Just 280,000 people flew with SAS during January

SAS saw less passengers in January as a direct consequence of increased travel restrictions

During January, 280,000 passengers flew with SAS, a decrease of 28% compared to December, when demand was higher during the holidays. Compared to January last year, the number of passengers decreased by some 85%. Compared to December, SAS' capacity decreased by 15%, which corresponds to a decrease of almost 78% compared to last year. The load factor was 30%, a decrease of about 3 percentage points compared to December and 37 percentage points in comparison to last year.

“During January, new travel restrictions have been introduced at short notice in Scandinavia and the rest of the EU. This means that as of February 1, all SAS’ international destinations have either requirement for quarantine, requirements for a negative PCR test or a general entry ban for non-residents. Reintroduced and extended travel restrictions have significantly reduced the demand for air travel and has forced SAS to adapt both the offered destinations and departures to the prevailing conditions. The increased restrictions mean that we estimate that demand, and thus our capacity, will remain at low levels for the rest of the winter season” says Rickard Gustafson, CEO SAS.

SWISS serves ordinary notice to terminate pilots’ CLA and offers new negotiations

                                          SWISS has terminated its negotiations with the Aeropers pilots’ association on temporary crisis measures in response to the coronavirus pandemic without reaching a result. Aeropers was not prepared to make sufficient concessions for the crisis years. In the light of this, SWISS has served ordinary notice to terminate the present collective labour agreement (CLA) for its cockpit personnel on 31 March 2022. SWISS remains committed to its social partnership, and is offering negotiations on a new CLA.

Like the rest of the global airline industry, Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has been severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic. In the first nine months of 2020 the company sustained an operating loss of more than CHF 400 million and saw its passenger numbers decline by around 70 per cent. On top of this, the company is currently drawing on a state-backed bank loan facility of up to CHF 1.5 billion which it plans to repay as soon as possible.

In response to these developments, SWISS has subjected itself to a rigorous cost-saving programme. Substantial cost economies are essential in all corporate areas. And with these aims in mind, crisis agreements extending over several years have been concluded with the company’s social partners for its ground and its cabin personnel.

Delta to keep the middle seat free until the end of April

The U.S. mega-carrier Delta Air Lines is continuing its industry-leading commitment to keep the middle seat free and both protect passengers and give them more space. 

Delta is the only U.S. airline to block middle seats and limit capacity on all flights departing through April 30, 2021, ensuring customers can confidently plan and book their spring travel. 

Delta has blocked middle seats and reduced the number of customers on board each flight since April 2020.

The airline has consistently listened to its customers and prioritized their preferences by offering more space through seat blocking and reducing the overall number of people on board each flight since April 2020.

Qantas and Alliance Airlines agree on capacity deal

Deal with Alliance Airlines to provide capacity using recently acquired Embraer E190s aircraft from mid-2021.

The E190 offers right range and size to better service routes linking regional centres with smaller capital cities.

Flexibility to increase or decrease capacity provided by Alliance depending on market conditions.

Opportunity for Qantas Group crew to fly E190s with Alliance while international markets recover.

A new deal with Alliance Airlines will help the Qantas Group meet an expected surge in local tourism demand once the country moves beyond sudden COVID-related border closures.

Alliance will provide the QantasLink network with flexible capacity using its recently acquired Embraer E190 aircraft – a 94 seat jet with a five-hour range that is well suited to linking regional centres with smaller capital cities.

Initial routes that Alliance will fly are expected to include Adelaide–Alice Springs, Darwin–Alice Springs and Darwin–Adelaide. Passengers can expect an increase in frequency made possible by the size, range and economics of the E190 compared to the Boeing 737s that are currently used on these routes; the 737s will be redeployed elsewhere in Australia as part an ongoing ‘right aircraft, right route’ approach to the Group’s network.

Qantas has signed a three year deal with Alliance to access three E190s based in Darwin and Adelaide. The timing will depend on the rate of recovery in travel demand but is currently expected to start in June 2021, once the vast majority of the Qantas Domestic flying has returned to pre-COVID levels.

Finnair Traffic Performance in January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic impact was clearly visible in the January passenger traffic figures, strong cargo performance continued

In January, Finnair carried 85,600 passengers, which was 92.4% less than in the corresponding period of 2020 and 7.5% less than in December 2020. The COVID-19 impact, including the exceptionally strict travel restrictions imposed by several countries, still affected all passenger traffic figures. It was visible especially in the North Atlantic figures (no scheduled passenger flights in January).

