asl aviation group’s f leet
Message from our CEO Opportunities, challenges and success! As a very well established aviation group, the ASL Aviation Group of companies provides a unique array of aviation services on a truly global basis. When reviewing the ASL website’s inclusion of the 2012 annual report, we can justifiably be proud of our companies and their performance which is aptly presented in the annual report released last month.
Aircraft are at the centre of the airline industry as they transport us and symbolise fascination for aviation.
T
he ASL Aviation Group’s fleet includes the fleet of the three Group airlines, Air Contractors, Europe Airpost and Safair as well as the fleet dedicated to the leasing activity. As in any other airline, the fleet constantly changes to meet the customers’ expectations and to adapt to the Group’s strategy in order to gain new markets.
Europe Airpost
The fleet is made up of 80 aircraft with 60 aircraft operated by the Group airlines, 22 aircraft dedicated to the leasing activity and five recently acquired B737-400 aircraft. ASL Aviation Group owns 55 aircraft.
Europe Airpost fleet is made up of 16 aircraft which cover the airline’s dual activity: passenger charter transport for tour operators and air brokers and freight transport for airmail operators and express freight operators in Europe, as well as on-demand flight operations. The airline has chosen to operate an all-Boeing 737 fleet. Europe Airpost operates nine Boeing 737-300QC and it is therefore the world’s leading quick-change aircraft operator. Its fleet includes one Boeing 737-300 full passenger, two all-cargo Boeing 737-300 and two all-cargo Boeing 737400. The integration of two full passenger Boeing 737-700 in its fleet two years ago enabled it to be the first airline to operate Boeing 737-700 in France.
Air Contractors
Safair
Air Contractors operates mostly freighter type aircraft. Five ATR 42 and 10 ATR 72 aircraft are currently dedicated to FedEx operations with an extra ATR-42 aircraft commencing operations in Oslo soon. Air Contractors is the largest FedEx feeder outside of the US. One Airbus A300-B4 and two A300-600 aircraft fly in the DHL network, as well the three B737-400 freighters. Air Contractors also operates a passenger Boeing 737-300 with Europe Airpost.
Safair specializes in on-demand and contract flights. It operates a fleet of twelve aircraft. With its eight Hercules, Safair can operate in some of the toughest environments such as Antarctica. The fleet also includes two Boeing 737300 freighter aircraft, one Boeing 737-400 QC aircraft and the newly arrived Boeing 737-400 combi aircraft which mainly operate in Africa.
Leasing
Moreover, Air Contractors proudly operates Europe’s only civilian Hercules, an aircraft which has always aroused curiosity.
The Leasing branch of the Group manages a fleet of 22 aircraft composed of : three MD 80, five Boeing 737-800, four Fokker F27, five ATR72 and five ATR 42, which are leased out to European airlines.
Second quarter 2013 ASL Aviation Group’s fleet:
In order to maintain the level of performance we have become accustomed to in past years, it is vitally important to be very focused not only on opportunities but the challenges ahead in order to ensure our continued success. While there is talk of economic recovery around the world, we have to consider that although we’ve been successful through this challenging time the environment continues to change even more rapidly.
France : 0,00€ , Ireland : 0,00€, United Kingdom : 0,00£, South Africa : 0,00 rand
With this in mind, the ASL companies are embracing these new dimensions of change, some of which you will read about in this newsletter and others of which will be announced shortly. One of the challenges for all of us is to continue to embrace ‘change’ both from outside our companies and within! Bearing in mind the rapid passage of time, half of 2013 is almost behind us, may I encourage all ASL colleagues to focus well on ensuring continued success in 2013 and beyond, in both existing and the new dimensions of ASL’s good business. Kind regards, Hugh Flynn
ASL at La Ferté Alais Air Show On May 18th, a Europe Airpost Boeing 737-300 aircraft took part at the prestigious La FertéAlais air show along with a DC3 aircraft which was previously used by “La Postale” (French Air Postal Service) to develop domestic airmail transportation. This unique La Ferté Alais air show displayed over a hundred vintage aircraft, covering the aviation history from its beginning to the present day, including an aerobatic demonstration from the French Air Force. Some pictures of the show are on page 2.

Conquering America A busy first quarter for the Air Contractors team As a result of successfully deploying two A300-600 aircraft into Hong Kong for DHL we have been asked to quote on additional aircraft for their European business starting in September. These aircraft will replace the A300-B4 which are being discontinued by DHL. In fact our last A300-B4 will exit revenue service at the end of June marking an end to an era for this great workhorse which we’ve been flying since 1998.

Further expansion of the ATR fleet is planned as FedEx has awarded us a contract to fly an ATR 42 between Oslo and Copenhagen from July this year. Finally we are delighted to announce Air Contractors and Aer Lingus have signed an agreement for the provision of services out of Dublin and Shannon to North America. Three Boeing 757s will commence operations in January and during the

Safair is pleased to announce the arrival of our Hercules, ZS-RSC, in Brisbane. This is the first time we have been based in Brisbane and in fact the first time since the early 2000’s that we have operated out of Australia. This venture in conjunction with Chapman Freeborn is an attempt to break into the Australian ad-hoc market, and hopefully more long term, out size freight market. With the ongoing Australian resources boom as well as the various oil industry projects that are currently in work, there is an identified requirement for the
Today this requirement is part of regulations as all airlines must implement a Safety Management System (SMS). More than a set of procedures including a risk assessment process, SMS is part of the corporate culture of the airlines and they have to disseminate it to all staff.
In order to complete this task successfully, Europe Airpost has chosen to use e-learning with a three-hour course directly inspired from the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC). The course is accessible to everyone via the internet from the office, from home or from the crew hotel.

This approval was part of the overall Europe Airpost SMS audit performed by the DGAC in early April. Furthermore, no discrepancies were reported.

satisfaction of the program since its commencement two years ago. Zodiac has requested that ACLAS consider expanding the product range focused on key items relevant to the Boeing 737, providing an opportunity for ASL Aviation Group benefit. Zodiac and ACLAS also agreed favourable terms for continuous supply, giving ACLAS pricing advantage for 2013 over other airlines. ACLAS is the global distributor of de-ice boots and associated products for Zodiac and in the first two years the program has traded over US$7.5m worth of products. ACLAS has 65 airlines on deice boot support contracts around the world and aims to increase this to 100 contract customers during 2013.

In order to do this Safair had to reapply for its Australian Foreign AOC, which allows us to operate flights into and out of Australia, which we first obtained whilst operating out of Darwin into Dili for the United Nations during the East Timor conflicts in the early 2000’s. The aircraft and Crew will be based in Brisbane and with Chapman Freeborn we are actively marketing the aircraft within these and various other sectors within the region. We look forward to the success of this venture and to growing our presence in the region.
ACE has again shown its mettle in its efforts to secure the future of the organisation. A major initiative to ‘self-market’ our services has led to revenue from the leading edge de-ice repairs increasing by 500 percent.
Following the successful implementation of Quantum, ACLAS is starting to see the benefits of the platform where inventory and business transactions are now linked through integrated inventory and financial modules. Most importantly, six months after “Go Live”, here is some of the feedback received from the team; “Very practical and easy to use, speeds up the process of transactions” - Olivier Page, Customer Support Executive “The goods receiving process is more efficient and faster, booking in multiple rotables is excellent!” Tony Hague, Stores Manager “Quicker, user-friendly and overall easier to use. Everything’s there for you at the click of a button!” Kylie Thomas, Senior Finance Assistant “I’m so impressed with the customer quoting process. I knew there would be an improvement but the ease and speed of quoting the customer is great” Lee Robinson, Customer Support Manager
Number of Leading Edge Repair
Aer Arann 15 Swiftair 13 Air Contractors 13 TAT Leasing 1 ACLAS 1 This increase, together with exchange fee revenue from the stock of leading edges harvested from ATR 72, EISLM has contributed significantly to an excellent result where ACE has not only made a profit, but exceeded budget. Following on from this success, ACE is about to begin a new venture of repairing ATR flight controls. This project requires a very specific piece of jig tooling, of which only four are being produced worldwide. ACE has secured the second of these precious jigs and is about to begin training on the new processes needed. The CAA has given full support to the concept and it is expected that this new product line will greatly improve our ability to maintain financial stability when base maintenance activities are slow. This strategy, devised entirely by the staff at ACE, will be an attractive addition to the leading edge activity. In times where airlines’ budgets are being squeezed ever tighter, the savings achieved by having our own flight control repair capability will be considerable. FedEx has already committed two ATR flaps to ACE for the first repairs to be undertaken. Ultimately this will allow ACE to have a more diverse product range with a corresponding significant contribution to the ASL Group results.

