Damn another airline grounded due to financial problems.

Funny detail, the Italian news shows a picture of a Volare IL76

Well the management of this airline :

is more or less identical to the old Volare team....

This is indeed sad news again. Does anybody know if it is really the end for Volare or if this is just temporary that all aircraft are grounded?

I really hope it is only temperory. They were a nice airline.

Well, normally when all a/c are grounded, very fast the

leasing companies will take the aircraft out of Italy.

So, even if they start up again, they will still need a/c to fly with

(look at Vbird, a/c were also flown directly to Canada).

YEP! It is final according to a new post I received today:
http://www.compilots.com/article763.html

Strangely enough, the top guns that ran that company are going to run a new airline!

If I remeber well this company hired a lot of belgian A320 rated pilots, I feel really bad that they have to go trough another bankruptcy!

Loved the V'web clours, will miss them!

What a shame! They had one of the nicest liveries around, especially that lion on the tail was very nice. Well, it seems like O'Leary's prediction that most low-cost companies in Europe will never last has come one step closer to reality...

compilots · Post by **compilots** » 19 Nov 2004, 22:06

Each time another airline declares bankruptcy, it is another huge blow to the aviation industry as every company employs hundreds of workers. This is a real shame!

When will it end?

Robin_Bamps · Post by **Robin_Bamps** » 19 Nov 2004, 22:08

Really sad that another nice livery will disappear from the European skies. I really loved their livery, especially the Volareweb.com c/s.

That's right ! I once saw a program on television (TV1 or Canvas) about Sabena-pilots that found a new job, and it featured a Belgian pilot that had found a new job with Volare (as captain on the A330 if I remember well).

Damned

I knew an ex-Sabena pilot flying there...

I think we will see more low-cost falling in the mid future...

And no Glider it is not over yet.

It is only a beginning, alas!
We predicted a bloodbath, meaning it would be violent.
What we see now are indigenous airlines disappearing, passing away, of which some were shot in the back, if I may say...
We will soon see foreigners risk their chances on the territories of the remaining indigenous airlines, making their situation even more uncomfortable.
Airlines of the make of Emirates, Etihad and next of kin, will come and push european indigenous carriers out of balance, and that will be much worse.

It is time to put a halt to these practices by applying the same measures to these operators, as their origin countries apply to our industries and citizens.

Flying-Belgian · Post by **Flying-Belgian** » 20 Nov 2004, 12:52

The main reason of all this results mostly of under-capitalized companies.
When some of them are quoted on stock makets, they tend to be over evaluated as well.

It is the same issue we lived up with the Internet values crash a few years ago.

Still, I assume there will be a consolidation with FR, EZY dominating in Europe.

Just my opinion.

MyAir: A new Italian low cost company

Avro · Post by **Avro** » 20 Nov 2004, 21:49

Well, it's definitely not the end of all those failures. There will be many more bankruptcies in the future.
While one goes down there are several new LCC which are created in Europe in the meantime. The market will saturate at this speed and won't be able to absorb all this capacity offered by all those airlines if it continues like that.

We also have to be realistic (even if this might sound rude). There are too much airlines in Europe, in the low cost market as well as in the "full frills" market. Inevitably there will be some airlines which will be forced to shut down or to reduce their capacity or/and ambitions.

Now this being said, I still which the MyAir team a lot of success in this cruel world (let's hope it won't end the same way as with Volare)....
