ACTUALITE Aéronautique : Suivi et commentaire de l\'actualité aéronautique
M. O'LEARY a sa façon de faire ! Et il l'impose !RYANAIR is in talks with Boeing and Airbus about ordering up to 300 more aircraft in a deal that would make the low-budget carrier more than double the size of aviation giant British Airways.The order would be split in two separate delivery contracts of 200 aircraft followed by 100 more later.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary said that the airline could pay well over $7bn (Pounds 5bn) for the 200-aircraft deal with delivery starting in 2013.
MO'L aime faire du "hardball" !Ryanair did not engage in advanced talks on the aircraft order with either of the two plane builders as is normal industry procedures.
Instead, Mr O'Leary said that he was quite happy to wait until Boeing's and Airbus's 'order book collapses' due to the downturn in the world economy and falling passenger numbers to negotiate a better deal, he said.
The planes have a sticker price of about $70m (Pounds 50m) each but Ryanair expects to negotiate at least a 50pc discount to pay about Pounds 25m to Pounds 28.5m each, he said.
'The sticker price is $70m, but we'd never dream of paying anything like that,' Mr O'Leary told reporters after a news conference in Italy.
Oui ! Cela fait plus d'un an que nous sommes au courant de ce plan ! MO'L avait bien annoncé la couleur !Despite Ryanair's historic relationship with Boeing, O'Leary said he would order planes from Airbus if they offered a cheaper price. In that case, Ryanair would simply designate some of its airport bases as those for Airbus planes, he said.
Impressionnant !The planes would be delivered between 2013 and 2016. Ryanair has a fleet of 171 Boeing 737-800, and has firm orders to bring that up to 310 planes by 2012.
If Ryanair adds another 300 aircraft to its fleet by 2016, it would have just under 600 planes in total compared with BA's current fleet of 248.
Un rabais significatif ? Evidemment !Southwest, the pioneering U.S. low-cost airline, owns more than 500 planes.
Jim McNerney, Boeing chief executive, described the potential order as 'the deal of the year'. Ryanair is one of Boeing's biggest customers and in 2007 it acquired 27 Boeing 737-800s at a combined list price of $1.9bn (Pounds 1.4bn), though the airline is thought to have secured a significant discount.
Boeing & Airbus ne peuvent pas ignorer ce genre de RFP ! Rt ce genre d'opération "en herbe" montre bien pourquoi il n'y a aucune raison valable pour Boeing & / ou Airbus d'envisager de sitôt le remplacement de leurs familles respectives B737NG & A320 !Speaking ahead of the Paris Air Show, which takes place this week, Mr McNerney said discussions had began with Ryanair.
Objectif, même si "informel", ..... ambitieux et impressionnant !'I know there are some discussions. It is a very important order,' he said.
A Ryanair spokesman confirmed discussions had started on ordering aircraft that would be delivered from 2012. The airline operates about 190 Boeing aircraft, rising to 301 in 2012 when its order is completed. Michael O'Leary has set an informal target of 150 million passengers by 2016, compared to the 67 million customers that the airline expects to carry this year. In the medium term, it aims to carry 100 million passengers by 2012 - treble the amount carried by BA last year.
Bien évidemment !However, analysts cautioned that some of the aircraft ordered from 2012 onwards could be replacement planes for older aircraft earmarked for disposal, which would leave Ryanair with a smaller fleet.

Recession to Hit Ryanair This Winter
July 19, 2009

Analysis of: Ryanair to cut flights from Prestwick
Published at: www.theherald.co.uk
Summary
After Southwest Airlines, Ryanair is the world's best-known low-cost carrier (LCC), and recently boasted it now carries twice as many passengers as the UK's British Airways (forever enshrined in its own Hall of Fame as the world's favorite airline). Yet there are early indications Ryanair will reduce its services from Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, by up to 36% over winter 2009-2010. No airline is immune from the downturn, it seems, not even Europe's major LCC.
Analysis
Irish carrier Ryanair, which delivers some of the least enjoyable experiences available to an airline passenger outside the US but is still highly popular, could be on the verge of significantly reducing its winter 2009 capacity out of Glasgow Prestwick airport (less than 25 miles from where Stewart Cink won the Open Golf Championship yesterday).
Currently serving 24-25 cities from Prestwick (four times the network the airline operated from Prestwick a decade ago), there are reports Ryanair will cut eight or nine routes over the winter, effectively making an up-to-36% reduction in Prestwick capacity.
While, if true, this is very bad news for Prestwick's loss-making New Zealand-based infrastructure investment owners Infratil, the implications are far wider since the spare capacity is not being deployed elsewhere on the network. Ryanair has always based its capacity decisions (and therefore aircraft-purchasing plans) around a seasonal schedule, with relatively minor service reductions rather than outright withdrawal the norm.
However, if the LCC's Prestwick experience is replicated across other lower-level European bases (Ryanair has 30, of which at least half a dozen can be considered geographically peripheral or else overlapping adjacent bases and therefore ripe for reduction), then this adjustment could mark the start of a longer-term trend toward increased seasonality for all carriers, LCC and network, with consequent implications for aircraft acquisitions (ie Boeing and Airbus), aircraft leasing (ie ILFC and GECAS) and therefore aircraft finance.
Why own a 200-strong fleet in summer if you're only going to fly 150 aircraft in winter?
L’aéroport de Stansted va voir le nombre de ses passagers diminuer. Ryanair a en effet annoncé le 21 juillet qu’elle allait réduire de 40% ses capacités dans l’aéroport londonien à partir du mois d’octobre et de l’entrée en vigueur du programme hiver 2009-2010.
De quarante B737, la flotte basée à Stansted va passer à vingt-quatre appareils. La low-cost irlandaise estime que ces retraits feront diminuer ses vols hebdomadaires de 30% et que la plateforme perdra 2,5 millions de passagers entre octobre 2009 et mars 2010.
Trois raisons ont motivé cette décision. Stansted est tout d’abord la base la plus chère de Ryanair, après Dublin. Or, le gouvernement a annoncé une augmentation de la taxe touristique de 10 à 11 livres sterling à partir du mois de novembre et la BAA, qui gère l’aéroport, continue d’augmenter ses charges.
Les seize appareils que Ryanair va libérer seront donc redéployés sur d’autres bases en Europe où les taxes touristiques et/ou les charges aéroportuaires ont diminué pour stimuler le tourisme. C’est ainsi le cas en Belgique, en Espagne, en Grèce et aux Pays-Bas.
Stansted avait déjà subi une réduction de 14% des vols de Ryanair en 2008 et de 25% de sa flotte.

LONDRES, 2 oct 2009 (AFP)Le patron de la compagnie aérienne à bas coût Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, a affirmé vendredi que son groupe était prêt à revoir ses projets de croissance pour l'après-2012, s'il ne parvenait pas à conclure une commande d'avions avec Boeing ou Airbus d'ici la fin de l'année.

Ryanair threatens to delay, cancel Boeing 737 orders
RyanairMichael O'Leary, Ryanair's publicity friendly chief executive, very publicly asked Boeing for a discount Friday, according to an analyst's account.
Speaking at an investors day event, O'Leary threatened to suspend and potential cancel future 737 deliveries over price disagreements, according to an account by Morgan Stanley's Heidi Wood, reprinted at Leeham News and Comment.
Ryanair's 113 firm unfilled orders account for 5 percent of Boeing's 737 backlog, Wood wrote.
"In a world where nearly all other asset classes have substantially been re-priced atop adverse airline industry conditions, one can anticipate airlines will seek a better deal not only on future orders, but possibly on firm orders already placed and in (Boeing's) backlog," she wrote. "The problem is, if (Boeing) flinches on pricing for Ryanair, other airlines will likely demand a similar deal."
The problem for O'Leary is that the alternative, Airbus, could only give Ryanair a better deal by offering "a ridiculously low price that would then set the bar for future A320 orders from other customers."

Ryanair transported 6.1 million passengers in September, up 17% from the year-ago month. Load factor rose 1 point to 85%.

