In the local operating environment, ATNS is embarking on year 2 of its new Economic Regulatory chapter. After having successfully having engaged the users and aviation Industry as part of the permission application process, the new permission was due to commence in April, 2015. It is eagerly anticipated that the Shareholder, Department of Transport and the Regulating Committee will provide the clearance to formally commence the new chapter. Furthermore, ATNS continues to implement the Strategy adopted and approved in January 2015 by the Board of Directors. The organization is conscious of the global economic factors which require us to continue striving for efficiency in operations and provide value to our stakeholders, especially the airlines. The 2016/17 – 2018/19 Corporate Plan prioritizes the activities according to the ATNS mandate. In this plan, further considerations to external environment factors, stakeholder concerns and expectations guide our deliberations in strategic choices. The ATNS chosen strategy is the expansion of our products and services into the African continent through the non-regulated business. The higher purpose of this strategy is to improve air traffic safety in Africa. Currently the non-regulated business is already contributing 10% to ATNS overall revenue and the intention is to grow this percentage over time. ATNS’s regional aspirations are also guided by the Africa Agenda 2063 which seeks to mobilize continental programmes to achieve social and economic transformation of the Continent. All economies in the world value a quality air transport sector as a contributor to economic prosperity. ATNS unequivocally strives to respond to the radical economic transformation in the South African society. In this Corporate Plan, ATNS reflects on these governmental outcomes under the Strategy section. ATNS is supported by various policies and/or plans that ensure effective governance and management of the organization. The corporate plan includes detailed projected and consolidated income statements, balance and sheet cash flow statement of the organization for the next three years.

As a Schedule 2 public entity reporting to the Department of Transport, ATNS is complying fully with the statutory requirements to prepare and present a corporate plan annually. This 2016/17 – 2018/19 Corporate Plan aims to: Provide the Shareholding Minister with the current and future plans of the Company, as required by Section 7 of the ATNS Company Act (Act 45 of 1993), Comply with the requirements of Section 52 of the Public Finance Management Act(PFMA) (Act 1 of 1999), Comply with Treasury Regulation 29, and Comply with good reporting standards and good corporate governance.

(University of Johannesburg) Mapinga T. (University of Johannesburg) Mtimkulu Z. (University of Johannesburg) Dhliwayo S. (University of Johannesburg) Contact author Dhliwayo Department of Business Management Johannesburg Business School University of Johannesburg. P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park, 2006 Johannesburg. South Africa Phone: 027 11 559 1698 Abstract Deregulation of the South African Low Cost Airline lowered entry barriers which resulted in 11 airlines entering the market between 1990 and 2018 but only 6 are still operating. Using a literature and qualitative method, the study found that there are key success factors that actors in the industry have to adhere to enhance their survival. These include having support from a full service parent airline, modern fleet and tapping into the market of those who normally would not fly, among many others. The key success factors seem to have been applied by those that succeeded in the industry. BACKGROUND The deregulation of the South African airline industry in 1990, created opportunities for low cost airlines to emerge and compete within the industry (Paelo & Vilikazi 2016). According to the South African Low Cost Airline Industry study carried out by Mhlanga (2017) deregulation as “an act or process of eliminating regulations and restrictions from a given industry, or the reduction or removal of centralised power in a particular industry usually enacted to create more competition within the industry”.

  • Investigation Into Passenger Volumes and Financial Performance of the Low-Cost Carriers in the Southern African Development Community Region
    Investigation into passenger volumes and financial performance of the low-cost carriers in the Southern African Development Community region Michael E. Mononga University of Westminster January 2020 A dissertation submitted to the University of Westminster in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Science, Air Transport Planning and Management Left blank i Abstract Since the emergence of the first low cost carrier (LCC) back in 2002 on the African continent in the South African Development Community (SADC) region, LCC activity has been moderate. Compared to LCC activity, from other parts of the world, such as Europe, North America and South East Asia, LCC activity has increased to the extent it the market has neared maturity and has made a huge impact to the passenger market. As for Africa, industry experts still consider that the air transport market is yet to experience further growth, as, as of 2017, Africa only represented 2.2% of the global market share according to a report on passenger demand and load factors by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The main objective of this research is to investigate passenger volumes and financial performance of the LCCs in the Southern African Development Community region. The existing literature for the LCC market has resulted in limited knowledge about the impact to the passenger market for this specific business model at regional economic bloc level. Analysis of secondary data; passenger traffic volumes, seat capacity and load factors and airline case studies were conducted to identify growth in passenger volumes from 2000 to 2017, and financial performance of two airlines against industry global levels.

  • Barriers to Entry for Low Cost Carriers in the South African Airline Industry
    Working Paper 8/2016 Barriers to entry for low cost carriers in the South African airline industry: Competitive dynamics and the entry, expansion and exit of 1Time Airline Anthea Paelo and Thando Vilakazi [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the barriers to entry and expansion of competitor airlines in South Africa. The exit of 1Time from the market as well as the experience of FlySafair, a recent entrant, are used to draw lessons about competitive conditions and constraints that new airlines face in the market. The assessment shows that while the exogenous barriers to entry are not prohibitively high in South Africa (partly evidenced by the number of entrants), a history of repeated anti-competitive conduct by the national carrier, South Africa Airways, has contributed to these challenges. The analysis of price data covering 2014 and 2015 and information drawn from detailed firm-level interviews demonstrates the positive effects of entry in the South African market, including through reducing prices and increasing frequencies to smaller routes which has benefits for local economies. There is preliminary evidence that the entry of LCCs has also contributed to increased passenger volumes, although there are limitations in the data which is available to assess this further.

The process yielded a new strategic focus for the organization that provides for a step change in performance. The new vision of the organization, places emphasis on being a “model” regulator, which means striving for excellence will become the “SACAA-Way”. This strategic direction is fully aligned with our legislative mandate as well as our stakeholder’s expectations.
