Airline merger talks between THY, Serbia’s Jat intensify

The governments of Serbia and Turkey have pledged to speed up talks that could result in indebted Serbian flag carrier Jat Airways merging with Turkish Airlines.
During a news conference, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said, “We are ready for steps that will make that cooperation possible. I am promising to do my best [to provide] the people of Serbia with links to every corner of the world through our two companies.”
THY CEO Temel Kotil told ATW in May that he was in talks with Jat about a possible merger ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]). In March, Serbia announced it would split Jat into two separate companies. Reuters reported that one would assume the debt and the other the profitable assets.
Jat announced a €16.5 million ($21.97 million) loss for 2009 and said it planned to borrow €51.5 million to renew its aging fleet and prepare for a potential partnership with THY. It operates a fleet of 15 aircraft comprising 737-300s, 737-400s and ATR 72-200s.

The airlines’ passengers will soon be able to relax and enjoy non-stop flying to the valuable places in the United States of America.

New four times weekly flights to Los Angeles will take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays and set to begin on 3th March 2011, also the flights to Washington will be operated on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays as five times per week
starting much more soon, on 7th November 2010.

And of course, the passengers will be able to travel from Istanbul to Los Angeles with the prices starting from 1081 Euros, also the tickets to Washington will be on sale with the reduced prices starting from 1038 Euros as round trip travels including taxes and fees until 30th June 2011.

Turkish Airlines reported 2010 first-half net income of €134 million ($170.4 million), significantly widened over a €48 million profit in the first six months of 2009, and predicted the air transport industry's recovery "is expected to continue" absent "another unexpected economic stagnation."

In a statement released to the Istanbul stock exchange, THY said its first-half revenue lifted 28% to €1.8 billion.
Operating profit was €55 million, down 34% from €73 million in the prior-year period owing to "increasing fuel prices," the airline said. It noted its fuel expenses jumped 74% during the period compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

First-half passengers carried increased 19.3% to 13.4 million while cargo and mail carried rose 49.6% to 152,000 tons.
Traffic in terms of RPKs heightened 19.9% on 26.8% growth in capacity in terms of ASKs (THY did not release specific RPK/ASK figures), producing a load factor of 72.1%, up 4.1 points.

The carrier's capacity and traffic growth is in stark contrast to the general trend of keeping capacity in check, particularly among major European and North American carriers. THY CEO Temel Kotil told ATW in June the airline does not intend to slow its pace of expansion anytime soon (ATW Daily News, June 10).

THY said in its stock exchange statement it has "positive expectations" going forward regarding "the growth of Turkish Airlines," which will likely have "better financial results in the future."

Separately, Jeppesen said it has signed a new service agreement with THY "to provide a solution for crew tracking and manpower planning."
It said the carrier "will now operate with a total integrated Jeppesen crew management system…[that will] allow the airline to integrate powerful decision support throughout their entire crew management process, from long-term forecasting to day-of-flight operation."

Turkish Airlines may buy double-deck aircraft

Turkish Airlines, Europe's fourth-biggest carrier, does not have enough airplanes to meet its expansion plans and may acquire double-deck aircraft, Chairman Hamdi Topcu told Star newspaper on Friday.

The Istanbul-based airline is looking at the feasibility of both the Airbus 380 or Boeing's planned partial double-deck aircraft, Topcu told the newspaper.

U.S.-based Boeing is developing the 747-8 for delivery expected next year. It will directly compete with European planemaker Airbus's 380 model, which is already in use.

Topcu reiterated the flag carrier's fleet target of 184 planes in 2011, up from 142 now. It has placed orders for 89 planes, 24 which are for wide-body aircraft designed for long-haul routes.

Turkish Airlines diversifie sa flotte d’A330. La compagnie turque a réceptionné son premier A330-300 et son premier A330-200F le 29 septembre, lors d’une cérémonie qui s’est déroulée dans les installations d’Airbus à Toulouse. Les deux appareils sont équipés de Trent 700 de Rolls-Royce.

Turkish Airlines a commandé dix A330-300. Les appareils seront aménagés en configuration biclasse de 289 places, 28 en Business et 261 en classe économique. Ils seront placés sur des routes moyen et long-courrier au départ d’Istanbul.

Deux A330-200F doivent également intégrer la flotte de Turkish Cargo. Ils seront déployés sur les liaisons vers Shanghai et Hong-Kong et permettront à la compagnie d’étendre son réseau. Actuellement, la filiale fret de Turkish Airlines exploite quatre A310.

Turkish Airlines possède désormais tous les modèles d’A330, puisqu’elle exploite déjà sept A330-200. Elle opère également neuf A340-300.

Turkish close to decision on ordering 747-8s or A380s

Turkish Airlines Chairman Hamdi Topcu told ATW in Seattle on Tuesday that THY is “evaluating” proposals to order either 747-8s or A380s by year end. He said the carrier is also deciding whether to order additional 737-900s and is in talks with Airbus regarding a possible A320 order.
Topcu said that “depending on the financial offers” from Boeing and Airbus, the airline could move to acquire production slots freed up by other airlines’ order cancellations.
THY CEO Temel Kotil told ATW recently that the carrier will decide on a possible A350/787 order in early 2011 ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]).
Topcu was in Seattle to accept delivery of the first of 12 new 777-300ERs THY has on order. Four more of the type will arrive this year with the remaining seven slated to be delivered during the first eight months of next year. The 337-seat 777-300ER is configured for 28 business-class seats, 63 "economy-comfort class" seats and 246 economy seats. THY will return four leased 777-300s by the end of this year.

