Air Transat

I think all they operate now is the following:

A310-300
A330-200
A330-300

So no I don’t really think they’ve renewed.

That’s right. Three A330-200, one A330-300 and nine A310-300’s. Most were purchased from other airlines.

I think all they operate now is the following:

A310-300
A330-200
A330-300

So no I don’t really think they’ve renewed.

Sorry guys, but I would like to carry on this thread a bit.

What ever happened to the Air Transat fleet, did they ever have any fleet renewal as as far as I know the fleet as it stands now is the A310 and A330, plus a few short haul A320s (i think), but that wouldn’t count as fleet renewal because they never had anything there. Did they downscale capacity with the retirement of the L1011 and B757s?

Talk about a thread resurrection! Great that a newbie uses the search option first. Now where’s my french dictionary? 😀

Sorry yea! – i’m surprised no1 spotted it earler – i was thinking that the L1011 was build at Long Beach – home of the DC-10 which now build the C-17 and B717 – Dohh!

Transat posts flat quarter

Transat AT Inc. — which operates charter carrier Air Transat — reported flat second-quarter profit Wednesday and said it continues to expect “a very challenging year” as the impact of the SARS outbreak cuts into third-quarter bookings.

For the quarter, Montreal-based Transat posted net income of $15.4-million or 39 cents a share diluted, compared with $15.5-million or 41 cents in the same period a year earlier.

The results included a $2.6-million after-tax restructuring charge related to previously announced job cuts at its Canadian tour operator Americanada as well as its French subsidiary, Look Voyages.

Excluding one-time charges, profit in the latest quarter was $18-million.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call had been expecting second-quarter earnings of 38 cents a share.

The solid earnings, which come at a time of turmoil for the sector, pushed Transat’s stock up more than 10 per cent by the midday. At 12:15 p.m. EDT, the shares were trading at $4.59, up 44 cents in Toronto.

Quarterly revenue rose about 15.5 per cent to $718.8-million, from last year’s $623.3-million.

“”The results of the quarter were better than our 2002 second quarter results despite the war in Iraq and the economic situation in Europe,” Jean-Marc Eustache, Transat’s president and chief executive officer, said.

Faced with continuing industry concerns — including the war in Iraq, the economic slowdown and SARS outbreak — Transat reorganized its operations to cut costs.

Mr. Eustache said the firm — which also announced another 500 layoffs after the end of the quarter — has “not finalized our reorganizations” and expects “significant” savings in the current fiscal year as a result of measures already taken.

“Despite our overall improvement, however, Transat remains cautious and continues to be committed to managing very conservatively and to actively pursuing organizational and operational initiatives that will have a positive impact on the bottom line,” Mr. Eustache said.

“However, we have not altered our prediction that 2003 would be a very challenging year.”

SARS, he said, is still at the forefront of travellers’ minds and has a negative impact at a crucial travel period.

“The Canada-Europe market is a critical part of our summer season and the bookings for our summer season have been negatively impacted for the third quarter,” he said.

“We do however see some improving trends for the fourth quarter but remain cautious.”

In France, he said, the economic situation has “not improved and we do not expect to see any improvements in that market for the remainder of the year.”

“We expect Look Voyages to experience a particularly difficult time,” he said.

Lockheed Martin was not taken over by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas was, back in 98. Lockheed Martin for some time now, has only concentrated on military aircraft, and will continue to do so.

would be nice, perhaps we may see MyTravel going for something drastic in a couple of years with hops across the pond!

I’ve seen teh BAL flights for mext year – almost identical to this years – only change is we have one sector replaced with a AEA B738 as they’re doing another “W”n to HUY.

Seriously though in a couple of years i could see AEA asing an a/c here. They could pick up a deal with PlanetAir to fly there runs, and fly the regular runs in here – we must have them approx 6x weekly this summer

Cheers for clearing that up Steve.
Id like to see Air Transat back With a Tristar Preferably 😉

EGNM,

Didn’t Air Transat used to Operate a fairly regular service from LBA or is that me imagining things? What happened to it if they did?

Yep they fly the B752 in through BHX to Toronto which was a Globespan flight, was previously operated by Wardair Canada B741/2s.

Air Transat got a better deal on bulk slots at MAN at the time and Globespan trasferred ops – keep been mentioned as a return!
