Rob Palmer
Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer,
Porter Airlines
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
