British Airways to Grow Fleet After Profit Leap in 2015 British Airways owner IAG SA said it’s making progress in talks to add more wide-body jets at the U.K. carrier in order to tap surging demand after profit across the group jumped 68 percent in 2015. Chief Executive Officer Willie Walsh said Friday that he’s in detailed discussions with potential suppliers of used Boeing Co. 777-300ER aircraft and is continuing to look at leasing a batch of A380 superjumbos. Operating profit increased to 2.34 billion euros ($2.6 billion) from 1.39 billion euros in 2015, IAG said, with a similar gain forecast this year. IAG is establishing itself as Europe’s most profitable airline as Air France-KLM Groupand Deutsche Lufthansa AG grapple with unions over cost cuts. Ireland’s Aer Lingus, added to the books in August, will provide a full year of earnings in 2016, while a potentially lucrative joint venture deal with Latam Airlines Group SA could spur profit from next year “We’ve made good progress on 777-300s, had discussions with a number of potential suppliers,” Walsh said on a conference call. “We’re very encouraged, we like that aircraft. We’ve had some discussions on A380, not as detailed as the discussions we’ve had on the 777-300 ERs.” Traffic Surge The CEO said that it’s “undoubtedly been a good year, but it’s also been challenging with extreme volatility in the currency and fuel markets.” The trans-Atlantic and European markets are performing best, he said. Full-year earnings were in line with IAG’s forecast for adjusted operating profit between 2.25 billion euros and 2.3 billion euros, while analysts had predicted a figure of 2.3 billion euros, and 3.1 billion euros this year. The company’s shares traded 2 percent lower at 547 pence as of 8:11 a.m. in London. Walsh’s rush for growth following the formation of IAG via a merger of BA with Spain’s Iberia in 2011 has seen a succession of deals securing takeovers of British Midland, Barcelona-based discounter carrier Vueling and Aer Lingus. IAG’s passenger traffic surged 9.6 percent in the year, making it bigger than Lufthansa and bringing it within range of Air France-KLM by the most popular measure for ranking airlines. It is already the top network carrier by value, with a market capitalization of 11.3 billion pounds ($14 billion) versus 6.4 billion euros at Lufthansa and 2.5 billion euros at Air France- KLM.
http://www.atn.aero/ Boost for new European airline association Just shortly after its launch Airlines for Europe (A4E), Europe’s new airline association, announced the first new airline members. Norwegian, Europe’s third largest low-cost carrier based in Oslo, and network airline Finnair based in Helsinki agreed to join A4E and work hand in hand with its founding members Air France KLM, easyJet, International Airlines Group (IAG), Lufthansa Group and Ryanair. “Airlines for Europe is open for business and ready to represent the interests of all European airlines. We will grow our member base over the next months, uniting more European airlines to take forward changes that will increase our competitiveness and result in lower fares and more choice for passengers. I am thrilled to welcome Norwegian and Finnair to A4E”, said Thomas Reynaert, A4E’s Managing Director. Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos said: “Norwegian has always believed in healthy competition among airlines to create more choice and lower fares for passengers. But we also firmly believe in an industry where low-cost and network carriers can unite to tackle the many issues we all face together. We are delighted to join Airlines for Europe to add our voice to the important debate about the huge challenges and opportunities our industry faces in the future.” “Finnair looks forward working with A4E to enhance the dialogue with the key European stakeholders. We welcome the initiative to gather European airlines under the same roof regardless of their business model”, noted Pekka Vauramo, Finnair CEO. “Aviation is a significant contributor to the European economic growth and employment. Therefore it is vital that we participate in discussions on issues on common interest concerning our industry.” Thomas Reynaert reemphasised A4E welcoming the European Commission’s Aviation Strategy for a stronger and more competitive European aviation industry but called on the EC to address large scale airport monopolies by removing high charges, taxation and inefficiencies within the aviation supply chain.

