So the Central Govt. now extended the flight ban to the whole country. Waiting for you to call out the Central Govt. useless now

me as well, although credit where credit is due, RG (Rahul Gandhi) had shared on twitter a month back that the govt. is not taking coronavirus seriously enough. Turns out he was right. Call him whatever names, he has been right on lot of occassions.

They are useless. Because they shutdown whole of Indian aviation okay.

But then I realised, it isn't practical for employees to continue working with literally everything (all other modes of transport ) shut. Also read a case (unverified) of a BOM airport security staff tested positive for the virus. So then yeah, this had to be done then.
Hope airlines are given some serious relief from the central govt. and waive off all those insanely hight taxes, surcharges imposed on the aviation sector.

Good thing: 6E and SG stocks will bottom out now.

IndiGo stock has been fairly resilient in this market carnage. Today it was flat despite Nifty going down by upto 13%.

I got the reason why: only 2% 6E stocks are held by individuals. Rest it's all funds and promoters only.

I seriously don't understand why stock trading hasn't halted yet when literally now everything has come to a halt. Are they wanting all stocks to hit the ground (?).

Merely stopping trading doesn't change the underlying value of stocks. For instance, there is a futures market where stock prices will fall. Delaying trading just means the cumulative impact of the decline in stock prices will show up on the day the stock market officially opens. Bottom line: Closing a stock market does nothing, in reality.

+1 it's really a pity that people don't really familiarize themselves with futures and options.

Somehow today I found myself at this pretty old video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-kJ9p21kT4

I was just thinking how Sucheta Dalal must be feeling today. All the things that she was against are now 'normal operations' and lawful. Especially the high-speed algo trading which actually benefits only the big boys and the deck is always set against the small investor. This was just after this govt. came into power. Who profits from it, only the big guys .

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading

At the end, any stock will find its value based on multiple factors, so what is being proposed will just delay the inevitable and it will be much worse as much more uncertainity will be built in.

That is wishful thinking but don't think they will do. They already are stretched financially and fiscally. They don't have any room to manoveur. Why it came to so is all of their doing. The easiest question would be to ask is why give 1.44 lakh crore to big corporates which they did last year and this taking from RBI. When other governments are doing all sorts of quantitative easing and even giving checks to $1000 dollars to each and every citizen our govt. can't do nothing. Even if they take down the interest rates, don't see people taking up loans, the only thing which will happen is ever-greening of the loans again in the corporate sector. The 'BIG GREAT Financial Clean-up' is still years away. And don't think this govt. has any motivation to change things, it will rather destroy indian businesses rather than clean them up.

The usual suspects, the Ambanis, Adanis for sure. Although it's all corporates. The problem is this Govt. didn't even share the names of the 50 top wilful defaulters who defrauded the banks and fled India. So asking about borrowers whose loans have been written off and ever-greened is gonna be a big task.

See the 1.44 lakh crore thing.

https://indianexpress.com/article/busin ... s-5218043/

Overall, about 5 lakh crore has been given to PSB and this is besides the ever-greening of the loans. Mind you this is all for corporates. Agricultural loans write-offs are strictly no-no.

Or they should provide stop-gap funding. Something on the lines of Udaan although in affect they never gave much though.

But as I shared before, all the largesse has been either given to corporates or social welfare schemes which leaks to god knows where, the end though nothing makes sense. According to Dr. Dr Ramanan Laxminarayan we could be in pretty bad shape, something close to 60% of our population could be affected . See -

s.

Here are my thoughts of bringing relief to the airline sector:

1. Get rid of RGD or whatever it is called. Why should airlines subsidize government policy? Its not like airlines are floating in money. They never were. Use UDAAN as a full substitute for RGD. This way, an as an analogy only, instead of having 5 flights a day between Aurangabad and Agra maybe we can have just 1, thereby matching capacity to demand.

2. Allow airlines to borrow from abroad. They mustn't be forced to borrow from Indian banks at a ridiculous rate of interest. Besides, let the foreign lenders take the risk!

3. Buy OIL now while it is $25 a barrel and load up on it. Heck, even Trump has asked his government to fill up the strategic reserves when prices have never been this low in a long time. Let airlines access fuel prices tied to this $25 price for a whole year. No one can claim this is a gift if the Government also bought it at $25 and sold it to the airlines at the same price + taxes.

4. Use coronovirus as an excuse to bring ATF under GST. This may be hard to pull off which is why it is lower on my list).

5. Have the lowest rate of GST for maintenance of aircraft. Use the excuse that one cannot compromise on security, and given the precarious finances of airlines, you don't want airlines to skimp on maintenance.

6. Shut down Air India domestic except for flights originating or ending at slot constricted airports. This will also somewhat strengthen the private airlines while avoiding Air India from operating on routes which not only have competition from the private airlines but which are also probably making losses for AI.

16.8-17.2 inch width with 28-32 inch pitch, no masks for anyone is not the way to avoid communicable diseases. Airlines had a good run, and this has to end.

Unlike private carriers around the world, Indian private carriers charge below cost. So for a change, they can do the math with empty middle seat and charge appropriate fare.

I will sell below cost until weak competitors or me go out of business is not viable forever.

the point is, will they do it and will passengers rationalize it the way you did it. I personally don't intend to fly at least for another 3 -6 months till things don't stabilize a bit. Let the pandemic get over . Flying under such conditions is akin to playing the Russian Roulette. And anyways, this is all idle talk as till 31st March no planes flying anywhere. and I suspect the lockdown to go into a more serious mode before it gets better.

Not everyone 'sells below cost'. Some genuinely have lower costs than others. It gives them an advantage. They are completely within their right to leverage that advantage to push weak competitors over the cliff. It's business at the end of the day!

