What factors are affecting airlines ability to raise capital, and where are the opportunities for investors:

  • Managing network capacity – too many aircraft, or not enough?
  • What/How are fleet management teams dealing with the unknown – OEMs, pilot costs and training?
  • How to raise money when you can’t spend?
  • Is the low cost model a thing of the past?
  • Aircraft values – where’s the sweet spot? Are LR/XLRs the way forward?
  • Tapping into the North-South corridor; are airlines from the US and non-US competitive profit makers – costs vs passenger loyalty vs volumes
