Some low-cost airlines in PH may close, says analyst


MANILA, Philippines – A Sydney-based airline analysis company said Cebu Pacific is the only profitable low-cost carrier operation in the Philippines and that one or more of the other four could close this year.

Center for Aviation, known as CAPA, said the PAL group will also probably survive.

That would leave SEAIR, which is allied with Singapore's Tiger Airways, Malaysia's Air Asia and Zest Air possibly on the chopping block.

CAPA said there are too many planes, forcing the airlines to cut prices too deeply.

CAPA said that while the PAL group, which is refleeting after a $500 million takeover by San Miguel would probably survive, its outlook is bleak because of a long-haul operation that's hampered by being banned from the US and Europe.

CAPA said that while PAL is hoping the Philippines gets a Category 1 rating from the US Federal Aviation Authority this year allowing Philippine carriers to fly there it could take longer than that. -- ANC

akala ko ba 2013 will be a good year for the Philippines?

BAH! those analysts... If the economy is good for PH this year then it is very unlikely for them to close.

MANILA, Philippines—Passenger traffic is expected to further increase in the Clark International Airport with the scheduled opening of the TriNoma-Clark Airport Lounge today (Tuesday), January 15, improving connection between the Clark International Airport and Metro Manila and the rest of the South.
The TriNoma-Clark Airport Lounge will provide dedicated buses that will ply directly to the Clark Airport on a 24-hour basis.

CIAC president and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano said the Clark Airport Lounge is a dedicated bus service for Metro Manila passengers who will take their flights at the Clark airport.

“Connectivity to Metro Manila will be much improved when a dedicated first class bus service will start plying their route via TriNoma-Clark-TriNoma with affordable fare of only P200.00,” Luciano said.

He said that four bus firms will provide the transportation namely: Philtranco, Genesis, Victory Liner and Five Star.

“The Clark Airport Lounge is fully furnished located at the TriNoma Mall which is open 24/7 and passengers would have a taste of the first class amenities of the lounge.”

The Clark Airport Lounge is equipped with comfortable waiting area, secured luggage counter, and real-time flight status updates.

On January 15, CIAC formally launches the Clark Airport Lounge that will start plying the route to Clark airport in a bid to attract more Metro Manila and the Southern Tagalog residents to experience seamless travel via Clark.

During the launch, CIAC and TriNoma signs a memorandum of agreement for the establishment of the Clark Airport Lounge that will provide service to passengers in Metro Manila and the rest of Southern Tagalog.

Last year, Clark Airport posted 1.3 million passenger volume due to the increase flights of various airlines operating at the 2,367-hectare Clark Civil Aviation Complex. Clark Airport is the fastest growing airport in the country today.

Among the airlines operating are Air Asia Philippines, Air Asia Berhad, Cebu Pacific Air, Seair-Tiger, Airphil Express, Jin Air, Zest Air, Asiana Airlines and Dragonair.

Tiger Air siguro ang mauuna.

Our flight last January to HK was cancelled without informing us beforehand. We just learned about it when we arrived at the airport. Buti nalang maraming ibang airlines that fly to HK at almost the same departure time.

Then, our flight to Bangkok next week, also with Tiger Air, was rescheduled from an early morning departure to an afternoon departure.

What's going on with Tiger?

What's going on with Tiger?

1. Plane break-downs are causing a jumble up in scheduling?
2. Lack of revenues due to seat sales not being fully accounted for, forces the flight to be merged with another flight?

The local Tiger Air flights are operated by Sea Air right? Same problems happen?
