Also KLIA managed to penetrate into the World's Top 30 list for the busiest/most cargo traffic. KLIA's cargo handling is the 28th busiest in the world in 2014 with 776,727 metric tonne, growth of +8.7%. Unchanged from 2013's ranking.

 

This is a VERY good development, since in the past KLIA does not seem to bother about its cargo segment (stagnant at +-600,000 tonne for years, although its cargo capacity is 1.2 million tonne).

CNY falls in Q1 should be a peak season for holiday makers. Drop in load factor could be caused by 1. increased fare 2. increased competition from VN, MH 3. drop in outbound pax from KUL. 4. further drop in pax from China.

CNY falls in Q1 should be a peak season for holiday makers. Drop in load factor could be caused by 1. increased fare 2. increased competition from VN, MH 3. drop in outbound pax from KUL. 4. further drop in pax from China.

Q1 is traditionally the weakest month for travel after a bumper Q4. However, D7's performance is highly disappointing but there are circumstances that can explain the situation. In addition to your points above, here are some more:

 

  1. No marketing done in the aftermath of QZ8501
  2. MH still has not cut Australian market capacity
  3. China and North Asia underperforming
  4. Lack of new routes to spur demand from new customers
  5. Fewer connecting pax from Australia

D7 is really between a rock and a hard place. In an attempt to boost their business, they started Thai and Indonesian JVs. These did not start up well due to regulatory problems.

 

With many more new aircraft joining the fleet this year, I can see that they will have problems with aircraft utilisation rates. Unless they are aggressive with their wet leases and charters, there are going to be many aircraft parked and idle. They badly need new routes as existing routes are already saturated and cannot accept more frequencies.

 

On a personal note, I was on board D7's HND flights last week. The load was quite poor on both outbound and inbound - no more than 70%. Last year I was on their flights to ADL and NGO and noted the loads were around 50% - both these routes were suspended later. Will HND go the same way? I think D7 will probably suffer the losses because HND slots are like gold dust. But it is bad for the bottom line.

 

The D7 AGM will take place on 4 June - will be interesting to hear what shareholders have to say...

They can only afford to do one daily to Tokyo I think. My HND flight last year in June was full to the brim. That was before NRT came online. If they need to axe one it will and should be NRT. Like u said. HND slots are gold

KUALA LUMPUR (July 31): Budget airline AirAsia Bhd carried 10% more passengers to 12.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 (2Q15), in line with the 10% increase in capacity.

 

As at June 30, 2015, the airline’s total fleet size stood at 172, an additional of six aircraft from the year-ago period. The capacity measured in available seat kilometres (ASK) rose by 10% to 18.05 million from 16.39 million in 2Q14.

 

It also recorded 14.26 million revenue passenger-kilometres (RPK) for 2Q15, up 11% from 12.81 million in 2Q14. AirAsia maintained a load factor of 79% in 2Q15.

AirAsia Group Q2 2015 passenger numbers up 10%

 

 

 

