1 Airline MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Optimizing Operations Through Real-Time Direct Operating Costs Management

2 The airline industry is a complex place, with multiple layers and hundreds of stakeholders including ancillary vendors, airport authorities, technology partners, GDS and many more. Effective communication and timely sharing of information between these stakeholders impacts airline margins, efficiencies and profitability. Some areas where airlines constantly feel challenged to deliver: Increasing customer expectations It has become critical for airlines to consistently manage the customer expectations. Customer on-demand expectations means providing the right service at the right time under the right price point. Reduction in operating cost To increase profitability an airline needs to know the insights of its operations. Analyzing operations effectiveness, profitability of flight routes, capacity and inventory information and planning are some of the key questions being asked by airline executives. Fuel Prices The fluctuating global economy and fuel prices impact the airline profitability substantially. Higher fuel cost results in financial losses and can be optimized by knowing the correct route profitability.

3 Managing Operations The operating environment for airlines is highly complex due to the large number of flights, variation in aircraft types, multiple countries and earnings in various currencies. In addition to the above, it becomes difficult to calculate the actual operating cost for each flight in real-time due to: Standard ERP systems which do not provide accrual of expenses on daily basis Complex IATA based service parameters to be implemented for material management Detailed cost calculations cannot be tracked according to IATA rules It is essential for an airline to have access to accurate real-time direct operating cost data to analyze profitable & non-profitable routes and activities.
