IndiGo shares surge today, gain about 20% in 2 days

Shares of InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, today rallied nearly 10% to ₹1,128, extending their two-day gains to about 20%. Rival SpiceJet's shares also surged about 5% today. The domestic air travel resumed on May 25, following the directives issued by the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday said that the Central government will consider restarting international flights as soon as the COVID-19 situation "normalises a bit" and poses no threat to people.

"We are continuously monitoring the situation and will consider restarting international flights as soon as the situation normalises a bit and poses no danger to our citizens. We will also have to consider that countries, where we intend to fly, are open to incoming foreign citizens," Puri said in a series of tweets.

Indigo on Tuesday reported a net loss of ₹870.8 crore in the three months ended March, due to higher expenses and suspension of flight operations due to coronavirus pandemic took a toll.

"IndiGo’s robust balance sheet and competitive cost structure (set to improve further) is best placed amongst Indian carriers to withstand the current disruption and also be in a position to capitalise on growth recovery," Centrum Broking said in a report while maintaining buy on the stock with price target of ₹1,244.

"The management refrained from giving any guidance given the uncertainties related to Covid-19 but emphasised on various cost reduction and liquidity enhancement measures," the brokerage said.

Asserting that the company has a healthy balance sheet, energised workforce, efficient fleet, strong cost position and firm market position in India and in neighbouring countries, IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said the firm is determined to emerge stronger from this crisis.

Vistara Domestic Premium Economy vs. Economy – Is The Upgrade Worth It?

Economy on Vistara As one of only two  full-service carriers  in India, Vistara offers a high-quality economy product. On its A320, which used on most domestic routes, it offers 18-inch wide seats with a pitch of 29-30 inches. While this does sound standard, the well-padded seats and adjustable headrest make for a much more comfortable offering than its low-cost competitors. The seats also offer an acceptable 3″ recline. In terms of service, Vistara is one of the few airlines offering hot meals on domestic routes (minus short routes under an hour). All economy passengers, except those booked on Economy Lite fares, receive a meal along with hot or cold beverages. From personal experience, the meals are good and enough for domestic hops. For those traveling on Lite fares, only complimentary hot beverages are available. Vistara also has a small buy-on-board menu, which features packaged snacks and drinks, along with some hot instant meals. Originally, the airline served all passe...

And what planes do they power? Essential parts The engine is an essential part of the aircraft, providing the power and thrust required to operate an aircraft and keep it in the air. Engines also determine  aircraft efficiency , a key factor in reducing emissions and fuel burn. When purchasing planes, airlines are faced with the option of which engines to put on their planes.

So, what choices do airlines have for engines? That depends on your plane and aircraft type. Take the A380 for instance. When purchasing the aircraft, airlin...

Moody's revises outlook on global airline industry to positive

By PTI | 19 Jan, 2015  On the back of steep fall in the crude prices, international rating agency Moody's has changed its outlook of the global airline industry to "positive" from stable.  It projected adjusted operating profit margins for the industry at 12-14 per cent for 2015 and 11.5-13.5 per cent for 2016, significantly up from its estimate of 8.5-9.5 per cent for 2014.   While American carriers will continue to have the largest increase in profit, in Asia the capacity growth will outstrip the demand growth, it said.  Moody's vice-president and senior credit officer Jonathan Root said in the report that Asian airlines are unlikely to add extra capacity in 2015, even with lower fuel prices.  Read more at: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/45942691.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst
