Turkish confirms Croatia Airlines interest


Turkish Airlines has confirmed interest in its Croatian counterpart following several weeks of speculation. The airline’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Abuldkerim Cay, says his company sees an equity investment in Croatia Airlines as a good business opportunity, adding that a potential deal would benefit both sides. It comes just days after the government removed Croatia Airlines from a list of companies of strategic importance, with the aim of making it eligible for a possible sale. Turkey’s Ambassador to Croatia, Ahmet Tuta, echoed Mr Cay’s words over the weekend. “Both companies cooperate as Star Alliance members. There is interest and the Croatian government has just announced a number of companies which are to be listed for sale. However, it is important to know all the conditions”, Mr Tuta said. Since Turkey is not a member of the European Union, it could potentially acquire up to 49% in its Croatian counterpart.

Several weeks ago Croatia Airlines’ CEO, Krešimir Kučko, rebuffed claims that Turkey’s national carrier was eying a stake in the company, adding that a strategic partner through recapitalisation would accelerate the carrier's development and fleet expansion. “Our good business results make us more appealing now then we were before, so I hope we will have more success in finding a strategic partner", Mr Kučko said. Tonči Peović, who has managed both Zagreb and Dubrovnik airports and is seen as a possible replacement for Mr Kučko notes, “If the government sells Croatia Airlines without recapitalisation requirements, then the most likely buyer would be Alitalia, owned by Etihad. This would give Air Serbia, through its part-owner, access to Croatia Airlines’ valuable airport slots and a leading position in the Balkans”. Mr Peović, who is currently the General Manager of Brač Airport, adds, "The only guarantee for survival is a strategic recapitalisation through a process of programmed bankruptcy, by a non-European company, which competes against both Etihad and Lufthansa and has a strategy to develop the EU market through a hub-and-spoke network. Otherwise, the takeover will be hostile, which has been the case with a number of companies in Croatia".

Turkish Airlines has been linked to a possible equity investment in Croatia Airlines on several occasions, most recently last year. The carrier's CEO, Temel Kotil, previously noted that the company is looking at acquiring other airlines in either 2016 or 2017. Earlier this month, Turkish launched flights from Istanbul to Dubrovnik and expanded its codeshare partnership with Croatia Airlines. The carrier has also expressed interest in seeking out models with the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina over the establishment of a new national carrier in the country. Croatia Airlines' privatisation process has been ongoing for almost three years.

    Any airline eastwards of Croatia would be a good option so it doesn't become a feeder on flights to western Europe.

      Airline isn't for sale guys, what Turkish wants are totally irrelevant. Airline is looking for a strategic partner, and there's no rush, As I've said airline won't be sold before late 2017 and even than it'll be 45% steak for at least $150 million or more, this includes re-capitalization and commitment to expand the airline.

      Right now only few airlines in Europe can do that, Alitalia isn't one of them. Air France/KLM Group, Lufthansa Group, Korean Air might be a safe bet, one of the major Japanese Airlines, or Chinese one, perhaps even Singapore Airlines.

      We'll see how things develop, however it won't be the Turkish.

    12. Purger13:58

      You are talking total non-sens:

      1. Wizza does not have more passengers in exYu then Croatia Airlines (Wizz with some 1,4 million compare to Croatia with 1,9 million)

      2. Wizz has more destinations from SKP than OU from ZAG. Not true. Wizz has 22 destinations from SKP, Croatia 31 from ZAG.

      3. But one should compare number of flights not routes, as LCC business model is to open routes with just few weekly frequencies. Legacy carriers opens less routes but with several daily frequencies, and because of that OU has in code-share
      - with LH: 5 daily to FRA
      - wirh LH: 4 daily to MUC
      - with OS: 5 daily to VIE
      - with LX: 3 daily to ZRH
      - with SN: 3 daily to BRU
      - with AF: 2 daily to CDG
      - with KL: 2 daily to AMS
      + number of destinations with daily or few times per day flights (CPH, LHR, FCO, SKP, SJJ, SPU, DBV, ZAD, PUY)
      + lot of daily flights from SPU, DBV, ZAD, PUY, RJK to airports from where OU flights several times per day from ZAG.

