汉莎私人飞机公司(Lufthansa Private Jet)是进入私人航空领域的航空公司中最新的放弃者。在经历了15年的起起伏伏后,该部门于今年4月关闭。


过去10年,该公司一直使用NetJets来完成其出售的私人航空服务。它曾一度运营着一支轻型和中型公务机机队。

最初的愿景是,将抵达法兰克福和慕尼黑枢纽的优质客户,与欧洲二线城市连接起来。

然而,该航空公司表示,70%的客户乘坐的是点对点航班。

Lufthansa Private Jet is the most recent casualty of airlines trying to enter the world of private aviation.  The division was shuttered in April after 15 years of starts and stops.  For the last decade, it had been using NetJets to fulfill the private flights it sold.  At one point, it operated a fleet of light and midsize jets.  The original vision was to connect its premium customers arriving at its Frankfurt and Munich hubs to secondary cities in Europe.  However, the airline said 70% of customers were flying point-to-point.

 

汉莎航空公司为何终止其私人飞机服务?“从经济上讲,这个领域太小了。这对于汉莎航空来说是个小众市场,”发言人表示。

Why did Lufthansa end its private jet service?  “Economically, the segment was too small.  It was a niche for Lufthansa,” says a spokesperson.


有多少航司曾放弃私人航空服务?


这家德国旗舰航空公司并不是唯一一家试图进入私人飞机领域,然后放弃的航空公司。

However, the German flag carrier is hardly alone when it comes to airlines that have tried to enter the private jet segment and then stepped away.


达美航空




2019年,达美航空公司(Delta Air Lines)同意将达美公务机出售给Wheels Up,入股这家私人飞机供应商。这标志着这家总部位于亚特兰大的航空公司20年来试图在私人航空领域取得成功,该公司在收购地区支线航空公司Comair时继承了私人航空业务。

在放弃之前,达美航空公司曾试图通过2010年收购塞格雷夫航空(Segrave Aviation)来扩大规模。


与汉莎不同,众所周知的民主党专注于提供独立的私人航空服务,包括为机主托管飞机,并销售按需包机和飞机卡。

公司还与马航建立了联系。例如,在两者之间连接的客户是乘坐保时捷汽车往返于不同的终端。还允许SkyMiles常客计划的成员用里程兑换私人公务航班。


不过,达美航空首席执行官巴斯蒂安(Ed Bastian)说,民主党规模太小,无法获得应有的关注。在新冠疫情流行之前,达美航空的年收入为470亿美元,而私人飞机部门的销售额仅约为2亿美元。 

In 2019 Delta Air Lines agreed to sell Delta Private Jets to Wheels Up, taking a stake in the private jet provider.  It marked two decades by the Atlanta-based airline trying to make a go of it in the world of private aviation, a business it inherited when it bought regional feeder Comair.

Before throwing in the towel, the Atlanta-based carrier sought to gain scale via a 2010 acquisition of Segrave Aviation.

Unlike Lufthansa, DPJ, as it was known, focused on providing stand-alone private aviation services, including managing jets for owners, and selling on-demand charter and jet cards. 

It also built links with the airline.  For example, customers connecting between the two were shuttled to and from the different terminals in Porsche autos.  It also allowed members of its SkyMiles frequent flyer program to redeem miles for private flights.

Still, Delta Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said DPJ was just too small to get the attention it needed.  Prior to the pandemic, Delta generated $47 billion in annual revenues, while the private jet unit was thought to have around $200 million in sales.


捷蓝航空




捷蓝航空还涉足私人航空领域。卡塔尔航空一起,该公司投资了JSX和JetSuite,尽管后者停飞了其机队,并申请破产,因为私人航空在新冠疫情大流行的初期阶段陷入停滞。

JetBlue has also played footsie with private aviation.  Along with Qatar Airways, it invested in JSX and JetSuite, although the latter grounded its fleet and filed for bankruptcy as private flights ground to a halt during the early stages of the pandemic.


法国航空




法航与Wijet有合作关系,直到这家欧洲轻型飞机运营商在2020年初破产,该合作关系才得以维持。

和汉莎私人飞机一样,它的目的是提供与干线航空公司的联系。在Wijet破产的时候,法航的一名发言人说,”运营并没有太多活力“。 

Air France had a partnership with Wijet, which survived until the European very light jet operator went into liquidation in early 2020. Like Lufthansa Private Jet, it was meant to offer connections with the mainline airline. At the time of Wijet’s demise, a spokesperson for Air France said there hadn’t been much activity.


英国航空




英国航空(British Airways)曾与德隆旗下的Citation Air有过短暂的合作,并宣布在伦敦提供私人飞机连动服务,但从未正式启动。

British Airways had a short-lived partnership with Textron’s Citation Air and announced, but never launched, a partnership to offer private jet connections in London.


美联航




2001年,美国联合航空公司(United Airlines)宣布了Avolar,并将其定位为商务航空领域的重要参与者。

"9-11恐怖袭击"后导致这家主要航空公司裁员,管理层为了向工会让步,在其首飞之前解散了这家初创公司。

United Airlines in 2001 announced Avolar, which it positioned as a significant player in the business aviation segment. After the 9-11 terrorist attacks led to layoffs at the main airline, management canned the start-up before its first flight in a concession to its unions.

不过,一些航空公司已经找到了提供私人飞机飞行的成功模式。中东和亚洲的几家航空公司仍在运营私人飞机。


目前,卡塔尔航空(Qatar Airways)的 Qatar Executive 部门是全球最大的湾流(Gulfstream) G650ER超远途公务机运营商。  

Still, some airlines have found successful models for providing private jet flights. Several airlines in the Middle East and Asia continue to operate private jets. Qatar Airways’ Qatar Executive unit is now the largest operator in the world of the ultra-long-haul Gulfstream G650ER.
