La corsa di Emirates e di Dubai è finita?


Buongiorno, non so se sia il forum giusto per domandarlo.
Attraverso un video report sull'economy in a380 su emirates, appare ad un certo punto un inquadratura sui nuovi IFE dove è evidentemente esposta una telecamera interna che da su ogni passeggero!
Mi chiedo come sia possibile e mi chiedo se sia legale non avvisare i passeggeri!
Telecamera di sicurezza?
L'inquadratura sulla telecamera avviene al minuto 1:40
Grazie in anticipo

Per esperienza personale non credo quelle telecamere siano utilizzate. Per il resto, su A380 ci sono parecchie telecamere su pannelli, porte, lounge, etc. per motivi di sicurezza e sono accessibili solo da flight deck.
 
Fammi capire se ho capito bene vorresti un avviso per ogni volta che ti inquadra una telecamera di sicurezza?

Emirates airline profits sink 82% amid ‘destabilising events’

Emirates airline said full-year 2016-17 profit plunged 82 per cent to Dh1.3bn ($340m) as an erosion in travel demand delivered one of the Dubai carrier’s “most challenging years to date.”

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates’ chairman, said the airline’s business capabilities and brand had “helped us to weather the destabilising events which have impacted travel demand during the year.”

He said the government-owned airline had been hit by the UK’s vote to leave the EU, terror attacks in Europe, new US policies on air travel to the US, currency devaluation and a sluggish oil and gas industry.

Emirates, delivering its 29th year of consecutive profit, said it managed to keep revenues stable at Dh85.1bn, despite significant currency devaluations against the US dollar and “fare adjustments due to a highly competitive business environment.”

The airline said “the relentless rise” of the US dollar against currencies in most of Emirates’ key markets had a Dh2.1bn impact on revenues.

Operating costs rose 8 per cent over the previous financial year as a slightly lower cost of jet fuel was offset by the rising expense of a capacity increase to bring fuel costs up by six percent.

Emirates carried a record 56.1m passengers, up 8 per cent, which it said demonstrated “the consumer desire to fly on Emirates’ state-of-the-art aircraft, and via efficient routings through its Dubai hub.”

But passenger seat factor – measuring how many seats are filled on flights – declined to 75.1 per cent on “lingering economic uncertainty and strong competition in many markets.”

The airline increased capacity by seven per cent in 2016-17 over the previous year as it received 35 new aircraft – including 19 A380s and 16 Boeing 777-300ERs – while phasing out 27 older aircraft.

Emirates launched six new passenger destinations: Fort Lauderdale, Hanoi, Newark, Yangon, Yinchuan and Zhengzhou.

The Emirates Group, which also includes airport services, reported a Dh2.5bn profit, down 70 per cent on the previous financial year.

Emirates will not pay a dividend this year to its shareholder, the Investment Corporation of Dubai, the government’s state holding company.

Dubai puts airport funding in place

The government of Dubai has put in place $3 billion of credit facilities for the future development of both Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC) airports.
Dubai International is the world’s busiest international airport, while Dubai World Central, also known as Al Maktoum International, will eventually be the world’s largest airport in terms of passenger volumes. It will also become Dubai’s primary airport, with Emirates Airline moving there from 2025. By that point, DWC will be able to serve up to 146 million passengers annually.
Dubai’s Department of Finance (DOF), the Investment Corp. of Dubai and Dubai Aviation City Corp., announced May 14 they had signed agreements putting in place the funding facilities. These represent the initial tranche of financing as part of a long-term funding platform established for Dubai Airports. HSBC acted as the financial advisor.
“Dubai remains firmly committed to the development of DWC and to growth of the global aviation sector, and this initial $3 billion transaction to support Dubai’s ambitious 2025 passenger capacity target is testament to our belief,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who holds multiple roles as the chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, chairman of Emirates Group and chairman of Dubai’s Supreme Fiscal Committee.
“In line with Dubai’s vision to maintain its status as one of the world’s most important cultural and commercial centers, the planned expansion of both of the city’s airports is critically important,” DOF director general Abdulrahman Saleh Al Saleh said.
The final bank group consisted of 12 international and local institutions who acted as Joint mandated lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The facilities were oversubscribed by more than 50%.
Dubai Airports, which operates DXB and DWC, declined to comment, directing inquiries to the DOF, which was not available for comment.

qual'e' la capacità massima per il DXB? secondo me saranno costretti a sloggiare prima del 2025 se il trend di crescita è doppia cifra per ogni anno.
 
Non so quale siano i numeri ma da passeggero il grande problema di DXB e' che se ti becchi single runway operation e il tuo volo e' verso la fine di una delle tre ondate puoi stare tranquillamente due ore seduto su una taxiway.
 

Interessante.

- Load Factor in caduta del 4% circa, a pax costanti (posso dirlo? posso dirlo? sovracapacità! E come negarlo se in un anno hai ricevuto ventisei WB)
- Costo del carburante in salita del 6%; c'e' un grafico a pagina 94% che e' molto interessante, secondo il quale il costo del petrolio e' salito dell'80% o quasi tra dicembre e gennaio. Sara' molto interessante vedere cosa succederà in futuro, ma è innegabile che questo è l'inizio della fine delle vacche grasse per le compagnie aeree
- +30% di costo di leasing. La flotta s'è ingrandita del 10%, quindi devono aver fatto un bel po' di lease-back... per aumentare le revenues?
- +24% di overheads. In termini assoluti sono quasi tutti dovuti a forex.

In tutto questo va detto che il Break even Load Factor, pur essendo in salita al 64%, rimane comunque bello basso.

Da profano, cosa si intende per overheads? Immagino che abbia a che fare con lo scambio di valute, dato che hai citato forex.

Dipende dalla compagnia. EK dice 'corporate overheads' (quindi suppongo management) e FX. L'aumento e' di 0.4 miliardi, e 0.3 sono forex..
