My Travel

[afterdark]

is MYT having a problem with an aircraft shortage, damaged or maintainance issue at this point of the season, there seems to be a lot of subcharters at Glasgow at the moment using Futura, Flyglobespan and Air Finland aircraft.
their 767-300 G-SJMC left on tuesday to ? flight MYT006P and G-DAJC 767-300 arriving from Abu Dhabi Wednesday morning flight MYT007E.

[Flyboy543]

Same kind of thing happening at EMA, A320 G-VCED has dissappeared after numerous problems with the no1 engine. Another A320 at the moment is taking its place. Last week they hired an Air Slovakia 757 to do the PMI route.

Could be an interesting summer for MY Travel if this continues!

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

Don`t think it is only MyTravel having problems this spring as I cannot remember so many sub charters at Manchester as there have been this week

G-I-B

[lba2006]

The Futura is planned to do all the GLA - HRG flights this summer, so it isn't a sub

[svw8700]

G-VCED is now operating out of LGW. GLA flights have been subbed due to the late arrival of a SSV A320, which was subsequently damaged on the ground in MAN.

[firstforfirstchoice]

It is the same at BHX, one of Mytravel's A321's has been down at BHX on various days over May, in place of one of their two A320's that they base at BHX.

Perhaps their fleet redution has had something to do with this.

[richardnei]

In BFS todays BFS-SFB flight MYT056 is showing delayed indefinitely, should have left at 09:55 this morning.

MYT055 Sanford Orlando 09:55 - DELAYED INDEFINITELY

Whats happen to this flight?

Richard

[ILOVEMCO]

richardnei

I believe that flight originates at GLA before heading to BFS, according to
SFB's website

http://www.orlandosanfordairport.com/fids.asp?Display=Arrivals

Perhaps it's still at GLA

[Thomas_Cook_757-300]

Hi,

A Skyservice A320 was damaged on the ground on the 3rd May by ground equipment and is due to re-enter service on 10th June I believe and an A330 was damaged last week by ground crews at Las Vegas which caused a lengthy delay.

G-SJMC was positioning to Manchester as MYT006P I believe?

Other then that, Manchester has been operating with excellent OTP during May with the majority of flights arriving early - some have been noted as much as an hour and 5 minutes ahead of schedule.

Thanks

[Mr Angry from Purley]

Presumably they are using a FUTURA aircraft on the GLA-HRG due to their somewhat flexible working arrangements whereas My Travel would have to crew change in HRG or double crew the flight.
Safety first!:\

[afterdark]

Flyglobespan who did the HRG flights for MYT last year on a Friday didn't do a crew swap ! so why would MYT ?.... do MYT do a crew swap on the SSH route ?

[Kestrel_909]

I believe the BFS-SFB 767 had an engine problem and departed around 0020local this morning, the return was operated with an A332 without a 15hour delay, not sure if it was on time but certainly more on time than the outbound.

Today's MyT GLA-SFB is to be operated by a DC10, of Omni Air?

[Mr Angry from Purley]

afterdark
Your right, Globespan did it last year and no-one sure how!, Im certainly aware it was a concern for the Pilots there:\

[FlyZB]

Many of the short haul flights out of MAN have been operating on the A330's of late, with loads of only around 180 - 200 pax. This would suggest they're suffering from an aircraft shortage. They got rid of a couple of 320's to other airlines just before the start of the summer and it appears they're suffering a little as a result. No A320's are based at MAN at the minute. MAN currently has 2 based A321's (G-SMTJ and G-DHJH) and a third 321 (G-NIKO) has been positioning in from BHX/NCL at weekends and then positioning out again. Clearly not ideal and if this continues, there are bound to be delays as a result

[danskpilot]

Normal start to summer for MYT. Nothing to do with the guys who work there- just the normal planning by their Directors who always know better than their staff when it comes to operational issues. When will they understand NH and SS needs to go?????? Also the Ops Manager is on his way out..................

[firstforfirstchoice]

Does anyone know where Mytravel's B757 and now two B767's are based.

Think their B757 is based at Manchester, but not sure, what about their two B767's, where are they based??

Thanks for any help in advance,

Cheers.

[Torque2]

Certainly 1 based in Gla, not sure if both aren't.:)

[Wodrick]

757 - MAN
1 x 767 - MAN
1 x 767 Split MAN / GLA

MAN has 3 x A321 - no 320

Odd things happening like 321 at NCL and 767/330 with 320 loads due to the damaged 320 currently under repair - OK

[codpiece face]

The GLA based 767 ops six days a week and positions to MAN on a sunday to do a SSH, would not call that a split would call that a GLA based 767. This week it is doing some short haul flying from GLA as the leased air finland 757 has returned.

