Etihad Airways' focus on break-even for 2011, profit in 2012

Etihad Airways looks certain to make 2011 a milestone year, carrying the positive momentum of 2010 into the new year. The carrier reported revenue over last year grew 29% year-on-year and continued growth in 2011 is expected to see it post a break-even result this year. Profits are forecast for 2012, a goal Eithad Airways has had its eye on for some time.


Break-even is now the carrier’s chief priority, although investment in routes and infrastructure are not going to take a backseat this year. 2010 was a “year to celebrate” said CEO James Hogan, but the carrier has no intention of taking anything for granted, given the depth of competition it faces from near neighbours as well as carriers in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Unpacking a successful 2010

Etihad Airways reported revenue of USD2951 million in 2010, up 29.2% from the USD2285 million in the previous year. The carrier has not disclosed a net profit or loss figure, but confirmed that earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDAR) was been positive for the full year, for the first time. Etihad consciously slowed growth in 2010, in order to concentrate on improving its bottom line.

Cost figures were not released by the airline, but Etihad stated that it has beaten its own cost reduction targets for the year. Eithad aimed to take USD250 million in expenses out of the business in 2010, a target it managed to better that target by USD70 million over the year. At the same time, the airline added nearly 800 staff, increasing is workforce to more than 6300.

Passenger numbers rose to 7.1 million passengers in 2010, growth of 13.1% year-on-year. Overall traffic (RPKs) rose 20.1%, from 27.8 billion to 33.4 billion, as the airline took delivery of larger aircraft and flies longer routes. Etihad increased its fleet from 45 to 51 aircraft in 2010.

Capacity (ASKs) increased 19.5% to 45.1 billion, compared to 2009’s 37.8 billion. As capacity growth was outstripped by demand, passenger load factor was 74%, an improvement of 0.5ppts over 2009.

Etihad launched services to Alexandria, Baghdad, Colombo, Erbil, Nagoya, Seoul and Tokyo in 2010. The addition of the long-haul destinations in the Asia Pacific has seen the region match Europe in terms of where Etihad is deploying its capacity.



Etihad’s highest capacity routes are Bangkok, London, Bahrain, Manila, Doha, Kuwait City, Sydney and Jeddah. The carrier plans to increase capacity on Abu Dhabi-Jeddah services to 12 times weekly from 01-Feb-2011, as well as increasing Beijing and Bangalore services to daily frequency during the year.



Cargo operations had a particularly strong recovery, as Etihad Crystal Cargo, the airline’s dedicated cargo unit, added two A330Fs to its fleet, increasing its total fleet to six aircraft. Cargo revenue increased 57.4%, although the carrier did not reveal a specific figure. Route development, as well as the addition of the dedicated freighters, also boosted cargo operations.

The year also saw the carrier introduce its first all-economy operations, with 162-seat A320s. The all-economy aircraft will initially operate to be Alexandria, Calicut, Colombo, Damascus, Doha and Thiruvananthapuram, but will be expanded to other short-haul destinations featuring high demand for economy traffic and low demand for premium traffic. Plans are in place to expand the all-economy fleet to ten A320s.

The single-class aircraft will also be used to develop the carrier’s network to new short haul-destinations that cannot justify premium seats at present, but have significant growth potential. Etihad is expected to use the service to expand operations into key point-to-point markets in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.

Outlook for improving performance

For 2011, Mr Hogan sees some encouraging market trends. The carrier managed to increase passenger numbers and yields despite a number of one-off incidents during the year, and is “seeing a growing confidence in many of our international markets, pointing to a strong performance in 2011”.

Mr Hogan has noted the return of premium travellers, particularly on its heavily travelled routes into Europe, Asia and Australia. The carrier’s forward bookings “look positive” said the CEO.

Etihad is also witnessing “particularly strong benefits from our Virgin Blue alliance”, although the agreement between the carriers has only just been put in place. The alliance between the airlines will see them cooperate on joint pricing and scheduling of services across their networks. It was given a tentative authorisation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in mid-Dec-2010. The airlines will offer a joint network of more than 100 destinations, as well as integrating their frequent flyer programmes.

Etihad is determined to remain independent and free of the airline alliance system, but had built a strong web of codeshares and agreements with partners under Mr Hogan. Etihad Airways has 23 codeshare partners, offering more than 170 codeshare routes.

2011: The most important year

The carrier is due to add five new widebodies and a single narrowbody to its fleet, adding much needed capacity on long-haul routes. Two new destinations are also due to be announced for this year.

After 2011, the carrier’s fleet expansion will only accelerate, with more long-range B777s due to join the fleet in 2012/13, and A380 and B787 deliveries tentatively scheduled to commence in 2014. Etihad has pushed back its A380 order several times, given Airbus’ production problems with the type and its desire to wait until its business model and route network are “better suited to competitive commercial opportunities offered by this aircraft”. Etihad plans to increase its fleet to 109 aircraft by 2016 and 152 aircraft by 2020.

Etihad’s 2011 summer schedule targets destinations in the US, China and Europe, adding capacity into destinations such as Paris, Manchester, Geneva, Milan, Beijing and Chicago, as it aims to bring more of its routes to daily frequency.

According to Mr Hogan, 2011 will be “one of the most important” in the carrier’s short history, as it looks to add “depth and scale” to its operations. Etihad’s increasingly mature operations will drive its bottom line, although it will need strict discipline to keep its costs in check as it continues to expand its fleet and network.

ATW Home » Aircraft / Engines / Components » Etihad reduces 787 order, replaces some with 777sEtihad reduces 787 order, replaces some with 777s
By Cathy Buyck | March 14, 2011
Etihad Airways reduced its order for 35 787s by four aircraft and instead exercised options on three 777s to safeguard it expansion, the airline said last week following a report in The Seattle Times. The three 777s will be delivered in 2013 and buffer the Dreamliner delivery delay.

Boeing on Jan. 18 announced the seventh delay in the program and Etihad now will start taking delivery of its 787s in late 2014 (ATW Daily News, Jan. 19).

Etihad placed an order for up to 205 aircraft, comprising 100 firm orders, 55 options and 50 purchase rights at the Farnborough Airshow in July 2008 (ATW Daily News, July 15, 2008). The firm order included 35 Dreamliners and 10 777-300ERs, powered by GE90 engines; 20 A320s and 25 A350s, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines; and 10 A380s. The Airbus options were for five A320s, 10 A350s and five A380s, together with purchase rights for a further 15 A320s, 15 A350s and five A380s. It agreed with Boeing on options for 25 787s and 10 777-300ERs, and purchase rights for a further 10 787s and five 777s.

Press Release Etihad sui risultati H1 2011

Press Release - July 13, 2011


RECORD H1 FOR ETIHAD AS 28 PER CENT INCREASE IN REVENUES CONTRIBUTES TO POSITIVE EBITDAR


Etihad Airways today reported its most successful first half year, with revenues up 28 per cent to US$ 1,720 million (H1 2010: US$ 1,342 million), driven by solid performances in both passenger and cargo activities.

A 2 per cent reduction in costs per available seat kilometre, despite large increases in oil prices, also helped deliver a positive EBITDAR (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and rentals) in the six months from January 1 for the first time.

The results mark continued progress towards the airline’s goal of breaking even this year and moving into sustainable profitability in 2012.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer, said the results were achieved despite a still fragile economy and, at times, difficult operating conditions.

They were released as Etihad, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, prepares to significantly expand its global network.

Last week flights to two new Chinese cities, Chengdu and Shanghai were announced and services to Male and the Seychelles start on November 1.

“These are exciting new destinations for us. China is a huge market and Chengdu is the economic centre and transportation and communications hub of the country’s booming southwest region.

“Shanghai is the most populous city in mainland China (23 million) and when combined with our daily flights to the capital Beijing enables us to offer local passengers convenient flight options to the UAE, Middle East, Europe and North America.

“We are determined to build a schedule which increases customer choice and attracts local point-to-point traffic in line with the Abu Dhabi 2030 plan,” Mr Hogan said.

“Also, we will continue to connect our high growth and emerging markets to Abu Dhabi and the world by linking them through the UAE capital while at the same time expanding our high value premium markets and traffic flows.”

