Founder of Air Vanuatu attempts to set up new airline to compete with Air Tahiti

Four months ago, Bill Ravel, a New Caledonia-based businessman lodged an application to set up a new airline, called Islands, to compete against Air Tahiti. The new company has told Tahiti-infos that it has received no official reply and now wants the court to formalise the apparent rejection. It also said that there was no legal obstacle to be issued a license. Mr Ravel, who founded Air Calin and Air Vanuatu, wants to use Embraer aircraft to fly to the territory's five archipelagos, undercutting Air Tahiti's fares by 15 to 20 percent. He also said the plan was also to fly to the Cook Islands twice a week and to Samoa three times a week. Last year, transport minister Luc Faatau said he feared the new airline would only fly to the most lucrative destinations, such as Bora Bora. He said additional taxes may then have to be levied to sustain unprofitable flights operated by Air Tahiti to many of the 40 smaller islands.

 

 

Air Tahiti will blow its 20 candles, receiving a very nice birthday present: its very first Dreamliner Boeing 787-9, which must be delivered a little before celebrations in October. This first aircraft marks the company's transition to a fleet of fourkerosene-saving Dreamliner aircraft to replace its current five Airbuses.. This new fleet should help it manage the renewed competition on its lines towards the United States and the metropolis. ATN will also unveil a new cabin and a new livery for its aircraft during this anniversary year. Finally, ATN unveils a special logo for all its birthday celebrations. It is described as "repeating the unique patterns of the tattoos of our islands, and representing the Polynesian anchorage of To Tatou Manureva, serving the economic development of the country." 

 

 

The net return for French Polynesia's international carrier was less than half of what it was in 2015 but the carrier remained profitable for a fifth consecutive year. The airline had a slight drop in revenue to just under $US350 million despite a 1.4 percent increase in passenger numbers. It said it carried 480,000 passengers who accounted for 71 percent of the territory's market. The airline's load factor was over 76 percent.

 

 

 

 

Toulouse-based manufacturer ATR booked two additional orders for its ATR 72-600 turboprop at the Paris Air Show June 22, one each for Swedish regional carrier BRA and French Polynesian carrier Air Tahiti. Total value for the additional orders is $53.6 million at list prices.

Additionally, ATR announced it is set to launch a new version of its 46-50 seat 42-600 turboprop with improved short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities, the ATR 42-600S.