In fact, IMHO, they are perfecting the fine art of extracting money from a cost-conscious domestic market (of fliers) as large as ours, whilst still staying afloat.

I'm afraid, the airline business is not as simple, two-dimensional and 'black-and-white' as our MantriJi would want to portray it to be. He was the one who claimed earlier this year that airlines are 'selling below cost'. Because, of course, the costs of an Indian FSC twenty years ago are the same as those of an LCC today, right??!

"The interesting thing that we have observed is that on Delhi-Mumbai route 20 years ago the average fare was of Rs 5,100. Today, the average fare is Rs 4,600. Some predatory pricing is taking place. It means people are selling tickets below their cost," Puri told reporters.

There are already many non-metro routes in India where IndiGo has a monopoly and has no reason to price below cost. On some other sectors, they have the most convenient timings while the competition doesn't - giving them more opportunities to avoid selling "below cost". Additionally because of their size, they are able offer many more, convenient one-stop itineraries via domestic hubs like BLR and HYD.
At lower prices.
Which is all that the 'customer' cares about.

Out of all the carriers in India still flying today, which ones, if any, do you think are most likely to go bust?

Go Air and Spice Jet.

Vistara has Tata behind them so they could escape perhaps.. AirAsia India is somewhat a mystery, it is a foreign owned airline masquerading as an Indian carrier, due to the connections to its parent, it will remain (unless its parent goes bust). TruJet relies on UDAN routes, so may be it will be viable. Indigo is the strongest, but it is ordering aircraft at a rapid pace, don't know if the Indian market can absorb so many new planes.

What specifically about G8 and SG place them at the highest risk? And yes, it is quite possible that 6E could defer many of the planes it has to offer. It will give them time to let demand rebound and fix the issues with the PW engines.

acavpics wrote:

Spicejet is worst placed for dealing with this. Then I think GoAir and AirAsia. Not sure how much money TATA and SQ are willing to pump into Vistara. IndiGo is best placed to handle this. However, no one really can withstand extended periods of a shutdown and the aviation industry is going to be reeling under this catastrophe for quite some time after this is done.

There is no doubt SG is the financially weakest, but that never stopped Indian government from tweaking the rules to help only SG. It would no different from the past.

Vistara along with non-performing TATA Group establishments depend on TCS revenue. With India in lock down and most of the oversees client sites closed, TCS is either under severe stress, or work-from-home for everyone might have created windfall of new projects.

That was what was said of Jet Airways also. It really depends on -

a. How GOI feels about SG today ?
b. How good is GOI with it's cash-flow. With so many demands for its resources (money) and so few resources, it can only do so much. As it is, just today was hearing on CNBC how commodity prices (read veggies) have risen at least 20% across the board. This means food inflation which was already high, would be that much more out of sync than what the Govt. said it was doing, targeting inflation.

not necessarily on the new projects. Because of the unprecedented times, most clients would prefer to conserve their cash as the situation is still evolving. It could be a month, it could be 6 months, we don't know. And what people forget is cash-flows are nowadays nearly global. So it will move where it well get the most benefit (return) while at the same time it will be safest. On both those accounts, India ranks much lower to its immediate neighbors, forget the rest of the world.

You are parroting the fallacy promoted by Subramanium Swamy.

What's required each day of parked planes:

"The parked planes need to be serviced daily by a team of 10 people. Every day, each plane needs to have its engine run, has to taxi far enough for the tires to rotate fully, and has to have its hydraulics, avionics and electronics checked."

A strategic move to find favor for the airlines in a potential government bailout package to the corporate sector. Each sector will have to angle for their share of the pie and what better way than showing your tangible support for governmental policy. Having said that, hats off to the Government for taking a bold approach on coronovirus. It's very unpopular implementing a nationwide quarantine but very good for teh elderly and for the good of public health.

Even though Metallic birds are put to rest for sometime in India its great to hear the real birds chirping and flying freely...The sounds of Nature are just beautiful !

Im sure during these 21 days of lockdown in India and lockdown at other major cities Mother Earth will have a great rest !!

Stay Safe fellaz and Stay at home !!

SpiceJet has returned 5 wet leased 737 to Turkish Corendon airline

Has the DGCA “permanently” allotted Jet’s slots to other carriers or is it still continuing the charade that it is a “temporary” allotment pending the final sale/ bankruptcy of Jet that has just got a fresh 90 day extension?

Personally, I disagree with the rapid conclusions of the link I found. Any wise airline would be cutting expenses right now.

Lightsaber

India’s airlines have grounded over 650 planes. Where are they parked? - MoneyControl.com
A NetworkThoughts analysis aided by FlightRadar24 shows that Delhi has one-third of India’s commercial fleet parked after the grounding. A staggering 205 aircraft across airlines are parked at the New Delhi airport. IndiGo – India’s largest carrier by domestic market share and fleet — has over 60 aircraft parked at Delhi. That is one-fourth of its fleet. National carrier Air India, which has its hub at Delhi, has nearly 50 percent of its fleet parked there.

Mumbai is seeing nearly 100 aircraft across airlines being parked, followed by Bengaluru, which has 71 aircraft, and Hyderabad with 61. The Airports Authority of India controlled Kolkata and Chennai airports come in next with 54 and 53 aircraft, respectively.

My first instinct was that if not TRV, it probably was a combination for cuts from AMD and HYD - I wasn't sure and could not confirm if HYD was 4xDaily or saw some days with 4 services.

I think it's very likely that its been an error from the website. I don't see EK increasing freq to BLR, also I don't see any change in freq to any other Indian city.

^^ Might also have to see if Flydubai made any changes to transfer seats to EK.
