2016Airways enhances US operations with equipment changes in Etihad

Etihad Airways continues to optimize its United States network with

equipment changes on two key markets in 2016.

Currently Etihad Airways operates leased Jet Airways Boeing 777-300ER

aircraft for its daily flight to and from San Francisco. These aircraft will

be replaced with Etihad Airways Boeing 777-200LRs from 25 April 2016.

The daily EY101 flight from Abu Dhabi to New York’s JFK airport and the

return EY100 service will also see leased Jet Airways Boeing 777-300ER

aircraft replaced by Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ERs from 1 June

2016.

The second daily Etihad Airways service to and from New York JFK,

EY103 and EY102, will continue to be operated with the airline’s A380

aircraft in 2016.

The Etihad Airways Boeing 777-200LR to be deployed on the San

Francisco route will be configured to carry 239 guests in three cabins,

with eight First Class seats, 40 Business Class seats and 191 Economy

Class seats.

The Boeing 777-300ER to be deployed by Etihad Airways on the New

York route will be configured to carry 328 guests also in three cabins,

with eight First Class seats, 40 Business Class seats, and 280 Economy

Class seats.

All Etihad Airways guests flying to the United States pass through US

Preclearance at Abu Dhabi Airport meaning they clear US immigration

and customs before boarding their flight and arriving in America as

domestic passengers.

Etihad Airways offers a new premium lounge for First and Business

Class guests to enjoy once they have passed through US Preclearance

in Abu Dhabi.

Etihad Airways currently operates double daily to New York JFK, a daily

service to Chicago, daily to Washington DC, daily to Los Angeles LAX,

daily to San Francisco, and three flights a week to Dallas-Fort Worth. The

airline opened a new premium lounge in New York in 2015.

Swedish investigators find West Atlantic flight recorders

Swedish accident investigators have recovered the two flight recorders

freighter that crashed in 200 Bombardier CRJWest Atlanticfrom the

Sweden near the Norwegian border in the early hours of Jan. 8, killing the

two crew members.

West based European mail and express freight carrier-The Gothenburg

, was en route from Oslo to 294, operating as flight PTPF200CRJAtlantic

Tromso, Norway late on Jan. 7 when the pilots declared mayday and the

aircraft disappeared from radar at 11:31 p.m. local time, just over 20

minutes after taking off.

Searchers discovered the crash site around four hours later in a remote

mountainous region on the Swedish side of the border with Norway,

around 200 km (124 miles) northwest of Gällivare.

From the small impact area, the aircraft appeared to have dived into the

rocky terrain at a steep angle.

The Swedish Accident Investigation Authority, Statens haverikommission

(SHK), said that on Jan. 9 the rescue services pumped about 1.5 cubic

meters of liquid, primarily jet fuel, from the impact crater.

The flight data recorder (FDR) was recovered Jan. 9, followed shortly

afterward by part of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The CVR was

missing its memory functions, but this component was found on Jan. 10.

Both recorders were heavily damaged, the SHK’s deputy director-general

and chairman of the investigation, Jonas Bäckstrand told ATW, ”but we

do have a hope that the information can be secured. The boxes will be

taken for analysis to try to extract the information.“

This process may take several weeks.

In a statement, the SHK said the recovery of the two recorders made it

believe ”that it will be possible to determine why the aircraft crashed.“

It is not standard SHK procedure to issue a preliminary report into a

crash, Bäckstrand said. This is normally only done if an investigation

stretched beyond a year. However, an exception might be made in this

case, because of public interest in the crash. He said final reports are

typically issued 10-12 months following an accident.

IATA: Decline in Air Freight Volumes Bottoms Out

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for

global air freight markets showing air cargo volumes (measured in

Freight Tonne Kilometers) were down 1.2% in November 2015, compared

to November 2014. Total cargo volumes, however, expanded compared

to October 2015, and were higher than the low point in August. This

indicates that the decline in cargo demand may be bottoming out.

The negative year-on-year comparisons occurred across all regions with

the exception of the Middle East. Of the major markets that together

comprise more than 80% of total trade, Europe was down 2.0%, North

America by 3.2%, and Asia-Pacific by 1.5%. The comparative weakness

in these regions was driven largely because the performance in

November 2014 was very strong. Latin American and African markets

also fell, by 6.4% and 6.0% respectively. The Middle East region posted

5.4% growth.

"The freight performance in November was a mixed bag. Although the

headline growth rate fell again, and the global economic outlook remains

fragile, it appears that parts of Asia-Pacific are growing again and

globally, export orders are looking better. In fact, the downward trend in

FTK volumes appears to be bottoming out. But there is a great deal of

uncertainty. The current volatility of stock markets shows how much the

health of the global economy – upon which air cargo depends - remains

on a knife-edge," said Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

Nov 2015 vs. Nov 2014 FTK Growth AFTK Growth FLF

International -1.3% 3.8% 50.8%

Domestic -0.4% 7.2% 30.4%

Total Market -1.2% 4.5% 46.8%

YTD 2015 vs. YTD 2014 FTK Growth AFTK Growth FLF

International 2.6% 6.4% 47.6%

Domestic 0.0% 4.5% 29.5%

Total Market 2.3% 6.0% 44.1%

Regional analysis in detail

(1)

http://www.atn.aero/

Asia-Pacific carriers saw a slight fall in FTKs of 1.5% in November

compared to November 2014, and capacity expanded 3.2%. Compared

to October, volumes expanded by a strong 1.9%. Over recent months,

the declining trend in volumes has halted. Better demand in advanced

economies is driving export growth in some countries, particularly in

Japan.

