Global Airlines, a #british startup carrier, announced on Friday that it has fully acquired an Airbus A380 jet previously held by China Southern Airlines. The 11-year-old plane, known as MSN 120, has been in storage in the Mojave Desert since December 2022, when it completed the necessary return-to-service #maintenance and was re-registered in Malta as 9H-GLOBL, according to the #business, without specifying the price. Purchasing an #aircraft is an interesting decision for Global because airlines, particularly startups, normally do not seek used A380s. "A lot of people predicted we wouldn't get this far, and I couldn't be happier to be giving MSN 120 a second chance," #Globalfounder and CEO James Asquith said, according to Simple Flying on Monday. "Purchasing an aircraft takes a phenomenal amount of time, and over the past year, we, with support from partners, have been putting the building blocks in place to take full #ownership of the aircraft and plan its first flight," he said. However, MSN 120 is not the same plane that Global claimed to have acquired in May 2023. According to CNN, the aircraft was registered as 9H-MIP and previously belonged to #singaporeairlines, not China Southern. CNN stated at the time that the agreement was worth "eight figures." It is unclear what occurred with 9H-MIP. Global did not immediately react to inquiries concerning the two distinct A380 aircraft. Following the purchase of MSN 120, Global intends to acquire three more A380s and commence #commercialflights "later this year," the company stated. However, the Center for Aviation indicated that the schedule had already been pushed back from this spring to late 2024. According to CNN, the airline wants to fly #transatlantic between the United States and the United Kingdom, beginning in London and continuing to New York and Los Angeles. Portuguese charter airline HiFly, with #airbus help, will operate the planes on Global's behalf while the company pursues its own aircraft operator's certificate, Flight Global stated. "The renaissance of the A380 is really the focus of Global Airlines," HiFly CCO Richard Stephenson stated in a December video broadcast by the company. "We're going to be responsible for a huge part of that secondary market for the A380, and the second coming of the A380." Asquith, a #travelexpert noted for becoming the youngest person to visit every country on the planet, established Global in 2021. Despite his confidence, Asquith has faced criticism for the airline's projected #businessplan, particularly because the A380 did not meet Airbus's commercial expectations. https://lnkd.in/fzpnPPW #superjumbo #aviation #airline #startup #globalairlines #businesstravel #tourism #A380 #news #britishstartup #startupairline #newairline #newyork #businesschallenge #aviationinnovation CAPA - Centre for Aviation Benjamin Safari FlightGlobal Christina Gadsby Katie Mann Travel Weekly

Indigo is popular for its low cost model in Indian aviation sector. This time, it has something new, or can we say quite expected, in its arsenal to attract passengers and grow its business. Not shrinking its ticket prices but planned for stretching its services now. By November 2024, Indigo is launching business class service, 'Stretch'. First flite is planned to fly on Delhi Mumbai route. Eventually, it will then scale up to other metro-to-metro routes by end of 2025. This thought of expansion seems to be raised from these perspectives: 1. At present, only Air India & Vistara have business and premium class services. Indigo can tap this opportunity to serve into these classes combined with the opportunity to target domestic corporate traffic. 2. People are also aspiring to fly and have disposable income to accomplish this aspirations. They are willing to pay premium for priority services and comfort. So, why not to Stretch? **** Along with this, by end of FY2024-25, Indigo is also planning to start catering its services into mid-haul category targeting destinations of Europe and Japan. Thus, expanding into international market. Further, in the long term, it is aspiring to expand in long-haul category as well, with the proposition of 'more business with more planes'. **** Importantly, Indigo has aim to pursue these targets without compromising its competitive edge in cost leadership. Interesting to look in this phase of growth, how Indigo remains dedicated to providing choice, affordability, and a superior flying experience to its customers. **** If you are into a business or willing to get into or simply interested to read more about #business , #management , #strategy , #entrepreneurship , #internationalbusiness etc. follow PRATIK BHARATI .

Airline Startup: New Airline Fly 4 Will Not Sell Its Own Tickets A brand new wet lease startup airline, Fly 4, a joint venture between Polish charter carrier Enter Air and German leisure giant TUI Fly, is set to commence operations in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2024. Under the ACMI model, Fly 4 will not sell tickets or initiate flights. Instead, the airline will specialize in offering capacity solutions to carriers, particularly Enter Air and TUI. In practical terms, this involves leasing out its aircraft and crews to enhance the operational capabilities of customer airlines. In its initial phase, Fly 4 will collaborate with Enter Air and TUI. However, the airline has ambitions to establish itself as a leading ACMI service provider in Europe.