[firstforfirstchoice]

Thanks for that guys, I know BHX have had a A321 operating on certain days, along with the other A320, as mentioned most likely due to one of their A320's been damaged.

Cheers. :ok: :ok:

Hope my A320 I am due to fly on soon LGW-MIR becomes a 332/757/763 :}
No hope but I can dream!

[sky9]

Today's Daily Telegraph suggests that both First Choice and TUI are looking at mounting a bid for "why travel".

[Harry the Hound]

Ahh My My (pardon the pun) how times change, i remember when they were after First Choice not so long ago, I would think that would be a tasty investment for FC or TUI, I'd of thought with FC's current buying power they'd be the favourites and with FC's intrest in the American/Canadian market the ownership of SkyService fleet would be very useful and profitable to them. How's MYT getting on paying back their missing 900 million or what ever it was, got to of made a decent dent in it by now surely?

[Pilot Pete]

From Travel Mole

City speculates on £2.5bn MyTravel takover

The City was rife with speculation yesterday about a possible £2.5 billion takeover of MyTravel as the group's shares rose before falling back again.

Rumours centred on First Choice being in the frame to bid for Airtours parent MyTravel - ironic given that the reverse was the case prior to MyTravel's well documented financial woes of four years ago.

TUI was also talked about being in the frame for MyTravel, which has seen recovery following a financial restructuring. TUI was also being linked with a move for First Choice.

First Choice shares were up 8.5 to 223.5p yesterday with MyTravel ending the day up 2.5p to 240.5p.

Industry insiders do not see the sense in First Choice moving away from a strategy of developing higher earning specialist areas such as adventure holidays.

However, it has long been thought that the so-called Big Four UK tour operators - TUI, Thomas Cook, First Choice and MyTravel - are prime candidates for consolidation particularly now they face increasing competition from no-frills airlines and online travel firms which have far lower cost bases.

Both MyTravel and First Choice announce interim results in two weeks time.

I'd of thought with FC's current buying power they'd be the favourites Not sure why you would think First Choice would have greater buying power than TUI, I think it comes more down to how any suiter would view My Travel fitting into their plans. As the article points out, First Choice have been moving more towards the 'high end' tour operating market, whereas TUI have stayed with their 'bucket and spade' market and started developing a scheduled 'low fares' (they don't call it low cost) arm within their UK airline Thomsonfly and German sister Hapag Lloyd Express.

PP

[afterdark]

I also cant see where the MYT long haul Airbus fleet apart from the 2 763's that Skyservice had (personally I dont use MYT for long flights due to use of 763 that was bent previously at Punta Cana )would mix well with FCA's Boeing long haul fleet & FCA the UK launch customer for the 787.

[Pilot Pete]

I personally wouldn't have thought that fleet types would be the big issue, whichever airline/ parent company were to buy it would gradually change to the fleet of their choice. First Choice already have an Airbus Fleet if that makes any difference, whereas TUI are all Boeing.

I would have thought that it would be the market share that any purchaser would want to get their hands on, which again, as First Choice is actively trying to move out of the lower end of the IT market (a shrinking market due to the lo-co competition) then a purchase of My Travel would not seem to fit with this strategy.

PP

[Harry the Hound]

Some good points there, to be honest i didnt take in to account so much the UK fleet, I would think FC wouldn't be in a hurry to change it all over, I imagine they'd operate Airtours along side First Choice for a couple of years, watching their aquasitions over the past few years they've gradually intergrated them. I just imagine that Skyservice and Sunquest Canada would work nicely alongside Travel Choice shops that FC already have in Canada and the thought of a fleet overseas for FCA would seem quite juicy too, especially considering they're moving away from short haul europe market, and there isnt such a strong loco competition operating from Canada to the Caribbean.
Surely though with either an FC or TUI bid the monopolies and merger comission wont be to happy! eventually it will mean less choice for consumers which they really dont like.

[Han Special]

Since the takeover of FC by MYT was blocked by the EU a few years ago due to competition rules, why should they allow anyone to takeover MYT now?Having said that there is probably room for some consolidation in the charter market now that LCC's are eating their lunch.

There are obvious synergies when you look at the international situation re canada and skyservice.FC is also a british carrier which has a similar market share to myt.A very interesting rumour but nevertheless thats all it is.

[Saxon Ops]

CAA AUC stats confirm MYT No 1 OTP airline Winter 2005/6, well ahead of competition. OTP appears to be good for start of summer despite problems with 2 x aircraft involved in ground damage.

