Airlines worldwide:
The value they create and the challenges they face Brian Pearce Chief Economist www.iata.org/economics 29th April 2013
Key points (value created/challenges faced)
• Great value for consumers – slide 3-4
• $6.4 trillion of goods go by air cargo – slide 5
• Global supply chains (Dell, Apple) depend on air – slide 6
• Wider economy get large benefits – slides 7-8
• Massive expansion in demand ahead – slide 9
• Requires $4.5 trillion investment finance – slide 10
• But airline investors earn nothing – slides 11-12
• Ancillaries allow marginal profit, no more – slide 12
• Periods of profit short-lived – slide 13
• Market pressures for better profits worldwide – slide 14
• Not just problem of ‘mature, legacy’ airlines – slide 15
• Porter 5-forces ‘intense competition’ – slide 16
• Value chain profitability very unbalanced – slide 17
• Rising cost of infrastructure – slide 18
• Governments part of the problem – slide 19

The value proposition for air travel remains strong
It’s safer, it’s greener and it’s still a bargain

Aviation and tourism GVA as a % GDP
Aviation plays a major role in most economies Footprint of aviation and tourism measured by the sector’s GVA as % GDP
IATA Economics www.iata.org/economics 7
Source: Oxford Economics. http://www.benefitsofaviation.aero/Pages/default.aspx Note: GVA = Gross Value Added which is
mainly wages and profits. GDP = Gross Domestic Product
Size of aviation’s GDP footprint linked to development The size of aviation’s GDP footprint depends, among other factors, on the
country’s stage of economic development (GDP per capita)

Massive expansion ahead for emerging markets Expanding middle classes drive both travel and air cargo flows
Serving this demand will require a big expansion of investment

Profitability is very unbalanced across the value chain Airlines sit in the middle of the value chain making the least returns

The rising cost of airports and air navigation services Payments by airlines and passengers for infrastructure services

2007-2011 • Rise in infrastructure costs: 28% • Rise in passenger numbers: 17% • Rise in infrastructure costs per passenger: 9% • Rise in OECD CPI: 9.3% • Rise in airline revenues per passenger: 0.1%
Governments are part of the problem Porter’s 5-forces model identifies how government intervenes in the market

Threat of Substitute
Products or Services
Threat of New
Entrants
Rivalry Among
Existing CompetitorsBargaining Power
of Suppliers
• Subsidies and export-financing
for aircraft manufacturers
pushes capacity growth and
entry
• Labor market regulations give
power to unions and create
advantages for new entrants
• Privatization of airports and
ground handling services has
raised costs
• Government-mandated fees
(Over flight rights, air control,
security fees) raise costs
• “Fly national’ rules
for government
employees and
government
contractors distort
market choices
• Some legal entry barriers remain (domestic,
international) which limit consolidation
• Policies influence allocation of slots/gates
• Safety standards create limited barriers
• Government financing for substitutes (e.g., high-
speed trains)
• Inconvenience and delays created by safety
procedures and air traffic control for airline travel
• Competition rules limit consolidation
• Restrictions to FDI/M&A limit consolidation
• Government ownership leads to uneconomic
decisions, though privatization is increasing
• Public service requirements require serving
unprofitable markets
• Bankruptcy laws and bail-outs allow
uneconomic carriers to persist
• Environmental standards and taxes raise
costs
• Safety and air traffic control procedures
reduce service quality and create costs
• Safety guidelines and technical standards limit
potential for differentiation
Bargaining Power
of Channels
• Consumer protection
laws on pricing
transparency and
delays raise airline
costs
Bargaining Power
of Buyers
