Comment on MAS to operate three international routes from KK in Dec 2012 by The Gooberman

Could you please elaborate? I read Tony Fernandes’ blog. The latest post was about AirAsia’s discussions with the management of Nagoya Airport in Japan. I didn’t see anything negative in there, but, then, I don’t share your perspicacity!

Tight rope

You have raised some very valid points.

If you think back to the days of Malaysia-Singapore Airline (MSA) and the politics that led to MSA splitting into MAS and SIA, you will realise that the 2 airlines have been on very divergent growth paths.

Enough has been written about that.

The problem is that the lessons that could have been learnt from that split-up and the subsequent developments have not been grasped and understood by the relevant decision makers in Malaysia.

Yesterday I read a Reuters report titled “JAL makes a modest return to Tokyo exchange”. Parts of that report are quoted here, as there are considerable similarities to the predicament that MAS is now in.

“The carrier, also known as JAL, was delisted after it went bankrupt in 2010 but has since carried out cost cuts and restructured to return to solid profitability. It’s 663 billion (RM24.9 billion) IPO nearly doubled the 350 billion yen that went into its government-backed bailout…….

“Once Japan’s flagship carrier and a national icon known for courteous service and punctuality, JAL symbolised the country’s economic rise and then it’s stagnation as it struggled with a bloated workforce, unpopular routes and safety lapses.

“Kazuo Inamori, one of Japan’s most celebrated entrepreneurs as founder of both ceramics maker Kyocera Corp and mobile carrier KDDI Corp, oversaw the airline’s restructuring after it applied for bankruptcy after racking up mountains of debt.

“Since its default, JAL has trimmed a third of its payroll, investing in low-cost carriers, retiring its big jets in favour of smaller ones suitable for regional hauls and changing its routes to emphasise international routes rather than sluggish domestic ones……

“JAL’s comeback has drawn criticism that the government-backed bailout might have been unfair to its rival carrier in Japan, All Nippon Airways (ANA) which made gains when JAL was struggling.

“Japan Airlines posted a profit of 187 billion yen for the fiscal year ended March 2012, while All Nippon Airways recorded a 28 billion profit for the fiscal year through March 2012.

“The industry remains highly competitive, and Japanese increasingly are no longer so loyal as they used to be to national carriers. Meanwhile, budget airlines and Chinese carriers with significantly lower cost bases are challenging both JAL and ANA on both domestic and international routes, the CAPA – Centre for Aviation said in a recent report.

“It praised JAL’s decision to shift its focus to overseas markets. “It’s plan is a solid start, and remarkable when considering the inefficiencies in the carrier at the start of the decade,” it added.”

Note the key points in the report: bloated workforce, unpopular routes, safety lapses, cost cuts, restructuring, trimmed a third of its payroll, invested in low-cost carriers, retired its big jets in favour of smaller ones, changed its routes network, brought in an entrepreneur to oversee its restructuring.

All of that without any adverse reactions from JAL’s workers and unions.

Are the lessons so difficult for MAS to learn and apply?

How come when the main agreement between MAS and AA is cancelled, the corresponding swaps of routes are not reverted? This is one-sided and not to MAS advantage. Long-term, MAS will turn from gold into rusty iron. At the same time, you can appoint Dr Mohd Don or whoever you want to the board of directors or management but I think nothing will come out of it as nobody wants to admit that whatever decisions that had been done the past one year has been wrong decisions. Top management keeps sweeping things under the carpet and AJ hasn’t even come up with a clear business plan for the staff to work on. The investors also want to know when MAS will make money and declare dividends. One quarter losing less than the previous one doesn’t mean a profit is made. A loss is still a loss! Harping and hoping on the new Airbus 380 and joining One World Alliance to make money is still questionable. Is the Airbus flying full everyday? And what is the expected revenue when One World is online? Can anybody answer these questions? It’s no wonder that the share price is below par and the staff morale is still low. Work out a profit plan, AJ!

The entire fleet is being retired by the first quarter of 2013. About 80% of the old A330 fleet are now out of service.
