Federation of Indian Airlines: the Strike That Was Not Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i Federation of Indian Airlines: The Strike That Was Not S.S. Ganesh1 “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance. Our losses are no longer sustainable” – Vijay Mallya, Chairman of FIA “Would the private airlines allow the government control in their organizations in case of a bailout as happened in other countries?” – One Senior Official from Ministry of Civil Aviation “Huge sums of money on cricket teams, buying more planes than needed, buying other airlines. Is the public to pay for bad management practices?” – D Raja, CPI Leader ******* Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) gave an ultimatum to the Government of India to bail out the airlines lest they may stop their operations on 18th August 2009 as a token strike. This decision was communicated to the Government by the private airlines after a long meeting of the members of Federation of Indian Airlines except Air India and Paramount Airlines. After the meeting, the members of FIA said that they would request other airlines including Air India, although Air India being the public sector airline and not party to the decision, to join the strike as it was natural for all airlines which suffer huge losses to seek Government support. Speaking to the media on the Government support to airlines, Chairman of the Federation of Indian Airlines and Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines, Vijay Mallya said “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance. Our losses are no longer sustainable.1” Further, it was reportedly said that Kingfisher Airlines Chairman Vijay Mallya had even threatened to suspend flights "indefinitely" and close down Kingfisher Airlines if the demands of the aviation industry were not met by the government during the meeting held by FIA. However, Vijay Mallya, Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines, and Naresh Goyal, Chairman 1 Associate Professor, OB/HR Area, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, India – 751013 Email: [email protected] 64 Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i of Jet Airways, had said the suspension on August 18 was not a strike or ultimatum to the government. Federation of Indian Airlines – An Introduction Federation of Indian Airlines, as an apex body of airline industry comprising members in the full service and low-cost-carriers, took place during October 2006. The members of FIA are Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways, Air India, Go Air, Indigo, JetLite, Kingfisher Red, Paramount Airways and SpiceJet. It acts as the voice of airline industry in India by providing platform to member airlines for consensus building in order to identify the core issues of the industry and to advocate its interests with regulatory bodies, government departments and other key stakeholders. The chief of all member airlines form the executive council of FIA which guides the affairs of the association through a full time permanent secretariat to carry out the varied activities of the association which will facilitate the growth in Indian aviation industry. Key Issues Facing Indian Aviation Industry According to FIA, the private airlines had incurred the cumulative losses of Rupees 10,000 crores (around $2 billion) in the year 2008-2009 (See Exhibit 01). The Indian carriers cumulative loss of $2billion dollar accounts for about 22% of the losses of global airlines which was estimated to be $9 billion by the IATA for the year 2008-20092. The $2 billion dollar cumulative losses of Indian carriers is also a magical sum considering the fact that passengers traffic in India during 2008-09 was estimated to be 122 million compared to 2341 million the world passenger traffic project by ACEXE3. One of the key issues affecting airline industry in India is excessive price of Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) which caused the cumulative losses for domestic airlines since ATF accounts for nearly 40% of the operating costs of airlines. A position paper by FIA indicated that ATF price in India for domestic airlines shot up as high as 60% to 91% during the period between 2004 and 2007 compared to international ATF prices (See Exhibit 02) and the price of ATF for international flights in India was as high as 73% at during April 2007 compared to international price. In the position paper, FIA estimated that reduction in ATF price by 65% would result in higher operating profits to the extent of 25% and the annual saving for the 2 “Global Airline Losses to Hit $9 Billion in 2009,” Businessworld, 8th June, 2009. 3 “Air Traffic Trends: World Vs India,” Aviation Centre for Excellence (ACEXE), 2009. 65 Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i aviation industry would be $ 624 million if the government could rationalize the ATF price in India for domestic operations in line with the international prices. According to FIA, the reasons for high ATF price in India are high customs duty (effective duty of approximately 20%), high excise duty at 8.24% and the absence of uniform sales tax on Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) across several states in India hover around 33% which not only adversely affect the financial health of the airlines and making airlines in India uncompetitive but also unattractive for equity capital and debt financing. For instance, during 2007, while Andhra Pradesh was charging the highest sales tax on ATF at 33%, majority of the states were charging sales tax on ATF ranging from 20% to 30% with few exceptions like Andaman and Mizoram having 0% sales tax on ATF. FIA has been demanding a uniform sales tax rate of 4% across the country by notifying ATF under declared good category. The Ministry of Civil Aviation could not address the demand of uniform sales tax