The overall capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) decreased in January by 89.8% year-on-year. Finnair operated 74 daily flights (cargo-only included) on average which was 20.8% compared to January 2020. The differences between capacity figures are explained by the shorter operated flights on average and by the smaller gauge of operated aircraft compared to January 2020. Finnair's traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) decreased by 96.7%. The Passenger Load Factor (PLF) decreased by 52.6% points to 25.4%.

Las Vegas based Allegiant released details of its 2020 financial results........

The Las Vegas based Allegiant Travel Company has just reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020,  one of the most challenging years the aviation industry has ever faced.

The carrier finished the quarter with an adjusted loss per share of $1.12 - an improvement of 81 percent when compared to the second quarter with total revenue of $247 million, up 85 percent from the second quarter. 

During the last quarter, the average load factor was  58.2 percent and the airline says forward bookings are showing improvements in both loads and revenue, although the carrier's management remains cautious about the future recovery.  

"With the close of the fourth quarter, we completed the most challenging year the industry has faced in its history," stated Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "We still have a long road ahead to a full recovery, but we are gaining momentum and moving in the right direction. We finished the quarter with an adjusted loss per share of $1.12 - an improvement of 81 percent when compared to our second quarter lows. The fourth quarter continued the trend of sequential improvement to total revenue, which came in at $247 million, up 85 percent from the second quarter. Similar improvements were seen in load factor at 58.2 percent. Booking trends suggest we will continue to see both revenue and load improvements into the first quarter."

KC-135 Stratotankers; fuelling the fight as Red Flag 21-1 integrates space, cyberspace for joint all-domain operations training

Photo by Airman 1st Class Dwane Young

Red Flag 21-1 is well underway. Pilots, crew members and maintainers look to find their stride within the frenetic pace of day and night missions. Those who look to the skies over Nellis AFB can bear witness to the revolving door of aircrafts constantly taking off and landing.

Tasked with refueling these aircraft is an integrated team from the 906th Air Refueling Squadron (ARS), Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and the 91st ARS, MacDill AFB, Florida, and their KC-135 Stratotankers.

The KC-135 Stratotanker has provided aerial refueling for the United States Air Force, joint partners and allied nation aircraft for more than 50 years.

“This is my first Red Flag, and it’s amazing,” said Senior Airman Edwin Mensah, 906th ARS boom operator. “I’ve been refueling aircraft for five years now, but you really don’t get to do it at this level unless you deploy.”

Red Flag provides essential training for its participants, but for Capt. Titan Miller, 906th ARS KC-135 pilot, it also serves as a benchmark of accomplishment.

Miller participated in Red Flag ten years ago as a Boom Operator and now returns as a KC-135 pilot.

“This moment for me is a dream realized,” said Miller. “Red Flag is designed to give you critical experience and no matter the job you perform, after you leave here, you leave better.”

Airbus helicopters rise to the challenge of getting COVID-19 vaccine to remote areas

The speed and extraordinary ability of helicopters to reach remote locations make them an essential component for accomplishing the last leg of the logistical challenge involved in distributing COVID-19 vaccines to isolated areas.

Today, more than 30 countries are engaged in mass vaccination campaigns to protect populations against the coronavirus, with Airbus-built rotorcraft providing vital airlift services in locations around the world. Many Airbus helicopter types are being deployed by military services, government agencies and civil operators – from the single-engine, H125 light utility version to the twin-engine heavy-lift H225M.

Chile: Civil and military helicopters for a common goal

Since the end of 2020, Chilean authorities have been deploying helicopters and aircraft to distribute Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines in different regions of the country. This airlift includes a BK117 from the Prefectura Aérea de Carabineros and a Chilean Navy AS365 Panther, pictured left.

"The H125 offers many benefits for getting vaccines to remote and high-altitude locations."

José Luis Bendicho, Suma Air’s General Manager

Additionally, a Suma Air H125 (pictured top) transported 85 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from Santiago to Quillota Hospital. “The helicopter is an excellent alternative to transferring vaccines in optimal conditions – providing a fast, timely and efficient way to reach locations that would be difficult to access without the proper means of transportation,” explained José Luis Bendicho, General Manager of Suma Air. “The H125 offers many benefits for getting vaccines to remote and high-altitude locations.”

Firebirds training in southwestern US highlights C-17 capabilities

On the morning of Jan. 8, 2021, 13 U.S. Airmen, all assigned to the 517th Airlift Squadron, boarded a C-17A Globemaster III aircraft and flew from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson to March Air Reserve Base, California. Their mission: to train and prepare for global operations in a deployed environment, reports Samuel Colvin.

