FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

The airlines market will be analyzed taking airline companies as players. The key buyers will be taken as leisure and business travelers, the latter considered as business-to-business (b2b), and fuel suppliers, aircraft manufacturers, and skilled employees as the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 5: Forces driving competition in the global airlines industry, 2010
Source: Datamonitor
DATAMONITOR
Rivalry in the global airlines industry is strong, due in part to the sheer size of competitors and the difficulties in exiting the industry. Despite the large number of buyers, their power is strengthened by high price sensitivity as product differentiation tends to be minimal, with negligible switching costs. Budget airlines can compete intensely on price with the legacy carriers. Supplier power is strong as airlines must enter into contracts with aircraft suppliers. Boeing and Airbus dominate the jetliner market; the relative lack of alternatives increases their power. Changing fuel prices could make it difficult to maintain margins and discourage new players to enter the market. Strong rivalry results from factors such as low switching costs for buyers, and a focus on passenger transport that leaves carriers vulnerable to declines in demand in an industry that is highly sensitive to the state of the wider economy.

Buyer power
Figure 6: Drivers of buyer power in the global airlines industry, 2010
Source: Datamonitor
DATAMONITOR
Airlines generally have a large number of buyers. Many of these are individual consumers purchasing flights directly from the airline, although there are B2B sales to charter companies, discounters, and similar buyers. Price sensitivity is high; a result of factors such as the growth of online price comparison sites, corporate travel expense policies for business flyers, and, for the legacy airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, and Cathay Pacific competition from low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and Jetstar. This tends to strengthen buyer power in the airlines market. However, airlines can defend themselves against this by differentiating their service in several ways. A common strategy for easing price competition is to focus on the additional features available on higher-priced flights, such as extra leg room, in-flight entertainment, and so on. The inherent switching costs for buyers in the airline market are negligible, which strengthens buyer power. In response, airlines often use loyalty schemes. BA Miles are offered to flyers with BA and can also be gained through purchases of goods and services, such as hotel stays, from partner companies; they can be redeemed for free flights and other incentives. United Airlines has Mileage Plus, and Japanese carrier JAL has Mileage Bank. The air miles lost should a buyer choose to travel with another airline can be viewed as a switching cost. Where the buyers are individual travelers, whether leisure or business, there is no opportunity for them to integrate backwards or for the airlines to integrate forwards; however, vertical integration is more feasible between airlines and companies such as travel agents. Overall, buyer power is moderate.

Supplier power
Figure 7: Drivers of supplier power in the global airlines industry, 2010

DATAMONITOR
Airlines must enter into contracts when buying or leasing aircraft from suppliers. Breaking these contracts can often imply a heavy financial cost. Furthermore, Boeing and Airbus effectively form a duopoly of suppliers of new jetliners, especially in the large jetliner category, with planes such as the 747 and A380. In the market for lower-capacity regional jets and propeller-driven aircraft, companies such as Embraer, ATR, and Bombadier are significant suppliers. The relative lack of alternative manufacturers or substitute inputs increases supplier power. In an industry where reliability and safety are critical, the quality of the planes and their maintenance are highly important; another factor that boosts supplier power. Staffing costs for an airline are substantial, with large numbers of flight and ground personnel, including mechanics, reservation and transportation ticket agents required for an efficient service. Aviation fuel is another vital input. International Air Transport Association (IATA) data indicates that for the global industry, the high price of crude oil and its derivatives in 2008 meant that fuel accounted for 33% of total airline costs, compared to less than 18% before 2005. The IATA estimates fuel costs to now represent 29% of the total operating costs in 2011, up from 26% in 2010. Relatively few companies supply aviation fuel, strengthening supplier power, although airlines generally defend against price rises using hedging strategies. Supplier power is restricted by the improbability of these suppliers integrating forwards into the airline business. In addition, although a company like Boeing has alternative sources of revenue, notably defense aerospace, civil aviation remains a very significant part of its business. In 2010, Boeing generated around 50% of total revenues from its global commercial airplanes division.

