  • IATA Comments on Draft Bill 19331 on Aircraft History Management
    IATA Comments on Draft Bill 19331 on Aircraft History Management The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a global trade association for airlines representing some 290 airline members and accounting for 82% of total global air traffic. Our members include Asiana Airlines, Eastar Jet, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Korean Air, T’way Air and major foreign airlines that operate services to/from the Republic of Korea. IATA understands that the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea is currently seeking public opinion on a draft bill on the management of aircraft history by airlines. Due to the time constraint, IATA was unable to consult our member airlines extensively on the proposed bill. However, IATA would like to submit the below comments to the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea for your kind consideration. Ensuring that air travel remains a safe, secure and efficient mode of transport is a common objective for governments, aircraft operators and passengers. In this regard, IATA recognizes the importance of aviation safety and it is a top priority for both IATA and our member airlines. However, IATA is of the opinion that the requirement for airlines to publish aircraft history is unlikely to contribute positively to the enhancement of aviation safety. Given the likely limited benefits of these requirements, the compliance burden on airlines would increase disproportionately, particularly as requirements such as the provision of aircraft history for pre-owned aircraft would be difficult to comply with. More importantly, the requirements could bring about unintended consequences, by giving an impression that there is a direct correlation between the age of an aircraft and safety, which is incorrect and unjustified.

  • Jeju Air (089590 KS) Ready for Takeoff
    Jeju Air (089590 KS) Ready for takeoff Initiate coverage with Buy and target price of W45,000 Airlines We initiate our coverage on Jeju Air with a Buy rating and a target price of W45,000. Our investment recommendation is premised on the following points: 1) In our view, Jeju Air is best positioned to benefit from the fast-growing low-cost carrier (LCC) Initiation Report market. 2) The carrier is expanding its market position on the back of lower pricing. 3) It November 5, 2015 is also less vulnerable to external headwinds thanks to its solid balance sheet. Our target price of W45,000 was derived by using a residual income model (COE of 8.2%) and is equivalent to a 2016F P/E of 18.8x and a 2016F P/B of 3.1x. We believe our (Initiate) Buy target valuation is highly achievable, given the stock’s high ROE (2015F-17F average of 22.3%) and EPS growth (3-year CAGR of 28.2%). Target Price (12M, W) 45,000 Key risks are 1) stiffer competition and 2) unfavorable moveme nts in oil prices and F/X. In developed markets, the entry of competitors (such as “ultra” LCCs in the US) has Share Price (11/04/15, W) - increased the size of the market, leading to stronger earnings for most carriers. Meanwhile, Jeju Air has very little foreign currency-denominate d debt and is therefore Expected Return - less vulnerable to F/X-translation losses. As for oil, we expect prices to remain stable. A perfect mix of top-line growth and cost savings OP (15F, Wbn) 58 1) Strong market growth and market share gains: We see plenty of room for growth in Consensus OP (15F, Wbn) 68 the LCC market.
