Holiday Message from ERWAN PERHIRIN VICE PRESIDENT, ASIA PACIFIC

December 2012 Holiday Message from ERWAN PERHIRIN VICE PRESIDENT, ASIA PACIFIC As we approach the end of the year, I’d like to offer my thanks and great appreciation to all who made 2012 another very successful year for American Airlines in the Asia Pacific region, especially our customers and partners. American Airlines has always enjoyed deep support, but we are particularly grateful for your continued commitment and loyalty during a unique year in our company’s long history. At the close of my first year at the helm in APAC, I’m pleased with our achievements, globally and regionally. Our Q3 financial results showed we had the best unit revenue growth in the industry, which points to significant progress in our restructuring, and bodes well for the future. This year, we took delivery of 30 new aircraft as part of our goal to have the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleet among our main competitors in the United States, and will add a further 59 new aircraft to our fleet in 2013. Deliveries include the new A321 and 777-300ER (the first of which arrived in Dec 11th), featuring world class interiors and industry- leading products such as lie-flat business class seats with all-aisle access, international Wi-Fi, and Main Cabin Extra. Beyond fleet improvements, I’m happy to report that our network has also grown this year. Of interest to our APAC customers will be the new service between Incheon and Dallas, which we will operate with our business partner Japan Airlines beginning May, 2013. This new route highlights our growth regionally, and also shows the great strength of our business partnership with JAL. As American’s first service into Seoul, it will connect travelers from South Korea to more than 200 onward flights within North and LatinAmerica. Our Japanese customers with business interests in South America will enjoy more connections into that region. From both Dallas and Miami, we have increased flights into the key Brazilian business centers of Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, and will add a non-stop service between Dallas and Lima that begins in April. Finally, there is continued growth on the alliance front with Malaysia Airlines’ entry into oneworld effective from February, followed by Sri Lankan Airlines and Qatar Airways later in 2013. Malaysia Airlines’ entry into the oneworld family will bolster your network options in Asia, and is the latest step on our path to establish oneworld firmly as the world’s premier airline alliance. For American Airlines AAdvantage members, it means you will now be able to earn and redeem rewards when flying on Malaysia Airlines. As the year comes to a close, I am thankful for the unwavering support of our customers and partners. I am also optimistic about our future in the region in 2013 and beyond. But for now, I wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season, spent in the company of family and friends. I know everybody at American Airlines is already looking forward to serving you and working with you again next year. Erwan Perhirin Vice President, Asia Pacific.

Malaysia Airlines Reducing Invoice Costs Thanks to Ap Automation at a Global Shared Services Centre
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE CASE STUDY INDUSTRY • Transportation ERP • SAP MALAYSIA AIRLINES REDUCING INVOICE COSTS THANKS TO AP AUTOMATION AT A GLOBAL SHARED SERVICES CENTRE THE CHALLENGE Following the implementation of SAP® software solution, Malaysia Airlines was looking for a new solution that could complement its SAP system by automating and streamlining the processing of its vendor invoices. With over 28,000 monthly accounts payable (AP) invoices (increasing at 5% annually), including invoices coming from various overseas locations to company headquarters, the manual invoice process was extremely time-consuming and inefficient. Malaysia Airlines faced a number of challenges, including: § Inability to track invoice statuses § Invoice approvers situated in different locations § Missing invoices § High volume of physical document movement The ultimate goal was to improve the flow of invoices around the world and set up a global finance shared services centre in Malaysia. THE SOLUTION Malaysia Airlines had several conditions including: the capacity to handle its growing global invoicing needs, and, the ability to seamlessly integrate with its finance shared services centre. It was also key that the solution work with IATA Simplified Interlines Settlement (SIS), an airline specific electronic invoicing platform designed to remove all paper from invoicing. Additional requirements included: § Scanning/importing § Approval workflow § OCR § Integration to SAP application § Data validation § KPI reporting & SIS document management reporting § Invoice verification After having looked at multiple solutions on the market, Malaysia Airlines selected Esker's Accounts Payable automation solution for its flexible workflow functions outside SAP, as well as its on-premises global deployment. How it works When an invoice arrives, the document is entered into the Esker system where it’s imaged and scanned into SAP — all with full visibility and while minimising the risk for invoice entry errors.

Airline Partnerships As a Means of Surviving COVID- 19, and Thriving Thereafter
Stronger together: airline partnerships as a means of surviving COVID- 19, and thriving thereafter As the aviation industry comes to terms with the havoc wrought by COVID-19, airlines are increasingly finding that there is strength in numbers and joining hands to forge a path forward is better than going it alone. Hence, among a range of actions to preserve cash and plot their future, they are turning to partnerships and cooperation agreements – even with erstwhile rivals. This article is part of Lufthansa Consulting’s ongoing series ‘Shaping flexible organizations: how to deal with COVID-19-induced uncertainties.’ September 2020 by Arvind Chandrasekhar and Michelle Feil Aviation is still seeking a path to a post-COVID-19 future, over six months since the industry was upended. Through the northern summer, several key geographies have seen airlines return passenger capacity to the skies, only to have demand fall short of expectations. In fact, the global passenger load factor in July 2020 was nearly 30 percentage points lower than in 2019. The risk of further waves of Covid-19 outbreaks and the resulting travel restrictions is a further dampener on a struggling industry. Figure 1: Rate of growth of capacity (ASKs) and demand (RPKs); demand clearly lags capacity Source: IATA SRS Analyzer, DDS, IATA Economics Note: Reflects situation as of 14 September 2020 Surviving the crisis and building a financially sustainable future, therefore, requires airlines to be flexible – about their scale, their ambition and their roles in the transport ecosystem. A flexible organization will constantly challenge its planning assumptions, quickly adapt and seek to build resilience to future adversity.

Flyquiet Programme
FlyQuiet Programme A quieter Heathrow FlyQuiet league table – Q3 2016 Overview The Fly Quiet Programme is one of the steps Heathrow is taking to reduce aircraft noise, set out in ‘A quieter Heathrow’. It is intended to further encourage airlines to use quieter aircraft and to fly them in the quietest possible way. The league table The Fly Quiet league table is published every quarter comparing each of the top 50 airlines (according to the number of flights to and from Heathrow per year) across six different noise metrics. Where the table shows amber dots, the airlines have met Heathrow’s minimum performance targets and green dots show they have exceeded them. If the airline has a red dot in a particular area, we work closely with them to improve performance. Highlights – Q3 2016 • Number of super-quiet Airbus A350 flights more than doubles as Qatar Airways becomes the third airline to fly the new plane to Heathrow • Singapore Airlines climb 21 places to 19th, thanks to cleaner, quieter aircraft and improved performance • British Airways short-haul remains the leading quiet airline, while Etihad Airways and Qantas move into the top 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 Chapter CDA Track keeping Rank Airline name QC/seat number violations violations Pre-0430 Pre-0600 1 British Airways - short haul 2 Aer Lingus 3 Etihad Airways 4 Emirates 5 Qantas Airways 6 American Airlines 7 United Airlines 8 Scandinavian Airlines System 9 Malaysia Airlines 10 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 11 Cathay Pacific Airways 12 Virgin Atlantic Airways 13 Air Malta 14 Delta Air Lines 15 British
