea Tucci, vice president alliances & network agreements di Alitalia ha enfatizzato l'importanza dell'accordo che porta la compagnia aerea a coprire le due rotte Milano e Roma per Abu Dhabi, in collaborazione con Etihad Airways. «Fermo restando l'appartenenza a SkyTeam - prosegue Tucci - il nostro interesse è raggiungere accordi per l’espansione del network che ci diano anche la possibilità di proporre destinazioni “beyond” che non raggiungiamo direttamente. L’accordo con Etihad ci vede impegnati sia con la parte operativa che con quella commerciale per una sinergia completa». Il traffico di Alitalia sulla rotta pesa per un 30% circa su passeggeri fra Italia e Abu Dhabi, per un 65% sulle destinazioni “beyond Abu Dhabi” e per un 5% sul “beyond Italia”.

ma è normale che ci siano A/V di Etihad sui voli Alitalia?
Mi sembra emblematico di una partnership dalle basi solide.
Alitalia gives wings to direct flights between Rome and Abu Dhabi
Four weekly direct flights between the two capitals

Abu Dhabi: Italy’s national carrier Alitalia has started direct flight services from Rome to Abu Dhabi, with the arrival of the first flight at Abu Dhabi International Airport on Tuesday evening.
The flight was greeted by Shaikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, UAE Minister for Foreign Trade, Giorgio Starace, Italian Ambassador to the UAE, Ali Majed Al Manoori, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Airports Company and Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer.
Alitalia will fly four weekly return Airbus A330 services between Rome and Abu Dhabi. Onward codeshare connections for Etihad Airways customers will be from Rome to Athens, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva, Venice and Zurich. Codeshare connections for Alitalia customers will be over Abu Dhabi to Bahrain, Muscat, Johannesburg, Bangkok, Melbourne and Sydney.
Etihad Airways and Alitalia prior to this have had a codeshare partnership on the basis of Etihad’s Abu Dhabi-Milan operations.
“What we have now is that they [Alitalia] fly from Rome here and we have our code on their Rome flights and from Rome and beyond to different European destinations. On the other side, they will fly the Alitalia code and beyond Abu Dhabi to serve destinations,” Baumgartner told reporters. “It [Rome] is for us now a new destination. We didn’t have any code or any marketing to Rome before, but it’s not our own aircraft, it’s the Alitalia aircraft but we have our crew on board as well.”
“The connectivity over Abu Dhabi from key Asian markets into Italy is an important traffic airflow and Abu Dhabi is in the middle so it’s an ideal hub to connect those together,” he added.
With the addition of Alitalia, ADAC currently lists 54 airlines as conducting flight operations in and out of Abu Dhabi International Airport. Al Mansoori told Gulf News that the addition of Rome to the network is of great importance for both Abu Dhabi and Italy.
“There is definitely a plan and a strategy to expand our airline network, but it’s difficult to put a number and a time on it,” he said. “However, we expect to reach 70 airlines in the next two to three years,” he added.
Al Mansoori said that in the short term, Abu Dhabi as a destination is going to be a great attraction to travellers, especially with new museums that are scheduled to come online on Saadiyat Island, one that would increase the flow of travellers into the city.
For 2012, ADAC had projected that the number of passengers flying through Abu Dhabi International Airport would reach 12 million passengers.
“So far, we’ve reached 14 million,” he said.
