Croatia Airlines posts improved quarterly results


Croatia Airlines has posted improved results for the first quarter after increasing its passenger numbers and reducing its losses. The carrier handled 315.566 travellers on board its aircraft during the first three months of the year, an increase of 4.5% compared to the same period in 2015. Of those, 86.813 passengers were carried on domestic flights, up 5.7%, while 225.521 travellers flew on international services, an improvement of 4.7%. The remaining 3.232 passengers were carried on charter flights, down 29.5% year-on-year. However, charters accounted for only 1% of overall traffic. The airline operated 5.083 flights during the quarter, which is almost unchanged compared to the same period last year. The average cabin load factor stood at 63.6%, up 2.5% on 2015. Loads improved on international flights by 2.5% for an average of 63.0%, while on domestic services they were up 1% to 65.4%.

Last week, the carrier said it anticipates handling some 1.97 million passengers by the end of the year and recording a 6% jump in figures. During the first quarter, it improved its ticket sales by 4%, with bookings up 5% outside of Croatia and up 7% in its home market. "A decline in demand for international air travel by Croatian citizens has been halted during the first two months and has risen by 49% compared last year", Croatia Airlines said in a report. The airline enjoyed a 56% market share in the country during the first three months. This will decrease considerably in the second and third quarters as airlines launch seasonal summer flights to the Croatian coast. Croatia Airlines operated with a fleet of twelve aircraft during the first quarter and has added a wet-leased Fokker 100 jet to its fleet.

On the financial front, the Croatian carrier’s consolidated net loss was reduced by 10.2% to 11.5 million euros, down on last year’s 12.8 million euros, but still above 2014s 10.8 million euro loss. Croatia Airlines' revenue grew 7% to 32.3 million euros, generated by greater income from passenger services. On the other hand, proceeds from cargo handling fell 18%. The airline maintained similar expenditure to that of last year. It spent most on flight operations, passenger services and promotions and sales. At the end of Q1, Croatia Airlines had 911 employees, which is up from 890 last year. The carrier took on more staff in its ground handling division as it begins preparing to shift its operations to Zagreb Airport's new passenger terminal. Furthermore, the airline says it hired additional cabin crew.

      Charter business is completely different than scheduled flights. You cannot run all business models at the same time, one have to choose which model to follow, Legacy carrier, LCC, charter, ACMI whatever. But these shouldn't be mixed, otherwise you'll end up like JAT, Adria, B&H etc.

      That's something which wasn't clearly understood among the whole ex-yu.

      Things are improving during the summer. They will operate charters from Split to Evenes, Lulea, Ornskoldsvik, Ostersund, Skelleftea and Sundsvall and Kristiansund. I agree that this is still a small number. The problem is also the fleet. There are barely enough planes during for regular flights during the summer, which is why they wetlease planes regularly.

      Most of companies have great profit in first quarter of this year due to low petrol cost. For example IAG made profit of 155 million EUR compare to 25 million in first 3 month of 2015.

      So, how can anyone even think that CEO will stay with such a disaster results. Croatia should be profitable in first three months and should have several dozens of profit in all year period concerning the fact how low price of gas is, and subventions they get from PSO. Instead they sell engines, planes, Pleso prijevoz, plan to sell LHR slots... to make imagine profitability.

      They have almost non competition from LCC in their base, huge PSO, tourism in Zagreb and Adriatic, huge Diaspora, migrants inside Croatia (Dalmatia to Zagreb)... Carriers that has nothing like that were profitable in 1st three months.

      This CEO is disaster. To have one of worst results in 1st 3 months in Europe with potentials like Croatia means that he does not have a clue how to run business.

      There are so many examples of companies with huge and record profit that one example means nothing. And even with this 8 million minus it is less than minus of Croatia. But Lufthansa business was more than well in Q1:

      "The leading financial performance indicator of the Group’s business success – its Adjusted EBIT – improved, however, by EUR 114 million to EUR -53 million.

      But first-quarter unit costs for 2016 also reflect the success of cost reduction actions taken throughout the Lufthansa Group, while the growth of Eurowings had a further beneficial impact on overall unit cost levels.

      The Group’s net income for the first quarter amounted to EUR -8 million (Q1 2015: EUR 425 million). This is a EUR 70 million improvement on the adjusted prior-year result, since the 2015 first-quarter result included a EUR 503 million financial profit from the early conversion of the JetBlue convertible bond.

      Lufthansa Passenger Airlines improves EBIT by EUR 244 million

      The earnings improvement of Lufthansa Group’s in the first quarter is driven by Lufthansa Passenger Airlines and Austrian Airlines. All other operating companies in the Group reported lower results. The Adjusted EBIT of Lufthansa Passenger Airlines increased by EUR 244 million, while Austrian Airlines posted a EUR 23 million improvement. The Adjusted EBIT at SWISS was down EUR 28 million, owing largely to a decline in demand in the face of the strong Swiss franc. Eurowings, the results of which are reported separately for the first time, achieved a first-quarter Adjusted EBIT that was EUR 33 million below its prior-year level. This reflects the start-up costs of the company’s long-haul operations and the costs for its structural setup."