Nice to see an airline willing to spend money on sub-charters to reduce delays and put passengers first. Historically, MYT like others just ran with massive delays for days. Apparently, not any more.

Futura aircraft is operating a whole line of flying at GLA, mostly under their flight designator but HRG and some Turkey flights on MYT flight number due fifth-freedom / licence issues. FUA will be operating according to MYT flight time limitations per JAR-OPS requirements. I hear BALPA consulted on operation as part of foreign carrier approval by CAA - public record. No worries about foreigners putting Brits out of work.

A321 ex-MAN is used to cover A320 at other bases when they are required on hangar check. A321 is back-filled with Boeing.

A330 sometimes used to cover disruption because it is planned stand-by aircraft on many days.

All very logical and well planned. Lets wait and see May OTP figures to see how well they still doing.

As for the bid rumours; maybe FCA and TUI just realising they are not top dogs anymore and need to buy to improve their own performance.

MYT - from basket case to sought after in just over one year. Not bad management from where I sit.

[Tommyinyork]

If FCA buy MYT i can see the fleets pretty much remain the same.
If TUI take over, god knows what will happen to the Airbuses.
Weren't Air Atlanta interested at one point ?

[firstforfirstchoice]

Hi all,

Just had a quick look in the current Airline world magazine, which says that Mytravel have begun detailed studies for their A330 replacement.

Are they getting "back on their feet" now financially?? As there has been rumours of take over from First Choice or Thomson.

Let's hope no take over happens and let's hope an order will be announcend in the short term for new aircraft, my bet is on the A350.

As I know Mytravel have had their fare share of problems over the last few years, like evert airline/company has, but I think they are starting to catch up with the big three UK holiday companies again, First Choice, Thomas Cook and Thomson and I hope they find their way back on top where they belong.

Long live Mytravel, even if we still have some of their planes in old hybird/Airtours livery!! Get em painted!! The rate were going, Mytravel will decide to change their livery or branding again!!

Also while on the subject of Mytravel, does anyone know what will happen to their B757-200 and their two B767-300's after the summer 2006 season, as I thought the comapny were getting rid of their Boeing fleet, or has this changed??

Many thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions on this topic. :ok: :ok:

[akerosid]

Purely speculation on my part and I have no inside knowledge of the airline, but it appears to me that a charter airline would be more likely to pick the 787, due to the extra cabin width; the A350 can't take nine abreast, but the 787 could, quite comfortably.

I don't really see anyone else buying the A350, as it's been discredited due to the very public criticism by major airlines and leasing companies.

[longarm]

Thought the A350 was the same cabin width as the A330? This accomodates 3-3-3.

[Fuel Crossfeed]

The A350 no longer exists it has gone back to the drawing board. As longarm says and I think too, it was going to be same width as A330. Airbus were not happy about the feedback from various airlines after their presentations, so its been put back a couple of years and a rethink by the designers.
Glad MYT are are back on their feet as well!!

[Mr @ Spotty M]

The A350 or A370 or what they are going to call it, is going to have a wider cabin width than B787.:ok:

[haughtney1]

The A350 or A370 or what they are going to call it, is going to have a wider cabin width than B787.

Seems MYT's recovery plan still has some way to go - shares majorly down on todays stock market announcement.......

"Travel group MyTravel lost ground in London on Wednesday, after it slashed its 2006 profit forecast and said its U.K. business won't move back into profit this year.

Broadly, the U.K. FTSE 100 index added 0.2% at 5,906, as investors took on board a positive end to trading on Wall Street overnight. European markets were also higher.

MyTravelwas trading down 8.3% in London, having traded down as much as 20% lower earlier in the session.

The company said that it now expects to report pretax profit of 40 million to 45 million pounds for fiscal 2006, the first time it's reported a profit since 2001.

Analysts at Merrill Lynch said that they were expecting the company to earn 66 million pounds in the year, while a consensus estimate supplied by Reuters had pegged profit at 85 million pounds, the bank said.

The company also said its U.K. business is no longer expected to return to profit this year and would post a loss of 10 million to 15 million pounds.

MyTravel said that the recent U.K. security alerts and terrorist incidents in Turkey and Jordan compounded an already difficult summer trading period.

Currency and fuel costs are also expected to hurt, it added.

MyTravel also said the U.K winter trading period has started slowly and is currently being hindered by security concerns. Overall, winter charter holiday bookings are down 11% on 10% less capacity, with the average selling price up 4% , it added.

Merrill Lynch said the results highlight the execution risks of the company's turnaround plan."

[FD Standby]

£910 Million loss to a £45 million profit in three years seems quite impressive to me.

Ok - we wont do as forecast; but this is due to events beyond our control.

