Etihad Airways will no longer Operate Boeing 777-300ER Jet Aircrafts
Donia Elizabeth
Etihad Airways to ground its Boeing 777-300ER and A380s Etihad Airways has stated that they are no longer going to operate their Boeing 777-300ER jets. They have also planned to ground its 10 Airbus A380s as well.
Etihad Airways, the second flag carrier of the UAE is now focusing on being a more streamlined and focused airline from now on. The CEO, Tony Douglas stated at the World Aviation Festival that, “we have gone far too diversified when it came to fleet types to be operationally efficient”
He also stated that “You will see of us, a very focused, a very disciplined operating model which is heavily built around the fleet of the 787 Dreamliner and A350-1000,” This would be mean that the airline is now going to streamline its business to make it more focused and transform the same into a boutique airline.
The airline has also planned to ground 10 of its Airbus A380s “indefinitely”. As per the CEO, he believes that the flights are amazing as it is, but given the current situation of the aviation industry, he feels that they are no longer commercially sustainable. This is because the A380 fleet of Etihad has not flown much in 2020 and it is not showing much of a future as well. The CEO even though was reluctant to say it would never come back but the message was passed on loud and clear. This has been the impact of the pandemic on the Airline.
Etihad is now going to be functioning mainly on its fleet of Dreamliners where, 40 of them are currently flying. The fleet being divided between 30 of 787-9 and a smaller fleet of 10 787-10s. Douglas believed that these are not just operationally efficient but are also contributing heavily to the Airline’s sustainability goals as well. Many Pilots Captain and First Officer with Cabin Crew Members will be Unemployed due to this decision.

Only 100 Captains and First Officers [Co-Pilot] are Paid on the Boeing Fleet
News Team
Afreen, Donia, Shruti
75 percent SpiceJet fleets are grounded and only 100 Captains and First Officers [Co-Pilot] are paid on the Boeing fleet, rest of the people are getting Leave Without Pay (LWP). For the Flight Q400 only 150 Captains and 150 First Officers [Co-Pilot] were paid. It seems that for other Airlines too the departures would be cut down and fleets would be grounded for long. An estimate of 50% departures across all the networks would be cut. Seeing the halt around the flights due to covid last year, most of the Airlines across the world had suffered huge losses. Seeing the rumours it is believed that there would come a condition when all simulators would be halted till further notice. That would lead to further losses maybe for the whole aviation sector. Grounding the fleets is at least ensuring that as per the need the flights are working. Airlines incur huge cost in maintenance so controlling only 25 percent flights is a good decision made by SpiceJet. According to the updates, Spicejet has converted three of its Bombardier Q400 passenger Aircraft into freighters in May 2020, to help with the primary operations of covid -19 in smaller cities in India.
It was recently reported by Flying-Crews.com that SpiceJet Ltd. is expected to post miserable financial results for the March quarter (Q4FY21). They also reported that there would be a dip in the Passenger load factors (PLFs) to 75% and further an expected dip in the yields by 5%.
All these point towards a company moving towards huge losses. In addition to that the second wave of Covid-19 across the country has added to the scenario. As per what ICICI Securities Ltd analysts wrote in a report on 19 April, “Weekly average daily fliers came in at around 193,000 in the week ended 17 April versus around 232,000 in the week ended 10 April." This shows that the situation ahead is also not very promising towards a better growth in passengers or yields. This is expected to be the reason for this take of SpiceJet on it’s fleet and employees
This is not the first time that SpiceJet has decided on grounding of the Fleet. According to the reports July 2020, due to Coronavirus and the two-months long lockdown were the reasons behind the Airline’s dull performance and grounding of the 737 MAX.
