Global Airlines Industry – Alla Serebrova Delta Airlines - Eugene Southwest Airlines - Shaun British Airways - Alex
Presentation Agenda • Industry Characteristics • Current State • Market Outlook • Companies in focus: • Delta Airlines • Southwest • British Airways • YIELD: Revenues divided by revenue passenger-kilometers; it represents an aggregate of all the airfare and airline charges and is measured on a per-kilometer basis.
Glossary • ASK: The number of seats available for the transportation of revenue passengers multiplied by the number of kilometers these seats are flown. • RPK: One-fare paying passenger transported one km. RPK is computed by multiplying the number of revenue passengers by the km they fly. • PASSENEGR LOAD FACTOR(%): Percentage of seating capacity which is actually sold and utilized. RPK divided by ASK • UNIT COST:The average operating cost incurred per ATK • YIELD: Passenger revenues divided by revenue passenger-kilometers. PR per RPK. It represents an aggregate of all the airfare and airline charges and is measured on a per-kilometer basis. • BREAK-EVEN LOAD FACTOR: The LF at which operating revenues cover operating costs. Unit Cost divided by Yield.
Industry Characteristics • Highly Concentrated Market Dominated by North America (41%) • Half of the World’s Fleet is operated by just 17 airlines (of 650) • Half of all ASK are focused on the top 6% of routes (33 airports) • The Intra-North American Zone Represents 1/3 of the Total • Intra-Asia traffic (10,6%) • Intra-Europe traffic (8,5%) • Europe-Asia travels (7,4%) • Transpacific flights (6,6%) • North Atlantic traffic (11,6%) • The International Traffic accounts for 57% of total PK Source: Airlines Gate
Airline Industry is Maturing Worldwide RPK Growth Rates are Declining
Industry Characteristics • Capital Intensive • High Cash Flow • Labor Intensive • Highly Unionized • Thin Profit Margins • Cyclical/Seasonal • Travel agencies Source: Rolls-Royce
Aircraft Replacement • Profitability Triggers New Orders • Younger fleet - higher profits

Not an Industry Free of Risk • Volatility • Geopolitical Instability • Oil disruption fears
Jet fuel prices remain high • Historically airline stocks have tended to trade in the same direction as fuel prices • Exceptions: supply shocks or wars • Refining margins at $11.9/ bbl
Deregulation and its effects • The US experience - 1978 • International traffic - bilateral agreements • Hub and spoke networks development • Europe (1993) and Asia are still lagging behind • State aid distortion • Government indifference • Airport constraints • Restriction of slot sales • Logical outcomes of deregulation: • Regional LCC: • Alliances
The Basic Business Model of the Network Carriers is Broken • LCC have 30% cost advantage • Non-unionized workforce • Better business practices: • Simple point to point • Higher utilization, shorter turns, no waiting at hubs, red-eyes • No transfers • Tickets - internet • Charge for food and drink
Even Constrained to the American Landscape, LCC’s ≠ Point-to-Point • Look at the successful LCCs which operate a core, old-line, network hub operation • Air Tran at ATL • Frontier at DEN
