If the license of Far Eastern Airlines is really cancelled, experts point out that these resources are the most valuable.
Far Eastern Airlines announced the suspension of operations without warning on the 12th. The next day, Chairman Zhang Gangwei changed the statement that it was a "mistake" and hoped to resume flying. Yesterday, he submitted a statement. Traffic The Ministry of Civil Aviation will review tomorrow and decide whether to issue fines and revoke the certificate. However, industry insiders are not happy to see the resumption of flights. Once the flights are grounded, its resources will definitely become the target of other airlines.
At present, Yuanhang has domestic routes including Taipei, Taichung , Kaohsiung , Penghu , Kinmen ; cross-strait routes include Taiyuan, Hefei, Haikou, Fuzhou, and Xiamen; international routes include Japan and South Korea. Niigata , Akita, Fukushima , Jeju in the region, and Da Nang in Southeast Asia.
Industry insiders say that once Yuanhang is grounded, it will have a greater impact on domestic routes, especially the Taipei-Kinmen route. However, this is also a relatively high-value route among the air rights obtained by Yuanhang, and it will be valuable to other airlines. of.
In addition, he said that there are only two shed factories at Songshan Airport . One is owned by Yuanhang, but is shared by CEFC and UNI. Once the flights are grounded, the value of the shed factory will increase, which will attract UNI or CEFC, or even Other aviation companies are fighting for it, and even the newly established Xingyu is possible, because aircraft maintenance requires shed factory space, and the existing shed factory in the Far East is a good location.
In this regard, Lu Yanliang, director of the Air Transport Management Department of Kainan University , said that Yuanhang’s shed factory in Songshan is indeed a good point. It is not only suitable for the general civil aviation transportation industry, but also has a demand for business jets in the general aviation industry, which will attract The industry strives for it, "For big bosses, they always hope that their aircraft will not be exposed to wind, sun, rain." In addition, the office area outside the shed factory also has its value. Once Yuanhang's existing office area is obtained, the relevant departments can take into account both internal and external considerations after moving in.
As for air traffic rights, Lu Yanliang said that there is value after the transportation capacity is cut off. Other operators will naturally decide whether to come in after evaluating operating and other costs. Looking at flights to Kinmen, Far East or CEFC can add flights to supplement capacity. As for whether Xingyu will be interested, it depends on the airline's layout and whether it is necessary to transfer to the overseas market.
Dai Zuomin, a professor at the Department of Transportation Management at National Cheng Kung University , said that Yuanhang’s shed factory in Songshan is very good and its traffic rights are also good. Yuanhang's current main domestic routes, Kinmen and Penghu, are considered good routes, and profits are stable. If there is a problem with Yuanhang's shadow transportation, other domestic airlines will hope to make up for the capacity.
Dai Zuomin said that the Kinmen route is one of the better routes. Its growth is related to the Little Three Links and is very close to Xiamen. When Yuanhang encountered problems for the first time, it first stopped the Taipei-Tainan route and moved it The flight to Kinmen clearly shows the importance it attaches to the Kinmen route.
After Yuanhang announced the suspension of operations without warning on the 12th, outsiders judged that the chance of resuming flights was low. Newspaper information photo
