In this episode, Archie Moyo starts off with the Simbisa Brands and Fastjet partnership that will improve the way you pay for your plane ticket. Meikles Delisting further We know the Meikles group has already announced that the plan to delist Tanganda tea this year but there's a possibility that they will be delisting further and possibly freeing the Hotel space. This is obviously a curious move after the sale of the flagship Meikles Hotel for USD $20M last year. Still...hands up if you are buying into Tanganda on day 1. Padenga Holdings Delisting Okay, a lot of delisting news this week, but this is good delisting news. How? Well, when you can wake up with RTGS shares now valued in USD it's a good type of delisting. We also get to celebrate the second ever listing on the VFEX. Also, I am really looking for people to have on the show who know more about the stock exchange than me so we can hear their thoughts, pick their brains and turn their comments into an EFT. No seriously, we just want to learn more, and quicker.

Low-cost carrier Fastjet Plc says it is suspending commercial flights in South Africa and Zimbabwe due to the coronavirus pandemic, jeopardizing negotiations to raise emergency funds through a disposal. In a statement on Friday, Fastjet said an investor group, including Solenta Aviation Holdings, and Zimbabwean investors have expressed interest. Fastjet, the first discount airline spanning sub-Saharan Africa, is in a precarious situation with just enough funds to survive until the end of August. The company's cash reserves at the end of June stood at $1 million. For now, Fastjet will operate about three repatriation flights per month from South Africa to Zimbabwe Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sun Country is largely missing out on the golden age that U.S. carriers have been basking in since 2015. In the past 12 months (ending with the second quarter, the most recent to be reported) all the U.S. carriers posted operating profit margins ranging from a healthy 9% to an excellent 16%—except for Sun Country, which delivered a distant 4% margin. Will Sun shine again? One airline enjoying the U.S. party is Frontier, which had a solid second quarter despite a 19% increase in operating costs. Talks of an Emirates-Etihad merger have heated up, according to a Bloomberg report. A merger might save Etihad, but who will save these other troubled airlines? South African Airways, Fastjet and Jet Airways are all facing dire straits. Lastly, JetBlue is adding a basic economy fare class. Will it be the last U.S. airline to do so?

In this episode, we spoke to fastjet CEO, Nico Bezuidenhout immediately after landing back in South Africa from London, where the interim results for 2018 were presented.  We talk about whether fastjet will pull out of Tanzania, whether the positive performance indicators in Mozambique and Zimbabwe will be enough to convince shareholders and investors to invest further and if low-cost aviation is still viable in Africa.

Frontier Airlines has had one of the most topsy-turvy histories of any airline, and its first-quarter earnings report was no exception. Sporting a wild animal on each tail, the airline has been soaring in recent years. In 2017, Frontier had the seventh best operating profit margin in the world. But something happened in Q1 2018, as its margin was cut in half. Meanwhile, Air France/KLM searches for a CEO. Also, how important is it that United Airlines—by a wide margin—gets more revenue from Asia than Delta and American? Norwegian continues to lose money and remains, for the moment, without a buyer to bail it out. But at least Norwegian isn’t Fastjet, which notched a negative 55% operating profit margin in 2017.

This episode was recorded live during the AviaDev Africa 2018 conference in Cape Town. The Managing Director of AviaDev, Jon Howell, interviewed Nico live on stage covering subjects from ticket distribution to fleet planning, traffic rights and everything in between.

In this episode, we talk about fastjet's previous challenges and path to success as the airline aims to bring affordable fares to Africa. Don't forget to subscribe

South African Airways finally published its fiscal year results for the 12 months ending March 2015. Yes, that’s 2015. And the result—a $442m net loss—wasn’t worth the wait. But with the Ebola scare and high oil prices now in the past, how is the airline doing today? The short answer: We’re not too encouraged. But its competitor Comair is doing pretty well. Kenya Airways seems to be on the mend. Unfortunately, Fastjet is skidding. Meanwhile in Asia, Singapore Airlines reported some ominous load factors and Cathay Pacific continues to endure severe revenue erosion. Not nearly as severe, but still surprisingly bad, is the revenue situation in the transatlantic market, where that cash cow is now wobbling. And in the U.S., two very successful carriers, Spirit and Frontier, face a surprisingly long list of challenges.

Scandinavia's SAS posted a pretty rough quarter despite huge tailwinds from its healthy home economy and cheap fuel. Fierce competition, labor concerns and operational problems all share the blame. Is SAS's long-haul strategy the answer? Or will it take a merger? Meanwhile in Africa, Fastjet is failing fast, posting an ugly 2015 full-year result. Clearly, it is tough to be a start-up airline on a continent rife with bureaucracy and protectionism. The turboprop carrier Flybe achieved a small annual profit, which was a big deal. Will the airline's resurgence continue? And for U.S. carriers Delta, American, United and JetBlue, unit revenue declines haven't stopped—there was hope they would've by now—and costs have stopped falling. That's a recipe for margin pressure.

Hear more about the increased activity from Middle Eastern carriers and some successes from local carriers such as Ethiopian Airways, using Addis Ababa as a hub.  The growth of African middle class consumers has also given birth to low cost carriers such as FastJet as well as three other players in the region.  Jon can be reached via jon.howell@benchevents.com.   This podcast is part of an official series supporting the Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF).
