Nalanji Airways inc. reveals its new livery

Following the successful launch of its new logo, Nalanji Airways, today revealed its new livery and identity. The livery rides on the simplicity and elegance of the logo, but also with a splash of red (the ribbon around the fuselage), as well as the Union Jack (from Nalanji's State Flag) on the plane, further emphasizing the airline's home base's heritage, as a former British colony. The red ribbon swirling, and embracing the fuselage of the aircraft symbolises, our commitment to continued warm and caring service to our customers around the world, while also coming together to form a huge letter "N", symbolising the world renowned and famous "Big N"-Nalanji Airways inc.

The livery as seen on our future Boeing 787:

Nalanji Airways inc. unveils new logo

The new logo of Nalanji Airways, launched today at a press conference at Ritz Carlton, Nalanji, represents the company's dynamism and new outlook for the next decade and beyond, as it seeks to further position itself as a global player in the world market. The new logo is a welcome refreshing and energetic change in the airline's marketing schemes. It injects new life and excitement in the future of NAL and also, heralding a new age in air travel experince for its customers.

Nalanji Airways to cut capacity by some 8%; considers more cost-cutting measures

NALANJI: Nalanji Airways (NAL) plans to further cut capacity and is in talks with its staff and unions on various cost-cutting measures as the global economic downturn continues to hit travel and cargo demand.

NAL said in a statement released Monday it will reduce capacity by 8 per cent in the new financial year beginning April 1, starting with some flights to the USA.

This is in addition to a two per cent cut announced by the airline last month.

NAL said it has taken this decision after seeing advance bookings slide.

The airline also said it is discussing with unions the possibility of shorter work months and unpaid leave, as well as early retirement and possible pay cuts.

In the course of the year, 15 aircraft will be decommissioned from NAL's operating fleet.

After April 25, NAL will suspend its thrice-weekly service between Nalanji and Houston. Customers affected by the change will be offered refunds.

NAL will continue to serve Houston through its existing schedule of 42 weekly flights from Nalanji through the US via San Francisco, Los Angeles, as well as Newark and JFK airports in New York.

From these gateway locations, passengers can fly to Houston through NAL's Star Alliance partner airlines.

The last time Nalanji Airways was badly hit by slowing demand was during the SARS outbreak in 2003.

Then, the airline cut capacity by some 13.6 per cent.

Besides a hiring freeze and releasing some 206 of its trainees to become cabin crew, some 6,600 cabin crew were asked to take unpaid leave, while 414 personnel were eventually retrenched in June that same year.

The affected staff comprised some 1.5 per cent of the NAL Group's staff strength in Nalanji.

And experts said it will be hard for NAL to avoid cutting jobs, in the face of what is expected to be a prolonged downturn.

An aviation analyst at Standard & Poor's, Shukor Yusof, said: "You will have to anticipate if this is going to be short term, near term or longer term. Eventually, I imagine it will be inevitable for jobs to be lost, because from where we see it, the crisis is just unfolding, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better."

Vice-president of public affairs at NAL, Steve Gorand, said: "The measures that we put in place are very similar to what we did with SARS. Retrenchments will be the last resort. There will be certain other measures that we will put in place to contain costs.

“That said, as we go forward, if the demand position continues to deteriorate, then obviously those measures are going to kick in for longer, and it may mean that some retrenchments become a reality, but we are in cooperation with our unions to avoid that."

When contacted, unions said that talks on retrenchments are still premature.

In fact, during an hour-long meeting, NAL's three unions, namely Nalanji Airways Staff Union, Airline Pilots Association and Air Transport Executive Staff Union, said they were given a briefing on the various cost-cutting measures.

These include getting staff to accelerate clearance of leave entitlement, go on shorter work weeks, voluntary no pay leave or even voluntary retirement.

Responding to queries from Channel NewsAsia, the president of Nalanji Airways' Staff Union Alan Tan said the meeting between airline and unions was cordial.

President of the Airline Pilots' Association (ALPA-S) P James said although the capacity cuts mean fewer flights and will impact the overall take-home pay of pilots and cabin crew, it is a prudent move in these tough times.

He said the current workload would be adjusted and spread evenly among all staff.

Channel NewsAsia also understands that if NAL loses about S$50 million in the current financial year, the company might resort to cutting some 2.5 per cent of each staff's basic salary.

Should that occur, management would likely take the lead in pay cuts.

NAL is also understood to have implemented a hiring freeze for now.

Nalanji Airways inc. announced a slide in profit by 30% for fiscal year 2008, but still managing a surplus profit of $N 988 million.

Hello eervyone! long time no see! haha so yea yesterday, was sheng yung's birthday party, and instead of going home after BB. i decided to stay in sch till evening then go tho his party, coz it would have been a waste of time travelling twice. Hence, i sat in for a TA EXCO meeting :D haha so retarded man. Well after that, i did alot of things, hmm like i remember being a FEDEX service man with clement, talking to matthew lee haha and also doing some work here and there.

At around 6, i headed for the bus stop for wait for 74. and lo and behold i met shaun and mark lim (they had to saty back for band). it was rather funny, because shaun came up to me and asked me (he didnt know i was going for the party) how to get to sheng yung's house. So i told him everything to the last detail from the first bus to the next bus stop and the next bus right down to the unit number. And then he said "oh ok thanks." and so i stared at him, waiting for that point of enlightenment. After which, he paused, and said "oh you're going to sheng yung's party 2!?" haha!

ok once we reached, i remember we got lost in his huge condo lol (its HUGE, so huge tht theres a shopping mall inside it lol jus for the residents). Right after we arrived a lot more people started cominng in. sheng yung's house is rather cool coz theres like 2 levels only in the front of the house, a single level in the middle, and a balcony at the end (which has 2 levels). ok lol this sounds funny and i dun even know how it works out, but that was how it was lol.

then, dinner was served and it was barbecue. so we talked and ate and made merry. well, the only thing i remember out of all the crap we were talking about i remember most well (i think all of us do), Stan's thousand and one lame jokes (im not kidding it was so many of them- mainly puns) lol.

After dinner we watched an old scottish movie (from which the popular song came from): "chariots of fire", which has a very intesresting true story behind it, but was rather dry and boring. So, after a while i remember we were just hanging around talking and eating a second round (yum! lol) with the officers and then Charles (dun hv to say sir anymore rite? XD) came (Late!) haha.

We wanted to go down and dunk yung in his pool, but in the end we ended up singing his birthday song and cutting his cake. After this, about half of us left (including me), the rest were left either playing Risk (mainly yung, lui and the officers) or at the com.

so yea tht was about it all. kk tmr gt IHS exam! haha wish me luck!

cya guys!
