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. We achieved record load factors across all markets, carrying 70 million passengers. This puts us far ahead of our competitors and confirms our position as European leader. 2005-06 Our sector makes an essential contribution to the world economy, whose development depends on efficient and profitable air transport. While last year showed very strong worldwide traffic growth, we should remember that the air transport sector is still in a very fragile state. The ever-higher oil price of the past two years, following a number of geopolitical crises and health scares, is not allowing it to benefit fully from restructuring initiatives. The US airlines, for example, remain in the red, despite their cost-cutting efforts and the various subsidies received while, in Europe, certain airlines are still in difficulty. The development of the air transport sector, clearly divided between strong and weak companies, must be achieved We intend to play a major role in this new context. through consolidation. Alliances are already playing a major Thanks to the strategy of profitable growth we are pursuing, role in this process in bringing companies together around we are achieving a steady improvement in our profitability. a shared and compelling commercial project. I remain We have chosen RoCE, or return on capital employed, as convinced, however, that only mergers will be able our performance benchmark. Currently standing at 5.1% to deliver the profound restructuring our sector needs after tax, our objective is to increase this to 7% after tax to enjoy the status that its economic importance deserves. over the coming four years and to generate significant free It is also becoming essential for airlines to achieve critical cash flow, allowing us to seize growth opportunities while creating value for our shareholders. mass to provide the adaptive capacity and flexibility needed message Chairman’s in a sector subject to rapid and profound changes.

  • Air France 447 Transcript
    What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447 Craig E. Geis, M.B.A., M.A. Psychology This case is designed to accompany the Heliprops article: The Effects of Stress on Our Physiological, Perceptual, and Cognitive Performance Permission for the use of this article comes from the author, Jeff Wise. Jeff is a science writer, outdoor adventurer, and pilot of airplanes and gliders. A contributing editor at Popular Mechanics, he has also written for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Popular Science, Men's Journal, and many others. In December, 2009, he published his first book of psychology, Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger. To learn more about his writings and career visit his web site, the Jeff Wise Blog, at www.jeffwise.net. There is still a great deal of controversy over this accident and my point is not to argue facts or try to determine a root cause for the accident but to use this article to demonstrate the principles we have been looking at in the series of articles. Read the case completely. Stop when you see a number (1) and read my comments which are in bold. The footnote numbers in this article are also referenced in the article: The Effects of Stress on Our Physiological, Perceptual, and Cognitive Performance . We are not trying to figure out what the crew should have done but why they may have done what they did. Much of what has been written about this accident mentions the inexperienced crew and their lack of training. Experience and training are very subjective.
