Volare Group situation is the follow:
1) Volareweb division is performing very well. Good yield and high load factor on the domestic network and on a large part of European routes. They are using 18 A320.
2) Air Europe is still alive only to keep long haul rights. They have only one A320 in PE livery, but they put PE code on all long haul network.
3) Volare Airlines got the worst situation. They had all the old debits, low demand on charter flights and they provide all the fleet and F/As-pilots to all the group divisions.
So in few word only Volareweb is good, all the rest is really in a bad situation.
Plan is to try to sell all the airlines to a big company, or shout down PE and VA and keep only Volareweb.
At the moment:
A320 I-PEKO (stored in DUB)
A321 I-PEKM (stored in DUB)
A320 F-XXXX (stored in SXF)
2 A332 in MXP.
Reason of the situation:
1) Old debits when VA bought PE
2) Cost of the VAweb start up
3) Low demand in charter market
4) Strong cpmpetition in long haul charter from L4, BV e GJ
In any case Volareweb will start from mid december two new routes:
VCE-BCN
FCO-BCN
Their advertising in Italy are really good. They used all the main newspapers, radios and also national TV.
Their brand in Italy is well known, like Ryanair, maybe more in the south part of the country.