Remarks of Tony Tyler at the Aviation Day USA, New York City
Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO, spoke at the Aviation Day USA event in New York today, hosted by The Wings Club and IATA. In his remarks, he urged aviation stakeholders to work together to address key issues facing aviation: Ensuring the industry’s continued economic viability Development of infrastructure to keep up with rising demand for connectivity; and Meeting the industry’s environmental commitments Tyler cited the successful partnership on aviation safety as a template for how industry and governments should cooperate to address these challenges.
http://www.iata.org/ Remarks of Tony Tyler at the Aviation Day USA, New York City Good morning. It’s always a pleasure to be back in New York, one of the world’s great cities and the center of the global financial community. I’d like to thank the Wings Club for joining with us to host this event and Airlines for America for their strong support. Thanks are also owed to our generous sponsors. Without them, events like this would not be possible. I think it is fair to say that commercial aviation and New York each make a huge contribution to the other’s success. Aviation provides the global connectivity that sustains New York’s status as the hub of the financial world and a top tourist destination; and New York is certainly among the most important destinations for the more than 80 airlines that serve the three major metropolitan airports. Thus, this is an ideal location to host what I hope is the first of many Aviation Days. Looking around the room, I’m impressed by the breadth and depth of industry knowledge, and by the diversity of aviation stakeholders represented here. We have airlines, airports, equipment manufacturers, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), regulators and the investment community. We are connected through the shared conviction that aviation makes the world a better place. And the strength of aviation lies in the working together approach we take to address industry challenges. In fact, partnerships and collaboration are in our collective DNA. Perhaps that is because every single flight is the result of close cooperation between many different stakeholders, including airlines, airports, ground service providers and ANSPs. Safety Partnerships have been critical to our most successful achievement, which is safety. By working together we have made flying the safest form of long-distance travel the world has ever known. Last week we released data on the industry’s safety performance for 2015. The global accident rate was one major accident for every 3.1 million flights. This was a 30% improvement compared to the previous five-year rate of one major accident for every 2.2 million flights. Furthermore, there were zero jet hull loss accidents that resulted in passenger fatalities in 2015. The four fatal hull loss accidents all involved turboprop equipment. I must qualify this figure, because two tragedies—the loss of Germanwings 9525 and Metrojet 9268— are not included in the totals as they were deliberate events, not accidents. Indeed, 2015 is similar to 2014 in this regard. If you look at the last two years, the industry’s safety performance has been affected primarily by events that could be classified as “unthinkable”. In 2014 we had the disappearance of an aircraft with no obvious cause and another shot down over a conflict zone. In 2015 the headlines focused on two terrible air disasters: One in which a pilot deliberately took his own life and those of all on-board; and one in which the aircraft is believed to have been destroyed by an act of terrorism. There are no simple solutions to the issues raised by these tragedies. But the best way to honor those who lost their lives is by re-dedicating ourselves to making flying even safer. In that regard I am proud that IATA participated in the Aviation Rulemaking Committee created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the subject of pilot mental and emotional health, as well as on the Task Force on Risks to Civil Aviation Arising from Conflict Zones established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
http://www.iata.org/ Remarks of Tony Tyler at the Aviation Day USA, New York City These tragic and unexpected events have re-emphasized that we must always be alert to emerging hazards to ensure that they are addressed before they become safety threats. One example that is in the news almost every day is drones, or as ICAO refers to them, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems. Don’t get me wrong. As someone who has spent his entire adult life in aviation, it’s great to see aviation reach a new audience. We are only beginning to discover the many potential commercial applications of this technology. And it would be naïve to think that States and military forces will reduce their use of drones. They are here to stay. But we must not allow them to become a drag on the efficiency of the airways or a safety threat to commercial aviation.
Of course, the great majority of drone operators pose no risk. But we do need a sensible approach to regulation and a pragmatic method of firm enforcement for those who disregard rules and regulations and put others in danger. The issue is real. We have plenty of pilot reports of drones where they were not expected, particularly in the airport environment, but also at altitude.
Appropriately, there is a lot of work being done in this area. IATA welcomes FAA’s activity and is supporting the “Know Before You Fly” campaign to educate prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of drones. And we are working closely with ICAO as well as stakeholders representing airports, ANSPs and pilots, to agree a common approach.
I am confident that by working together we can address the challenges posed by drones while benefiting from their tremendous potential.
