USA Yet anotherone bites the dust

Foerst var det Aloha som takket for seg .. neste er charterselskapet Champion som gaar til styrt avvikling ...

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Champion Air announced today that it will cease flight operations May 31, 2008.

“This is a sad day for the entire Champion family,” said Champion President and CEO Lee Steele. “The men and women of this airline have poured themselves into providing safe, reliable and pleasing service to millions of customers over our 11 years in business. Unfortunately, our business model is no longer viable in a world of $110 oil, a struggling economy and rapidly changing demand for our services. Those factors also have impeded our efforts to attract new capital and new investors. Accordingly, the management team and our board of directors have decided that the best course of action is to cease flying and to wind up our operations in a responsible, deliberate manner.”

Synd med Alhoa, det var et tradisjonsrikt selskap. Priskrig og høye bensinpriser var vel det som tok knekken på selskapet.

Akkurat det er vel ikke det største tapet...men veldig synd for de ansatte når slikt skjer.

Med så høy oljepris blir det vel ekstra tungt for selskaper med eldre flymodeller som 727.

Av en eller annen grunn kommer det gjerne flere slike meldinger på omtrent samme dato. Husker jo at Delta (?) og Northwest sendte varsel samme dagen. Tilfeldigheter, eller har de faste datoer å forholde seg til, f.eks innen en bestemt dato hver måned. Tipper vel mest på tilfeldighetene her...

Som også er verdens største operatør av B727 i passasjerutgave. Nr. 2 og 3 på listen er henholdsvis Kelowna og Aerosur, som begge nå rykker opp én plassering.

Det samme virker det som Aloha også gjør. Det er ikke alltid man kommer seg levende ut fra Ch11, men havner istedet under Ch 7 (liquidation bankruptcy)

Aloha gikk i Chapter 11 og valgte selv aa shutte ned. Mulig at de innsaa at de ikke ville klare aa faa DIP-finansiering.

Champion er en styrt avvikling. De avvikler charterkontraktene sine og betaler ut skyldnere og ansatte.
