Play si ritruttura: chiude i transiti e i voli per gli USA. Solo p2p leisure.


Play alza il velo sui voli per gli States: si parte con Washington e Boston

Saranno l’aeroporto di Baltimore Washington e quello di Boston Logan le prime due destinazioni del nuovo servizio a lungo raggio che verrà attivato dalla compagnia aerea islandese Play.

Dopo le anticipazioni delle scorse settimane sull’intenzione di inserirsi nell’importante mercato delle rotte transatlantiche, la compagnia ha rotto gli indugi e alzato il velo sull’inizio della programmazione sul Nord America. Entrambi i voli, che inizieranno rispettivamente il 20 aprile e l’11 giugno, partiranno dallo scalo di Londra Stansted e faranno una sosta a Reykjavik.

Secondo quanto riportato da Routesonline, Play al momento collega 5 destinazioni europee con l’Islanda, mentre i programmi per la prossima stagione estiva prevedono l’inserimento di altre 10 rotte, tra cui Bologna.

Peccato che per i voli da Bologna lo scalo non sia proprio comodissimo considerando che si arriva intorno all'una di notte in Islanda e il volo parte il giorno dopo alle 17 mentre al ritorno lo scalo a KEF è di una decina di ore... però i prezzi sono sicuramente appetitosi: in pieno agosto si trova intorno ai 300 e per certe date anche a meno. Bisogna vedere sommando tutti gli extra quanto viene fuori.

L'aumento dell'ASK da parte di una compagnia aerea, quando CASK aumenta e RASK diminuisce, è un problema per il conto economico.ed infatti EBIT e risultato netto sono in peggioramento.

Ed anche PLAY si è aperta la succursale maltese che verrà dedicata esclusivamente a fare ACMI.

Malta's Play Europe adds A321neo, obtains AOC

Play Europe, the Maltese subsidiary of PLAY (Iceland) (OG, Reykjavik Keflavik), inducted its first A321-200N and subsequently obtained its Air Operator's Certificate on March 27, 2025.

9H-PEA (msn 8008), formerly TF-AEW with the Icelandic unit, was ferried from Reykjavik Keflavik to Ostrava on March 25. It was ferried under the new operator's 'FPE' code to Nottingham East Midlands on March 28.

The Maltese subsidiary will be dedicated to ACMI operations and will operate exclusively on behalf of other carriers, with all in-house services retained under the Icelandic certificate. PLAY said that the Maltese company will add at least two more A321neo to operate the recently announced two-year contract with an unnamed Eastern European operator covering three aircraft of the type in total.

"These leasing projects will generate profitability for PLAY in line with previous projections and will make the company’s operations more predictable and stable, with a positive financial outlook," said chief executive Einar Örn Ólafsson.

Play Europe is wholly owned by the Icelandic parent. Ólafsson is the chief executive of both airlines.

The ch-aviation fleets module shows that PLAY's fleet comprises six A320-200Ns, two remaining A321-200Ns, and one A321-200NX.

PLAY rivoluziona tutto. Chiude USA, molte rotte e restituisce l’AOC islandese​


C’e’ una profonda ristrutturazione in corso in PLAY Airlines gia’ iniziata qualche mese fa. Altre misure saranno messe in atto a breve che porteranno ad una totale mutazione del business e dell’operativo. Gli USA scompaiono dal network. Poi l’AOC islandese, Solo rotte leisure. Poi 6 aerei in ACMI.

Chiude gli scali USA​

Non si potra’ piu’ da fine ottobre in poi usare Reykiavik cone hub per volare da e per gli USA. A fine orario estivo chiuderanno le rotte rimaste dopo la ultima ristrutturazione su Boston, Baltimora e New York Stewart.

Restituito l’AOC islandese​

Vista l’acquisizione recente dell’AOC a Malta, quello in Islanda verrà restituito.

Solo rotte sunspot​

In futuro con i 4 aerei presenti sull’AOC maltese si voleranno qualche destinazione nel Nord Europa e per il resto solo verso luoghi di vacanza.

Si allargano le operazioni ACMI​

Trattandosi di operazioni esenti da rischio finanziario rispetto a quelle di voli di linea. PLAY Airlines volerà sei aerei per conto di chi li vuole prendere in noleggio anche a lungo termine.

L’Italia oramai soppressa​

Nell’estate 2025 non ci saranno piu’ i voli su Bologna e Venezia. Ci sara’ solo Verona dal 24 gennaio al 26 febbraio, settimanale ogni sabato.

Two of PLAY’s Largest Shareholders Seek to Take Over the Company​


Two of the largest shareholders in the airline PLAY are planning to make a takeover offer for all outstanding shares in the company and delist it from the stock exchange. Alongside the offer, a share capital increase would take place.

The takeover group, led by CEO Einar Örn Ólafsson and Vice Chairman of the Board Elías Skúli Skúlason, intends to continue promoting competition in the Icelandic aviation market to benefit consumers, operating under the PLAY brand by offering affordable fares for Icelanders and tourists alike.

The group plans to focus on the following key operational areas:

  • Strong offering of flights from Iceland to sunny destinations.
  • All flights to North America to cease as of October 2025.
  • Fewer city destinations in Northern Europe.
  • Operations will continue under a Maltese Air Operator Certificate (AOC), and the Icelandic AOC will be returned.
  • Four aircraft will operate flights to and from Iceland, mainly to sunny destinations.
  • The remaining six aircraft will be leased to other airlines in profitable ACMI projects.
  • The company will be delisted from the stock exchange.
  • Increased emphasis on the company’s offices in Malta and Lithuania.
In short, passengers flying from Iceland will not notice any changes in service. The airline’s branding and aircraft appearance will remain the same. The aircraft will still be red, the crews will remain Icelandic, and they will continue working under Icelandic labor agreements.

The takeover group will offer ISK 1 per share, and sellers may choose to receive payment either in shares of the new company or in cash.

With these changes, the takeover group aims to strengthen the company’s focus on profitable operations, including flights to sunny destinations and aircraft leasing, while discontinuing the less successful parts of the business—namely, U.S. flights and connecting services.

The acquiring entity will be funded with a minimum investment of USD 20 million, of which commitments have already been secured for more than one-third.

Einar Örn Ólafsson, investor and CEO of PLAY:

“This is primarily a plan for practical changes to the operations of the Icelandic airline PLAY. We’re focusing on the profitable aspects of the business—sun destination flights—and discontinuing those that have not yielded results.

We look forward to continuing to foster competition in the aviation market with our red aircraft and Icelandic crews. Our main goal remains to offer Icelanders affordable flights to the sun.”

Come volevasi dimostrare, ennesima puttanata, altro che play...
Quando la faranno finita di tirar su questi fenomeni da baraccone sara' sempre troppo tardi; massacrano il mercato per qualche tempo e poi salta il banco. E la banca, che si incazza.
 
Ci ho appena volato egregiamente e mi sembrava che KEF fosse prsticamente roba loro. Molti del mio volo CDG - KEF erano muricani (anche del 51 grande stato del nord) che proseguivano. Aereo nuovo di pacca, bella gente, puntualità. Spiaze
Ah, mi sa che devo fare il TR

WOW Air voleva fare hub & spoke low cost; un'idea magari nemmeno troppo peregrina (a differenza del LCC longhaul), ma - in un mercato tutto sommato non enorme come quello islandese, in piu' andando contro chi vola point-to-point con prodotto migliore - andavano a prendere le briciole. E puntualmente sono andati nel pallone.

PLAY ha deciso di fare esattamente lo stesso, col medesimo risultato.

E' la stessa solfa di Norwegian/Norse.
