Charter Airline Industry

"Whilst the business aviation industry still has a burgeoning business aviation sector, the longer-term outlook is still uncertain. Known problems such as the scarcity of pilots, depreciation of used aircraft, missing OEM innovations, increasing operating expenses and a decreasing talent base for airline divisions have resulted in the industry underperforming its industry potentials.

Key stakeholders seem to be more focussed on short-term selling targets, defence agreements and the stock market upside. "The business aviation industry needs visions and guidance. After all, the possibility of streaming a film at 40,000 ft and making it easy for the pilot to make the flight will not lead to lower or previous arrival costs.

" "Whilst uniting stagnant volumes of new corporate airliners, the overall corporate air service delivery markets are expanding not only in the US but also in Europe and to a lesser extent in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America. While the relatively large tide of used planes is a contributory cause to the decline in unit selling of new planes, the number of young used planes with low flying times is falling, while the value of much older planes is so low that many of them will soon be leaving the fleet if they have not.

In the end, this will be to the advantage of airframe producers, although price pressures on new aircrafts remain. "They might have anticipated that increasing market demands would have resulted in increased profits in corporate aerospace - but they did not. This is because growing is bringing a new breed of customer into the industry.

Thousands of years old clients have different shopping patterns and different aspirations. Data protection and comfort continue to be critical services, but the on-line shopping experiences trusted by other sectors have changed people' attitudes and created greater visibility into prices and uptime. In the past, hiring a personal plane was part of a small group of elites. David Coleal, President of Bombardier Aircraft said: "One of the key industry drivers for Bombardier is our industry's dedication to reduce its CO2 Footprint and mitigate the effects of global warming.

" "In spite of the apparent deceleration of destination such as the Postal Career Storm, the overall corporate jet fuels engine sales during the year were generally strong, especially in prime holiday areas and major finance centers. We are delighted that the areas affected by catastrophic meteorological incidents are returning to full operation and look forward to an even higher level of commercial aircraft in 2018 unless further incidents occur.

Indeed, we are already feeling this 2018 trend: while the jet fuels markets for corporate jets at the beginning of the December skiing season were just about at the prior-year levels due to heavy snowfalls, we recorded a boom in sales in these skiing regions during the holiday period and until January 2018.

"A key trend for our industry in corporate aerospace is its dedication to cutting its CO2 footprint and limiting global warming. ombardier has long been an environmentalist and we have supported the corporate jet industry in defining these obligations in 2009, which include specifying goals to improve Fuel Economy, reach climate-neutral levels of expansion and cut emission levels.

The latter is one of the most challenging, but also provides a great opportunity: the planes in operation are now prepared to use SAJF, so there will be a welcome shift as soon as an SAJF plane starts. Together with our industry counterparts, we are working to raise public consciousness, facilitate easier manufacturing accessibility, improve infrastructures and the economy to make SAJF more available.

Since the sky is getting denser and denser, our industry has to find ways to keep it cleaner. "has undergone a major restructuring. Emerging technology will make it easy for consumers to take advantage of corporate travel, enable businesses to develop new product offerings, make consumer service more effective and significantly enhance the consumer experiences.

"The low interest rates climate will further foster higher exposure businesses for the franchise. When you think about buying an airplane, you are financing it over a long term. "We have seen an increased use of equity in privately held aerospace businesses that focus on this.

That' s good, because it supports the industry and gives the industry renewed energy, new concepts and leads more young adults into the world of personal aviation. It is not that those who want a turnkey solution are willing to buy through the open mart. In 2017, with an increase in business in 2017 and more individuals taking personal jets to favorite locations, especially during high season and event times, we expect clients to book more quickly and early than before to ensure the plane and the desired date.

We had 48% of our clients requesting flights from their mobile in 2017 against 43% in 2016. "Some of the incumbent stars will be challenged by new planes entering operation in 2018. The Pilatus PC-24, a competitor to the hugely popular Embraer Phenom 300, the world's best-selling new commercial airliner in recent years, is at one end of the line.

With Pilatus already a demonstrated success with the PC-12 as the world's best-selling turbo prop, we anticipate that charter appeal will be high once this multi-purpose jets becomes more widely available on-call. In general, the industry benefits from a buoyant Dow and a little from recent fiscal policy moves.

This upward trend, however, is not necessarily equally distributed across the industry and ( "the industry") could see some of the more dominating actors strengthen their positions through various enterprise value-changes. "Our main focus on airplane operations is experiencing a drastic change in the way airplane operators outsource airplane operations and a move away from self-management.

We also see owner who are highly committed to putting more charter lessons on their plane to compensate for the costs. "The most important trends we are seeing are the consumer demand, whether they are on holiday or travelling for pleasure, to find out how they can give their life more of that. The StraightLine has seen a move from pure luxurious treatment in personal air transport to treatment as a service or instrument that makes recreational and corporate trips smoother.

"As we see, the whole operation is divided into different user categories. Consumers will be able to book conveniently on-line and share carpool-style travel with others on regular services between key airports. "There is a growing tendency for more and more global travel to be used for private and commercial purposes. They' re looking for larger planes that can take longer and get to more targets.

Extended flying times require bigger staterooms so that the plane will arrive without stopovers and (the passenger in good condition). Knowing that our clients value consistent, superior designs and easy entry into one of the industry's youngest fleet. With the introduction of new long-range airplanes like the Global 7000 we are expecting more tension in the air.

"After all, younger clients are reacting to an industry that is at last beginning to be innovative. You have more agility, so you're looking for on-demand instead of purchasing an airplane.