      So, one can not compare Croatia and Wizz, and for sure can not say that Wizz contribution to SKP is bigger or better than OU contribution to ZAG.

    13. Anonymous14:31

      Of course it's better, what are you going on about? W6 subsidies ended and the airline is still operating profitably in SKP and is actually growing. OU on the other hand no longer enjoys protection and subsidies and is falling apart.

      So I would rather have in Zagreb an airline that is financially stable than the joke called OU.
      With all these new flights and destinations, Wizz Air will carry more passengers than OU by the end of 2016!

      That is if OU is still around by then.

      Delete
    19. Purger15:40

      Well, as I said it is total different concept. In legacy carriers code-share is part of strategy especially with partners in alliance. Code-share in IST and WAW routes are like OU has their own metal as they put their passengers in, it is in their system, they make connections to those flights as their own. Code-share is one of last fields where they have advantage against LCC. Antalya is regular charter but for sure brings money and passengers to Zagreb.

      What is your point about subventions? And what does this argument about long-ago subventions has to do with present comparison of Wizz and Croatia? What is next? What argument would be if I put Macedonian subventions to Palair of Mat? Non, of course, doesn't meter that that opens some market for future Wizz passengers after bankrupt of MAT.

      P.S.
      As far as I know there was 3 big investments in Croatia Arlinse (one in 1991, 2nd in 1999 and 3rd in 2010). Was it more than last 5-6 years of Wizz subventions in SKP (especially by number of passengers in that time, so subvention per passenger) I can not tell, especially that investments means you have some property you can sell (on privatization or liquidation) unlike with subventions to Wizz (where you give money to company and you don't have any property from it), and of course one should split that money in Croatia to other airports as Croatia does not fly just from Zagreb if you want to compare "benefits" of SKP by Wizz and ZAG by Croatia. But as I said it is not to compare those two models and for sure you can not compare benefits of connectivity legacy carrier give to community unlike LCC with only P2P passengers and by that way modest connectivity.

      Purger, what are you talking about ? ofcourse they get subsidies. What do you call PSO routes ? They get state aid for these routes and then charge Croatian taxpayers an arm and a leg to travel on these domestic routes.

      Call it what you will, but this is a legitimate form of subsidy.

      if they were serious about not topping up OU's coffers, the govt would cap the fares that OU charge on these routes so that Croatian taxpayers don't pay any more than they subsidise OU for flying these routes. Only then would it be a genuine PSO route and subsidy.

      As it is, it is simply a way of pouring money into OU behind a legitimate mechanism. Remember, no other airline - other than a Croatian company - can apply for this.

      So much for "no subsidies since 2010". Stop with the B.S.

      They started with a clean slate; had 20 years of doing something with an airline in a country that has an amazing inbound tourist industry and in the end, did nothing with it and gambled it all away through mismanagement - especially in the past 2 years, when even broken JAT has now passed it by.

      They should have built a fortress and regional powerhouse, which could and should have swallowed up every ex-yu airline before it.

      Opportunity both missed and lost....

    21. Purger22:09

      So true that opportunity missed and lost. So true! Totally agree with you.

      PSO is not same think as subsidy. We discuss about that so many times

      1. PSO is defined in EU. It is the same think as ferry routes to islands or subventions for bus tickets for students.

      2. PSO is for just few inside Croatia routes.

      3. Every EU company can run for those PSO (some of those are not operated by OU)

      I do agree that some flights (DBV-ZAG all year, or even SPU-ZAG in top season should not be subsidized, but ZAD-ZAG, PUY-ZAG for sure should). In case of SKP that would be the same as Republic of Macedonia decide to subsidize OHD-SKP route.

    22. While PSO routes are legit,the amount of money involved oin OU case is not insegnificant. If I temember well it's $4-5 millìon annually. To me it always sounded like a really good deal for OU. If somebody has exact figures it would be interesting to see and compare with what Wizz gets in Skopje

      True.