rate on ATF by FIA as it was under the purview of state governments. FIA recommended that the government should rationalize the tax structure; regulate the ATF base price, pricing mechanism, and competition; and also improve the ATF distribution infrastructure in order to improve the financial health of airline industry. Besides the ATF tax issue, FIA had also voiced its concern regarding parking and airport usage charges in India and the new ground handling policy by the Government. FIA has reason to be apprehensive about the parking and airport charges which, according to FIA, are as high as 60% compared to the international airports and airlines industry has been losing money to the tune of $250 million every year. Further, the proposed new ground handling policy for the Metropolitan and Greenfield Airports made the airlines to view the proposal as the last nail in the coffin of loss making Indian carriers as it would escalate the cost of the carriers by 30% to 40%. Assistance or Bailout? Private airlines’ demand for a bailout citing the examples of such moves in other countries during the global meltdown did not find any favour with the Ministry of Civil Aviation. For instance, one of the senior officials of Ministry of Civil Aviation argued “would the private airlines allow the government control in their organizations in case of a bailout as happened in other countries?4” 4 BS Reporters, “Pvt airlines to halt flights on Aug 18,” Business Standard, 1st August, 2009. 66 Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i While Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines incurred losses Quarter on Quarter basis, no-frills airlines like SpiceJet and Indigo5 made significant profit during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2009 (See Exhibit 03). Ajay Singh, the director of SpiceJet, denied media’s claim on private airlines seeking bail out by declaring that “What we want is to get inputs and the various services for which we pay at international levels. These include aviation turbine fuel (ATF), ground-handling charges and landing and parking charges. We are not asking for a bailout at all.6” The New Ground-Handling Policy Ground-handling refers to all the work at airport premises relating to passengers, cargo and aircraft, except the engineering functions and catering, such as passenger check-in, baggage handling, boarding and disembarking passengers i.e. attaching the aero-bridge or ladder, aircraft cleaning, aircraft handling, fuelling, cargo handling etc. At present, many airlines carry out the ground-handling work for their airlines on their own, while some airlines have either outsourced it to Air India or private companies like Cambata Aviation. The new ground handling policy was approved by the Government in February, 2007, which prevented the private airlines from undertaking the ground handling by self or through third parties in all the Metropolitan Greenfield Airports from 1st January 2009. The policy envisaged that ground handing in these airports with effect from the above date would be solely carried out by the airport operator Airports Authority of India (AAI) or its joint venture like Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) which is a joint venture consortium of GMR group, AAI and Fraport Eraman Malaysia. The subsidiary companies of national carriers such as Air India or their joint ventures specialized in ground handing will be allowed to carry out ground handling on the basis of revenue sharing with the airport operator like AAI or DIAL. The new ground handling policy also permits the airport operators to choose any other ground handling service through competitive bidding on revenue sharing basis provided the ground handling agencies obtain security clearance from the government. The policy allows only domestic airlines to handle the ground services at the other airports i.e., non-metro 5 Being a unlisted company Indigo need not divulge its financial results to public.

  • 669419-1 EFFICIENCY of AIRLINES in INDIA ABSTRACT This Paper Measures the Technical Efficiency of Various Airlines Operating In
    Natarajan and Jain Efficiency of Airlines in India EFFICIENCY OF AIRLINES IN INDIA Ramachandran Natarajan, College of Business, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville TN, 38505, U.S.A. E-Mail: [email protected] , Tel: 931-372-3001 and Ravi Kumar Jain, Icfai Business School, IFHE University, Hyderabad-501203 (AP) India. E-Mail: [email protected] , Mobile: 91+94405-71846 ABSTRACT This paper measures the technical efficiency of various airlines operating in India over a ten-year period, 2001-2010. For this, the Input Efficiency Profiling model of DEA along with the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to gain additional insights. The study period is divided into two sub-periods, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, to assess if there is any impact on the efficiency of airlines due to the significant entry of private operators. The study includes all airlines, private and publicly owned, both budget and full service, operating in the country offering scheduled services on domestic and international routes. While several studies on efficiency of airlines have been conducted globally, a research gap exists as to similar studies concerning airlines in India. This paper addresses that gap and thus contributes to the literature. Key Words: Airlines in India, DEA analysis, Input efficiency profiling, Productivity analysis, Technical efficiency. Introduction The civil aviation industry in India has come a long way since the Air Corporation Act was repealed in the year 1994 allowing private players to operate in scheduled services category. Several private players showed interest and were granted the status of scheduled carriers in the year 1995. However, many of those private airlines soon shut down.

  • Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic Dr Vijay Kumar Mishra, Lecturer (Applied Economics), S.J.N.P.G College, Lucknow Air transport is the most modern means of transport which is unmatched by its speed, time- saving and long- distance operation. Air transport is the fastest mode of transport which has reduced distances and converted the world into one unit. But it is also the costliest mode of transport beyond the reach of many people. It is essential for a vast country like India where distances are large and the terrain and climatic conditions so diverse. Through it one can easily reach to remote and inaccessible areas like mountains, forests, deserts etc. It is very useful during the times of war and natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, hostility and collapse of law and order. The beginning of the air transport was made in 1911 with a 10 km air mail service between Allahabad and Naini. The real progress was achieved in 1920 when some aerodromes were constructed and the Tata Sons Ltd. started operating internal air services (1922). In 1927 Civil Aviation Department was set up on the recommendation of Air Transport Council. Flying clubs were opened in Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1928. In 1932 Tata Airways Limited introduced air services between Karachi and Lahore. In 1932, Air India began its journey under the aegis of Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd.

  • Reason Behind Kingfisher Airline's Failure: “An Eye Opening Case Study
    REASON BEHIND KINGFISHER AIRLINE’S FAILURE: “AN EYE OPENING CASE STUDY REVEALING THREE KEY WORDS FOR AVIATION INDUSTRY SUCCESS: COSTS, COSTS, COSTS” * JAYANT SRIVASTAVA (Asst. Professor, Trinity Business School, Murad Nagar, Ghaziabad) ** ASAD ALI & AKANSHA TIWARI (Students PGDM, Trinity Business School) ABSTRACT: Our research paper try to throw lights on some major reasons which were somehow responsible for the current crisis going inside the kingfisher Airlines which can be realized by the press statement from KFA, on 12 March 2012, highlights the challenges: “The flight loads have reduced because of our limited distribution ability caused by IATA suspension. We are therefore combining some of our flights. Also, some of the flights are being cancelled as a result of employee agitation on account of delayed salaries. This situation has arisen as a consequence of our bank accounts having been frozen by the tax authorities. We are making all possible efforts to remedy this temporary situation.” RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The key objective of this research study is to investigate the reasons behind the failure of the Kingfisher airline in the year 2012. To investigate the government policies and the various steps taken to fix the current crisis. To investigate the reasons due to which the whole Aviation Industry is suffering from higher operating losses. What went so terribly wrong with Kingfisher when rival Jet Airways has comparatively much higher debt? INTRODUCTION: Global aviation industry is passing through challenging times due to unprecedented fuel price hike during the last 4 years, turbulent financial markets and economic recession. Vijay Malaya’s dream bird, Kingfisher Airlines - popularly known as The King of Good Times - is witnessing its worst phase.

  • The Shut Down of Jet Airways
    Global Journal of Economics and Finance; Vol. 3 No. 3; October 2019 ISSN 2578-8809 (Print), ISSN 2578-8795 (Online) Published by Research Institute for Progression of Knowledge The Shut Down of Jet Airways Ashmita Tikku LIM College New York, USA Herbert Sherman, Ph.D. Professor of Management Department of Business Administration School of Business, Public Admin., and Info Sciences LIU-Brooklyn, H-700 1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA Abstract The challenges of running a profitable, sustainable business are many, especially in the airline industry where profit margins are historically low. This case will examine the failure of Jet Airways, India’s second largest aviation company, to address allegations of financial misconduct and equipment failure that resulted in 30 passengers in one flight therein experiencing nose and ear bleeding. The question is, how did management address the sudden business downfall that resulted from these negative incidents? More specifically, what were the recovery plans that were developed to combat the adverse effects of these incidents on the company’s reputation, relationship with customers? More specifically, what was the impact of the firm’s decision to ask employees to leave without prior notice given its economic downturn. This failure will be analyzed through the lens of three organizational change models: Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, the Organizational Life Cycle Model and Kurt Lewin’s Change Management Model. This analysis will include the question, how could the leaders and management team have acted as a support system for the consumers and the employees in the company. Behind the Scenes: About Jet Airways and its Origin Jet Airways (India) Private Limited was a highly reputed private airline in India with an average fleet age of 4.45 years.