European carriers reported weaker demand in November, down 2.0%

compared to a year ago, and capacity rose 2.2%. Comparing November

to October, the trend was flat, but there are indications that stronger

manufacturing and export orders could support air freight demand in

the coming months.

North American airlines experienced a fall of 3.2% year-on-year and

capacity grew 5.8%. The market remains hard to read. A 0.4% expansion

compared to October indicates that air cargo could be recovering. But

export indicators are poor, making it hard to be optimistic for the

coming months.

Middle Eastern carriers saw demand expand by 5.4%, and capacity rise

9.2%. Although the Middle East led the way as the only market showing

positive growth, the rate fell to less than half the 11.9% average growth

for the year-to-date. Falls in the oil price are impacting some economies

in the region.

Latin American airlines reported a decline in demand of 6.4% year-on-

year, and capacity expanded 1.9%. Few positive signals emerged from

the markets in this region, with economic and political conditions in

Brazil particularly weak. The comparison with October also showed a

1.4% contraction and air cargo demand appears to be mirroring weaker

consumer confidence.

African carriers experienced a fall in demand of 6.0%, and capacity rose

by 6.6%. Africa remains one of only three regions (with Asia-Pacific and

Middle East) to record positive year-to-date growth for 2015. Demand is

holding up despite the underperformance of Nigeria and South Africa.

Emirates Expands Switzerland Operation, Adds Second

Daily Service to GenevaEmirates announced today the expansion of its operation in Switzerland with the

addition of a second daily service to Geneva effective 1st June 2016. The second

daily flight will double capacity on the route and represents an overall increase of

26% for Emirates in Switzerland.

The new flight will be operated by a state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a

three-class configuration, with eight Private Suites in First Class, 42 lie flat seats in

Business Class, and 310 spacious seats in Economy Class.

”With natural landmarks like Lake Geneva, the Alps and Jura mountains, Geneva is

an attractive destination. It also hosts the highest number of international

organisations, like Europe’s United Nations and the Red Cross, making it a global

hub for diplomacy and banking. Demand is strong year-round, with high traffic from

Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong and the Indian Ocean, with travellers visiting the city

for business and pleasure," commented Thierry Aucoc, Emirates’ Senior Vice

President, Commercial Operations, Europe and Russia.

"Aside from more convenience for the growing number of Swiss travellers visiting

Dubai, the additional frequency from Geneva will allow us to meet high demand and

offer better connectivity for those travelling to countries like Africa, Indian Ocean

islands, Bali and Thailand via our ultra-modern hub,“ added Aucoc.

Emirates flight EK83 will depart Dubai International Airport at 14:55hrs and arrive in

Geneva at 19:50hrs. The outbound flight EK84 will depart Geneva at 21:45hrs and

arrive in Dubai at 06:10hrs the following day.

With an additional cargo capacity of almost 20 tonnes per day in each direction,

Emirates SkyCargo will offer better access for Swiss companies to economies

around the world. Exports from Geneva include pharmaceutical products,

automobile spare parts, chemicals and semi-conductors. The presence of

international organisations like the Red Cross also generates high humanitarian

cargo traffic on the route.

Customers on Emirates’ flights enjoy the famed hospitality of its multi-national

Cabin Crew, including Swiss, as well as gourmet cuisine and Emirates’ award-

winning ice entertainment system. With more than 2000 channels of on-demand

entertainment, from movies, television programmes, games, audio books, and music

from around the world, ice has been named the world’s best inflight entertainment

system by Skytrax for 11 consecutive years.

As with all Emirates flights, passengers will benefit from a generous baggage

allowance of 30kg in Economy Class, 40kg in Business Class and 50 kg in First

Class. Passengers travelling in premium cabins will also enjoy lounge access as

well as Chauffeur-drive service.

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) to acquire

Consolidated Aviation Services

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), the world’s largest air cargo handler

and one of the leading providers of airline ground handling and

technical services, announced today an agreement to acquire

Consolidated Aviation Services (CAS). Financial terms were not

disclosed. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other

customary closing conditions.

CAS, headquartered in New York, is one of the leading cargo handlers

in the United States, serving over 250 airline customers. WFS, which

was acquired by Platinum Equity in September 2015, is present at over

145 major airports in more than 22 countries on five continents. WFS

serves 300 airlines globally, including the handling of over four million

tons of cargo and 50 million airline passengers per annum.

Olivier Bijaoui, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of WFS, said:

”The proposed acquisition will not only create a unique organization in

the United States that combines the best of both companies, but will

also reinforce WFS’ position as one of the world’s premier cargo

handlers. I know Mike Duffy, President & CEO of CAS, and the CAS

team well, have worked with many of them before, and have a great

deal of respect for what they have accomplished. The success of CAS

is a testament to the hard work of its employees, and the combination

will create one of the most knowledgeable and experienced teams in

this industry.“

Bastian Lueken, head of Platinum Equity’s European investment team,

said: ”We are delivering on our pledge to support the profitable growth

of WFS by pursuing complementary, accretive add-on acquisitions

which present immediate synergies.“

In November 2015, WFS also completed its acquisition of a 51%

shareholding in Fraport Cargo Services, confirming its strategic

partnership with Fraport AG for airfreight handling at Frankfurt Airport,

one of the world’s most important cargo gateways. FCS is the largest

airline-independent cargo handling provider at the airport and handles

about 500,000 tonnes of airfreight per year for some 40 airline

customers.
