Airline Bankruptcies!

So...

Aloha Airlines, ATA, Champion Air, and now possibly KLM and Alitalia.

Airlines are dropping out of the sky like crazy these days, and aside from making my job a friggen nightmare, it is going to shit on the economy really bad.

Discuss.

lol...im not sure if canada is the same, but the US doesnt have competition really because no airline can have more than 20% of its ownership outside of the states.

KLM is partnered with Northwest....I freakin' hate NWA. but i still have a free ticket w/ them!!! lol

Northwest isn't going Bankrupt, so no worries on that... but KLM is talking about pulling out soon.

I would suggest using your ticket with NWA soon though.

/resume

KLM seems fine

im gonna fly with them next friday

KLM is awesome

flew with them heaps in europe

There's nothing about KLM on Wikipedia concerning the bankruptcy. Are you sure about that? Air France-KLM is the largest airline company in the world in terms of total operating revenues.

Anyway, one of our most traditional airline companies went bankrupt last year. It was chaotic and, if it weren't for the government, it could have been a lot worse.

well, is theresa ya know

hehe

that sux, well that's what happens i guess when the prices are jacked up to no end and nobody flies

theresa, i think the klm rumors may have gotten tangled up with alitalia? cause thats all thats on google regarding bankruptcy.

Won't do that much to the economy, its already stuffed anyway and for the most part, investors recognise that most airlines are complete dogs for throwing money at.

yep..its too bad the airlines here wont get their act together and be competitive with southwest, jetblue, expressjet, and virgin america.

This is another case of "Theresa saw a news headline" imo.


Abolutely nothing new or bizarre has happened in the airline world at all.

Both Aloha & ATA have been struggling for years, and gas prices have finally caught up to Champion's 727 fleet.

Most people saw this coming.

australia only used to have two big airlines (ansett and qantas). ansett went completely bust a few years back after the travel scare.

we now have three major airlines: virgin, jetstar (domestic) and qantas.

qantas is yet to lose a single civilian passenger, but the competitive pressure in the market has forced them to start servicing their planes in asia.

i'm pretty sure airlines everywhere are basically pwnd.
