    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • Airline Alliances
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Open Skies • 1992 - the United States concluded the first second generation “open skies” agreement with the Netherlands. It allowed KLM and any other Dutch carrier to fly to any point in the United States, and allowed U.S. carriers to fly to any point in the Netherlands, a country about the size of West Virginia. The U.S. was ideologically wedded to open markets, so the imbalance in traffic rights was of no concern. Moreover, opening up the Netherlands would allow KLM to drain traffic from surrounding airline networks, which would eventually encourage the surrounding airlines to ask their governments to sign “open skies” bilateral with the United States. • 1993 - the U.S. conferred antitrust immunity on the Wings Alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. The encirclement policy began to corrode resistance to liberalization as the sixth freedom traffic drain began to grow; soon Lufthansa, then Air France, were asking their governments to sign liberal bilaterals. • 1996 - Germany fell, followed by the Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Malta, Poland. • 2001- the United States had concluded bilateral open skies agreements with 52 nations and concluded its first multilateral open skies agreement with Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. • 2002 – France fell. • 2007 - The U.S. and E.U. concluded a multilateral “open skies” traffic agreement that liberalized everything but foreign ownership and cabotage. • 2011 – cumulatively, the U.S. had signed “open skies” bilaterals with more than100 States. Multilateral and Bilateral Air Transport Agreements • Section 5 of the Transit Agreement, and Section 6 of the Transport Agreement, provide: “Each contracting State reserves the right to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an air transport enterprise of another State in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of a contracting State .

  • GLOBAL MONITORING ALERT New US and UK Regulations On
    GLOBAL MONITORING ALERT New U.S. and U.K. regulations on electronic devices on certain direct flights Incident: On 20 and 21 March 2017, transportation security officials in the U.S. and the U.K. issued orders prohibiting travelers from bringing laptops, portable DVD players, tablet computers and other large electronic devices in carry-on luggage onboard flights from certain Middle Eastern countries. The U.S. and the U.K. orders both define the bans in terms of device size and origin of the flight, but the regulations differ in some particulars. The U.S. order bans travelers from bringing electronic equipment larger than a smartphone into the aircraft cabin; along with cell phones, the order exempts medical devices. Reports indicate that U.S. authorities have given airlines until 25 March 2017 to implement the order. The ban does not apply to flight crews. The U.S. order applies to direct flights to the U.S. from the following facilities: • Queen Alia International Airport, Amman Jordan (OJAI/AMM) • Abu Dhabi International Airport, Abu Dhabi UAE (OMAA/AUH) • Dubai International Airport, Dubai UAE (OMDB/DXB) • Kuwait International Airport, Kuwait City Kuwait (OKBK/KWI) • Cairo International Airport, Cairo Egypt (HECA/CAI) • Istanbul Ataturk Airport, Turkey (LTBA/IST) • King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah Saudi Arabia (OEJN/JED) • King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh Saudi Arabia (OERK/RUH) • Mohammed V International Airport, Casablanca Morocco (GMMN/CMN) • Hamad International Airport, Doha Qatar (OTHH/DOH) The U.K. order forbids travelers from taking electronic devices larger than 16 cm in length, 9.3 cm in width and 1.5 cm in depth (approximately 6 in by 4 in by 0.6 in), which is approximately the size of a large smart phone, on board flights from the designated countries.

  • Présentation BRITISH AIRWAYS-IBERIA
    LABORATOIRE SOCIAL D'ACTIONS D'INNOVATIONS DE REFLEXIONS ET D'ECHANGES 12 TH LASAIRE BIENNIAL “Anticipation and Participatory Change Management in Companies during a Period of Crisis and Technological Change” BRITISH AIRWAYS - IBERIA: INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES GROUP (IAG) (by Jean-Cyril Spinetta – October 2016) The announcement of the merger between British Airways and Iberia in 2010 which gave birth to the IAG group, brought to a close, for all practical purposes, the consolidation of European air transport, launched in 2003 by the announcement of the merger between Air France and KLM, and followed by the groupings between Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines (former Swissair), Brussels Airlines (former Sabena) and Austrian Airlines. At the end of this consolidation phase some ten years in the making, most of European air transport is structured around three major groups (Air France KLM, Lufthansa Group and IAG), and the only independent companies still in operation are more modest players such as TAP (Portugal) or SAS (Scandinavia) and, of course, low-cost airlines dominated by Ryan Air and EasyJet. As to Alitalia and Air Berlin, they can in no way be considered independent anymore, because even though their reference shareholder ETIHAD holds a monitory stake in their capital, everyone knows that this group has actually taken effective control of these two companies. To try and understand why and how a consolidation announced as inevitable and desirable for decades could only take place in the beginning of the new millennium, it is necessary to: ⁃ bear in mind the specific regulation of air transport, which long opposed the possibility of consolidation in the sector, - While the fundamentals of the economic model of air transport made such consolidation inevitable.

  • Fly America Act and Open Skies Agreements Guidance
    Fly America Act and Open Skies Agreements Guidance A person traveling on funds provided by the federal government must use a U.S. flag carrier (an airline owned by an American company), regardless of cost or convenience. When scheduling international travel that is federally funded, you must ensure that all flights, where possible, are scheduled on U.S. flag carriers or on foreign air carriers that code share with a U.S. flag carrier. Code sharing: when two or more airlines “code” the same flight as if it was their own. A U.S. airline may sell a seat on the plane of a foreign air carrier; this seat is considered the same as one on a plane operated by a U.S. flag carrier. Compliance with the Fly America Act is satisfied when the U.S. flag air carrier's designator code is present in the area next to the flight numbers on the airline ticket, boarding pass, or on the documentation for an electronic ticket (passenger receipt) – see example below, where Delta Airlines (DL) has a code share agreement with Air France (AF) to Paris, France. COMPLIANT NOT COMPLIANT US Flag Air Carriers - U.S. flag carriers and their codes are below to assist you. In order for a flight to be in compliance with the Fly America Act, the code of a U.S. flag air carrier must be noted as part of the flight number on the airline ticket, flight coupon (boarding pass*), or passenger receipt. Each airline has a two letter alpha code. From this list, you will be able to compare airline codes on the ticket with those on the list and thereby be able to ascertain whether or not the flight is on a US Flag air carrier.