The crew brought computers, printers, projectors and other supplies with them to set up a mobile mission-planning cell (MMPC) to plan airlift operations in a simulated austere environment. An MMPC kit can be set up anywhere in the world to plan airlift operations in locations where a well-established network may not be available.

The week of training focused on Agile Combat Employment (ACE), an operational concept designed to develop Airmen to become multi-functional and operate from smaller, tactical-level forces to increase combat capability.

Just 8 Norwegian aircraft flew in January.......... 10% of flights departed late....

The struggling budget carrier Norwegian has released details of its operating performance in January, which demonstrated that 10% of the airline's flights departed late, despite only operating an average of just eight aircraft over the month. 

Just 74,224 people flew with the airline in the first month of the year,  down some 96 percent compared to the same period last year and the carriers load factor was a dismal 35.9 percent. 

Norwegian operated eight aircraft on average in January, mainly on domestic routes in Norway. Surprisingly the company operated 96.8 percent of its scheduled flights in January, whereof only 90.4 percent departed on time.

Jacob Schram, CEO of Norwegian, said: “The pandemic continues to have a negative impact on our business as travel restrictions remain. We are doing everything in our power to come out of the examinership as a stronger, more competitive airline and we look forward to welcoming more customers on board as travel restrictions are lifted.”

The airline is under fire from unions in a number of countries for walking away from paying proper redundancy payments to staff that were laid off when the firm decided it was pulling the plug on its long-haul operations. The company is also accused of siphoning off money to various subsidiary and associated companies in a concerted effort to avoid paying up for its responsibilities. Whilst it is commonplace for airlines to get ground European regulations by opening up sideline companies in different countries to employ local staff on lower rates of pay and less favourable terms, many former staff are calling for an enquiry by both the Norwegian and European authorities into the practice.

Airbus sites gear up for the A321XLR’s Major Component Assembly phase

Industrialisation and parts production for the first A321XLR is underway across Airbus sites and its wider supply chain, paving the way for the Major Component Assembly of the first forward fuselage, centre and rear fuselage sections and the wings, to begin in 2021. By the start of this year, a large proportion of the engineering design drawings had been released. 

“The production of components for the first A321XLR flight-test aircraft is progressing through the sites all across the world, for large and small components as well as systems,” notes Gary O’Donnell, Head of the A321XLR Programme. “In parallel, many parts are already being tested and demonstrated – on both the aircraft structure and on the systems side – to validate the functionality of all those first aircraft components.”

Bringing it all together

He added: “The production system in particular is now coming alive, with our teams receiving the design drawings from Airbus and the key risk-sharing design partners and bringing them into physical reality. This progress already is enabling Airbus’ factories across Europe and the UK to prepare their ‘pilot’ operations for the Major Component Assembly phase to begin later this year, and in turn, for the subsequent induction of the first completed Major Component Assembly's into the final assembly line at Hamburg in the second part of the year.”

Emergency Grants to 12 STEM Organizations Severely Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic from JetBlue

JetBlue announced this week a round of rapid response grants from the JetBlue Foundation. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected funding for non-profits and education programs. To help with immediate needs, the JetBlue Foundation issued a round of emergency grants to 12 aviation and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education grantees and partners in need of financial support to continue their critical work reaching students and communities traditionally underrepresented in these fields.

The JetBlue Foundation, founded in 2013, is independent from JetBlue and has a separate Board of Directors and an Advisory Committee both made up of JetBlue crewmembers from across the airline. These grants are provided directly from the JetBlue Foundation.

The JetBlue Foundation, the first airline foundation focused solely on supporting aviation and STEM education, invited a group of previous grantees and partners to apply. This round of grants supports education programs focused on mentorship, technical education training and social justice, with a joint goal of increasing access and awareness of STEM and aviation careers. The rapid response cycle will help organizations committed to racial and gender equity that have encountered financial setbacks in achieving their missions due to the pandemic. Considerations were given to programs providing opportunities for virtual engagement and those in need of technology resources for online and remote education.

American Airlines expands its acceptance of VeriFLY app at all airports

 U.S. mega-carrier American Airlines continues to make it easier for customers to travel to and from international destinations by expanding its acceptance of VeriFLY, the mobile health wallet that simplifies testing verification requirements.

 

Using the VeriFLY app, customers can upload documents to meet travel requirements, and American will accept the verification for flights operated from the airline’s U.S. airports to eight countries.

