REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
The highlights of the Physical and Financial Performance of the Company for 2010-11 vis-a-vis 2009-10 are as under: The Scheduled Services Revenue, before revenue sharing with the holding company Air India Limited (AI) declined marginally from Rs.17103.600 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.17082.100 Millions in 2010-11. Despite a 7.5% increase in yield, the lower revenue was primarily due to a 4.1 % decline in the number of single flights, which was mainly due to loss of one aircraft in Mangalore Crash on 22nd May 2010.
During the year, the Total Revenue of the Company, after revenue sharing with AI, was Rs.13516.600 Millions as compared to Rs.14018.600 Millions for the year 2009-10. representing a decrease of approximately 3.58 % (the total revenue includes profit of Rs.389.600 Millions due to retirement of one aircraft at Mangalore, as stated above). The total expenditure of the Company was Rs.17433.500 Millions as against Rs. 17625.500 Millions for the year 2009-10, representing a marginal decrease of 1.09 %.
Operating expenses decreased by Rs.438.600 Millions due to the decrease in the number of flights operated in 2010-11 and returning three very first dry leased aircraft. However, inspite of reduction in flying hours during 2010-11, the total operating cost has not reduced proportionately, due to increase in fuel rates by 17% (Rs.631.000 Millions). The Net Loss before taxation during 2010-11 was Rs.3916.900 Millions as against Rs. 3606.900 Millions in 2009-10.
OPERATIONS
Air India Express
ended 2009-10 with a total of 203 flights per week. The same schedule was continued
in Summer 2010. Despite the unfortunate loss of VT-AXV on May 22, 2010 this
schedule was maintained for 3 months.
In September 2010,
in order to remove dead legs and reduce cost of operation, an aircraft base was
created in Tiruchirapalli and one aircraft was moved from Chennai to
Tiruchirapalli. This aircraft operated direct point-to-point flights to
Singapore and Dubai. This eliminated the Chennai-Tiruchirapalli dead leg which
resulted in cost reduction of about Rs. 62.000 Millions annually. At the
same time Chennai-Kuala Lumpur flight was rerouted as
Chennai-Tiruchirapalli-Kuala Lumpur, in order to provide a direct flight from
Tiruchirapalli to Kuala Lumpur and recapture the market from South East Asian
carriers who had monopolized the market. This flight also provided
a night time
connection from Chennai to Singapore via Tiruchirapalli, in addition to the
daily Chennai-Singapore flight in the afternoon.
However, from the
end of August 2010, Air India Express was forced to curtail operations due to
an acute shortage of cabin crew. Despite this, Air India Express operated
almost all of its scheduled flights up to September 20, 2010 which constituted
the peak period for return travel to Gulf at the end of the Summer vacation.
Some flights were operated with Air India aircraft. After September 20, 2010,
in the traditional lean season, some flight operations were curtailed. Air
India Express was forced to reduce its flights to 166 flights per week. As an
immediate measure, frequency was curtailed on several routes instead of
withdrawing operations from any sector. Flights on the Gulf route were
curtailed as it was low season, rather than South East Asia which was in its
shoulder/peak season due to Dassera and Diwali holidays. Passengers of the
curtailed flights were accommodated on alternate Air India/Air India Express
flights or given full refund according to their preference.
Walk-in interviews
for recruiting Cabin crew were conducted on August 24, 2010 in Kochi.
Winter 2010
commenced with a curtailed schedule comprising 156 flights per week due to
continued Cabin Crew restrictions. In this schedule, loss-making flights such
as Dhaka-Kolkata-Bangkok, Mumbai-Dhaka were withdrawn. Frequency of operation
was reduced on some routes like Chennai-Singapore, Kozhikode-Muscat, Kuwait
etc. A second aircraft was placed in Mangalore from Delhi. The thrice weekly
Kozhikode-Managalore-Dubai flight was rerouted as Mangalore-Dubai direct
flight, thereby reducing the cost of operation. Amritsar-Abu Dhabi-Muscat flights
were operated with Mangalore based aircraft as Mangalore-Abu
Dhabi-Muscat-Amritsar vv flight. This resulted in removal of the Delhi-Amritsar
dead leg, resulting in an annualised cost reduction of about Rs. 70.000 Millions.
Curtailed flights
were re-introduced in a phased manner from December 2010, as and when the crew
completed their mandatory training and became available for flying. All
Kerala-Gulf flights were reinstated by February 14, 2011. Details on the number

flights were not reintroduced and the frequency of day-time Chennai-Singapore
flight was maintained at 4 flights per week due to their continued poor
performance. Mumbai-Dhaka flights were not reintroduced as they were no longer
required by Air India, which had shifted its hub and thereby most of its
international operations to New Delhi. Kozhikode-Mangalore-Dubai vv flight was
continued as Mangalore-Dubai vv and Amritsar-Abu Dhabi-Muscat was continued on
the Mangalore based aircraft to reduce cost of operation.

