Asiana Airlines to fly to Venice, Rome nonstop, signs pact with Lufthansa Technik

Kim E-bae, executive vice president of corporate support at Asiana Airlines Inc., second from left, poses with Johannes Bussmann, chief executive of Lufthansa Technik AG, far right, after signing a total component maintenance agreement for Asiana’s B777 fleet in Hamburg, Germany, on Wednesday, local time.

Striving to stay competitive against the ascension of budget carriers, South Korea’s second-largest full-service carrier Asiana Airlines Inc. has reinforced its long-haul fleet and route and upgraded quality control through expanded partnership with Germany’s Lufthansa Technik AG, a leading provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for aircrafts and their engines and components. 

Under the agreement that was signed in Hamburg, Asiana Airlines will receive component maintenance and repair service from Lufthansa Technik for its B777 fleet for 10 years starting this year. The latest agreement is part of a long-term partnership Asiana Airlines has established with Lufthansa Technik over a span of more than two decades, starting with a repair contract signed in 1994 for CF6 engine of B747 and B767 aircrafts. It also forged agreements on component maintenance for A320 V2500 engine and A380 aircraft airframe as well as maintenance component supply for Asiana Airlines’ A320 and A350 fleet. 

Lufthansa Technik was founded in 1994 after it spun off from Deutsche Deutsche Lufthansa AG as an independent corporation providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for civil aircrafts as well as engines and components. The Hamburg-based company with 35 subsidiaries currently provides technical aircraft services to Lufthansa, British Airways, and Finnair. 

Asiana Airlines separately announced that it received its fifth high-technology A350 jet from Airbus and placed it on its long-haul route. The jet arrived at Incheon International Airport on Wednesday after departing from Toulouse, France, the home of Airbus headquarters. 

Asiana Airlines, which has been moving to expand its mid- to long-haul flights to remain competitive against emerging low-cost carriers, received four A350 jets last year and plans to add two more this year. The airline will add two new non-stop cities Venice and Barcelona each in May and August, the first expansion in its European route after flying directly to Rome from 2015.

Croatia Airlines, Asiana Airlines sign code share agreement

State-controlled flag carrier Croatia Airlines said it has signed a code share agreement with South Korea's Asiana Airlines, which paves the way for sharing Seoul-bound flights via Frankfurt, London and Paris.

Passengers flying Croatia Airlines from Zagreb, Dubrovnik and Split will now have access to Seoul from transit spots in London, Paris and Frankfurt, and vice versa, the Croatian company said in a statement.

"By concluding this agreement and by building a joint product, both companies expect even better positioning in a highly competitive passenger transport market between Croatia and South Korea," Croatia Airlines noted.

Asiana Airlines is an airline based in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

From Seoul, it flies to 63 destinations around the world, including cities in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Croatia Airlines already has code share agreements with United Airlines, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, Air India, and most of the European airlines in the Star Alliance network.

Asiana Airlines is set to fly non-stop European routes bringing both Venice and Barcelona into its network

Korean carrier Asiana Airlines is set to fly two new non-stop European routes next year, bringing both Venice and Barcelona into its network.

Both cities have previously been flown to as occasional charter services by Asiana since 2014 – this year it flew to Venice from June to October and to Barcelona in September and October – however these new services will soon operate as regular scheduled flights.

The Venice route is currently set to launch on May 1, 2018 as a three-times-weekly service flying on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday between Seoul’s Incheon International Airport and Venice Marco Polo International Airport. This will then be followed by Barcelona on August 30, which will be served four times per week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Both routes will see Asiana’s two-class Boeing 777-200s deployed on the route. Asiana has 11 B777s in its fleet and a number of slightly varying configurations. The good news for travellers on these routes is that both Venice and Barcelona will be getting the airline’s newer, fully flat Business Smartium seats as opposed to the regular business class offering.

Asiana Airlines’ Q2 OP up 48.7 percent to highest in 6 years

South Korea’s full-service carrier Asiana Airlines Inc. on Thursday reported a 48.7 percent on-year increase in operating income for the second quarter ended June sharp reduction in passengers from China amid ongoing diplomatic row between Seoul and Beijing over the deployment of United States’ Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system in Korea. 

According to the company’s regulatory filing on Thursday, the country’s second-largest carrier posted 42.8 billion won ($37.5 million) in operating profit on a consolidated basis in the April to June period, up 48.7 percent from the same period last year. Sales rose 8.5 percent to 1.49 trillion won over the same period, whereas net loss widened to 74.8 billion won from 26.7 billion won due to foreign currency loss. 

Both operating income and sales mark the highest for the second quarter since 2011, thanks to efforts made by the carrier to diversify destinations and introduce new equipment. 

Shares of Asiana closed Thursday at 5,250 won, up 1.94 percent or 100 won from the previous session. 

For the first half of 2017, operating profit jumped 7 percent to 69.1 billion won on sales of 2.9 trillion won, up 7.5 percent from the same period last year. Net income in the January to June period also increased 19.9 percent to 21.3 billion won. 

Asiana Airlines said it offset passenger losses from China through expansion of routes to other destinations. It increased flights to Southeast Asia and Japan to make up for the lower travel demand from China and enhanced marketing on destinations to and from the United States and Europe. 

The carrier raised 55 percent higher revenue from its Europe routes in the second quarter compared with a year-ago period. 

Asiana Airlines also saw 11 percent higher revenue from domestic flights during the cited period due to increased travel to Jeju Island. 

Cargo revenue jumped 23.8 percent on-year benefiting from the semiconductor boom.

Asiana Airlines announced it was offering business travellers on B747s the choice of flying in first-class seats for an additional fee

The airline does not offer first-class cabins on flights other than New York, Los Angeles and Frankfurt routes, which utilize the A380. However, the B747s are fitted with 10 first-class seats that can be used by business travelers who choose to upgrade to royal business. The upgrade costs 50,000 won (US$45) one-way for flights to Japan, China and Northeast Asia, and 100,000 won for flights to Southeast Asia. The service only offers first-class seats, with other services and mileage points following business class standards.

Further in June 2017, Asiana Airlines announced that it had selected Honeywell to supply the required power to start an aircraft's main engines and run air conditioning while the plane is on the ground for a more comfortable passenger onboarding experience. With Honeywell's auxiliary power units, Asiana Airlines can also improve operational performance and lower maintenance costs over the life cycle of its fleet to achieve significant fuel savings year over year.

7th July 2017

South Korea’s second largest full-service carrier Asiana Airlines Co. has decided to temporarily reduce the operation of six international routes with low traffic to offset losses caused by the sharp fall in the number of Chinese visitors to Korea amid the Beijing-Seoul diplomatic row over Korea’s deployment of the U.S.-supplied THAAD missile shield system. 

The brief suspension, typically imposed for less than a month during crisis situations such as terrorist attacks or epidemic outbreaks, comes after China’s prolonged travel ban on Korea. Asiana Airlines was hit harder than its peers by the ban as its Chinese services make up 19.5 percent of its total revenue, higher than the industry average of 11 percent.
