  • Lufthansa Decommissions Aircraft, Predicts Recovery Will Take Years Airline Also Deploys Passenger Aircraft on Large Scale for Dedicated Cargo Transport
    Lufthansa decommissions aircraft, predicts recovery will take years Airline also deploys passenger aircraft on large scale for dedicated cargo transport Eric Kulisch, Air Cargo Editor Tuesday, April 7, 2020 0 1,943 2 minutes read Lufthansa is retiring Airbus super-jumbo jets and other aircraft to right-size operations with demand. (Image: Flickr/Aero Icarus) Speculation that the demand destruction from the coronavirus will be long-lasting and result in a smaller airline industry after the pandemic is starting to become a reality. On Tuesday, Deutsche Lufthansa AG (CXE: LHA) announced a significant restructuring that includes a permanent reduction in capacity and the consolidation of several flight operations within the airline group. The company said the board of directors made the decisions because it expects global travel restrictions won’t be completely lifted for months and that it will take years until worldwide demand for air travel returns to levels before the coronavirus crisis. Vasu Raja, American Airlines’ senior vice president for network strategy, said in The Wall Street Journal that few people are making plans to travel in the next three to five months. The Lufthansa Group has already cut capacity by more than 90% and parked about 700 aircraft. Based on the estimate of a slow recovery, Lufthansa Airlines is decommissioning six Airbus A380 double-decker planes, seven A340-600s and five Boeing 747-400s. The carrier is also withdrawing 11 A320 single-aisle planes from short-haul operations. The six A380 aircraft were already scheduled to be sold back to Airbus in 2022. The decision to phase out the A340s and B747s was made because they burn more fuel and pollute more than more modern aircraft, Deutsche Lufthansa said.

  • Reconfirmation Process for Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS !
    Reconfirmation Process for Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS are pleased to plan their future flight schedule and offer more flights. To do this, planning security is needed and we need to know how many customers we can expect on our flights. To be able to verify the demand, customers are asked to reconfirm their intention to fly. Due to technical reasons the reconfirmation process for customers who have bought their tickets directly at Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa or SWISS will only be activated at a later stage. Description . As of 28 May 2020 remaining active segments in bookings affected by a reaccommodation/schedule change (after UN, UN/TK or TK) have to be reconfirmed, otherwise they will be cancelled. PNRs with an Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa or SWISS flight (with UN or UN/TK or TK status) regardless of the validating carrier get an SSR element (PLS VERIFY IF PAX DEF TRV AND INSERT OSI YY PAX DEF TRVLG)which has to be confirmed by an OSI element (OSI YY PAX DEF TRVLG) to prevent the PNR from being cancelled . The standard deadline will be 21 days (extended from the previously communicated deadline of 14 days) . In addition, a new ticket time limit (TTL) is entered into the PNR if a ticket issue/reissue is needed . If the PNR was reconfirmed or cancelled during this process, the ticket may still be used for later reissue based on the applicable goodwill rules or Flight irregularities policies . For PNRs that are not affected by any flight irregularity, nothing changes.

  • Airline Alliances
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Open Skies • 1992 - the United States concluded the first second generation “open skies” agreement with the Netherlands. It allowed KLM and any other Dutch carrier to fly to any point in the United States, and allowed U.S. carriers to fly to any point in the Netherlands, a country about the size of West Virginia. The U.S. was ideologically wedded to open markets, so the imbalance in traffic rights was of no concern. Moreover, opening up the Netherlands would allow KLM to drain traffic from surrounding airline networks, which would eventually encourage the surrounding airlines to ask their governments to sign “open skies” bilateral with the United States. • 1993 - the U.S. conferred antitrust immunity on the Wings Alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. The encirclement policy began to corrode resistance to liberalization as the sixth freedom traffic drain began to grow; soon Lufthansa, then Air France, were asking their governments to sign liberal bilaterals. • 1996 - Germany fell, followed by the Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Malta, Poland. • 2001- the United States had concluded bilateral open skies agreements with 52 nations and concluded its first multilateral open skies agreement with Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. • 2002 – France fell. • 2007 - The U.S. and E.U. concluded a multilateral “open skies” traffic agreement that liberalized everything but foreign ownership and cabotage. • 2011 – cumulatively, the U.S. had signed “open skies” bilaterals with more than100 States. Multilateral and Bilateral Air Transport Agreements • Section 5 of the Transit Agreement, and Section 6 of the Transport Agreement, provide: “Each contracting State reserves the right to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an air transport enterprise of another State in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of a contracting State .

  • Antitrust: Commission Sends Statement of Objections to Brussels
    European Commission - Press release Antitrust: Commission sends Statement of Objections to Brussels Airlines and TAP Portugal on code-sharing on Brussels-Lisbon route Brussels, 27 October 2016 EU Commissioner in charge of competition policy Margrethe Vestager said: "Code-sharing by airlines can bring benefits for passengers in terms of wider network coverage and better connections. However, we are concerned that in this particular case Brussels Airlines and TAP Portugal may have used their codeshare to restrict competition and harm passengers' interests on the Brussels to Lisbon route." The Statement of Objections sent by the Commission today concerns a codeshare agreement signed between Brussels Airlines and TAP Portugal in 2009. The Commission's objections relate to the first three years of the agreement. Under this codeshare agreement, the two airlines granted each other the right to sell an unlimited number of seats of almost all categories (Business, Economy) on each other's flights on the Brussels-Lisbon route. Prior to the agreement, Brussels Airlines and TAP Portugal had operated competing services on the route and were in fact the only two airlines flying this route. The Commission's concerns At this stage, the Commission has concerns that the two airlines pursued an anti-competitive strategy on the Brussels-Lisbon route by: first, discussing a capacity reduction (number of seats) and an alignment of their pricing policy on the route; second, granting each other unlimited rights to sell seats on each other's flights on the route (where they had previously competed), and third, implementing these arrangements by actually reducing capacity, completely aligning their fare structures as well as their ticket prices on the route.
