Air France-KLM, IAG, Lufthansa LCC strategies: denial, submission, retreat, now counter-attack

Over 20 years, the responses of Europe’s big three legacy groups to the short/medium haul LCC revolution have all been through phases of denial, submission, retreat, and counter-attack. Now all three now have a more clearly defined LCC strategy than in the past.

CASK: Europe’s Full Service Airlines have the world’s highest costs, US airlines the lowest

In the Americas there is a narrower CASK gap between FSCs and LCCs than elsewhere. This has created an opening for the development of the region’s ultra-LCCs, particularly in the US. Europe is, on average, home to the highest cost FSCs in the world, in spite of some cost-efficient FSCs that are close to LCC territory.


DONALD TRUMP’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD’S AVIATION SYSTEM

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been marked by a combination of populism, nationalism, protectionism, racism – notably against Mexicans - and anti-Muslim rhetoric. There have also been less attractive elements of his campaign.

CAPA ANALYSIS

After the White Paper. Time for the US major airlines and Gulf carriers to kiss and make up

Although US global network airlines American and Delta have recently revived rhetoric in the Big 3 versus the Gulf 3 imbroglio that permeated industry discourse throughout 2015, the efforts by American, Delta and United to stymie growth by Emirates, Etihad and Qatar have been anything but successful.


Iran, with an educated populace of 80 million, becomes a potentially major aviation force

Following the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions against Iran in Jan-2016 a potentially significant global aviation market was once again reopened to the world, after almost four decades of isolation. Iran has huge pent-up demand and potential after almost 40 years of isolation from the international community.