This is in addition to the carrier’s recent expansion to accept VeriFLY for international travel to any of American’s domestic airports.

American’s joint business partner, British Airways, will also begin using VeriFLY for flights from London to the United States.

Customers traveling from all of American’s domestic airports to eight countries will have the option to use the free VeriFLY app to upload required travel documents such as negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test results, and show those credentials in order to travel on American. Previously, the airline accepted the app for outbound travel from the United States only from the airline’s hub at Miami International Airport (MIA).

Loganair to start Newcastle - Jersey service

Loganair, the UK regional airline with the Scottish flair has confirmed it will start a new direct service between Newcastle and Jersey as part of its 2021 summer schedule.

The route starts on May 28th and will be operating twice per week on Fridays and Sundays until July 6th when it will increase to three times weekly with the addition of a Tuesday service until October 26th. 

The airline will be flying a 49-seat Embraer 145 regional jet on the route and has said fares will start at £75.99 one-way.

Kay Ryan, Loganair’s chief commercial officer, said: "We are very excited by the potential of this new route, and believe it will prove extremely popular as it is increasingly likely that British holidaymakers’ options will be unfortunately severely limited this year.

 The route will ensure customers from two airports in the North East have access to one of the most beautiful and popular holiday destinations in the British Isles, one which provides more than a hint of being overseas with its French place names and climate."

Alaska Airlines to offer international fliers VeriFLY mobile health passports

       

                       International customers arriving in the U.S. can streamline their required COVID-19 documents starting today using the third-party app VeriFLY. The free and secure app offers fliers expedited check-in and verification for their arrival to the U.S., to help give confidence that they meet the entry requirements for their arrival to the U.S.

Why the need? 

In early January, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention announced an order requiring international airline passengers entering the U.S. to have proof of a negative COVID test.  The order explains that the test must be taken within three days of departure to the U.S., and that fliers must complete a health attestation form.

VeriFLY is a mobile app that acts as a digital health passport to supplement the guest travel journey as they fulfill U.S. entry requirements. Similar to Alaska Airlines' Pre-Clear program, the app allows for real-time verification of COVID-related credentials, like health questionnaires and diagnostic lab results. Guests will be able to store proof of their negative COVID test, or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19, in addition to their health attestation form in the app to help optimize the document verification process and get them on their way.

2020 was the worst year in history for air travel demand says airline association

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced full-year global passenger traffic results for 2020 showing that demand (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) fell by 65.9% compared to the full year of 2019, by far the sharpest traffic decline in aviation history. Furthermore, forward bookings have been falling sharply since late December.

 

International passenger demand in 2020 was 75.6% below 2019 levels. Capacity, (measured in available seat kilometers or ASKs) declined 68.1% and load factor fell 19.2 percentage points to 62.8%.

 

Domestic demand in 2020 was down 48.8% compared to 2019. Capacity contracted by 35.7% and load factor dropped 17 percentage points to 66.6%.

 

December 2020 total traffic was 69.7% below the same month in 2019, little improved from the 70.4% contraction in November. Capacity was down 56.7% and load factor fell 24.6 percentage points to 57.5%.

 

Bookings for future travel made in January 2021 were down 70% compared to a year-ago, putting further pressure on airline cash positions and potentially impacting the timing of the expected recovery.

 

IATA’s baseline forecast for 2021 is for a 50.4% improvement on 2020 demand that would bring the industry to 50.6% of 2019 levels. While this view remains unchanged, there is a severe downside risk if more severe travel restrictions in response to new variants persist. Should such a scenario materialize, demand improvement could be limited to just 13% over 2020 levels, leaving the industry at 38% of 2019 levels.

“Last year was a catastrophe. There is no other way to describe it. What recovery there was over the Northern hemisphere summer season stalled in autumn and the situation turned dramatically worse over the year-end holiday season, as more severe travel restrictions were imposed in the face of new outbreaks and new strains of COVID-19.” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO. 

Drone / remote pilot minimum age requirement changes

The lower skies over the UK may now become a little more dangerous....

The UK Government has now removed the minimum age requirement for remote pilots operating a UAS in the Open and Specific categories.

The competency requirements are unchanged, but from this date, the 12 years of age (Open category) and 14 years of age (Specific category) limits no longer apply. 

Articles 9 and 9A of the UAS Implementing Regulation (EU 2019/947) have been deleted completely; the full details can be found in Statutory Instrument 2021 No. 10.
