Monarch cessa improvvisamente le operazioni


londonfog ha detto:
Nello specifico, i dettagli della legislazione inglese non hanno un'equivalente del Chapter 11 o dell'Ammistrazione Straordinaria. Vale a dire uno stadio intermedio fra l'esercizio aziendale normale e la chiusura totale che consente ad una compagnia aerea di ri-organizzarsi. Pensa che la CAA non puo' usare aerei e equipaggi Monarch per rimpatriare chi e' andato in vacanza ma deve noleggiare altri aerei e equipaggi. Questo rende difficile un qualsiasi intervento prima del de profundis.

Got it, thanks!

Secondo me la cosa senza senso e' che non possano usare aerei ed equipaggi Monarch per questa operazione. Anche se non ci fossero vantaggi economici sarebbe sempre una iniezione di contante che avrebbe favorito i creditori, o per lo meno i creditori privilegiati (con lo stato in testa alla coda).

Quando le leggi sono scritte male i risultati sono questi. Ed è sempre un piacere scoprire che non è una esclusiva italiana quella di scrivere le leggi con i piedi :diavoletto:

e va bene, bravi e onesti intellettualmente. Ma gli enti di controllo dove erano mentre si vendevano biglietti in condizioni gia' iper-critiche?!?!?!!?
Ora leggo che il costo per il governo (ovvero per il contribuente britannico) e' stimato in GBP 60M; e' giusto?

Non esattamente, in UK c'è il programma ATOL, che difatto si "protegge" da solo
https://www.caa.co.uk/ATOL-protection/Consumers/About-ATOL/

[h=2]Funding and administration[/h]ATOL is run by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). It is funded by contributions from the travel companies, who must pay £2.50 into the scheme for each person they book on a holiday.
This money creates a fund that is used by the CAA to ensure consumers either complete their holiday or – if they cannot get away – receive a full refund.

Buona notizia per molti ingegneri in ZB. La divisione Monarch Aircraft Engineering Ltd. (MAEL) continuera' ad operare in standalone:

Monarch’s engineering arm continues as standalone operation

The UK’s Monarch Aircraft Engineering Ltd. (MAEL) will continue operations despite the Oct. 2 collapse into administration of Monarch Airlines and Monarch Travel Group.
MAEL has hangars at both Monarch’s home base of London Luton and at Birmingham airport, as well as 10 line maintenance stations in the UK and elsewhere in Europe.
Although its sister company was a significant customer for its engineering services, MAEL has increasingly looked further afield for business and, in the past month, has won a contract to carry out C1 checks on Virgin Atlantic’s fleet of17 Boeing 787-9s over the next four years. At this year’s Paris Air Show, it also signed a joint venture partnership with Boeing Global Services to collaborate on securing additional third-party fleet servicing agreements.
MAEL is a Boeing-approved Global Fleet Care (formerly GoldCare) provider.
“MAEL has always been a standalone business within the Monarch Group, holding its own cash, employees and property,” MAEL MD Chris Dare said. “Despite what has happened at Monarch Airlines and Monarch Tour Group, MAEL continues to trade as normal, with renewed focus on servicing our existing clients and winning new contracts.”

Quello che ho scritto io svariati post fa: non sarebbe tato meglio giare 60milioni di GBP alla stessa compagnia e dirgli che il loro ATOL era prorogato per il tempo necessario a rimpatriare i passeggeri, girare a qualcun altro operatore i restanti contratti in essere con i TO e poi tutti a casa?
Mi pare di capire che i lessors non stavano sull'uscio pronti a mettere le ganasce agli aerei.
Anni fa mi capitò una cosa simile: i bord dei direttori decise nottetempo di non andare oltre per non creare un disastro e di comune accordo coi lessors gli aerei vennero restituiti, organizzando sub affitti e acmi con altri vettori per il tempo necessario a riportare i pax (un mesetto circa).

In effetti questa è una anomalia assoluta che il legislatore dovrebbe correggere al più presto.

Monarch failure: Administrator claims it has legal right to sell slots

easid-202200-media-id-7835.jpg

Administrators of failed Monarch Airlines are confident they will be able to sell lucrative take off and landing slots operated by the carrier.
The slots, in particular those at Gatwick, are much sought-after and expected to be worth as much as £60 million with the likes of easyJet, Wizz Air and Norwegian said to be interested.
However, the prospect that administrators KPMG could lose control of the slots because they were not sold before the airline had its Air Operators’ Certificate revoked has been raised.
KPMG told The Times: “The legal advice the administrators have received is that they can sell the slots. We are now trying to establish the process at which we will sell them.”
If KPMG is unable to sell the slots they are expected to be out into a general slot pool which is offered to airlines twice a year by independent body Airport Co-ordination.

IAG ha espressamente dichiarato di essere interessata agli slots a LGW

BA owner IAG interested in failed airline Monarch's Gatwick slots - CEO

LONDON (Reuters) - British Airways owner IAG (ICAG.L) is interested in the London Gatwick slots of failed airline Monarch after it collapsed last week, IAG CEO Willie Walsh said on Friday, adding that the reduction of capacity was good for the industry

Monarch went bust on October 2, falling victim to intense competition in the sector and following Alitalia and Air Berlin into administration in what has been a tough year for Europe’s smaller players.

