Etihad Airways will no longer Operate Boeing 777-300ER Jet Aircrafts

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.

Business Plan for Indian FTA / FTO with Air Charters with 10 Aircraft and 2 Bases

Business Plan for Indian FTA / FTO with Air Charters with 10 Aircraft and 2 Bases

Bhawana Aggarwal 

Industry Analysis:

Air charter market in India, in terms of growth opportunity:

There is a niche market here with India embarking on a lot of infrastructure projects and also looking to become a manufacturing base. This is only expected to grow in the future. With the rate of growth of the Indian middle class and the entrepreneurial nature of Indian business.

factors hindering the growth of this segment:

With scheduled Airlines going through a turbulent period, it is time to turn to a more reliable source of flying Air charters. There has indeed been a slowdown and the Euro zone crisis has affected not only charter operators but also scheduled Airlines. India has also not been isolated from this. However, the scope of the charter market in India is poised to expand as big infrastructure projects are being undertaken by the Indian government and private companies, both domestically and internationally.

Compression of Air charter market of India with China and other developed markets:

In spite of the rapid economic growth and technological advancements in our country, the Air travel sector is still waiting for a major change. While the government is positively working towards encouraging growth in the Aviation industry by bringing drastic changes in policies, current infrastructure is hardly capable to handle the growth. In developed markets, there are over 11,000 helicopters and thousands of private Aircraft in commercial or private use. In India, with a population of approximately over 110 crores, we have just around 175 helicopters and approximately 100 Aircraft being commercially or privately used. The use of Aircraft charter services through helicopters has a distinct advantage over scheduled operators. It provides the fastest available mode of transport on short notice, the quickest accessibility to remote areas, no waiting time at check-in counters and at Airports for connecting flights and hence is a boon to the time-conscious customer.

India's previous experience with FTA (Free trade agreement):

Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) have become increasingly prevalent since the early 1990s. RTAs cover more than half of international trade and operate alongside global multilateral agreements under the World Trade Organization (WTO).

This regional initiative between developing economies was re-incarnated as Asia Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA). India’s first bilateral FTA with Sri Lanka (ISFTA) came into effect in March 2000.

However, the utilization rate of India’s FTAs is very low. Most estimates put it at less than 25%. Some of the major reasons for underutilization are: 

• Lack of information on FTAs

• Low margins of preference

• Delays and administrative costs associated with rules of origin

• Non-tariff measures

Marketing strategy:

In this digital world, it has become very important to market your business innovatively to attract more customers and for making more sales. Innovative Marketing strategies are important for most of the industries, especially Airlines. Without some unique and never seen before Marketing tactics, you can’t survive in this competitive world. Following are some suggested Marketing plans:

1. Create your own loyalty program:

Under this kind of programs, we can provide some gift to our consumers. This will help them to connect us forever.

2. Create an impact:

In any type of Marketing, creating an impact on your targeted audience is a must. The worst thing that Airlines do is not make a unique place in the customer’s heart. One of the way to create an impact is social services. When customers read about the work done by Airlines they can feel themselves connect with them.

3. Strat stunning social media campaigns:

We are living in a world where people spend most of their daily time on social media. We can start paid advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. With paid ads, we can target people in specific locations. Through these social media platforms, you can get intensely targeted customers. 

4. Focus on existing customers:

The Airline should focus on their customers first. Existing customers of the Airline are going to benefit the Airline companies more than the new customers via mouth publicity. 

5. Use the power of Influencers:

Influencer Marketing is currently booming. All major industries are looking at influencer Marketing as the best way of getting a better ROI. The Airlines should also implement effective influencer Marketing strategies. There are many benefits of influencer Marketing strategy that can help any Airline in boosting their business.