All the other operators are faced with the same situations, and so should all struggle equally.

[Thomas_Cook_757-300]

Hi,

As above, £45 million profit is a good result considering all that has happened this year and as mentioned, all other tour operators will be facing the same problems.

MyTravel's US and Northern Europe divisions are outstripped previous years performances to produce record results each year and in the US, MyTravel recently began the acquisition trail again in purchasing a cruise retailer from First Choice to compliment its successful Cruise Store brands.

I say well done to MyTravel and I expect many more new and exciting destinations will be launched this November to compliment Samana and China for Summer 2007!

If you take a glance at Thomas Cook UK, a leaked memo to employees, from its chief admitted the company is experiencing its worst trading in 20 years and described it as being 'dire'.

Another example would be TUI UK, in August cutting 100s of jobs and closing their Glasgow call centre.

All tour operators are under pressure at the moment due to events above and beyond their control.

Hedge fund lifts MyTravel stake
14 Sep 2006
US hedge fund Pardus has taken advantage of the dip in MyTravel’s share price to increase its stake in the tour operator to 7.15%. At the start of August it owned 5.1% of the business.

Pardus is known in the investment community as an activist hedge fund – building up stakes in a company in order to force management to unlock value for shareholders. In the States, a different Pardus fund has built up a 14.8% stake in a health club operator Bally getting three of its people onto the nine-man board in the process. It has recently entered into ‘a confidentiality agreement’ with operator.

MyTravel’s shares dropped by up to 20% yesterday (Tues) following its profit warning, although it closed at 188p, a 6.4% drop. At 1pm today it was trading at 187.75p.

Following the profit warning, Citigroup has downgraded MyTravel to ‘hold’ from ‘buy’.
ABN Amro has reduced its forecasts but maintained its ‘hold’ rating. It now expects MyTravel to make a FY operating profit of £58.2m – a 32% reduction – while its target price for the stock has dropped to 205p from 220p.

[Pilot Pete]

£910 Million loss to a £45 million profit in three years seems quite impressive to me. Not knocking anyone here, but I am no economist, so in my simplistic terms that means it would take 20 years at such a profit level just to break even from the year where the £910m loss was made. Am I missing something here?

I heard yesterday MYT may be looking at a company designing a travel auction site to help gain valuable revenues and boost brand awareness.

Anyone any clues?

Who is going to book a holiday by mobile phone? I don't understand why MYT pursue this technology - it's too soon. Look at their (now defunct) TV station. They spent MILLIONS on that at a time when the business was on its knees. Instead of putting it out to a third party production company, they built their OWN TV studio/production facilities at Parkway in Manchester!:ugh:
I used to work for them and remember at the time the despair on the line at what the mandarins who ran the company were doing - a lot of them ultimately left with ££££'s in the pockets :mad: . You would have thought MYT had learnt a lesson regarding "new" technology.
I only hope the new web site is better than the original - it was absolutely DIRE. It just didn't work - far too complex. It would hang or crash or just stop reponding or offer you something TOTALLY unrelated to your original search. If wasn't so serious it would be funny. Again, the Airline kept asking the Holiday company what was being done to fix the problems (because ultimatley it was our jobs that were lost) and NOTHING happened - the website was PANTS for at least two years. This situation continued until it all went wrong big style two years ago.
I have no axe to grind and I sincerely hope MYT prospers for the sake of all my good colleagues still there - but when I read about booking holidays by mobile phone I get a feeling of deja vue. :rolleyes:
A4

[Thomas_Cook_757-300]

Hey,

The mobile phone technology is being perused by the big 3 - TUI, Thomas Cook and MyTravel so there must be a market for this.

The previous web platform was very reliable, not sure about the original though. MyTravel and related websites are the 4th most visited in the UK; after Expedia, Last Minute and TUI with weekly hits averaging over 1 million - up 64% YoY. With the enhancements recently made to the groups websites, conversion has exceeded the expected 10% uplift in online bookings and has soared to over 20%. Well over 25% of the groups business both UK, NE and NA now comes from its websites.

On the aviation side, MyTravel Airways is fully on track for the number one spot for on time performance for the 2nd consecutive season after a shift in OTP last Summer.

[Big Tudor]

Bring back AIRTOURS the uk best ever charter airline.
You having a laugh Daz? Average (yes average) delays of 50+mins do not make for a very good airline. And being referred to as "Scaretours" isn't the best advertising either. The company featured on Watchdog so often that it was rumoured David Crossland had his own parking spot at the BBC! Changing names was one of the best things they ever did IMHO (and I worked for them when the change took place).

