Re: VLM (SHS Antwerp Aviation) news 2018

Total June figures for CGN - RLG - CGN are in average 20 PAX per flight. In general I would say, that his wasn't that bad, but when the flight ANR - CGN is pretty bad, the total route ANR - CGN - RLG - CGN - ANR is not profitable. So finally, no surprise that they stopped it.

Hope they have the chance to as I think they must have burnt a lot of money with all the routes starting and cutting, the relatively low flight rates in combination with the low load factors.

Re: VLM (SHS Antwerp Aviation) news 2018

The by far most successful route must be ANR - LCY I guess?

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

A forth Fokker will be based at FDH. In the last weeks there were couple of cancellation of flights due to technical problems. With the forth Fokker this problem should be solved. As well the winter schedule for FDH is available for booking. http://www.airliners.de/vlm-flughafen-friedrichshafen/38782

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

Probably the costs for the WAT route was too expensive, because the LF wasn't that bad. Now two bases (ANR, FDH) are left,in April they had two more with WAT and RTM. So Costs are probably much lower than couple of months ago. Nevertheless I think they have to improve especially the routes from ANR,...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

People's Viennaline will open a route to Cologne-Bonn, so probably it will have an effect on the Dusseldorf route. But as they have also "Business fares"the effect won't be that bad I guess.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

Wouldn't be good at all. Can't imagine that they cut all routs from Antwerp, that would be a shame. At least the Hamburg route is doing better or not? Maybe the brand VLM was getting more popular in the last weeks as there were more flights in Antwerp due to the close of Zaventem. On the other hand ...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

I'm surprised that they don't mention their bases in Waterford and Friedrichshafen, but therefor Berlin and Southampton.
Hopefully they find new sucessfull routes from their home base in Antwerp.

Interesting to know. Thanks.

Is there a possibility (i.e. a website) where you can have a look at the financial statement of VLM?

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

The other questions is which I don't know: Did they burn the money (of the sold machines) in the daily business of2016 or did they pay debts/liabilities or whatever of 2015 or which was caused in 2015.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

I think what VLM is doing in 2016 isn't bad, the problem is what they have done in 2015. In 2016 they are cancelling the routes which are not working well and where you make loss on every flight (with LF less than 30%, sometimes even less than 20%). As well the decision that they don't lease the Suk...