The delivery of five new wide-body passenger aircraft – three A330-300s and two B777-300ERs during the 2011 Summer allowed frequencies to be increased to several major markets.

Manchester becomes a double -daily destination from August 1. Daily services were also introduced to Geneva, Milan and Beijing, while two extra flights to Brussels enabled the Belgian capital to be serviced eight times a week.

Mr Hogan said passenger revenues rose 21 per cent on the back of a 14 per cent growth in passenger numbers to 3.8 million and 5 per cent growth in passenger yield.

Despite political unrest in the Middle East and the Japanese earthquake, seat factor increased to 72.9 per cent (H1 2010: 72.5 per cent).

Etihad’s cargo operations enjoyed strong growth with revenues up by 32 per cent in the first half of the year, bolstered by improvement in tonnage and yields.

“This is a wonderful achievement and Etihad Crystal Cargo plays a hugely important part in the on-going success of the airline as it now contributes 20 per cent of our direct operating revenue,” Mr Hogan said.

These results reflect higher utilisation of the freighter fleet, increased business segmentation and an expansion of trucking operations in the GCC.

They were driven by a strong commercial awareness and a focus on optimising network cargo flows.

Cargo revenue surged out of the United Kingdom, the UAE, Germany, China and India,

Just last week Etihad took delivery of its first Boeing 777 Freighter, joining its cargo fleet of two Airbus A330-200F, two Airbus A300-600F aircraft and two McDonnell Douglas MD11s.

Etihad Crystal Cargo now operates to 26 cargo freighter destinations internationally and to 83 destinations across the globe.

So far this year new freighter services have also been launched to Johannesburg, Amsterdam and Kabul while the frequency of cargo services to Milan, Frankfurt-Hahn, Shanghai, Nairobi and Erbil has also been expanded because of growing demand..

. Other highlights for the first half of the year included

  • Being named the airline with the Best First Class in the world for the second year running in Skytrax’s annual World Airline Awards.
  • Acknowledged as the Middle East’s Leading Airline in the World Travel Awards, as voted by 213,000 travel industry professionals.
The introduction of 100 qualified international chefs dedicated to food service excellence in Diamond First class cabins. This five-star restaurant style of service in the sky will begin on selected routes from October and be fully available on all flights offering First class by the end of the year.

  • Agreements signed with three new code-share partners; Air Astana, Air New Zealand and Czech Airlines, which became Etihad’s 31st airline partner.
  • The success of Etihad’s comprehensive partnership with Virgin Blue. The launch of V Australia’s Sydney-Abu Dhabi services in February enabled the airlines to offer a total of 24 weekly services between Abu Dhabi and Australia
  • The graduation of Etihad’s first female Emirati co-pilot Salma Al Baloushi from the airline’s cadet program
The dramatic expansion of Etihad’s Emiratisation scheme which will see 864 UAE nationals employed by the end of the year, representing 18 per cent of Etihad’s total workforce (up from 13 per cent in 2010.)

Etihad Airways punta al break-even nel 2011
Il vettore ha chiuso il miglior trimestre della sua storia
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]Messaggio promozionale[/FONT]
Etihad Airways ha riportato ad oggi, nel suo miglior trimestre in assoluto, una crescita dei ricavi del 39% pari a 1,1 miliardi di dollari (contro i 785 milioni del terzo trimestre 2010) e una crescita del numero di passeggeri del 18% pari a 2,25 milioni (a fronte del 1.9 milioni del 2010). Il seat factor è salito dal 3,8% all’80,7%, la percentuale più alta di tutti I trimestri della storia di Etihad.
I costi operativi sono saliti del 12% come pure la capacità mentre i costi non riguardanti il carburante hanno avuto un aumento del solo 7%.
James Hogan, ceo di Etihad, ha affermato che questi numeri hanno contribuito a una forte redditività dell’Ebitdar e la compagnia aerea ha spostato la sua redditività su base operativa mensile.
“Il nostro chiaro obiettivo è quello di raggiungere il break-even nel 2011 - ha detto Hogan - e questo è per noi un altro grande passo nella giusta direzione. Siamo sulla buona strada per fornire un ritorno finanziario continuativo per i nostri azionisti".