      2. IAG 95 million passengers, 520 planes, 248 destinations
      3. Air France-KLM, 90 million passengers, 574 planes, 231 destinations
      4. Turkish, 61 million passengers, 309 planes, 285 destinations


      Very big companies:

      1. Aeroflot group 39 million passengers, 239 planes, 189 destinations
      2. SAS group 31 million passengers, 137 planes, 157 destinations
      3. Air Berlin group 30 million passenger, 153 planes, 145 destinations

      2. Meridiana, 3,7 million passengers, 18 planes, 40 destinations
      3. Icelandair Group, 3 million passengers, 27 planes, 36 destinations

      14. Adria, 1,1, million passengers, 14 planes, 23 destinations

      Tinny company is the one that has less than 1 million passengers per year (like Montenegro).

      In European level (including LCC):
      Air Serbia is in 37th position
      Croatia is in 41st position.

      Without LCC difference is just 3 places (Blue Air is 40th).

      So, Air Serbia and Croatia are in same league, and Air Serbia is slightly bigger.

      Purger, don't be so anal .... If you are any sort of aviation "expert", you will know that a purely short haul airline is a completely different animal to one which has widebodies and flies long haul. Therefore, they are in a different league to one another.

      When comparing airlines, you have to compare apples with apples - looking purely at passenger numbers is an apple and orange comparison.

      In this way, OU and JU will soon move into different business models and direct comparisons will no longer be relevant.

      This is not a question of who is bigger or better, rather, 2 completely different models.

      You should be wise and adult enough to understand that.

      Really, 5 flights per week makes JU different league?

      So, that makes Aegean and Croatia same league because not one of them has long-haul. But JU is in different (better) league than Aegean (who has 12 million passengers, 58 planes, 134 destinations, 3 hubs, 983 million EUR revenue, 100,3 million EUR profit) just because 5 weekly flights to JFK?

      Congratulation for the logic.

      Could you, please, define in which league, by your logic, you would put Air Serbia (with Lufthansa, Turkish, Brussels, Virgin Atlantic, LOT...)? And is there any other criteria when you put someone in same "league" exempt long-haul? Revenue, profitability, number of planes, destinations, passengers... Or those are totally unimportant but one long-haul plane with 5 flights per week is?

      P.S.
      Trust me I don't have any anal desire, at all! Don't put me in that "league". And I never call or present myself "air expert".

      JU is not in different league just as they have long-haul, especially as it is just 5 flights per week. TAROM has long-haul planes and they are not in different league, CSA has one long-haul plane and is not in same league even with Travel Service.

      Today you have huge companies that are leaders in air traffic (LH, BA, AF), middle companies and small ones. Than you have legacy carriers (hub system), P2P airlines and combined airlines (flyBe which combines hub and P2P; SunExpress which combine charter and P2P routes, Travel Service which combine it all). Totally different category are LCC.

      Those are different categories or business model, but league is always about how big and successful one is. You are in someone league if you can compare by profitability, number of passengers, planes, routes etc.

      Purger, there you go again - still being your anal self. It is not about "leagues'. What's wrong with you ?

      Why do you feel the need to have to define an airline in a specific category ?

      For the record, both are rather insignificant in global terms and simply don't rate.

      However, an airline with widebody operations IS different to one that doesn't. Speak to any airline which has expanded into widebody long operations from pure narrow body short haul operations and they will tell you of the incredible complexities that it adds to the business. It changes your business forever.

      And for this reason - whether it is 5 pw or 5 a day - your business suddenly becomes something that it previously wasn't. That's why a comparison of these 2 airlines becomes irrelevant.

      You can ofcourse, still continue to compare passenger numbers, profitability and any other airline metric you choose to, but as business models, they are no longer the same.

      Forget about leagues, that's for another forum. Try ESPN instead

      One, two, three long-haul planes does not make anybody in different league. If you want to tall that it is much more complex in relation of operations when you have wide-body of course it is. But for sure it is not even near to complexity of having 30 more A320 like Aegean has comparing to Air Serbia. By your statement Air Serbia is in different league than Aegean just because of that one A330.

      The only true here is that Croatia, Air Serbia and Adria are very small companies in European relations. Small and insignificant. No one even care about them. They are not important and are not in any league at all! They are in category "the rest". And if you think that any of those 3 companies are better, bigger or more important you are living in dream world, in clouds. That was a point of my post.

      I agree that Air Serbia will have much bigger job and much more complex operations and because if is not in that league (not having enough passengers and routes to feed those flights to USA) I had doubts about that route from very first second and said it can destroy very good Air Serbia project in no-time. Really hope it will not happened and Government will not allow that. Future will show if I was right.

The days of comparing the 2 airlines will shortly be over, because they will move into completely different models. And to think, this could have been OU, with all the "potential" that you speak about. But potential is nothing if you don't take advantage of it.

      And, should Turkish invest in OU, that will set them back even further, to a role of a small feeder airline.

      So true, so true!!!!

