Bonjour,
Spring semble se tirer de la crise qui
sévit aussi en Chine. Fondée en 2005, cette compagnie veut des Airbus single aile
supplémentaires ( 12 actuellement à moteur CFMI )

Une flotte de 12 A320-214, Moteurs CFM 56 5B4, tous en location ( Gecas,

Spring Airlines expects to
double profit, add more A320s
Spring Airlines expects to
nearly double its net profit to CNY40 million ($5.8 million) this year and is
planning a rapid fleet expansion despite shrinking domestic demand and the
global economic downturn.
Launched in July 2005, Spring
is one of the most profitable privately run carriers in China and reported net
earnings of CNY21 million last year. It maintained a load factor of 95% as it
established travel agencies to attract passengers.
Spring's fleet expansion
will be anchored by its strong balance sheet. This week it took delivery of its
first directly purchased A320--its other 11 are leased. It placed an order for
six A320s two years ago. The new aircraft is expected to operate from Shanghai
to western China. The carrier launched service to Lanzhou, Urumqi, Zhangjiajie
and Guiyang last month.
"We plan to introduce
fifteen more A320s through purchase in the coming days," Spring CEO Zhang
Xiuzhi said. The company is negotiating with Airbus on an order for 10 more
A320s, according to Chairman Wang Zhenghua.
"We have sufficient
financial support for our fleet expansion," Wang said. The Shanghai-based
carrier intends to move forward with a public offering instead of raising
capital through a private placement or introduction of strategic investors.
Spring's expansion is
fueled by its international ambitions. Wang said it plans to open routes to
Hong Kong and Macau this year and will apply for access to Japan, South Korea
and certain Southeast Asia countries next year. It currently operates 26
domestic routes. Meantime, it plans to spend about CNY100 million to hire more
than 30 pilots.