0199 - 0756 - 2010 Page 16
Airbus itself is dominated by its passenger jetliner business, although parent company EADS is more diversified, with space, helicopter, and defense divisions. If a supplier lacks diversity, it is more dependent on airlines as customers, weakening its supplier power. Commonly, airlines are forming alliances with one another, not only to achieve network size economies through code sharing, but also to achieve scale economies in the purchase of fuel, and even of aircraft. Combining forces to make purchases serves to increase the industry players' bargaining power and therefore reduce supplier power. It is currently virtually impossible to find substitutes for the inputs required for airlines to operate an airline must have aircraft, a supply of aviation fuel and a sufficient workforce before it can offer flights. Unlike other modes of transport, airlines have no alternative source of energy. Overall, supplier power is assessed as strong.

New entrants
Figure 8: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the global airlines industry, 2010
Source: Datamonitor
DATAMONITOR
The economic entrance barriers to the airlines industry are relatively high. For an entirely new company, they include the considerable up-front outlay needed to obtain planes, although this may not be an issue for an existing airline beginning to offer flights to a new country or region. Distribution is not particularly easy, as new players need to establish an online booking system, and relationships with travel agents and other sales intermediaries. It is also vital to obtain airport slots for take-off and landing. There has been a growth in air traffic over recent years which mean that congestion at airports in many countries is expected, especially the major hubs. The time slot given to an airline is important, and is something all airlines negotiate with airports. Established airlines will already hold the monopoly over slots at certain airports, making it harder for new airlines to infiltrate. This creates difficulties for a new airline aiming to negotiate prime slots at busy airports and can result in it being restricted to offering flights only at off-peak times, or having to fly to airports further away from popular destinations. This can be a deterrent to new airlines, as customers may seek more convenient alternatives. While there is some debate as to whether traditional scale economies are significant in this industry, it seems likely that being able to offer a wide range of routes is advantageous. The larger airlines achieve this not only through their own fleet, but through code sharing agreements with other carriers in alliances; however, a new entrant will not necessarily be approved for membership. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2006-2010 period was a moderate 2.3% and forecast growth is expected to be stronger, which should attract new entrants.
Global - Airlines
0199 - 0756 - 2010 Page 18
However, with changing fuel prices, it may be difficult to maintain margins, thus discouraging new players. Regulation forms an additional barrier. The various national civil aviation authorities in Europe, such as Direction Gnrale de lAviation Civile (DGAC) in France and the Federal Aviation Authority in the US, regulate areas such as safety, environmental impact, airspace usage, and passenger rights; compliance raises the cost of entry for a new company. For airline markets, there is an additional regulatory issue to consider. Cabotage is the provision of domestic transport services in a country by companies based in a different country. Airline cabotage is generally forbidden, unless explicitly permitted by an agreement between two or more countries. Cabotage by any EU-based carriers is permitted in any other EU-country; also, the Open Skies agreement, finalized in mid-2010, accords cabotage rights to US carriers in the EU. This liberalization should increase the opportunities for market access in this region. However, in other countries, cabotage is generally not possible, and in some cases foreign ownership of domestic airlines is also restricted to a certain percentage. Overall, there is a moderate likelihood of new entrants to this industry.

