Maiden profit for Poly Blue
THE joint venture airline
between Samoa and Virgin Blue,
Polynesian Blue, has this morning
reported a NZ$1.2m pretax profit
for the period 30 Oct 05 to Jun 06.
It’s a remarkable result for the
carrier which was formed last year
as a replacement for the former
Polynesian Airlines.
Virgin Blue ceo Brett Godfrey has
hailed the success of the concept,
last month saying that modelling
showed that Samoa needed about
0.64 aircraft to service its needs.
The joint venture arrangement
allowed this to be put in practice,
and the profit compares to cash

statement saying it’s still in

The offer is conditional upon the

MFS said it wanted to make clear
that discussions on the matter are
ongoing, despite previous reports.
However pundits expect the deal
will be given the OK by the ACCC
given its formal approval of S8’s

figures indicating an 18% increase
in tourism earnings for the country.
Visitor arrivals increased 18.4%
over the period, compared to an
average annual growth rate over the
previous decade of just 3.9%.
Godfrey said it was a “tremendous
result” which “demonstrates the
economic, tourism and social
benefits that can be generated by
dynamic partnerships”.
He said the success of the venture
had led Virgin Blue to consider
other opportunities for joint ventures
in the South Pacific region.

with travel insurance provider

combined flight and travel
insurance option for passengers.

The basic insurance policy covers

protection and costs $9 pp for
domestic and international flights.
WINDOW SEAT
QANTAS ceo Geoff Dixon is
certainly sharing the pain of high
oil prices, with the carrier’s annual
report released yesterday showing
he received a 20% pay cut during
05/06, a drop of about $1.2m.
But we shouldn’t feel too sorry
for him, with his total package for
the year still worth $5.2m.
The accounts also reveal that
when his contract was renewed on
an ongoing basis earlier this year
he received a nice little $7.7m
extra superannuation payment.
Dixon’s certainly putting his
money where his mouth is,
though, having acquired about
500,000 QF shares during the year.
BUT it looks like it could be time
for a new Porsche for QF exec gm
John Borghetti, whose total
package soared about $1.4m to
total $3.2m for the year.
That compared with Jetstar ceo
Alan Joyce’s relatively measly
$1.4m total income for 05/06.
AND how about those directors?
Such as James Packer, who
received $129,000 for attending
eight board meetings.
Not that he needs the cash, having
inherited about $6b this year.
KEEP a sharp lookout on those
motorways...
A blind man in the UK has been
banned from driving for three
years after police stopped his car
when they noticed it swerving
across a Birmingham road.
The 31-year-old told officers
he’d had his eyes blown out in a
bomb blast in Iraq, but was used
to driving before the accident and
was “testing himself” by getting
behind the wheel.
Worryingly, although he’ll never
see again, he’s eligible to apply
for his licence after another two
years and in fact the magistrate
ordered him to take a driving test
after the ban expires.

Sabre outlines new business model
A SABRE executive has
described the emergence of a new
type of airline, developed as
carriers across the globe adapt the
best of each business model.
Nejib Ben-Kheder is president of
Sabre Airline Solutions’ consulting
business, and was speaking at the
GCC Low Cost Airlines conference
in Dubai last Sat.
He said the new model, which
sounds quite similar to Virgin Blue’s
‘New World Carrier’ approach, is
“set to gain a significant share of
the leisure and cost-conscious
business travel market”.
He described the model as that of
a ‘Value Focused Carrier’ (VFC)
and said these types of airlines are
identified by focused route
networks, simple fare structures,
relatively cheap distribution and
sales arrangements, limited array of
partnerships and streamlined
ground operations.
Ben-Kheder cited examples such
as JetBlue in the US, Flybe in the
UK and Indian carrier Kingfisher,
which could “never be described
)LZ[-HYLZ(]HPSHISL
^^^L_WYLZZMHYLZJVTH\
7HY[VM[OL6YPLU[,_WYLZZ;YH]LS.YV\W
True Bombay Sapphires...
accurately as ‘no-frills, but neither
would they fit the profile of your
typical traditional carrier.”
He predicted that VFCs would
continue to grow their market share,
estimating that this type of airline
now carries 12% of global ‘leisure
and cost-conscious business travel’
traffic, compared to 6% in 2001.
Sabre said the trend had led it to
develop new products to service the
emerging VFC sector.
Manila security move
THE Philippines govt has
increased security restrictions on
flights departing from Ninoy
Aquino Airport in Manila, with all
liquids now banned from being
carried through security screening.
Qantas has advised that carry-on
baggage at Manila must now not
contain any liquids, cosmetics or
toiletries, which must all be
checked in as hold baggage.
Where there’s an infant
travelling, milk and liquid baby
food are exempted, and prescription
medicines are also permitted.

of bringing the concept to reality
by 2008.
Features of the plane would

avoidance systems which would

enhancements would verify pilot

which identify passengers and their

between cockpit and control
towers.

LUFTHANSA has received
conditional immunity from the US

The immunity has been granted
following LH paying US$85m in
settlement of a series of class-action
lawsuits in the USA.

International Air Lines has also
been released from the actions, with
US law allowing leniency in cartel
cases for the first defendant to