“With Monarch, I think everybody’s interested in slots at Gatwick, and that would be principally our interest as well... If we can get more slots at Gatwick, we’ll certainly be looking for more,” Walsh said on the sidelines of the CAPA centre for aviation global summit.
Norwegian Air Shuttle’s (NWC.OL) CEO said on Thursday that he was also interested in the slots, depending on the price and clarification over how the slots will be allocated.
Monarch’s collapse could reduce capacity in Europe’s highly competitive airline sector. Walsh said that while Monarch’s flights from Gatwick would likely be replaced, slots at smaller airports such as Birmingham might stay vacant.
With Ryanair cancelling flights over a pilot rostering fiasco, and the issues at Air Berlin and Alitalia, the rest of the sector could benefit, Walsh said.
“What the whole combination does is it clearly means there will be less growth, less capacity going into the market, particularly through this winter, so from an industry point of view that’s probably to be viewed as a positive,” Walsh said.

Walsh said that underlying demand was good, and supported a positive view of the market for the rest of 2017.
“We had said earlier this year that we saw unit revenue being positive in the second half of the year,” he said. “I’ve not seen anything at this stage to change that.”
Walsh said IAG’s new long-haul, low-cost airline Level planned a fleet of up to 30 aircraft by 2022 and was looking at flying to Asia as well, particularly the secondary cities.
Level currently flies A330 jets but the business plan includes A321LR jets, and Walsh said 787s were also an option.

“We are not wedded to one particular aircraft. The 787 is more efficient from a fuel point of view, but the A330 ownership cost is a fraction of the 787,” he said.
IAG has just approved an eighth A321LR for Aer Lingus and could go as high as 12, Walsh said, adding that the plane was also of interest for British Airways and Iberia.
“It’s not a transatlantic aircraft, but it does have good range and could work for us in both Iberia and British Airways,” he said.

Jet2 approfitta della dipartita di Monarch per potenziare le operazioni e aumentare voli e aerei basati

Jet2 moves to cover Monarch's North England capacity gaps

Jet2 (LS, Leeds/Bradford) has announced it has moved to plug the capacity shortfall at several Monarch Airlines (ZB, London Luton) bases following that carrier's collapse last week.

The UK leisure specialist said in a statement it was deploying over 100,000 additional seats to Birmingham Int'l, Manchester Int'l, and Leeds/Bradford to cover demand ahead of the start of the Winter 2017/18 season.

“This week we have put over 650,000 additional seats on sale in response to the increased demand for flights and holidays during both the summer and winter,"
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said. "To support that expansion we are increasing the size of our operation, a move which will see us introduce additional aircraft and create hundreds of new jobs."

Broken down, Jet2 will increase frequencies from Birmingham to Alicante, Faro, Las Palmas, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma Son Sant Joan, Rome Fiumicino, and Tenerife Sur thereby adding 50,000 to the Birmingham market.

In a similar way, an additional 45,000 seats will be added to Manchester for use in boosting service to Alicante, Faro, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Malaga, and Tenerife. Leeds will see a further 15,000 seats this winter brought on by a further three weekly flights to Tenerife.

In terms of Summer 2018 operations, Jet2 will double the number of aircraft based at Birmingham from four to eight. The added aircraft will deliver 250,000 extra seats which will be used to boost services to Alicante, Antalya, Heraklion, Dalaman, Faro, Las Palmas, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Paphos, Rome, and Tenerife while launching new services to Bodrum Milas, Dubrovnik, and Venice Marco Polo.

At Manchester in Summer 2018, the number of based aircraft will grow by two thereby allowing for sale of 300,000 seats. These will be deployed on added flights to Alicante, Antalya, Barcelona El Prat, Dalaman, Faro, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Malaga, Menorca, Palma de Mallorca and Rhodes.

At Leeds in Summer 2018, Jet2 will offer 40,000 additional seats, with more flights to Alicante, Faro, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Paphos (Cyprus), Rhodes and Zakinthos.

Carriers keen on Monarch slots, but is sale legal?

Several airlines are reportedly keen on picking up the slots of failed British carrier Monarch Airlines (ZB, London Luton), which went into administration earlier this month. However, questions have been raised about whether administrator KPMG is legally allowed to sell the slots to raise cash, or whether they should revert to the slot pool and be allocated by the independent body Airport Coordination Limited (ACL).

The sale of Monarch's 20 slot pairs at London Gatwick could raise as much GBP60 million on their own. Monarch also has slots at London Luton, Birmingham Int'l, Leeds/Bradford, and Manchester Int'l. However, the ability to sell the slots will come down to the validity of its Air Operators Certificate (AOC), reports The Financial Times.

"Slots can only be held by an airline with a valid operating license. If an airline ceases to hold a valid operating license, its slots revert to the slot pool," aviation lawyer, John Steel, told the news site.

Monarch's AOC was suspended when it went into administration on October 2. However, it has not yet been cancelled, raising questions about its legal position in regards to its slots.

Airlines which are reportedly interested in the slots include Norwegian UK (DI, London Gatwick), easyJet (U2, London Luton), Wizz Air (W6, Budapest), and IAG International Airlines Group.

Se quelli di AB vanno a LH senti gli strilli, questi in blocco a IAG e silenzio; due pesi e due misure a seconda che si parli "tei kattifi teteski" piuttosto che dei lord inglesi?

Credo che sia dovuto al fatto che EasyJet ha il 40% degli slot a LGW e BA circa il 20% (prima dell'acquisto). Se ho capito bene anche con l'acquisto non va oltre il 30%. Dalle notizie mi sembra di capire che gli slot li ha comprati IAG, in teoria potrebbero essere distribuiti fra Vueling, Iberia, Aer Lingus e British Airways, anche se penso che BA abbia la parte del leone nella distribuzione.

BA ha attualmente circa il 16% degli slot. Dopo questa acquisizione dovrebbe averne circa il 20%.