The pen as sword and paper as shield Aviation has probably the highest standard of record keeping of any industry. Those meticulous standards should also logically influence everyone’s approach to taking and preserving accurate records of internal and external meetings and conference calls. Short note taking of every meeting, consisthe 2012 Annual Report which is included on the ASL website www.aslaviationgroup. com. We are passionate about aircraft and the report includes a number of the recently acquired ASL liveried aircraft. At the same time, we have made an effort to include various images of our staff, which are an essential ingredient in the Group’s success and we hope to expand this gallery going forward. On the results themselves, whilst the actual trading result is down on that of 2011, the continually tough trading environment means that it is likely all companies will be working even harder to maintain and expand our respective businesses in the next few years. The Indaba working group has been active in the coordination of financing activities. Most notable is the purchase of aircraft which is essential for developing the airline business and has been made possible from Group treasury resources. We also continue to work extensively with the intragroup activity and charges to regularise and manage the sharing of costs within the Group, particularly on shared activity or where one Group company provides support for another.

The various methodologies and systems concerning risk assessments continue to be reviewed and explored by all participants within the safety workgroup. The monthly exchange of events and completed monthly occurrence reports is well entrenched and is proving very valuable for each entity. This is an underlying principle of safety. The SMS culture; to share events, learn, and identify new markets, we have called in “pathfinders”, external specialists who help the ASL Group to open up new markets. Today, three “pathfinders” provide expertise to ASL: a specialist in North Africa Tour Operators markets and South-American companies, a financial expert well known by the leading European airlines and an expert in the Irish passengers market and its operators. These experts have already brought good contacts in the Tour Operators industry as well as inte-
tently, during the meeting and not afterwards is an acceptable standard. Notes of meetings or calls when taken as part of a structured meeting routine are the most reliable and accurate notes. Notes taken routinely are also considered more credible and the better defence, in a dispute over who said what, than notes taken on a one off occasion without practice. Always end notes with the action items - at least one should come out of every good meeting, even if not clearly identified. Notes, not typed and badly written in a hurry in your own unique shorthand are ok even if not the standard for sharing. They are still your notes that offer the power of recall and review. En Garde!
INDABA On the 28th February and 1st March 2013 a two day Indaba workshop took place in Malahide, County Dublin. On this occasion the group size was smaller with twenty five people representing all of our businesses. The purpose of the Indaba was to: > Identify improvement and profit generating projects and set priorities; > Project plan the key initiatives to deliver savings and growth in 2013; > Establish five teams based on project, previously teams had been based on function. Each team was sponsored by a Group Exco member and will be working with the wider Indaba teams: Jean-François Dominiak - Shared pool of aircraft Maurice Serinet - Shared flight watch, safety and pilot pool Dave Andrew - Base Maintenance David Slipper / Jean-François Dominiak respectively Marketing & Branding Colin Grant - Aircraft Spares and Component Support
mitigate and to attempt to prevent similar events occurring in the future. This will ultimately lead us to become more predictive in what we all do on a daily basis in terms of safety. Lastly, our vision for the ASL Safety workgroup is to keep the Group and its efforts relevant, productive and full of impact. A key focus area in this regard will be enhanced customer engagement and collaborative safety efforts with all Group customers to improve safety in all facets of the services which we all provide to our customers and how we engage with them in safety. resting leasing opportunities for the Group leasing branch. In order to extend its range of action, the marketing group is looking for a fourth “pathfinder” as it has identified a need for expertise in African markets, for the ATR in particular. This Africa expert should be able to connect us with qualified local contacts who will allow us to market the ATR. Indeed, ASL has particular expertise in all ATR matters from leasing to operations, maintenance and supply of spares.

