Cathay Pacific Airways – What Next?
International Journal of Case Method Research & Application (2005) XVII, 4 © 2005 WACRA®. All rights reserved ISSN 1554-7752 CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS – WHAT NEXT? Madhu Malkani, John Hulpke, Cubie Lau Hong Kong University of Science & Technology HONG KONG, CHINA Teresa Ho Teleadapt HONG KONG, CHINA Abstract Cathay Pacific Airways has grown from humble beginnings in Hong Kong in 1946 to become one of the world’s premier airlines. After tough times in the early 2000s, the airline faced the future. NOTE: The case hints but does not state that Cathay faces choices and challenges in China, and must decide to remain a premium carrier or somehow get into the low cost carrier arena. Exhibits and video of Philip Chen’s speech are available to those interested. The case is best suited for an undergraduate strategy or international business course. A detailed Teaching Note is available from the authors. KEY WORDS: Cathay Pacific Airways, airline industry, China INTRODUCTION What an industry! A hundred years after the first powered flight by the Wright Brothers an industry had developed that shrunk the globe, allowing millions of people to travel distances never imagined before. And as Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong’s flag carrier Cathay Pacific, Philip Chen knew his airline had been a part of the amazing history of the industry. After humble beginnings in Hong Kong immediately after World War II, Cathay had become one of the world’s most respected carriers. Cathay serves more than 75 destinations world wide with cargo routes and award winning passenger service. The industry had achieved amazing success, as had Cathay. -

The Airline market positioning empirical analysis examines the international airlines operating on the TaipeieTokyo and TaipeieOsaka Airline competition routes. The multiple correspondence analysis results illustrate the relative positions of airlines, service Airline market dominance attributes, and travelers’ characteristics in a perceptual map. The cluster analysis clearly identifies two groups of airlines that compete on particular services. The findings suggest that each airline can simultaneously adopt strategies to maintain and enhance its current strengths and to strengthen attri- butes in which it is lacking. Ó 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

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 . -
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd V Lufthansa Technik AG)
No duty to exercise option reasonably or in good faith in engine maintenance agreement (Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd v Lufthansa Technik AG) 21/07/2020 Commercial analysis: The High Court found that there was no duty of good faith or duty to act reasonably in respect of an option to withdraw engines from a maintenance agreement. The judgment provides a helpful discussion of the case law concerning the principles of contractual interpretation and implied terms (including on the basis of the Braganza v BP Shipping Ltd and Socimer International Bank v Standard Bank London line of cases and relational contracts). The judgment also serves as a reminder to practitioners that evidence of statements made in pre- contractual negotiations, including mutual understanding (subject to limited exceptions) are generally inadmissible to assist with the interpretation of a concluded contract. Written by Rebecca Farrell, counsel, at 3 Paper Buildings. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd v Lufthansa Technik AG [2020] EWHC 1789 (Ch) What are the practical implications of this case? For commercial entities who have received the benefit of legal advice prior to entering into a contract, this judgment highlights the difficulties a party may experience in seeking to subsequently persuade the court that a contextual approach should be favoured over a textual analysis of the disputed clause in question. The case further serves as a reminder to practitioners regarding what evidence is admissible where a term is challenged on the basis of a purported shared mutual understanding (see paras [118]–[127]). The general rule (subject to limited exceptions) is that evidence of statements provided in pre-contractual negotiations is inadmissible for the purposes of interpreting the concluded contract. -