Turkish Airlines acquiert 3 Airbus A330 cargo et 10 A321

Turkish Airlines développe toujours sa flotte à un rythme soutenu. La compagnie turque a annoncé le 3 mars qu’elle avait acquis dix A321 et trois A330-200F auprès d’Airbus.

Les A321 proviennent de l’exercice d’une option que la compagnie détenait d’une précédente commande. La motorisation n’a pas été indiquée mais Turkish Airlines devrait choisir les V2500 d’International Aero Engines, ces moteurs équipant les autres A321 de la flotte. Les livraisons auront toutes lieu en 2013.

Les trois A330-200F font en revanche l’objet d’un nouveau contrat. Ils doivent être livrés en 2012, 2013 et 2014. Là encore, le choix de motorisation n’a pas été annoncé mais ils devraient être équipés de réacteurs Trent 700 de Rolls-Royce comme l’A330 cargo que la compagnie exploite aujourd’hui.

Turkish Airlines avait également indiqué le 23 février qu’elle avait converti les options qu’elle détenait sur quinze Boeing 737NG livrables entre 2013 et 2015.

Turkish Airlines (THY), the national carrier of Turkey, has again selected the International Aero Engines AG V2500 SelectOne™ engine to power its A320 family aircraft. IAE will deliver 10 firm engines in 2013.
This follow-on order is valued at up to $200 million and will power A321 aircraft.

“We have been very pleased with the exceptional relationship we share with International Aero Engines, as well as the performance of its V2500 engine,” said Mr Hamdi Topçu, Chairman of Turkish Airlines. “It has helped us to maintain our reputation that reinforces our image as a leader in one of the most demanding aviation markets.”

THYs fleet currently operates in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The airline has been a V2500 operator since 2004 and this is the fourth time they have selected IAE.

“We believe that THY has again expressed its satisfaction with the V2500’s performance through this follow-on agreement,” said Ian Aitken, president of IAE. “This is another example of how our focus on our customer satisfaction, reliability, maintainability and efficiency play a key role in IAE being a leader in the global engine market.”
The V2500 SelectOne™ build standard delivers an additional one percent fuel burn advantage, along with a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions. It improves time-on-wing by up to 20 percent, and will be compliant with the most stringent CAEP/6 NOx standards. It entered service on schedule in October 2008.......

CHEYENNE a écrit:Merci, bonjour

Il s'agirait donc des 10 A 321 pris avec les 3 A 330F, ces derniers annoncés comme fermes ?

10 moteurs (pour 5 avions ) en 2013...et puis...la suite ??

Juste une interrogation

Il ne serait pas étonnant que, puisque la flotte de THY des avions de la famille A320, à moteurs IAE V2500, est jeune (premières commandes passées en 2004), cette Cie. pourrait continuer avec les "A320 / A321 legacy" !

SEAFOX a écrit:10 firm engines, oui, cela fait 5 avions en première monte

Le total des 10 A 321 est annoncé comme livrables en 2013.

Le Select 2, peut-être, en plus.

Turkish Airlines reported 2010 net income of $191 million, down 48.3% from a $369.5 million net profit in 2009, marking the second consecutive year the carrier's net earnings dropped by around 50% year-over-year.

Nevertheless, it vowed to continue with an aggressive expansion, evidenced by orders placed earlier this month for 13 Airbus aircraft ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]).

In a statement issued Thursday, THY said it grew ASKs by 15% in 2010 compared to 2009.

A 20% lift in RPKs produced a load factor of 73.7%, up 2.8 points.

The number of annual passengers carried heightened 16% to 29 million.

Full-year revenue rose 23% to $5.6 blllion.

THY said 81% of scheduled service revenue came from internatonal flying while 19% was generated in the domestic market.

The airline noted it was "taking all necessary steps to minimize the negative effect of the" unrest in various Middle East countries.

Boeing said on Friday it had confirmed an order for 15 next generation 737s with Turkish Airlines. The order would be worth more than USD$1.2 billion, on the basis of the list price of the planes.
Boeing said the order is for 10 737-800s and five 737-900ERs.
Boeing has so far received orders from 14 customers for a total of 305 737-900ERs, the newest member of the 737 family.

Turkey will need 480 new planes in 18 years: Airbus

Turkey’s aviation industry will need 480 new planes over the next 18 years to support its rapid expansion, European aircraft maker Airbus said yesterday, hoping to capture part of the market.

“By 2029, the traffic within, from and to Turkey will grow three times,” the company’s vice-president for Europe, Asia and the Pacific, Christopher Buckley, told a press conference in Istanbul.

The Turkish fleet is forecast to have grown from 235 to 528 by this time, which Buckley said implied the acquisition of 480 new planes to top up the existing fleet and replace old ones.

Of these, 382 should be passenger planes of Airbus’ A382 single-aisle variety, and 98 long-haul carriers, of which at least eight would be the biggest A380 type.

“I think we will be very happy if we can have half of that” market, Buckley said.