fter Europe Airpost implemented the EFB2 flight bag on all its aircraft and Safair finalized a solution with the iPad, Air Contractors is now on its way to equip the flight deck with iPad too.
The story started in May last year when Safair commenced negotiations with Jeppesen, the company that provides navigation charts. At the end of 2011, discussions with Jeppesen failed when they advised us that our paper chart solution would increase by up to five times more than the present price. Safair then made contact with several other service providers, including Lido and Navtech. Safair applied to their CAA and were successfully allowed to change from Jeppesen to Navtech and also to use the iPad as an electronic flight bag. We made a deal with Navtech were they provide us with 69 airfields in the iPad application and all the airfields in the world except the American Continent on PDF. Consequently, Safair bought 70 iPad 2 and by the end of May 2012 had completed the transition to the Navtech charts. With this process, Safair led the way successfully, and Air Contractors is now adopting the iPad solution, continuing with our vision: to have a paper free flight deck in the near future.

SL is on the acquisition trail again. After extensive negotiations, that nearly came undone, ASL has closed a deal with GECAS to buy five High Gross Weight B 737-400 airplanes, all in passenger configuration. This fleet is in two tranches, three will come out of Turkey and two from Thailand.
The ex Turkish airplanes are indeed fine examples of well-maintained and documented aircraft, and are delivered fresh from a heavy structural check. They have been operated by a single operator since new and had every European mandate applied to them over their operating life. These three aircraft have been booked into AEI/CJI for conversion to freighters. During the conversion process some additional items; to meet Group operating standards as well as to exceed current environmental [noise] restrictions will be implemented. This adds to the current fleet of five ASL Group B 737-400 freighters and makes ASL one of the premier B 737 Classic cargo operators worldwide. The two aircraft from Thailand were previously operated by the low cost airline Nok Air. Following completion of maintenance the aircraft will be leased to Safair as passenger aircraft to further grow the lease and charter market in Africa. The project has involved Europe Airpost, Air Contractors and Safair technical departments and has even required some parts be provisioned via ACLAS, all in all a good opportunity to further cement the working relationships between the various Group companies.

ir Contractors crew recently required training due to the expansion of its fleet of B737 aircraft, flying on the DHL network. The Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO) within Europe Airpost stepped in and had the privilege of providing Type Conversion Training for their Air Contractors colleagues.
This training requirement fortunately coincided with the winter season decrease in flying activity within Europe Airpost which meant Type Rating Instructors (TRI) were available. A total of six experienced crews (six captains and six first officers) spent a month in Paris, going through the academic courses, simulator sessions, exams and circuit training. Their previous experience enabled them to go through the demanding course with no problems. It provided an excellent opportunity for the Europe Airpost instructors to share their experience on the operation of the B737. Furthermore, Europe Airpost instructors confirmed that their expertise and knowledge has also greatly improved as a result of this training process. We all take great pride in that achievement, all parties are satisfied and believe that there will be more opportunities in the near future to come up with “Group solutions” to “individual airline problems”.