      I just wrote one analises where I point that at end of 1990's Croatia Airlines had huge potentials as:
      - Austrian, Malev, Swissiair and Lufthansa presence in exYu was not big
      - there were no alliances
      - Adria was going down and Jat was not flying because of sanctions
      - there was not LCC (Ryanar and eaysJet were tiny companies, Wizz did not exist)
      - there were just few companies to fly to Adriatic cost

      On that time they should:
      - open routes to exYu diaspora routes (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Scandinavia, UK, USA)
      - open routes to all Croatia, BiH, Macedonian, Montenegrian and Albanian airports to feed Zagreb, especially diaspora routes and to make Zagreb as diaspora-flying center
      - open routes to other biggest hubs and tourist destinations
      - open charter and seasonal routes form Adriatic + connections to ZAG (for combinations of routes with bigger number of frequencies)
      - in time expand to Kosovo, Bulgaria and Romania and later to Serbia (few years after finishing of sanctions)

      But they did not use those potentials. In time first Austrian, Malev and Lufthansa occupate market, than comes Wizzair, easyJet, Germanwings, Ryanair, flyDubai, Pegasus and Vueling, than Air Serbia starts huge expansion.

      Last chance was 2012 (still not huge number of LCC here, Malev bankrupt, Adria in big troubles, Jat in disaster shape). That is why I present plane in 2010. Of course they could not make same thing as 1997-98 (Diaspora center) but could easily put Adria and Jat out of business. And they did not do so!

      Today Croatia has no chance at all exempt if some huge and rich company out of Europe would invest in it (and that for sure is not Turkish and Lufthansa). As there is almost no chance to do that (especially not with our ministers, experts and CEO), basically Croatia is as good as dead or will become small feeder for some European huge company.

They will use F100 for new route where A319 is too big to start with (LIS), on some routes where Q400 was not good equipment (CPH, BRU) so there would be more satisfied costumers what makes better LF, on some routes where A319 did not have big LF so F100 will make it better (BCN, DBV-ZAG and DBV-SPU).

      Purger je u pravu za LF, ali sama cinjenica da je izabran wet lease fokera Trade Air-a , pored nekoliko vrlo obecavajucih najava, jasno pokazuje realno (ocajno) stanje u kojem se OU nalazi. Ponovicu - ovo je poslednja sezona za OU ( plus YM ) u ovom obliku. Buducnost OU nije nimalo sjajna i svakako nije vezana za Turkish, a to i Purger svakako zna, ali iz obzira prema kolegama ne istice u prvi plan.

      Ma nije istina da to ne istićem u prvi plan. Ja sam još 2010. rekao da Croatia ostankom na Mišetićevom putu potpisuje svoju smrt. Čak sam i avar na CAF-u stavio "the end" zbog neiskorištene zadnje šanse Croatie i koncesije na Zračnu luku Zagreb.

      No, ne mislim da se radi o godini dana. Croatia još ima imovine za 200 milijuna EUR (avione, maintenance, nekretnine, slotove...) koju može prodavati kako bi namirila gubitke. Uz današnje poslovanje i troškove (jeftino gorivo, novac od PSO, privilegije...) to bi moglo potrajati nekih 8-10 godina. U slučaju poskupljenja goriva i povečanja drugih troškova 5-6 godina. Neminovan i uskori dolazak LCC u Zagreb svakako će umiranje ubrzati. I dugoročno, CTN nema budućnosti uz zadržavanje ovog modeal i bez privatizacije.

      Ti podaci o popunjenosti letova iz Dubrovnika se redovno objavljuju na hrvatskom forumu i daaaajte više za vijeke vjekova shvatite(kad već autor postova ne kaže)da je to let Zagreb-Dubrovnik-Atena I DA SE U DUBROVNIKU UKRCALO DODATNIH 12 PUTNIKA!! Znači iz Zagreba je već stigao određen broj putnika s tim avionom samo što autor nema te podatke pa ih ne objavljuje.

    Ako dodje do preuzimanja od strane TK sto je malo verovatno najbolje bi bilo da se napravi Hr XQ sto bi ubedljivo najvise donelo drzavi.

    OT. it may have been covered in the past here. I found it interesting as many of exyu routes were operated by these planes.
    Austrian sold entire Fokker fleet 15 F100s and 6 F70s, for $15 million, only $9.5 in cash, likely all financed by bank loan. Someone could have started an airline with 21 planes for start-up cost of $1-2 million. New owner will continue operating them for 8-10 years. Hedge oil now, if there is cash to spare, and you could have a decent airline.

    when I think of it, one could have bought Maribor airport for EUR 1 million and have a hub and an airline for 'couple of bucks' out-of-pocket.

    I am a Star Alliance and oneworld fan - OU belongs to Star Alliance airlines - most of which truly professional. Etihad Group is just not performing well, at least in Europe. I am glad that OU just managed to "make it by themselves" and have a natural development vs. JU for example.

    Flew one of the two TradeAir F100s last June as a replacement A/C for JP PRG-LJU. The cabin equipment looked a bit dated, any ideas if it was updated? Though I might add TradeAir had a couple of hot young FAs on the flight. Not a given these days (esp. on JP).
