The Frost & Sullivan research service examines the global airline market, segmenting it into single-aisle, twin-aisle and very large jets. The study analyses major industry challenges, market drivers and restraints as well as potential threats faced by market participants along with a comprehensive analysis of the market.
"High pressure on cost-savings reinforces the need for fleet renewal that will enable airlines to reduce their operating expenses, particularly on fuel as new-generation aircraft can improve efficiency by up to 30 per cent", remarks the analyst of the research service. "Early fleet renewal will assist airlines in creating cost efficiencies, thus enabling them to remain competitive." Additionally, airlines are heading towards larger participation of leased aircraft in their fleets, which will help forge closer relationships between leasing companies and airlines, thus resulting in long-term partnerships.
With airlines eager to reduce costs and offer improved efficiency, adopting viable business models will be pivotal to increasing revenue potential and combating reducing profit margins. Passengers are becoming increasingly price-sensitive and traditional airlines will be compelled to focus on creating efficiencies and reducing costs to compete with low-cost carriers. "Hence, all airlines should develop a strategy to restructure their fleets, adopt efficient fleet management and operate new aircraft to lower maintenance and fuel costs", remarks the analyst.