      But as I said it is all about deal you make. For example in contract you can put that part of "TK investment" are new planes out of which 2 must be placed in BiH company, and 2 in Macedonian company, or that TK will pay 50 million EUR but 20 million must be invested in OU BiH company, and 20 million in OU Macedonian company. Of course it is not that simple but there is the way how big companies invest throw other companies in third companies to make "indirect" control, and in same time to protect their investment. Usually that is the reason why noneuropean companies invest in European companies.

      Something is messed up with IST and Air Serbia. I had a flight for June 11. Got an e-mail exactly a month in advance telling me that I was now on the June 12 flight because the June 11 was cancelled. I wanted to be in BEG on June 11, so I asked for my money back and bought a ticket on Turkish the same day, which was only $10 more.

      I suspect load factors are terrible, and they are cancelling flights because it's not worth operating them, so they give people their money back or move to another day. They would not reroute me via another carrier however so that I can arrive on the same day.

      For an airline that wants to be a transfer airline this is terrible. It's clear that Air Serbia's schedule is unreliable. If they can't sustain daily flights on a route, then shouldn't market that they have daily flights.

      I tried to be one of these O&D passengers but it just wouldn't work out. When I bought the ticket, it was the cheapest though.

      I told the call centre agent that I was very open to transferring somewhere just as long as I can get to BEG on the same day. She found a great connection: Istanbul-Athens-Belgrade, very quick connection total travel time around 4 hours. The Istanbul-Athens leg would have been on Turkish. I said I was more than happy to take that. She said she would have to "get permission" and get back to me. She e-mailed me the next day saying it was refused, and I would have to fly on another day or take my money back. So I took my money back and gave it to Turkish Airlines. It wasn't just me either, this was a booking for three people, so they lost three "guests".

      In my opinion, from a business perspective what they are doing is terrible. Instead of accommodating us, having us fly with them and experience their service, and being satisfied customers because they "went out of their way" to get us where we wanted to be, their agents don't have "permission" to do that. All the great inflight meals and service mean nothing if your clients can't rely on your schedule and you won't help them out when they are in a bind. Instead of us thinking "oh Air Serbia was great when we had a problem!", we are leaving this experience thinking "whatever, next time I'll just by the Turkish (or whatever other airline) ticket and won't even bother with this BS".

      That is not true from what I read on other sites. While there are noticeable decreases on many (not all as you say) carriers, the loads on plenty of flights are just fine.
      Of course TK is still killing with the transfer pax.

      etc.

      or cumulative of 2.968.000.000,00 (almost 3 billion EUR) in last 13 years
      + in that period they bought 234 planes (in 2003 they had 65, at end of 2015 they had 299 planes)
      + they increase number of passengers 6 times (from 10 to 61 million).

      Now, really you can say anything against TK results????? You can say anything exempt impressed and respect?

      As an insider I can tell you what's the problem with JU and IST- sales team.

      They don't care or they just don't know how to sell the product. Let's take the third most powerful person in the company (Mr Nikitovic). His way of dealing with reduced passenger numbers is to immediately reduce flights- just like Jat used to do.
      It never crosses his mind that once pax numbers lower that you need to become more aggressive and improve your sales, no.

      That's Air Serbia's main problem, that's why they are ignoring the proposal of night flights and the falling passenger numbers.

      Don't forget that even with the mess in Turkey, TK recorded over 8% more passengers in BEG.

      The real problem is, there is no one to correct and challenge their behavior.

    OT: Ryanair will start operating the SOF base 2 months in advance - just like INI, flights will begin on 6th September instead of 30th October! 20% off. Flights to BCN for example are so cheap!

    Ako dodje do kupovine najbolje bi bilo napraviti nesto slicno kao XQ sto bi donelo turizmu najvise.
    Ali to znaci isto da ce tesko doci i jedan wide-body avion u flotu sto je steta.

    Still not sure why TK would be interested in OU. They already have the most extensive network in Europe - they fly to almost every European capital. Maybe they are interested in Heathrow slots and Croatian domestic market or use ZAG in case they need extra slots.

  20. That's true. TK doesn't only fly to capitals, also to each european village. That's why OU wouldn't has the position as a feeder for TK
