Cyprus Air advisers warn cash running out

 

NICOSIA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Cyprus Airways faces losses of up to 28 million pounds ($53.1 million) in 2005 and could run out of cash by the year-end, a survival plan for the troubled flag carrier says.

 

The report, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, says the ailing state-run airline must axe almost a fifth of its staff, or 343 jobs, to possibly break even in 2006. ($1=0.47 Cyprus pound)

Morgen,

 

mach dir mal keine Sorgen.

Da hängt die Regierung mit drin, d.h. eine Pleite des Flag-Carriers käme einer nationalen Katastrophe gleich (Schöne Grüsse nach Griechenland und Italien!!!!!!!).

Intern wird sich bei Cyprus einíges ändern müssen, aber auch das ist zu schaffen.

Die Charter-Tochter Eurocypria ist ja wirtschaflich recht erfolgreich, dass schlimmste was passieren kann(!) ist das man die Airline Hops gehen lässt und nach Vorbild Eurocypria mit neuen Strukturen (Orga, Gehälter...) einen Tag später wieder in die Luft lässt!

 

Grüsse

@ATN340:

 

Da wär ich mir gar nicht so sicher. Am Schluss müssen auch die Mitarbeiter der Cyprus da mitspielen, und ob die das machen, ist mehr als fraglich.

 

Mit der Schlammschlacht die Cyprus gegen die Helios losgetreten hat nach dem Absturz der B733, wollte sich die Cypus ja wohl noch einwenig Luft machen.

 

Persönlich sehe ich die Zukunft für Cyprus nicht so rosig. Die haben vor längerer Zeit schon angekündigt, dass Sie die Flotte verkleinern werden - eine A320 verliess dann auch die Flotte, aber das ist wohl noch nicht genug.

 

Ein weiters Thema ist die Hellas Jet. Die sollte eigentlich den Flugbetrieb einstellen, aber die drei A320 fliegen immer noch umher. Wie aber die genauen Deals sind weiss ich nicht. Zwei A320 fliegen bei Volare wohl mit Volare Crew und die dritte A320 teilweise bei Olympic - hier müsste es noch HellasJet Crew an Bord haben.

CY pilots pour scorn on rescue plan

 

CYPRUS Airways (CY) pilots union PASIPY yesterday totally rejected a rescue plan to save the company and warned that if it was put in front of them again, the move would prompt a reaction.

In a written announcement PASIPY said that any hopes they had the airline might be saved by the plan had been dashed on reading its content. The union said the controversial blueprint was inconclusive.

 

“After carefully reviewing the ‘plan’, our hopes of revitalising and financially rescuing the company have been transformed to that of disappointment and worry over the present and future of Cyprus Airways and its personnel,” the statement said.

 

“The ‘plan’ does not contain one single viable solution and is only vague and inconclusive. It also appears to be unfairly playing down the hard work that the staff of Cyprus Airways have been doing all of these years while at the same time it is calling on the personnel to pay the costs for the criminal mistakes that were made by the previous Cyprus Airways board.”

(...)

Under the plan CY must axe 343 jobs, almost one fifth of its staff, or go bust by the end of the year. The plan also includes across-the-board salary cuts starting with eight per cent for pilots and five per cent for the remainder of staff, plus other cuts in benefits, most notably to provident funds, which are sacrosanct to the unions.

 

CY’s board had hoped the unions would agree quickly to the blueprint, which it must submit to the EU on November 2 in order to gain approval for a £58 million loan to cover the £10 million cost of redundancies, £30 million to pay back a recently-acquired short-term loan, and £18 million for the cost of restructuring.

(...)

CYNIKA has said it will not negotiate with the company on the proposals in the plan until the board hands over the research and studies that were done by the foreign experts that drew up the plan. It also warned that if the company attempted to pull any ‘unilateral actions’ as far as the plan was concerned, the unions would not hesitate to protect their rights.

 

Nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis die mal streiken :(

Bei aller Kritik gegenüber den Türkischen Fluglinien- man sollte vielleicht mal n'en Türken als Manager bei Cyprian anheuern...

Im allgemeinen sind türkische Airlines besser gemanaged als griechische.

( Turkish,Pegasus,Atlasjet,Sunexpress,Freebird,Inter Airlines..)

Und weiter im Programm. Also langsam wirds doch eng. Es ist wohl auch kaum davon auszugehen, dass die Pilotengewerkschaft nun klein beigeben wird. :(

Wie soll das weitergehen?? Am DO werden wir schlauer sein.

 

CY could close if unions fail to agree

 

CYPRUS Airways (CY) chairman Lazaros Savvides yesterday warned that unless agreement was reached with the unions on a controversial restructuring plan, the airline would be forced to close.

 

Savvides’ comments came within hours of a statement by pilots’ union PASIPY saying its members had given it the green light to strike if any proposals in the plan were implemented.

 

The latest crisis in the national carrier comes two days before the restructuring package is to be submitted to the EU for approval, in order for CY to secure a £58 million loan needed to save the company from closure.

(...)

Management was hoping unions would agree in principle so that the plan could be submitted to the EU by Thursday’s deadline. Details could then be ironed out by the end of the year in order to implement the plan by January 1, 2006, they said.

 

But after its general meeting yesterday, PASIPY said its members rejected the plan in its totality and would refuse to negotiate it. The union said it was disappointed with the actions of the new CY board to date, the management structure of the airline and the extension of CY activities to its low-cost carrier Eurocypria at the expense of the parent company.

(...)

PASIPY president Polis Economou said the CY board had given certain promises to the union that it was now reneging on. “They said they were going to call a halt to what has been going on at Cyprus Airways. It’s been 10 months, and not only did this not happen but the situation is worse than what it was,” he said.

(...)

CY’s biggest union CYNIKA is also refusing to negotiate. They want the original consultants’ report that the plan is based on. The union has sent a letter to the company saying that if the plan is submitted to the EU, they will not support it. “We don’t know yet if they are going to go ahead and submit it,” CYNIKA president Costas Demetriou told the Cyprus Mail last night.
