Currently, Lufthansa Cargo gen- erates about 50 percent of its busi- ness from twelve global forwarders - Agility, Ceva Logistics, DHL Global Forwarding, DSV, Expeditors, Hell- mann, Kühne+Nagel, Nippon Express, Panalpina, DB Schenker, UPS and UTi. Needless to say, it plans to “further intensify” its relationship with these customers as the year unfolds. Dr. Otto says Lufthansa’s Aerologic joint venture with DHL is “on track” to begin in April - operating what will eventually be 11 B777 long-range freighters out of Leipzig. DHL plans to use the aircraft primarily to Asia dur- ing the week, with Lufthansa to at the weekends. With the withdrawal of the marketing of Jade Car- go capacities from China “under serious consideration,” