These Airlines Could Fail Soon..

Last year Air Berlin and Monarch ceased operations, this year it's been Primera Air. In this video we'll discuss a few airlines that could unfortunately cease operations also. This could be due to poor strategic alignment, problems with cash flow or mishandling by the management.

currently in april 2019, wow air and jet airways have ceased to operate

[alexmnblyth]

Two things I believe in

1: Eggs

2: airBaltic becoming a very successful airline

If Icelandair and Wow Air fail then Iceland is left without an airline.

It's years since Alitalia could go broke but it simply doesn't. Since the bankruptcy Italian government is continuing giving money to maintain Alitalia in operations. Last time was in February and the government gave 600 million euros! Insane!

Icelandair are an amazing airline and I couldn't bear to see them disappear

Looks like Thomas Cook went this year.

Another candidate should be Insel Air based on the island of Curacao. Insel Air is struggling.

Lufthansa may have an average passenger experience, not really competitive with Emirates, Qatar and Singapore for example (with the exception of their fantastic first class), they sure know how to manage an airline. They have dominated markets and can even challenge Ryanair and easyjet with the battle for the markets in which they clash.

I believe OnurAir, an airline based in Turkey, could fail soon as they terminated a lot of domestic routes last week. They have a lot of competition both low cost and full carrier wise in Turkey.

I could see Frontier or Allegiant declaring Bankruptcy soon

[ABCDEFG-cjmr]

I guess the COVID-19 came to finish them off...

[totsku]

My dad quit Primera a year before it went bankrupt and got hired by flydubai straight away

I don't want to see Iceland air die, their livery is so gorgeous.

As an aviation enthusiast, at 0:30 i got so fucking scared seeing a B747 land so hard like dat until i realised, its sped up

[bluemilk]

I’m Italian and I gotta say...
I would have rather had Air Italy that Alitalia 😞

South African Airways should be gone. The govt bails them out all the time. With our tax money

Main reason many of these airlines could fail is the enormous cost of aircraft.

They don’t have the purchasing power of the likes of Southwest in American or Ryan Air who order in bulk 300-500 of the same plane. They can deal down the price from $60-70 million to $30-35 million per plane, take one new one per week for 10 years sell the oldest one off for close to what they paid when new or just send them off to be scrapped.

Next is fuel speculation where when done well can save airlines 15-40% on fuel but it has to be done in $$$$ amounts that these small airlines can’t come close to.

In 1970 the cost of the state of the art 747 was $24 million per airframe, adjusted for inflation in 2015 it should have cost $150 million but actually cost $370 million. Even negotiating a 50% discount would only get the price down to $220million still way more than it should be.

Airlines need to compete but when rules and laws keep changing it is hard to do, Take noise and emissions, you order the newest aircraft and pay good money for them then the rules change and now the aircraft need to be 20% more efficient but you have only received half of what you ordered and the new planes will be 40% more expensive, a vicious circle.
