Chairman’s message Dear Shareholder, We achieved an excellent performance in 2005-06. Operating income rose by nearly 70% to 936 million euros and net income reached 913 million, including an exceptional gain of 504 million euros on Amadeus. These results confirm what we had already announced last year, the success of our merger, both operationally and financially. Our combination has given us a real competitive advantage, supporting our strategy of profitable growth. Despite a continued high oil price our objective is for operating income in the current financial year at least in line with last year. Our confidence in the future has led us to propose a doubling in the dividend to 30 euro cents. Within a context of buoyant economic conditions, Air France and KLM have been able to seize every opportunity offered by sustained demand thanks to the power of their networks, organized around two highly efficient hubs.

There are several more specific contributions (among others) that I would like to point out for each member: Dr. Douglas Porpora, Professor of Sociology at Drexel for the whole coordination, support, mediation and the open ear to discuss and refine all my ideas, as well as of prompting me to frame the broader project. Also, for the numerous hours of scholarly (and not only) discussion which was quite helpful in keeping the focus for this dissertation. My appreciation extends to his mentoring skills and his “broad-mindedness” to cope with diverse ideas, motivate and restrict when necessary, and being a real mentor for the current dissertation and beyond. Dr. Thomas Hewett, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and of Computer Science at Drexel for his availability to read through my texts, his steady pace to follow-up on the drafts as well as the accommodating approach during proposal defense. His directive to focus on knowledge acquisition from pilots, as “experts”, was quite fruitful, as well as his suggestions regarding protocol analysis and some real-life cases.

Air France-KLM has (...) placed an order with Airbus to purchase ten additional copies of the A350-900. This measure allows Air France to continue and intensify the modernisation and rationalisation of its fleet. The A350-900s had been considered from the very beginning of the search for a replacement for the Super Jumbo but were in competition with the A330neo and Boeing 787. Rather than creating or reinforcing the weight of a sub-fle et, the company has therefore chosen to consolidate the A350's position as a new pillar of the long -haul fleet. The ten new devices are in addition to the twenty -eight already in the process of being acquired. (...)

ABSTRACT KLM has revealed the plan to downsize the full-freight cargo fleet in Schiphol Airport, for that reason the company requires to explore the consequences of moving the cargo transported by the Full freighters into the bellies of the passenger flights. In the current study, the authors analyse the implications of that decision by using public information of KLM cargo. We analysed four different scenarios taking into consideration the future cargo fleet, the load factors and how the transition towards the Belly operation should impact the current operation of KLM at Schiphol. Our study show that the first impact will be in the increase of traffic of commercial flights, the traffic of KLM should match the destinations and frequency of flights in order to absorb the cargo from The Netherlands to the rest of the world. The results rises the discussion on future problems to be faced and how to make a smooth transition from full freighter to belly operation in addition to the key question if KLM fleet is able to absorb the increase in cargo or requires to subcontract companies for specific destinations. Keywords: Air freight operations, optimum capacity, air-freight performance, Full Freighters, Belly capacity, scenario, multi-modal transport Corresponding Author: Miguel Mujica Mota 1 INTRODUCTION On a worldwide level, the transport of commercial cargo is a key economic indicator of international trade as well as a thermometer for the state of the global economy.