Substitutes
Figure 9: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the global airlines industry, 2010
Source: Datamonitor
DATAMONITOR
Other forms of transport such as road, rail and marine travel are considered as substitutes to airline travel. Buyers take into account not only the cost of travel but also how long the journey will take on corresponding forms of transportation. In larger countries, air travel makes it easier to overcome long distances and has certain benefits such as shorter travel time than rail travel, even including the time to check in. However in smaller countries, domestic air travel may not be so appropriate, and rail and road transportation become more attractive alternatives. Furthermore, many consumers are now aware of the environmental impact of air travel, and are turning to rail travel instead. It is possible to travel around much of the world by long-distance bus or train, although levels of service vary and some border crossings may present a difficulty. Other than cross-border land transport to Canada and South America, there are few substitutes for international air travel in the US. Its geography isolates it from Europe and Asia-Pacific, and marine passenger transportation is essentially restricted to leisure cruises. Domestic flights, which account for almost 87.1% of US passenger volumes can be substituted by car, bus, or rail. Rail track density is lower in the US than in most major Western European countries. This suggests that rail travel is not as strong a threat to domestic travel in the US as it might be in some comparable countries or regions. Bus travel, however, is popular in the US with Greyhound Lines providing an extensive bus network which links most US cities and also runs services to Canada and Mexico. Fares are considerably lower than both air and train travel, but these services are more time consuming. Most of Europe has well-developed land transport infrastructure.
Global - Airlines
0199 - 0756 - 2010 Page 20
Domestic flights, defined as flights beginning and ending in the same country, account for just under onethird of European air passenger volumes, and can easily be substituted by car, bus, or rail. Cross-border land transport, including high speed trains in several countries, means that many international flights within Europe can also be substituted. The Channel Tunnel allows Eurostar to operate trains connecting the UK to France and beyond. Long distance bus travel is available from companies such as Eurolines, Busabout, and National Express. Eurolines services are focused on international travelers, and connect more than 40 European cities. Fares are considerably lower than both air and train travel, but these services are more time consuming. In Asia-Pacific, domestic flights, which account for 77.4% of air passenger volumes for the region as a whole, can be substituted by car, bus, or rail. International air travel is generally less vulnerable to road and rail substitution in this region. Japan, Australia, and Taiwan are islands with no links to mainland Asia, and land access from the South Korean peninsula to the rest of the continent is complicated by the need to travel via North Korea. Singapore is connected by a road and rail bridge to Malaysia. Travel from the more developed regions of China to the west is technically possible over land, but the distances make this impractical. In contrast, international land travel in Europe is favored by a dense road and rail infrastructure, and is a more significant substitute to air travel in that region. For business travel, alternatives include virtual meetings via videoconferencing and similar technologies. The switching costs here are the cost of the equipment required. At present it is not clear how completely such technologies will replace face-to-face meetings. Overall, the threat from substitutes is assessed as moderate.

Rivalry
Figure 10: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the global airlines industry, 2010
Source: Datamonitor
DATAMONITOR
The competitive landscape has several large companies, such as, JAL, Air France-KLM and British Airways, alongside smaller competitors. Rivalry is increased by the presence of low-cost carriers in the market, as these companies can compete more intensely on price. Switching costs for buyers are low, which means that it is easy for them to change to a competitor. In this market, storage costs are actually the costs associated with unsold seats on a flight. Given the cost of fuel, staffing and so on associated with operating a flight, it is important to maximize the number of seats sold, hence the common policy of selling slightly more tickets than there are available seats on the understanding that some buyers will not make their plane. Where storage costs are high, rivalry is intensified. Diversification in the passenger airlines industry ranges from moderate to little. Most carriers generate additional revenues through freight, but this is often a small proportion of their total sales. A lack of diversity forces players to compete more intensely in their single core business. Exit costs are moderate. Planes are important assets with a high purchase price, which depreciate in value with time and require frequent maintenance expenses. The difference between the outlay on them and the amount they can be sold for represents a sunk cost for an airline exiting the market. However, they are mobile. If conditions become tough in the airlines market in one country, a carrier that wishes to exit is not obliged to try to sell these assets where other companies are trying to do the same thing. It could sell them in a location where there is high demand for secondhand planes.
Global - Airlines
0199 - 0756 - 2010 Page 22
However, the airline industry is quite labor-intensive; thus large numbers of employees may need to be offered severance pay should a company lay them off on exiting this market. Rivalry in the global airline industry is assessed strong.
