BA dovrebbe avere il 40% degli slots a Heathrow, bmi se non sbaglio intorno [EDIT] all' 11%. Sarebbe interessante vedere le quote per alleanza. bmi era in Star già prima, ma non ha osato intercontinentali verso gli USA da LHR, Lufthansa farà diversamente.

Lufthansa to take control of BMI

Lufthansa is taking majority control of BMI British Midland, which will give it the second largest share of take-off and landing slots at London Heathrow airport, behind British Airways.
The deal marks an important step in the restructuring of the European airline industry with the German carrier gaining a leading role at Heathrow, the biggest airport in Europe measured by passenger numbers and the key European gateway for passengers from North America.
It will consolidate the role of Star, the global airline alliance led by Lufthansa and United Airlines of the US, as the main challenger to Oneworld, the alliance led by BA and American Airlines, at Heathrow.
The German carrier is taking a leading role in the consolidation of European aviation as it takes advantage of its financial strength in the deepening financial crisis in the airline industry.
Earlier this year Lufthansa took over a 45 per cent stake in Brussels Airlines with an option to acquire 100 per cent in 2011. It is also in negotiations to buy strategic stakes in loss-making Austrian Airways and Alitalia, the latter in competition against Air France-KLM.
Lufthansa said Sir Michael Bishop, BMI chairman, had exercised his put option to sell the group his stake of 50 per cent plus one share.
Lufthansa already owns a stake of 30 per cent minus one share. The remaining 20 per cent is in the hands of SAS Scandinavian Airlines, which has previously indicated it also wishes to sell.
The option agreement was made by Sir Michael in November 1999.
Lufthansa said the option was not expected to become effective before January 12. The two groups were in discussions about the strategic development and future development of BMI.
The deal is a landmark in UK aviation with the decision by Sir Michael to relinquish control of the airline, which he first joined in the early 1960s. One of the most successful British aviation entrepreneurs, he has played a leading role in challenging the dominant role of the UK flag carrier, BA, and in increasing competition in European aviation.
BMI, which includes a low cost subsidiary BMIbaby and a UK regional subsidiary, warned recently it expected to fall into loss this year.
From its Heathrow base it has been seeking to develop a medium-haul network to the Middle East, central Asia and Africa following its takeover last year of BMed, British Mediterranean Airways, a former franchise carrier for British Airways.
The future ownership of BMI has been followed very closely by British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, the rival UK long-haul carrier controlled by Sir Richard Branson, which have both coveted BMI chiefly for its 11 per cent stake of all the take off and landing slots at Heathrow.
The airport is highly congested and there are no free slots at most hours of the operating day.
The future of BMI’s small regional subsidiary is also being watched by Flybe, which has emerged as the leading UK regional airline following its takeover last year of BA Connect, the former UK regional operation of British Airways, and is regarded as a potential buyer of BMI Regional.
BMI became the first airline earlier this year to capitalise its holding of take off and landing slots at Heathrow airport in its 2007 accounts, transforming the value of its balance sheet and breaking new ground in airline accounting.
Inclusion of the slots with what the airline called a “conservative” valuation of £770m helped to raise the value of the group’s net assets from £12m at the end of 2006 to £800m at the end of 2007.
BMI holds 11.4 per cent of the highly lucrative take off and landing slots at Heathrow, a position second only to the 41.5 per cent held by BA.
BMI pre-tax profits last year fell from £29.7m to £15.5m. Pre-tax profits on continuing operations and before exceptional items fell by 45.2 per cent from £17m to £9.3m.
Turnover rose by 12.9 per cent from £905m to £1bn largely as a result of the takeover of BMed. Passenger numbers increased by one per cent from 10.5m to 10.6m.
Its profitability this year has been hit by the ending of a co-operation deal with Lufthansa and SAS, agreed at the start of the decade, under which the two carriers have underwritten a large part of the losses on the BMI mainline operation in Europe.
The takeover of BMed was aimed at reducing BMI’s dependence on short-haul European services.

...ne avrebbero 3 anche per arrivare a LIN. Dopo la cancellazione della rotta credo che (a LIN) siano utilizzati 2 da LH per FRA e il restante immagino da AP.
Ma ad Hitler non è mai riuscito di conquistare l'Inghilterra, LH ha molte più possibilità. Io mi accontenetrei più che volentieri..Hitler sfilava sugli Champs Elysées, Mayrhuber può al massimo fare un touch and go a CDG
E anche a Schiphol niente blitz, rassegnati
Che fosse una str...ata lo si era capito da tempo
Beh...forse non tutti lo hanno capito...
Mentre in Italia si parla e straparla (CAI,AZ,AP e , forse,AF..ma no che dico forse LH, pero' facciamo anche un pensierino a BA, pero' AF e' mejo , ma che dici e' mejo LH...si potrebbe continuare all'infinito)..da qualche altra parte si agisce.Meditate gente ,meditate.
Ehmmm....si agisce perchè non si tratta di comprare una compagnia nei debiti fino al collo, e con una marea di altri problemi... La situazione che c'è in Italia non è paragonabile, secondo me, a quella di altri Paesi e compagnie assorbite da LH, AF, ecc.
Solo una considerazione:
Lufthansa in circa 45 giorni ha posto le basi per l'acquisizione del 45% di Brussels Airlines per 65 milioni di euro;
Lufthansa è l'unica rimasta in lizza per Austrian Airlines
Lufthansa sta prendendo la quota di controllo di British Midland Airways, che si tira dietro anche BMI Baby con i suoi 20 B737
Lufthansa ha fondato Lufthansa Italia ed ancora non si capisce se entra in CAI, oppure si trincera su MXP prendendosi il traffico dei manager del nord.
Ma Lufthansa da dove prende tutti questi soldi?, Non è che per caso il superenalotto è stato vinto da loro?

questa è la domanda più semplice
I soldi vengo da anni di ottima gestione e investimenti oculati.
E chi l'ha creata questa situazione? Chi ha gettato le fondamenta per tutto cio'? Perche' in 20 anni,cioe' da quando e' iniziato il declino di AZ tutti hanno fatto come le 3 scimmiette? Forse hai ragione tu..La situazione che c'è in Italia non è paragonabile a quella degli altri paesi..e francamente ne ho le balle piene.

Appunto, non è paragonabile. Per tante ragioni, che non si possono cambiare/risolvere tanto in fretta... Ma qui apriremmo un lunghissimo discorso OT...
