AirAsia India may miss 2013 deadline

Another unusual practice in India is that airlines have to provide security. “This is something that’s not the airline’s responsibility the world over. But here it is,” said Mills. He argued that taking up such matters with the authorities yielded no results. For a man used to airports competing for his business, Fernandes — known for his persuasive skills — is in for a rude shock when it comes to Indian airport authorities. Barring 2-3 private airports, which may make some effort, the 38-odd airports run by the Airports Authority of India are not known to run after new business.

Remember folks, airlines can only make money when airports are open and they are flying. Hahahahahahahahah!!

AirAsia India may miss 2013 deadline

Unlike most markets where AirAsia is used to operating, in India one has to often deal with costs that are levied on the airlines without much explanation. To cite an instance, in 2012, airport authorities informed carriers that they would have to pay Rs 58 per passenger for the use of the common user terminal (CUTE) facilities. “It was an extra cost dumped on us out of the blue”, former SpiceJet CEO Neil Mills told BW when he was in office. A senior ministry official says AirAsia asked to be excused from these charges as it did not need the CUTE services. But it was informed that it would have to pay the charge regardless of whether it used the service.

So how? Remember folks, airlines can only make money when airports are open and they are flying.

AirAsia India may miss 2013 deadline

In India, while airlines like IndiGo and SpiceJet have followed the classic low-cost model as it is understood globally, India is not cheap or low-cost to operate in. “One can at best say that airlines like IndiGo are relatively lower in cost than, say, Jet Airways or Air India. But, in general, the costs of operating in India — be it landing and navigation charges, aviation turbine fuel, various taxes levied on tickets and at airports and even real estate — are higher than in most countries,” says a rival airline’s CEO.

Folks, researchers say they've figured it out. They dug through the paperwork airlines filed for 8,269 delayed domestic flights.

1. Half-empty flights are much likely to be canceled on normal day.

2. Half-empty flights are much more likely to be canceled during foul weather than full flights.

3. Flight is more likely to be canceled during a storm if it has fewer premium class passengers on board.

4. If the route is a commuter run with back to back flights, then a flight with less passengers will be cancelled and those few passengers will be combined.

5. Airplanes aren't scheduled for just one route, there are downline flights that still need to be flown. Downline, that particular aircraft may have to be used or that particular route has to be flown so as to cause less downline cancellations.

6. Sometimes flights are canceled in order to return the affected flight lines to their schedule as efficiently as possible.

Care to share you horror experience, folks? Hehehehehehehehe!!

Folks, if one think one's flight was cancelled due to lack of passenger ( revenue); what will happen to the actual aircraft and crew? Would they not be needed downline to operate another flight ( which may be full)? Also the crew ( pilots and flight attendants) still gets pay for a cancelled flight, they may be reassigned to operate another flight but bottom line is that they do not lose their pay for a cancelled flight.

So how? Heheheheheheheh!!

What to Do when Airlines Cancel Flights?

A surprising number of airlines do not directly state their weather cancellation policies on their web site. Airports do not cancel flights - ever. Only airlines can cancel their flights. Airports can only temporarily close their runways, preventing any planes from taking off or landing.

There are a number of employees involved in the decision and communication of the decision to suspend flights. Airlines can only make money when airports are open and they are flying. Heheheheheheh!

New Delhi, Oct 9 - The Centre (authority) was on Wednesday directed by the Delhi High Court to respond to a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking to restrain the government from granting any approval for investment by a foreign airline in a greenfield airline project like AirAsia. The BJP leader has sought a direction for restraining Centre from granting any approvals/permits.

Remember folks, the airline is undecided about launch dates, though all indications are for a December-January launch. Pilots and cabin crew have already been sent for training to AirAsia’s headquarters in Malaysia, and around two dozen employees have been sitting in a cramped space within the Chennai airport planning the eventual launch and giving the final touches to the fledgling operation. The team is waiting patiently for security clearance from the home ministry.

AirAsia India may miss 2013 deadline

Folks, it was in 2011 that the problems began. To start with, Hyderabad airport doubled its development charges. You can’t imagine how cost conscious we are despite having almost 60 flights a week out of India, with a total staff of barely 20. In due course, the airline withdrew its Thiruvananthapuram service as it was too close to Tiruchirapalli and Kochi. In March 2012, it pulled out of Delhi and Mumbai due to a combination of factors.

First, the cost of these airports was too high. Second, the airline was using an A330 on the Delhi and Mumbai routes, which meant around 377 passengers on a full flight. But the airline was flying point to point and didn’t have through check-in — passengers had to disembark in KL and go through immigration before flying on to other destinations. Fliers, therefore, needed a visa for Malaysia.

Passengers, of course, didn’t want the inconvenience or the extra cost as they could use other airlines for their onward journey without the hassle. Soon, the airline realised that there wasn’t enough point to point traffic.

So a doomsday! Will history repeat itself? Careful now! Heheheheheheh!!

In 2008, AirAsia Berhad started a daily flight from Tiruchirapalli to Kuala Lumpur (KL). By November 2009, there were daily flights from Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kolkata to KL — all in the same week. In early 2010, twice daily services were added from Chennai to KL and Penang. Subsequently, flights were added from Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi (by August 2010). The Delhi and Mumbai routes being of over five hours duration, A330 (AirAsia X) planes were used. In December 2010, Thai AirAsia introduced daily flights from Kolkata and Delhi to Bangkok. Most of 2010 was spent expanding and consolidating.

Folks, you know what happened next? Heheheheheheh!!

Although AirAsia India is yet to take off, AirAsia Berhad and Thai AirAsia have been operating in India for a few years now. And if that experience is anything to go by, operating a new low-cost India affiliate is unlikely to be a cakewalk.

Will history repeat itself? Another suspension of flight or another doomsday? Hahahahahahahahah!!

Troubles Galore: Folks, till now, operations in home market Malaysia have been its backbone. But profits for this year have been lower with last quarter showing a drop of 62%. There’s no denying that competition for AirAsia in 2013 has intensified substantially — both with its subsidiaries and at home which has caused lower yeild.

So folks, will the 3Q13 earning be favorable for AA? Careful now! Hahahahahahahah!!

Troubles Galore: AirAsia has been a bit like Jet Airways in the mid-1990s — virtually a monopoly. That has been one big reason behind its success,” says a senior civil aviation official. But now there are more budget carriers than before with competitive fares & overcapacity.

Folks, AirAsia has other problems to contend with in India. This may be a bad time to launch a new airline here. Growth has plummeted; the rupee is at an all-time low; oil prices have been higher than usual and may well go higher; and the all-round mood of gloom and doom has become more real than imagined.

How folks? Heheheheheheh!!

Folks, another twist in the tale was added when the Tata group announced that it intended to set up a full-service airline in India in partnership with Singapore Airlines, with a 51 per cent stake in the venture. Since the group also has a stake (30 per cent) in the proposed airline with AirAsia, many feel there could be a conflict of interest. India’s aviation policy is, however, silent on the matter of investment by one promoter in two carriers.

So how? What next? Heheheheheheheh!!

Folks, Swamy's Public Interest Ligitation (PIL) bombshell. The point that the petition sought to raise was, in fact, pointed out by the civil aviation ministry at the time of FIPB clearance: that the FDI policy permits investment only in existing airlines and not in greenfield ones. However, perhaps in an attempt to appear pro-investment, the proposal was cleared by the finance, commerce and civil aviation ministers.

Now, it would appear that the chickens have come home to roost because Swamy’s plea is correct in theory, say senior government officials. So how? Heheheheheheheh!