Irish budget carrier Ryanair is threatening to cancel or defer aircraft orders from Boeing, and temporarily stem its growth, if it fails to secure a fleet-renewal agreement this year.
The airline made the threat as it posted an 80% increase in after-tax profit, to €387 million ($571 million), for the half-year.
Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary says the airline has made "little progress" in its discussions with the airframer over a potential order for 200 aircraft for deliveries in 2013-16.
"We won't continue these discussions indefinitely and have signalled to Boeing that if they are not completed before the year end, then Ryanair will end its relationship with Boeing and confirm a series of order deferrals and cancellations," he says.
"We see no point in continuing to grow rapidly in a declining yield environment, where our main aircraft partner is unwilling to play its part in our cost-reduction programme by passing on some of the enormous savings which Boeing has enjoyed both from suppliers and more efficient manufacturing in recent years."
O'Leary had previously hinted, during a recent briefing in London, that he was prepared to curb the airline's expansion for a couple of years. He has not indicated how many aircraft in its backlog could be affected, but the airline still has some 100 Boeing 737-800s on firm order and options covering dozens more.
"We would prefer to grow, but if Boeing doesn't share our vision, then I believe that Ryanair should change course before the end of this fiscal year and manage the airline over the next three years to maximise cash for distribution to shareholders," says O'Leary.
"If we cannot invest our surplus cash efficiently in new aircraft, then we should distribute it to shareholders."
Ryanair's half-year passenger numbers were up 15% to 36 million, but revenue declined by 2% to €1.8 billion as average fares fell 17%.
The airline expects this slide in fares to reach 20% during the third and fourth quarters, and that it will make a loss during both quarters. But it is maintaining its full-year guidance, adding that the carrier will be "substantially profitable" - at the lower end of the €200-300 million range.
Ryanair's half-year profit figure excludes an exceptional €13.5 million impairment on its shareholding in Irish flag-carrier Aer Lingus.
Ryanair s'implante à Bordeaux
Transport aérien. Low cost.
La compagnie aérienne à bas prix Ryanair a annoncé hier s'installer à Bordeaux avec la mise en place de quatre lignes, à destination de Charleroi (Belgique) à partir du 17 décembre, de Porto (Portugal), Bologne (Italie) et d'Édimbourg (Écosse) à partir de mars.
Ryanair, qui exploite actuellement en France « 128 lignes » fréquentées par « 7,2 millions de passagers par an », envisage pour ces quatre nouvelles lignes - 14 vols hebdomadaires - une fréquentation de « 200.000 passagers par an » environ, a indiqué Ken O'Toole, directeur de développement des nouvelles lignes à Ryanair, lors d'une conférence de presse à l'aéroport de Bordeaux-Mérignac.
« Ces nouvelles lignes remplacent, comme pour Porto, des lignes fermées par d'autres compagnies ou visent des marchés qui fonctionnent bien dans les conditions économiques actuelles, comme Bologne ou Édimbourg », a-t-il expliqué.
Selon ce responsable, cette implantation est notamment motivée par la construction à Bordeaux d'une nouvelle aérogare destinée à accueillir les compagnies low cost et dont la mise en service est attendue pour mai 2010.
Cette aérogare devrait recevoir jusqu'à 2 millions de passagers par an, selon l'aéroport de Bordeaux. Actuellement, six compagnies à bas prix sont installées en Gironde, représentant 15 % du trafic à l'aéroport de Bordeaux (3,5 millions de passagers par an).
Ryanair reports surging first-half profit, issues Boeing, second-half warnings
Tuesday November 3, 2009
Ryanair yesterday threatened to cancel or defer aircraft orders from Boeing if it fails to secure a fleet-renewal agreement before year end as the LCC announced an adjusted net profit of €250.5 million ($368.5 million) in the fiscal second quarter ended Sept. 30, a 29.4% increase from the €193.6 million earned in the year-ago period.
Despite the improvement, CEO Michael O'Leary expressed frustration. "I regret to report that we have made little progress in our discussions with Boeing for an order of 200 aircraft for delivery between 2013 and 2016," he said, adding that the carrier informed the manufacturer that if the order is not finalized by year end, "then Ryanair will end its relationship with Boeing and confirm a series of order deferrals and cancellations. We see no point in continuing to grow rapidly in a declining yield environment where our main aircraft partner is unwilling to play its part in our cost reduction program by passing on some of the enormous savings which Boeing have enjoyed both from suppliers and more efficient manufacturing in recent years."
He added: "If we cannot invest our surplus cash efficiently in new aircraft, then we should distribute it to shareholders." By the end of November, Ryanair will operate a fleet of 210 737-800s with firm orders for a further 102 scheduled for delivery over the next 2.5 years. Some 48 aircraft were due to join its fleet next year.
Second-quarter operating revenue decreased 4% year-over-year to €992.1 million. Scheduled passenger revenue fell 6% to €811.1 million due to an 18% rise in passenger volume offset by a 20% decrease in average fare. Ancillary revenue grew by just 3% to €181 million and total revenue per passenger fell 19%. Load factor remained flat at 88%.
Operating expenses fell 16% to €694.2 million owing to a 42% decrease in fuel costs and a 5% reduction in unit cost excluding fuel. CASK including fuel fell 29%. Operating profit rose 41.4% to €297.9 million from €210.7 million last year.
For the fiscal first half, the Irish LCC increased adjusted net profit (excluding an exceptional €13.5 million impairment on its shareholding in Aer Lingus) by 80% to €387 million from the €214.6 million earned in the year-ago period.
"Ryanair's ability to grow both traffic and profits during the half year is a testament to the strength of Ryanair's lowest fare model and our relentless cost discipline," O'Leary said, while warning that both the third and fourth quarters will be loss-making as it expects average fares to decline by up to 20%. "Despite this, our full-year guidance remains unchanged and will be substantially profitable, at a time when many of our competitors are losing money, consolidating or going bust."

renoncer in extremis à commander 200 avions à Boeing car le constructeur américain veut modifier ses modalités de livraison, a déclaré son directeur général Michael O'Leary. Il avait averti le mois dernier que les discussions sur ce projet de commande de 200 appareils livrables entre 2013 et 2016 n'avaient que peu progressé et que la situation risquait de pénaliser la croissance de Ryanair. "Nous avons effectivement quasiment trouvé un accord avec Boeing sur le prix d'une commande de 200 avions (...) mais l'opération a peu de chances de se faire car maintenant ils veulent rediscuter pour modifier les conditions de livraison", a-t-il dit dans un entretien à Reuters. "La semaine dernière, nous avions plus ou moins trouvé un accord avec eux sur le prix et puis, pendant le week-end, ils ont voulu changer les modalités de livraison", a-t-il ajouté. "Nous prendrons une décision définitive en conseil d'administration jeudi prochain. A moins qu'ils ne modifient leur position d'ici la semaine prochaine, l'accord est caduc." Michael O'Leary, qui s'est forgé au fil des ans une réputation de négociateur particulièrement difficile, a précisé qu'il n'avait pas de projet alternatif qui consisterait à commander des avions à Airbus. "Nous ne discutons même pas avec Airbus pour l'instant", a-t-il dit. http://www.boursorama.com/infos/actualites/detail_actu_marches.phtml?num=a0233cbb5a6d177bfb42bbc1ed15d57b |
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jPd1-tSrLDKYztfElWeiC9ahz0GARyanair n'achètera pas de Boeing mais distribuera des dividendes à ses actionnaires
LONDRES — La compagnie irlandaise à bas coûts Ryanair a confirmé vendredi avoir mis fin à ses négociations avec Boeing pour l'achat de 200 Boeing 737-800 et affirmé qu'elle allait à la place distribuer une partie de l'argent aux actionnaires entre 2012 et 2015.
Dans un communiqué, Ryanair indique avoir décidé jeudi, lors de son conseil d'administration trimestriel, "que les négociations avec Boeing pour une commande pouvant porter sur 200 nouveaux B737-800 pour livraison entre 2013 et 2016 ne pouvaient être conclues de manière satisfaisante avant la fin de l'année calendaire". "En conséquence, la direction de Ryanair a confirmé que ces négociations avec Boeing s'étaient terminées sans succès".
Le directeur général de la compagnie, Michael O'Leary, avait déjà laissé envisager un tel résultat le 8 décembre, lors d'une conférence de presse à Bruxelles. Selon lui, Boeing et Ryanair avaient fini par s'entendre sur un prix --M. O'Leary est connu pour être un négociateur redoutable-- mais la signature du contrat achoppait sur des points de détail.
"Nous n'avons pas l'intention de rouvrir les discussions avec Boeing ou avec un autre fabricant", indique le patron. En revanche, cette décision va engendrer "une grosse réduction des dépenses en capital en 2011 et 2012, générant ainsi des surplus importants à distribuer entre 2012 et 2015", annonce-t-il.
Ryanair n'a encore jamais distribué de dividende.

La compagnie aérienne irlandaise à bas coûts Ryanair a annoncé l'arrêt temporaire à partir de fin janvier de ses vols domestiques en Italie en raison d'un litige qui l'oppose aux autorités italiennes sur l'identification des passagers. Cette suspension concernera, à partir du 23 janvier, tous les vols domestiques reliant les 10 aéroports italiens, où opère Ryanair, indique-t-elle dans un communiqué.
La compagnie souhaite protester ainsi contre une ordonnance émise à son encontre le 17 novembre par l'autorité de l'aviation italienne (Enac), l'obligeant à accepter des passagers munis d'un des documents d'identité valables en Italie, y compris "le permis de conduire, un badge de travail ou une carte de pêche".
La compagnie irlandaise, qui n'enregistre à l'embarquement que les passagers munis de passeport ou de carte d'identité, a présenté un recours auprès du Tribunal administratif régional (Tar). Mais son recours a été repoussé le 17 décembre.
"Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour les inconvénients que cette décision entraînera pour nos passagers italiens voyagant sur les vols domestiques. Mais il est incorrect de la part de l'Enac d'introduire des mesures qui réduisent la sécurité sur les vols domestiques italiens par rapport aux mesures de sécurité que nous adoptons sur tous nos autres vols", a déclaré le patron de la compagnie Michael O'Leary.
"A partir du moment où ces règles d'identification sont approuvées par tous les passagers, l'Enac n'a aucune justification pour interférer dans les procédures de sécurité de Ryanair", a-t-il ajouté.
"Ryanair est la seule compagnie européenne et internationale qui prétend voler en Italie sans respecter les lois italiennes", a riposté l'autorité de l'aviation italienne Enac, qui précise être intervenue sur cette question suite aux protestations de plusieurs passagers italiens de Ryanair, refoulés à l'embarquement faute de voir accepter leur document d'identification.
