The epidemic has caused the global aviation industry to face difficulties, and various airlines have successively carried out self-help through various means. This week,Japan’s largest airline “All Nippon Airways” used the online platform to auction second-hand aircraft-related items for the first time to increase liquidity.. What are the items that ANA is auctioning online this time? Does this measure help to improve business difficulties?
At Tokyo International Airport, which is commonly referred to as Haneda Airport, through the wire fence, the reporter saw the planes of various airlines on the tarmac. Among them, the blue tail sprayed with the word ANA is an All Nippon Airways passenger plane.
Today, Japan’s aviation fans have something of concern-All Nippon Airways is auctioning two items online:A set of first-class seats for display and a porthole of an actually used aircraft。
This auction has aroused great attention. Among them, first-class seats start at approximately RMB 455 including tax.After more than 350 bids, it has now exceeded RMB 230,000, an increase of more than 500 times。
Another lot, the starting price of aircraft portholes is about 45 yuan, and it has now risen to more than 29,000 yuan, an increase of more than 600 times. The final transaction price will be announced at the end of the auction tonight.
All Nippon Airways said that this is the company’s first auction on an online platform. Japan’s aviation industry has been severely affected by the epidemic. Selling some assets and increasing liquidity has become one of the airlines’ self-rescue measures. All Nippon Airways has previously tried to sell second-hand items such as dining carts used on airplanes on the e-commerce platform. Starting this month, it has expanded to online auctions, and will be held every month in the future.
But for a large airline, the income from selling second-hand items to aviation fans is obviously a drop in the bucket.The focus of the asset sale plan is to sell aircraft. After the outbreak, All Nippon Airways reduced 28 aircraft in addition to its original decommissioning plan, especially the sale of large passenger aircraft most severely affected by the epidemic. However, due to the predicament of the global aviation industry, the market price of second-hand large aircraft has also fallen sharply under the epidemic. In this case, the income of airlines that sell passenger aircraft will be greatly reduced.
