Headwinds, horizons and hope—competing on a smarter planet.
HEADWINDS
There are significant business environment factors and trends
that will likely change the airline industry forever.
HORIZONS
There are now, and will continue to be, growing opportunities to capture and
transform data and to use the resulting information in new and powerful ways.
HOPE
For airlines, those horizons can be leveraged to create new strategies,
capabilities and insights to drive competitiveness and long-term viability.

Strong headwinds are setting global airline industry profitability back.
AT THE TOP LINE
Current predictions are for 2009 passenger revenues to be off by nearly 16%, with cargo
revenues off nearly 18%. By midyear, average international ticket prices had fallen 19% YTY,
while 21% fewer premium passengers were flying.
AT THE COST LINE
While some have benefited positively from hedging positions, fuel price increases of 56% from
their YTD low, airline service costs growth to over US$54B worldwide, imbalances in capacity
and pending environmental regulation all promise even more cost line concerns.
AT THE BOTTOM LINE
Average yields have cratered by over -12% for passengers and -15% for freight; and despite a
reduction in capacity, ever-growing break-even load factors are not being met. The industry
has already lost US$6B (1st half estimate) and is positioned to nearly double that by year-end.

Top-line performance is also being bolstered by the gradual return of
business and premium travel categories.
Globally, companies that cut back on business travel are spending once again:
In 2009, 93% reported a reduction in their companies’ travel spending (ACTE Survey, March 2009)
1 in 3 managers expect spending to increase in the next 12 months (AirPlus Business Travel Index, August, 2010)
69% reported reductions in overall travel budget (HBR Survey, July 2009)
6.2% increase in global business travel spending expected in 2010 (NBTA Foundation , August 2010)
And companies are also spending more on premium class air travel:
65% of travel managers stated that they had made changes to their existing travel policy to reflect specific
spending limitations (ACTE Survey, March 2009)
10% of business travelers fly Business Class, compared to 8% in 2009 (AirPlus Business Travel Index , August 2010)
47% reported use of less expensive class of travel (HBR Survey, July 2009)
33% of travel managers expect an increase in spending in 2010 (AirPlus Business Travel Index , August 2010)
But not all markets are expected to enjoy uniformly robust corporate travel recovery:
Japanese manufacturing sector continued to slow in 2H10, putting downward pressure on corporate travel
Industrial growth in India slowed to in June to just 7.1% which may dampen business travel demand
Despite output growth from several countries in Western Europe, uncertainty about the speed and shape
of the economic recovery in the rest of Europe will depress demand, including demand for business travel

6. Let’s build a smarter planet: Airlines
One important threat to business travel is the emergence of virtual
alternatives to physical travel, such as telepresence.
Surveys show the current economic environment is driving higher use:
60% of respondents had cut travel through remote conferencing use (BTN Survey, July 2009)
79% reported greater use of conference calls, WebEx, and telepresence (ACTE Survey, June 2009)
44% surveyed believed that video conferencing would increase in use, and 71% felt that telepresence
was more time-efficient than face-to-face meetings (HBR Survey, July 2009)
And some analysts are spelling out the direct impact to airlines:
Gartner: telepresence will replace 2.1 million airline seats per year by 2012 (Gartner, Feb 2009)
Haddock Research: 35% – 40% of airline seats for American business travel are threatened
by telepresence (Haddock Research & Branding, May 2009)
And business travel suppliers are getting on board!
American Express Corporate Travel’s Virtual Meetings eXpert
―Based upon criteria such as price, duration of trip, purpose, environmental impact and
more, the solution will alert travelers at the time of booking on available telepresence
and high-end virtual meeting options, and guides them through scenarios that
determine if it makes sense to take the trip virtually.‖

Air travel is also under threat from high-speed rail which is perceived
as more convenient, greener and competitively priced.
