GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY GRIFFITH AVIATION Development of aviation in conflict countries: turbulent flight or steady climb? A review of the development of commercial aviation in conflict countries, case studies: Iraq and Afghanistan 2000-2012. by SAM JOCHEM DE HAAS Report to: Griffith University Aviation Brisbane, 10 May 2013 Completed as the requirements for ‘7507BPS Aviation Management Research Paper’ in the ‘5079 Master of Aviation Management’ STUDENT RESEARCH SHOWCASE Aeronautica, Issue 5, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflicts damage a country politically, economically and socially. After the country has stabilised as a result of international intervention, the country has to be rebuilt and aviation has an important role in developing a country. This paper researches the development of commercial aviation in conflict countries to formulate opportunities, threats and lessons learned for developing aviation in these countries. Research is narrowed down to two case studies: Iraq and Afghanistan. The development of the countries and their national airlines during the period 2000-2012 is reviewed. Although every conflict country and every conflict is different, review of two case studies results in specific and general threats, opportunities and lessons. The analysis consists of applying three different models to the case studies. Firstly, the macro-environment is reviewed using the PESTLE factors. The factors reviewed are political, economical, social, technological, legislative and environmental. These factors cannot be influenced by an individual organisation, but have an effect of the organisation’s strategy and operations. Secondly, the microenvironment is subject to analysis. Porter’s Five Forces Model is used to analyse the threats of the competitive environment, new entrants, substitutes, buyers and suppliers. Lastly, the national carriers are analysed in terms of their internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. These three analyses will result in identification of threats, opportunities and lessons, which influence the development of commercial aviation in conflict countries. Growth of aviation and economy strengthen each other. The direct, indirect and spin-off effects of aviation contribute to business in many ways. The spin-off effects are regarded as the largest economy improving effects. These include facilitating worldwide trade, improving productivity and aviation is indispensable for tourism. In addition, aviation creates social benefits and improves the standard of living. 1 STUDENT RESEARCH SHOWCASE Aeronautica, Issue 5, 2013 Iraq has been the theatre for conflicts for many years when a US-led military force intervened in 2003 and ended the Hussein regime. After a few years, the intervening forces created political and social stability and opportunities for aviation to grow. Supported by the government and potential business because of large oil reserves, Iraqi Airways resumed operations. Competition increased, especially on the international market. Private initiatives as well as foreign airlines entered the domestic and international market to directly compete with Iraqi Airways. Competition on the domestic market is relatively low with only one direct competitor. Iraqi Airways’ strengths comprise their national identity and pride. Also connecting the international network to domestic flights is a strength of Iraqi Airways. The main weaknesses are the damaged reputation because of misuse of the airline during conflicts and the fleet configuration, which is not based on the current strategy but on the prior-conflict strategy. Opportunities for Iraqi Airways are the growing economy and business as a consequence of the oil industry and increase in tourist travel. Iraqi Airways is threatened by competitors — especially on the international market — and the security situation. Even though the level of security improved since the intervention, security is still delicate. After Afghanistan had been ruled by Taliban for over a decade, a multinational force intervened in 2001. This intervention ended the Taliban regime and a transitional government was instituted to start rebuilding the country. Afghanistan is a poor country and the majority of the population lives in remote areas. Technological development stagnated when the Taliban ruled the country. Ariana Afghan Airlines — Afghanistan’s national carrier — was used by the Taliban to transport illegal goods and persons. After stabilisation, competition in the domestic and international market increased. Several private initiatives started offering domestic flights and foreign airlines commenced flights to Afghanistan’s international airports. Competition on the domestic market increased heavily and even led to price discounting. Ariana Afghan Airlines has to display its strengths to stay competitive. These strengths consist of their highly motivated workforce and the Afghan identity. As the national carrier, Ariana Afghan Airlines is the mean to promote the Afghan identity and culture in an 2 STUDENT RESEARCH SHOWCASE Aeronautica, Issue 5, 2013 international environment. Weaknesses of Ariana Afghan Airlines are the low level of technological knowledge and experience in the organisation. This is partly compensated by the use of