In 2Q15, the Group[1] maintained a load factor of 79%. Number of passengers carried increased
double digit by 10% year-on-year (“YoY”) to 12.40 million in line with the 10% increase in capacity.
At the end of the quarter under review, the Group’s total fleet size stood at 172, an additional of 6
aircraft YoY.
Malaysia AirAsia (“MAA”) maintained a strong load factor of 80% in 2Q15. The number of passengers
carried during the reported period saw a 7% increase YoY to 5.95 million which is in line with the
increase in capacity at 7%. The increase in the number of passengers carried was also attributed to
the recovery of demand from China from May onwards. MAA ended the quarter with a total fleet of
80 aircraft. In 2Q15, MAA started operating one new route: Kuala Lumpur - Visakhapatnam.
Thai AirAsia (“TAA”) continued to post a solid load factor of 80% in 2Q15, up 2 percentage points
(“ppts”) YoY. Number of passengers carried increased by 26% YoY at 3.54 million, slightly ahead of
the 23% increase in capacity resulting from the improvement in the political situation in Thailand
which led to a more favourable performance in the tourism sector. During the quarter under review,
TAA took in 1 additional aircraft and comparing YoY, TAA has added 6 aircraft allowing them to end
the quarter with a total of 43 aircraft. TAA operated one new route this quarter: Bangkok – Buri
Ram, and added frequencies on an existing route: Bangkok - Phuket.
Indonesia AirAsia (“IAA”) recorded a load factor of 73% in 2Q15. This is as expected as the lack of
marketing in the first quarter following the QZ8501 incident affected the forward bookings in 2Q15.
The number of passengers carried stood at 1.63 million on the back of 12% decrease in capacity as
IAA goes through a rationalisation plan. This involves shifting focus to international market where
the associate has the number one market share and where the load factor is higher than the
domestic routes. IAA ended the quarter with a total fleet of 29 aircraft, down 1 from the same
quarter last year. No new routes or frequencies were added this quarter.
Philippines’ AirAsia (“PAA”) continued to report good improvement in load factor at 80% in 2Q15, up
3 ppts YoY. The number of passengers carried was at 0.98 million, an increase of 6% YoY ahead of
the 1% increase in capacity. No additional aircraft were added into PAA during the reported period
hence their fleet size at the end of June stood at 15 aircraft. PAA introduced one new route this
quarter: Manila – Hong Kong.
AirAsia India (“AAI”) again posted a high load factor of 83% in 2Q15 with a total of 0.30 million
passengers carried. AAI’s total fleet at the end of the quarter under review stood at 5 aircraft as 2
aircraft were added during the quarter. 5 new routes were introduced and operated this quarter:
New Delhi – Goa, Bengaluru and Guwahati; Guwahati – Imphal; and Bengaluru – Visakhapatnam.
Frequencies were increased on 2 existing routes: New Delhi – Goa and Bengaluru. AAI’s operating
statistics are disclosed and included in the Group’s numbers since 3Q14.

AirAsia X passenger numbers, load factor down in 2Q

 

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 11): AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) ( Financial Dashboard), the long-haul, low-cost affiliate of AirAsia Bhd ( Financial Dashboard), carried 20% fewer passengers and filled a smaller proportion of its seats in the second quarter of this year (2Q15) compared with the year-ago period.
AAX carried 810,944 passengers in the April-June 2015 period, down from 1.02 million a year ago. The airline's passenger load factor dropped 12 percentage points to 68% in 2Q15 from 80% in 2Q14.
Revenue-passenger-kilometres (RPK) for 2Q15 fell 23% to 3.89 billion from 5.04 billion in 2Q14, more than its capacity which fell 4% to 1.21 million from 1.26 million. RPK is a measure of sales volume for passenger traffic.
Available seat kilometers (ASK), which measures a flight's passenger carrying capacity, also dropped by 9% year-on-year to 5.69 billion from 6.27 billion as a result of frequency reduction to Australia as well as the termination of Adelaide and Nagoya services in 1Q15.

MAHB’s Malaysia system of airports handled 49million passengers up to July 2015


July 2015 passenger traffic could be considered impressive considering positive growth continued through until the end of the month despite the higher base at the end of July 2014. On like to like basis, comparing last week of July 2015 with the last week July of 2014, the traffic yielded a 5.5% growth, indicating existence of inherent demand for air travel.


Contrary to the previous months where there were many downs and minimal ups for Middle East, this sector posted a high double-digit growth of 14%. China traffic continued to grow at 16.8% in July 2015. South East Asia, South Asia, North Asia and Europe also recorded positive growth in July 2015.

The world’s largest airports' growth slowed in 2014 but Istanbul booms, Dubai takes #1 international

 

Airports Council International (ACI) has released the latest edition of the World Airport Traffic Report covering over 2,200 airports in more than 160 countries. Passenger numbers increased by 5.7% in 2014, to over 6.7 billion.
The global order is shifting, as airports in the Middle East and Asia continue their ascendance. Dubai finally took on the role of largest international airport in the world, even despite the closure of one of its two runways for some weeks.
Meanwhile, the 3.2% growth in North America only just outstripped Africa's, as airline consolidation turned the focus to airline profits over growth. Although Europe was spotty, average growth was 5.5%.
During 2014, the highest number of passengers used airports in the Asia-Pacific region but the largest growth was in the Middle East
1. Asia-Pacific (2.3 billion, +7.1%);
2. Europe (1.8 billion, +5.5%);
3. North America (1.6 billion, +3.2%);
4. Latin America-Caribbean (531 million, +6.4%);
5. Middle East (308 million, +10.8%);
6. Africa (180 million, +2.7%)
