ʻO ka pale ʻana o JAL e pale aku ana i ko Oneworld ola ʻana

HONG KONG - Ke hoʻomaka nei kahi huki kaua no ka mea hoʻokele hakakā ʻo Japan Airlines Corp. ma waena o nā kuikahi Oneworld a me SkyTeam, ka neʻe hou loa i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā mokulele ma hope o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ke kuleana o Air China Ltd ma Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma waena o British Airways PLC A. ʻO Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA o Sepania.

Akā ʻo Oneworld - ʻo ka liʻiliʻi loa o nā hui mokulele honua ʻekolu - ʻike ʻia i loko o kahi kūlana nalowale.

ʻO ka mālama ʻana iā Japan Airlines (JAL) ma luna o ka moku e pilikia ana i ka waihona koena o AMR Corp. (AMR) American Airlines, ka lālā nui loa o Oneworld ma ka waiwai o ka ʻoihana, inā loaʻa ia i kahi kuleana kaulike ma JAL.

ʻO ka lilo ʻana o JAL e mālama i nā kālā o ʻAmelika, akā hiki ke lilo i ka lua o ka loaʻa kālā nui loa o Oneworld a waiho i kahi lua nui i ka uhi ʻana o Oneworld's Asia – ʻo ka ʻāina ulu wikiwiki loa no ka huakaʻi ea.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, me $ 2.8 biliona kālā a me nā hoʻopukapuka pōkole ma ka lima e like me ka hopena o Iune 2009 hiki i ʻAmelika ke pony i ka Y30-50 billion JAL i manaʻo ʻia e panhandling no.

Akā ʻoi aku ka hewa o ke kūlana solvency lōʻihi o ka American Airlines ma mua o JAL. ʻO ka nui o ka aie i ka huina kālā ma ʻAmelika he 203% a me 142% ma ka pae makua AMR Corp., ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa no nā mea lawe nui e hana ana ma lalo o ka hae Oneworld. A ʻaʻole ʻo ʻAmelika ka nui o ka waihona kālā: ua hoʻihoʻi ʻo ia i kāna revolver holoʻokoʻa $ 255 miliona i ka mahina ʻo Kepakemapa 2008 a puhi ʻia ma o $ 2.2 biliona waiwai o ke kālā a me nā hoʻopukapuka pōkole ma kāna waihona i nā mahina he 12 i hala.

Ma Delta Air Lines Inc., ʻo ka mea hoʻopukapuka ʻē aʻe o JAL, ʻo ka nui o ka aie i ka huina kālā, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa ma 94%. Loaʻa iā Delta he $ 4.9 biliona kālā a me nā hoʻopukapuka pōkole e paʻi i ka hopena o Iune, he $ 500 miliona revolver (ʻoiai ma muli o ke kūkākūkā hou ʻana i kekahi manawa ma 2010), a ʻaʻohe hoʻopaʻa kālā hoʻopaʻa paʻa a hiki i 2012.

Inā hoʻokomo ka hoa SkyTeam ʻo Air France-KLM me kahi makana hui a laila e uku hou ʻia ke kaumaha o Delta.

Ma muli o nā kūlana, makemake paha ʻo ʻAmelika ʻaʻole e ʻoki i $300-$500 miliona ma JAL. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka pilikia he Y50 biliona hoʻokomo i nā kumukūʻai mākeke o kēia manawa e hāʻawi iā Delta he 11.2% stake ma ka mokulele Iapana a hoʻohuli i nā wili ma luna e lele moku a hui pū me Skyteam.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia kahi lole SkyTeam e lawe ana i kahi stake JAL mai ka noho ʻana i kahi hoʻomoana ʻo Oneworld. Ua hilahila wale ʻo Air China i ka 30% o Cathay, akā he lālā ia o Star Alliance aʻo Cathay e noho pū me Oneworld.

Akā ʻo ka poʻe ʻoihana ʻo Tokyo e ʻōlelo nei e pili ana i ka naʻauao o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i Delta mai ʻAukake a ua hui pū ʻia e nā poʻe kālai'āina. Hāʻawi ʻia i ke kūlana quasi-public o ka mea lawe i hiki ke hoʻopilikia i waena o Oneworlders.

ʻO kahi haʻalele ʻana e JAL, i hui pū me Oneworld i ʻApelila 2007, e hoʻopau i ka hui pū ʻana o kāna mea hoʻopukapuka kālā lua. Manaʻo ʻo Oneworld ʻaʻole i loaʻa ʻelua hapakolu o ka loaʻa kālā i loko o kona mau makahiki he ʻumi o ke ola ʻana inā ʻaʻole i noho ka hui (http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=16588).

Auwe, loaʻa iā Oneworld ka wāwae ʻoi loa ma ka Hikina Hikina. ʻO Bar JAL, hiki i ka ʻohana ke koi iā Cathay wale nō, a - ma kahi lōʻihi - ʻo Qantas Airways Ltd. ma ke ʻano he mea lawe ʻAsia.

Aia ʻo SkyTeam iā China Southern Airlines Co. a me Korean Air Co. (003490.SE), a me Northwest Airlines Corp., ka mea e pelu ʻia i Delta, ua hoʻohana mua i ka mokulele ʻo Narita o Tokyo ma ke ʻano he kikowaena de facto Asia.

Loaʻa iā Star Alliance ʻo Singapore Airlines Ltd., All Nippon Airways Co., Asiana Airlines Inc. (020560.KQ) a me Thai Airways International PCL ma waena o kekahi.

Hoʻokipa ʻia ʻo China Eastern Airlines Corp. e Oneworld a me SkyTeam.

Makemake paha nā pūʻulu ʻelua a me kā lākou mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e hoʻohuli i ka mea hoʻohiwahiwa no kekahi o nā mea lawe kaʻa ʻAsia i koe e noho ana ma waho o kahi hui mokulele honua.

Hāʻawi ʻia i nā mea e pili ana iā ʻAmelika a me Oneworld, pono lākou i ka nani a me ke kālā a lākou e loaʻa ai.