The Gathering Ireland 2013
Edinburgh – turning back time!
This year Ireland plays host to what promises to be the biggest tourism initiative Ireland has ever staged. It goes by the name of ‘The Gathering Ireland’.
Edinburgh will have a tram running next year, following a gap of 58 years. The first trams to be introduced in Edinburgh were horse-drawn in November 1871. Seven years later, the first cable-hauled trams were taken into service.
This initiative was launched by the Irish Government and Tourism Ireland. The Gathering Ireland is about the bringing together of people and is predominantly led by the people and community groups. It invites anyone who has a link to Ireland or a love of Irish culture to come and visit. There are two main types of events happening; The Gatherings of friends and family near and far and secondly the bringing together of hundreds of festivals and events to celebrate and showcase Irish heritage, music, art, literature, sport, film and food. The Gathering Ireland’s first sponsorship was The Emerald Isle Classic, an American football bout between Notre Dame and Navy held in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on September 1st. On the more local front, the Gathering Ireland Volunteer Ambassador Programme has been introduced to encourage people who
South Africa, an incredible country South Africa is incredible in so many ways - it is the kind of place that will touch all of your senses in a myriad of ways, and once all is said and done you probably won’t be the same again. Our incredible diversity is a key attraction from the deserts of the Kgalagadi to the lush green forests of Tsitsikamma to the unspoilt beaches of the Wild Coast to the vibrant nightlife of Cape Town - we really do have it all. Our country is mercurial in nature, one moment you’ll be exploring the origins of ancient man, the next you’re cage-diving with Great White Sharks, safari game viewing the big five and the next you’re drinking traditional beer in a lively township shebeen. South Africa really is a country where you can experience it all.

are passionate about their town’s traditions and culture to come forward and greet visitors from across the globe and show them why Ireland is one of the best places in the world to visit.
In 1920 the Leith section of the tram system was electrified, the first electric system in Scotland, whilst Edinburgh continued to operate the cable system (a system still used by the San Francisco cable car).
For a little country, Ireland leaves a big impression so we encourage you to come and be part of the gathering – you never know, you may be surprised to find your Irish roots along the way. For further information on the Gathering Ireland 2013 visit www.TheGatheringIreland.com of unity and possibility. It has 11 official languages; there are nine spectacular provinces for you to explore - nine incredible diverse parts of the country that will open up your sense of possibility in ways you never thought possible. To top it all it has a sensational climate (with over 300 days of sunshine per year in some parts).
The Tour de France celebrated its centenary in 2003 but 2013 will be the real 100th Tour as some editions were cancelled because of the two world wars. From Saturday June 29th to Sunday July 21st 2013, the 100th Tour will be made up of 21 stages and will cover a total distance of nearly 3,500 kilometres! “The Tour”, also known as “La Grande Boucle” in France, is considered to be the world’s most prestigious bicycle race. Despite a series of doping scandals in recent years, this race remains a very popular event in France. Each year, it attracts thousands of people along the route and millions of television viewers. This special 100th edition has some nice surprises in store! For the first time, the Mediterranean island of Corsica will host the start of the race on Saturday June 29th. After 7 flat stages, 5 medium mountain stages, 6 mountain stages (with 4 summit finishes), 3 time-trial stages (2 individual time trials and 1 for teams) and 2 well-deserved rest days,
Southend is open for business Historically a centre for both passenger and cargo operations, London Southend Airport’s passenger business declined in the 1970’s with engineering and maintenance operations dominant. However, following its purchase by the Stobart Group in 2008 the airport has been extensively redeveloped. During 2011/2012, a replacement air traffic control tower became operational; a new, re-sited terminal, complete with restaurants and shops opened; a new executive business lounge was created and an extended runway opened. This has allowed the airport to accommodate the new generation of medium capacity, high-efficiency jets being adopted by regional airlines operating scheduled flights and shorter range holiday charters. New facilities supporting the expansion include the on-site Southend Airport railway station with frequent trains into central London and the four-star Holiday Inn Hotel adjacent to the airport entrance.
In 1922 it was decided to convert the entire system to electric traction. The system expanded between 1930 – 1937 but further extensions were curtained due to the outbreak of World War II. Prior to the termination of the trams in November 1956, the routes covered a distance of 76.04 km.The main reason for the move to buses was the inflexibility of the trams, one accident and the whole system would come to a halt. So, 52 years later, Edinburgh City Council decided to re-introduce them. Work began in 2008 causing disruption to the entire centre of Edinburgh City. The cost of the project has spiralled. The completion date of February 2011 has been and gone with a new date being mid-2014. The initial costs for the project were estimated to be £498 million, but due to contractual disputes, costs have escalated and are estimated to be in excess of £776 million. In order to stop the costs rising further, parts of the project were cancelled. When the trams start running commercially in 2014, Edinburgh will gain a tram line that runs for all of 13 km.
