LUFTHANSA

Brussels Airlines Cargo (BAC) is going to announce new freight pricing, which will be a comibination of net price and surcharges. The new pricing structure will be applicable from October 2015. According to a report, two sister companies named Swiss World Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo are also following the similar price structure for their air freight services.
Brussels Airlines Cargo expects that the changed price structure would fulfill the demand in the market, growing their transparency. According to Brussels Airlines, they want to include the only single freight surcharge which is consolidated. They are not interested in adding any other surcharges on freight rates.

This strategy will increase traffic for the freight services and on the other side, it will completely decrease the losses. After the announcement of the increase in freight prices two sister companies, Swiss World Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo also announced that they are going to set new pricing structure for the coming winter season.

According to BAC the new price is unique in the market and new price structure with single surcharge will continue in future without addition of any other surcharges. BAC stated that in new pricing structure only one surcharge will be included, mainly on the air freight. The only two elements in the price structure of Brussels Airlines Cargo are fixed price of freight and air freight surcharge.

The single surcharge in the new price structure will replace all other surcharges. According to a source the single surcharge air freight surcharge (ASC) consists of few other charges like airport taxes, security and fuel cost etc. All these are external surcharges beyond the control of Brussels Airlines.
BAC remarked that all these external expenses may fluctuate according to the conditions. Due to these fluctuations, the air freight charges may also fluctuate from time to time. According to BAC that the new price structure will not dishearten the customers. Compared to old pricing structure, the new price is adjusted according to the unbiased effect on prices.
The new price structure which was announced by the Lufthansa Group for freight services is very much different from the rate model which was announced by Emirates and also different as compared to other rate models offered by IAG and Qatar Airways. It is yet to be seen if the new price structure announced by Brussels Airlines Cargo is successful or not.

Gatwick airport, London gave a serious reply on the future of the aviation department of the UK to the Airports Commission report which issued last month. In this report, it claimed that the passenger and cargo scheme of its site, which is 45km in the south of the capital and greater to that of Heathrow airport.

Sir Howard Davies, who chaired the commission said that the third north-west runway at Heathrow would provide more significant economic and strategic profit than any other options fortifying connectivity for passengers and air cargo users and increasing the economic output of the UK.

The other two schemes studied by the commission, set up by the government of the UK in 2012, were an extension of the current northern runway at Heathrow and a second runway at Gatwick. In 52 page manuscript which issued this week, Gatwick airport complaints of basic mistakes in the Davies discoveries.

Its own reports, including A Second Runway for Gatwick, Airports Commission Final Report and Areas of Concern negates the statements of Davies about Gatwick expansion would emphasis on short haul routes while Heathrow would use the extra capacity to boost new long haul contacts.

Both Heathrow and Gatwick realize that long haul services are very important and the key of cooperative freight demand. The report issued by Gatwick airport describes that the commission has put a great deal on the forecast freight volumes of the three schemes. But a question arises here that will Heathrow airport deliver fruitful benefits to freight operators?

The Davies report, sponsored by organizations including the Confederation of British Industry and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, admits that aviation supports protect the place of UK-based manufacturers in difficult worldwide supply chains.

It records that Heathrow airport controls the UK air freight market, it manages approximately 75 percent of the £140bn worth of the things passed through UK airports in 2014. The commission said that by 2030, pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries are expected to be among the top five export markets of UK because their products are transferred by air.

Gatwick declares that with a second runway it could again produce to competition Heathrow in air freight terms, which give further capacity, a large long-haul component and a condition which more accurate traffic forecasts would reveal. Stewart Wingate claims Heathrow could not provide a third runway in his lifetime and said that Gatwick is much static in the competition. If the government adopts the Davies judgments, Gatwick claims it will take the matter to the court.
