We’ve announced a major change in PLAY’s strategy, focusing more on strong leisure markets from Iceland and reducing our emphasis on connecting passengers between North America and Europe. This shift comes after disappointing yields on our transatlantic routes, particularly in 2024, as the North American market evolves with longer-range narrowbody aircraft and increased supply. Our point-to-point routes, mainly between Iceland and Southern Europe, have been profitable and popular, so we are reducing capacity on our North Atlantic routes through 2025. Around mid year 2025 we will see these changes come into action where we will decrease capacity in our North Ameirca destinations and put more emphasis on leisure destinations in Southern Europe. PLAY will also begin operating part of its fleet outside of Iceland, starting with GlobalX in Miami this November. We’ve applied for a Maltese AOC, with plans to base aircraft in Tenerife by spring 2025. Following these changes, we expect to operate 6-7 aircraft under our Icelandic AOC and 3-4 under the Maltese AOC. PLAY’s financial position remains stable, but our 2024 EBIT is expected to be lower than last year due to greater-than-expected transatlantic capacity this summer. We will share more details in our Q3 presentation on Thursday, October 24, at 4 p.m. in Sykursalur, Gróska. You can read more here about this change:

An interesting change in transatlantic market dynamics: faced with low profitability resulting from competitors’ 2024 capacity growth, PLAY airlines has decided to reduce its via-Iceland transatlantic connecting business and focus more on European leisure flying, including setting up a Maltese AOC to enable intra-EU flying.

🙌 Today, we are excited to announce the acquisition of Travel Technology Interactive, a leading Passenger Service System (PSS) company. This is a major entrepreneurial milestone for us and a crucial step toward our vision of revolutionizing airline operations👇 When we started CitizenPlane with Alexis Ohayon Charles Rajjou and Côme Courteault, our focus was on filling the 20% of plane seats that go unsold every year. We quickly realized that airline distribution was not working well, burdened by outdated legacy software. Our first step was to simplify the distribution process, making it easier for organizations to sell their unsold tickets online. As we continued to grow, we recognized that airlines don’t just need better distribution, they need modern software solutions for all their operations, from booking to flying their planes, to effectively meet the challenges of today’s market. Acquiring TTI is a key move in executing this vision. TTI PSS technology will serve as the backbone of our platform, enabling us to provide airlines with the modern tools they need to drive more revenue, enhance profitability, and deliver a better client experience. This acquisition represents a significant entrepreneurial leap, involving complex challenges like valuation, investment structuring, delisting a listed company and welcoming two new associate Grégoire Echalier and Arnaud Peyroche 👋 But most importantly, it’s about our commitment to innovation and to the nearly 120 team members who work tirelessly to make travel more accessible and efficient. We are excited about the opportunities this creates for our airline partners. Together, we can reshape the future of air travel, making it not only more efficient but also more responsive to the needs of travelers. We’re just getting started, and the future looks promising 🛫

With consumer habits shifting and the demand for premium and luxury travel growing rapidly the airline industry is struggling to keep up. This is where Unum Aircraft Seating, our new portfolio company, has entered the market to provide a much-needed boost in innovation and capacity for the business class seating sector through its smart, adaptable, and reliable design. Cracking #Sustainability is core to the future of the airline industry, but something that is integral to Unum’s seating design.  Airline seats constitute 10% of an aircraft’s operating weight, with the average business class seat weighing in at 110kg, far more than the passenger that sits in it. Unum’s seats cut that number by 30%, lowering the industry’s fuel costs and emissions, whilst also improving on comfort with leading edge contemporary design. Led by Chris Brady, we’re excited to have invested in this exceptional team following a period of sustained #growth for the business. We look forward to seeing Unum seats appearing across all leading airlines in the coming years. Check out the full piece in Tech.eu here: https://lnkd.in/ez6txExq  #VC #Growth #Innovation 

As one of Australia’s fastest growing developers of luxury over-50s lifestyle resorts, GemLife recognised they needed to overhaul their existing fleet operations to help prepare for scale. GemLife’s Financial Controller, Kishan Ramjeet said, “Management of the light commercial fleet was identified as a part of the business where we could become more efficient. We knew what improvements could be made, but needed a system to centralise the data, help streamline operations and ensure proper workflow between teams and the drivers and also set up GPS in vehicles.” Their fleet operations are now streamlined with a centralised system for all their fleet needs. Many departments at GemLife are now using the system daily, including finance, fleet and administration teams. Read more here – https://lnkd.in/gHei-e_h #GemLife #CaseStudy #FleetManagement #LBMFleet
