The framework guidance provided offers a good structure, and the focus on calculating CM/ASM is a key element for profitability analysis.

澄清信息

  1. What is the timeline for the project? ASAP – financial investments for the airline typically warrant a payback period of 3 years.
  2. How is the rest of the airline industry performing? Our client’s profitability is declining slightly faster than the industry – but is in line with other airlines within its class of service.
  3. Any specific goals? Take operating margin positive.
