Airline Bankruptcy: the Post-Deregulation Epidemic Airline Bankruptcy: The Post-Deregulation Epidemic By Paul Stephen Dempsey McGill University Institute of Air & Space Law Copyright © 2012 by the author • “Airline deregulation is a bankrupt policy.” Hobart Rowen Washington Post columnist Every major US interstate airline at the time of deregulation in 1978 has since visited bankruptcy court, several more than once. 15 US AIRLINE INDUSTRY NET PROFIT MARGINS 1950-2009 10 5 0 -5 -10 net profit margins net -15 -20 year • 2000 – U.S. profit $2.5 billion • 2001 - U.S. loses $8.3 billion • 2002 - U.S. loses $11.4 billion • 2003 - U.S. loses $1.7 billion • 2004 - U.S. loses $9.1billion • 2005 - U.S. loses $27.2 billion • 2006 - U.S. profit $18.2 billion • 2007 - U.S. profit $7.7 billion • 2008 - U.S. loses $23.8 billion • 2009 - U.S. loses $2.5 billion • 2010 – U.S. profit $3.6 billion US Carriers cumulatively lost $52 billion in this decade. U.S. General Accountability Office • “Structurally, the airline industry is characterized by high fixed costs, cyclical demand for its services, intense competition, and vulnerability to external shocks. As a result, airlines have been more prone to failure than many other businesses, and the sector’s financial performance has continually been very weak . • “Since the 1978 economic deregulation of the U.S. airline industry, airline bankruptcy filings have become prevalent in the United States, and airlines fail at a higher rate than companies in most other industries.” • U.S. Government Accountability Office, Commercial Aviation: Bankruptcy and Pension Problems are Symptoms of Underlying Structural Issues (Sep. 2005). Liquidation or Reorganization? • The purpose of bankruptcy is to give honest debtors a ―fresh start‖ by relieving them of most debt, and to repay creditors in an orderly manner to the extent the assets of the debtor are adequate. • Because the ―going concern value‖ of an airline is typically greater than the liquidation of the carrier, most airlines opt for Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy. • Many, however, are dismembered in Chapter 7 liquidations. Voluntary or Involuntary? • Bankruptcy proceedings may be classified as either voluntary or invol•untary. • A voluntary bankruptcy is filed by the debtor, whereas an invol•untary bankruptcy is filed by the creditors.

    European Air Law Association 23rd Annual Conference Palazzo Spada Piazza Capo di Ferro 13, Rome “Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights” Laura Pierallini Studio Legale Pierallini e Associati, Rome LUISS University of Rome, Rome Rome, 4th November 2011 Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini Air transport and insolvencies of air carriers: an introduction According to a Study carried out in 2011 by Steer Davies Gleave for the European Commission (entitled Impact assessment of passenger protection in the event of airline insolvency), between 2000 and 2010 there were 96 insolvencies of European airlines operating scheduled services. Of these insolvencies, some were of small airlines, but some were of larger scheduled airlines and caused significant issues for passengers (Air Madrid, SkyEurope and Sterling). Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian market This trend has significantly affected the Italian market, where over the last eight years, a number of domestic air carriers have experienced insolvencies: ¾Minerva Airlines ¾Gandalf Airlines ¾Alpi Eagles ¾Volare Airlines ¾Air Europe ¾Alitalia ¾Myair ¾Livingston An overall, since 2003 the Italian air transport market has witnessed one insolvency per year. Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian Air Transport sector and the Italian bankruptcy legal framework. ¾A remedy like Chapter 11 in force in the US legal system does not exist in Italy, where since 1979 special bankruptcy procedures (Amministrazione Straordinaria) have been introduced to face the insolvency of large enterprises (Law. No. 95/1979, s.c. Prodi Law, Legislative Decree No. 270/1999, s.c. Prodi-bis, Law Decree No. 347/2003 enacted into Law No.

    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • Bankruptcy Tilts Playing Field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected]
    Equity Research Airlines / Rated: Market Underweight September 15, 2005 Research Analyst(s): David Strine 212 272-7869 [email protected] Bankruptcy tilts playing field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected] Key Points *** TWIN BANKRUPTCY FILINGS TILT PLAYING FIELD. NWAC and DAL filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, becoming the 20 and 21st airlines to do so since 2000. Now with 47% of industry capacity in bankruptcy, the playing field looks set to become even more lopsided pressuring non-bankrupt legacies to lower costs further and low cost carriers to reassess their shrinking CASM advantage. *** CAPACITY PULLBACK. Over the past 20 years, bankrupt carriers decreased capacity by 5-10% on avg in the year following their filing. If we assume DAL and NWAC shrink by 7.5% (the midpoint) in '06, our domestic industry ASM forecast goes from +2% y/y to flat, which could potentially be favorable for airline pricing (yields). *** NWAC AND DAL INTIMATE CAPACITY RESTRAINT. After their filing yesterday, NWAC's CEO indicated 4Q:05 capacity could decline 5-6% y/y, while Delta announced plans to accelerate its fleet simplification plan, removing four aircraft types by the end of 2006. *** BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES LIKELY TO BE LOW COST CARRIERS. NWAC and DAL account for roughly 26% of domestic capacity, which, if trimmed by 7.5% equates to a 2% pt reduction in industry capacity. We believe LCC-heavy routes are likely to see a disproportionate benefit from potential reductions at DAL and NWAC, with AAI, AWA, and JBLU in particular having an easier path for growth.

  • 2012-AIR-00014 in the Matter Of: ROBERT STEVEN MAWHINNEY
    U.S. Department of Labor Office of Administrative Law Judges 11870 Merchants Walk - Suite 204 Newport News, VA 23606 (757) 591-5140 (757) 591-5150 (FAX) Issue Date: 27 December 2018 CASE NO.: 2012-AIR-00014 In the Matter of: ROBERT STEVEN MAWHINNEY, Complainant, v. TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION LOCAL 591, Respondent. ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR DISPOSITIVE ACTION AND ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY DECISION This case arises under the employee protection provisions of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation and Investment Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21), 49 U.S.C. § 42121 et seq. and its implementing regulations found at 29 C.F.R. § 1979. The purpose of AIR 21 is to protect employees who report alleged violations of air safety from discrimination and retaliation by their employer. Complainant, Mr. Robert Mawhinney, filed a complaint against American Airlines and Respondent, the Transportation Workers Union Local 591 (TWU). Complainant alleges he was “threatened, ignored, abandoned, and subjected to a hostile work environment” and ultimately terminated from employment on September 23, 2011, by American Airlines acting in concert with TWU.1 To prevail in an AIR 21 claim, a complainant2 must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he engaged in protected activity, and the respondent subjected him to the unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint because he engaged in protected activity. Palmer v. Canadian National Railway/Illinois Central Railroad Co., ARB No. 16-035, 2016 WL 6024269, ALJ No. 2014-FRS-00154 (ARB Sep. 30, 2016); §42121(b)(2)(B)(iii). 1 Mawhinney Complaint filed October 5, 2011 (2011 Complaint).