DGCA favours
financial autonomy for AI Express
New Delhi Jan 31, 2012, The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has recommended giving financial autonomy to Subject, the company which runs Air India Express, the low-cost brand of Air India operating in the international sector.
“From a safety perspective, it is imperative that AICL be given financial autonomy,” said a financial audit report done by the aviation regulator.
The DGCA decided to go for a financial audit of all the airlines after Kingfisher Airlines grounded planes and cancelled flights without prior information. A safety audit had raised issues on the functioning of Kingfisher and AI Express. The audit of Air India is currently on.
AI Express is the international low-cost carrier subsidiary of the government carrier, and operates in West Asian and Southeast Asian countries with its base in central Kerala’s Kochi. The airline operates 204 flights a week and connects 14 international destinations
The airline, with an equity base of Rs.300.000 Millions, operates 21 Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Of the 21 aircraft, 17 are owned by the company, while the rest are on lease.
AI Express has accumulated losses of Rs.11050.000 Millions and is estimated to incur losses of Rs.4300.000 Millions in the current financial year. It has a debt of over Rs.36870.000 Millions, comprising Rs.23870.000 Millions (long term for aircraft acquisition) and Rs.13000.000 Millions (short term).
According to an agreement with parent company Air India, the airline shares 25 per cent of the revenue with the latter. It is projected to share Rs.4300.000 Millions for 2011-12 on revenue of Rs.17000.000 Millions.
AI Express has to depend on its parent company for pilots and other administrative staff. “AI Express is considered the training ground for AI pilots,” said a senior AI official, who did not want to be identified. “The airline does not have its own pilot cadre. The shortage will continue unless it creates its own cadre of pilots.”
AI Express, the official added, is financially much stable than its parent company, which is under huge losses. “AI Express is estimated to make losses of Rs.4300.000 Millions, and that is exactly the amount it will pay to Air India,” the official said. “If one removes that, the airline will be a profit making company.”
Air India is under huge losses of Rs.200000.000 Millions and a debt of Rs.430000.000 Millions. The airline is also working on debt restructuring plans with 26 banks that had lent to the carrier.
It has also asked the government to infuse around Rs.54000.000 Millions more in the current financial year. The government has already infused Rs.32000.000 Millions (Rs.12000.000 Millions infused in 2011-12) in the airline.

India Plans to Raise Upto USD 1.1 Billion
May 08, 2012 State-owned Air India plans to raise upto USD 1.1 billion including USD 300 million for its subsidiary Air India Charters Ltd to fund aircraft acquisition and meet its working capital requirements
The airline has invited proposals from the banks and financial institution to
raise these funds.
"Air India invites offers from banks/financial institutions to arrange
bridge financing upto USD 500 million for induction of 4 B787 aircraft,"
according to a document posted on the airline's website.
The airline needs interim bridge financing for a 6-12 month period to acquire four
Dreamliner aircraft, which are to be delivered to it between June December
2012, it said.
However, the funds sought to be raised would not be covered by a sovereign
guarantee and instead the airline would offer the aircraft or some other
equivalent collateral as security, the document stated, adding airline would
repay the loan after selling and leasing back the four planes.
Besides, the airline has also floated an "invitation of offers" for
raising funds upto USD 600 million through the external commercial borrowing
(ECB) route to meet its working capital requirements.
It is seeking to raise funds for at least three-year period at either a fixed
or floating rate, according to the offer document.
Of this, upto USD 300 are to be raised for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Air
India Charters, which operates its low-cost international arm, Air India
Express.
The Government had in April allowed domestic carriers to raise up to USD 300
million each from the overseas markets during this fiscal to meet working capital
needs.
Last month, the government had approved Air India's turnaround plan and a
financial restructuring plan (FRP) which involves a Rs 30,000-crore equity
infusion by the government over the next eight-year period and a debt recast
(CDR) of Rs 21,200 crore.
The financial restructuring plan will provide relief to Air India from its debt
servicing obligations on working capital loans by way of substantial reduction
in interest outgo, while giving it necessary time to improve its operational
efficiency.