lease-contracts, but remains a future concern. Secondly, the reputation of Ariana Afghan Airlines — which used to be good before the conflicts — is damaged by the conflicts, especially by the misuse of the airline by the Taliban. Also, the fleet of Ariana Afghan Airlines is not aligned with the strategy, which implies operational inefficiencies. Opportunities for Ariana Afghan Airlines are the growing economy and improved security. These developments result in an increase in demand for air transport. Aid workers, businessmen and tourists find their way to Afghanistan. A large part of the population lives in remote areas, which creates a demand for air transport to regional airfields. These regional airfields receive aid from international organisations to improve their business. Ariana Afghan Airlines can benefit from these subsidies. The last opportunity is international cooperation. Cooperation with foreign airlines can improve the level of technological knowledge and expand the network, offering better service and more flexibility to passengers. Threats, which still exist for Ariana Afghan Airlines are legislative actions, such as the ban on flights to the European Union. Improving to the international aviation standards is a condition to lift this ban. Also, because of the remote location and rough Afghan terrain, the fuel prices are high, which directly raises operating costs. Lastly, the Taliban is still active in the country and remains a threat for operations and security, especially after the security and assistance force leaves the country in 2014. Threats, opportunities and lessons that can be derived from this analysis are that some conditions have to be favourable for air transport. Security and social, economical and political stability have to be at an acceptable level to commence or resume operations. Airlines should identify their core competencies and stick to these to develop the organisation. A threat for the national carriers is the competition from the domestic and international market. This has to be addressed by offering a unique feature; connect the international and domestic flights to achieve comfortable transfers. An opportunity is the demand for air travel created by aid workers, government, businessmen, tourists and refugees. Emphasis when developing the airline should be on the fleet configuration. The fleet configuration has to be aligned with the strategy to operate effective and efficient. Also, international aid 3 STUDENT RESEARCH SHOWCASE Aeronautica, Issue 5, 2013 organisations support infrastructural developments, which often create opportunities for new destinations and network expansion. The international environment can be used to expand the network in another way as well. Code shares, alliances, bilateral agreements and mergers became common practice in aviation. These offer opportunities for airlines to expand the network and improve effectiveness and efficiency by using the knowledge and experience of the partner airlines. To conclude, conflict countries can be potential high-growth countries. This depends on several demographic, economic and political factors. The international opportunities should be used by the airlines to increase knowledge and catch up with international standards. The focus has to be on core competencies and aligning operations and the fleet with the strategy to achieve effective and efficient operations. Strengths for national carriers in conflict countries are connecting international services to domestic flights. Threats such as competition and regulation have to be monitored to continue operations according to law.

  • A PLACE for TOURISM in AFGHANISTAN's RECOVERY? Paul Clammer Friday Mosque at Heart the 1970S Marked the Heyday of Tourism In
    A PLACE FOR TOURISM IN AFGHANISTAN'S RECOVERY? Paul Clammer Friday Mosque at Heart The 1970s marked the heyday of tourism in Afghanistan. Over 90,000 tourists a year visited Afghanistan, one of the country's biggest foreign currency earners. The country was a popular destination in its own right, but also as a stop-off on the overland route to Kathmandu, when Chicken Street was a famous way station on the 'Hippy Trail'. With the country's reconstruction slowly under way, is it too soon to talk about tourists returning to Afghanistan? At first glance, many people working in Afghanistan might think the idea of promoting tourism here is eccentric at best. In April, Mirwais Sadiq Khan, the Minister for Tourism, was killed in fighting in the normally stable western city of Herat. A visit to the Afghan Tourist Organisation in Kabul generates more enthusiasm than any existing infrastructure for visitors, but there is also recognition that recent events have put Afghanistan back on the international map. Slowly, a few intrepid tourists are starting to return. Hinterland Travel, run by Geoff Hann who first visited Afghanistan in the 1970s has brought several groups since the fall of the Taliban. 'My last tours, although with relatively small numbers, opened up the eyes of our clients to a country of outstanding rugged beauty, and hospitable people,' he said. 'My impression was that we astonished local people that we were there at all but also encouraged them.' Is Afghanistan ready for such tour groups? Bamiyan was once the jewel in Afghanistan's tourist crown.
