RESULTS DRIVEN AIRLINE, AIRPORT AND RAIL CONSULTANTS​

Overcoming the lasting effects of the 2020-2022 crisis 

The airline industry worldwide came to a standstill during the SARS-Cov2 / Covid-19 pandemic. As the recovery continues, it presents tremendous challenges as well as significant opportunities. The winners will be the operators which are able to shift quicker than others. 

​

The opportunities include

• Turnaround and restructuring to right size and get the business focused on the new realities

• Managing for performance for the new competitive landscape, new demand and new cost drivers

• Start-up mentality for existing operators needing to ramp up or new entrants looking to capitalize

• Consolidation through mergers, acquisitions, disposals and carve-outs. 

This crisis has created the full breadth of opportunities. Read more about our services to face these strategic challenges here

Airlines, in particular, were bailed out to unprecedented levels. The lasting effects of which will likely be felt for 20-30 years, if not longer. Few airlines used the time to reorganise their businesses and to prepare for a whole new reality. Far too many planned for and still, in mid 2022, benchmark performance against 2019. This is absurd because any research study and all the data shows that travel has changed fundamentally. 

​

As government bailouts disappear, airlines struggle to ramp up.

• They did not switch to becoming nimble,

• Did not change to a start-up mentality,

• Did not plan for reduced demand,

• Did not plan for permanent loss of premium demand,

• Did not plan for the surge in leisure demand,

• Did not plan for the shift in leisure demand to different travel behaviour. 

• Did not plan for a global rethinking about supply chains, which affects cargo, but also business travel.

​

Restructuring is desperately needed. Not just to cut cost, but position for growth and to capitalize on consolidation opportunities.