[Thomas_Cook_757-300]

'Scaretours', 'Thomas Crap', 'Just Must Crap', 'Last Choice', 'No Choice', 'ThomsonCrap'... the list goes on and to be honest, I would take any nickname like that with a pinch of salt.

Customer service at MyTravel Group has really turned around, if you visit 'Holiday Truths' subforum on 'Holiday Complaints', there is not one subject on that main page relating to the Group's operators but instead, another large mainstream company. Another thing to take with a pinch of salt but nonetheless, a good indication.

The complicating factor being that, of that £910m loss, £552 consisted of write-downs on assets rather than a cash loss. The operating loss was ‘only’ £358m. In the case of this year’s expected £45m profit, that comes from a £55m operating profit.

Hi,

Does anybody know what aircraft is due to operate MYT53 Manchester - Sanford on Saturday? Is it a 332 or 763?

Thanks for any info.

J

[U/S President]

I doubt whether Skyservice Airlines would rename themselves MyTravel Airways Canada.

Most people apparently don’t realise that there is no equity/ownership link between the MyTravel Group and Skyservice Airlines. I think the situation is actually: that Sunquest (the Canadian tour operator that is part of the MyTravel Group) owns the leases on several aircraft and has a commercial arrangement that Skyservice Airlines operates the aircraft for them. Canadian ownership laws would probably prohibit MyTravel from owning it’s own Canadian airline to fly the aircraft.

So if Skyservice Airlines is not part of the MyTravel Group, why would they rename themselves MyTravel Airways Canada? Although, there’s always a possibility that MyTravel branding could be given greater prominence on aircraft Skyservice Airlines is operating on behalf of Sunquest.

[Thomas_Cook_757-300]

A couple of developments and news from MyTravel since the last post here in November:


The Group announced profits of £43.8m for the year end to October 31st.
New routes for 07 will MAN-SKG, LGW-OLB, MAN-SYX, LGW-SYX, MAN/LGW-AZS, EMA-MBA, LGW-BJL, MAN-SJJ, MAN-LAS (Year Round) and For March 2008 BFS-LAS.

Thank god it´s not Air Europa this year. I used to bring in this flight last summer (when it was shared with Thomsonfly) and all I used to get was complaints about how the crew could not speak Engllish and how crap the food was. I´ll give them their dues, the flight was more or less on time every week, apart from one Saturday when it arrived back to ALc 57 minutes early, lol.

If you're dealing with flight this year you going to have a late night - the departure from HUY is about 10pm

I have heard that Mytravel are returning their 2 767s to the lease company at the end of the 2007 summer season. Can anybody confirm whether this is correct?

Thanks

[Flightrider]

Not true. At least one 767 will remain in the fleet for the foreseeable future as there is a very significant financial issue if they are taken out of the fleet. When the three 767s were first acquired, they were financed through a fairly complicated UK tax lease structure. My understanding is that if the aircraft leave the fleet completely before the tax lease is complete, there is a massive tax implication. I think the earliest date that the last one can leave the fleet is 15 years from acquisition, so round about 2012 - unless, of course, the tax bill is paid!

The structure has changed slightly over the years - alongside the MyTravel 757s, the aircraft were owned by various different offshore companies. [I seem to recall that Elland Ltd, Ewood Ltd and Anfield Ltd were three Guernsey-based entities each owning a 757 - remember that when MyTravel Airways was first formed, its official company name was Airtours International Airways (Guernsey) Ltd]. Although I think this has now changed on the 767s, the tax implications of the original deal remain the same.

[goldeneye]

With the 767, now that MYT is being merged into TCX, would they be allowed to sublease the 767 to DE as they operated a fleet of Boeing 767-300's or would the tax lease not allow that ?

[Mr @ Spotty M]

I would guess that DE would not want them, different engines, DE are PW and MYT are GE.

It seems XL have gave us there worse a/c in there fleet and now its turnd on MYT making use look bad :mad:
so that is why it has not been looking good over the last few few weeks and that is also correct with what happend in FAO but anything else you can think that could happen to this a/c has happend, it is just a joke now :{

Mytravel have had a/c based in Scandinavia for years. I have seen them in Larnaca and Barbados, usually places where cruise ships depart from. You can usually spot their pax - blonde + very pale! Don't know what will happen when TCX merger gets into full swing.

Yeah MYT or DK as they are known do have about 15 i think on the OY register. The airline was called Premiair until the company rebranded Airtours International as MyTravel.

Lets hope they will stay as a MyTravel Brand as from what I understand Thomas Cook is unknows over there. Anyone more in the know like to inform us as i'd quite like to think MyTravel will live on in some form!
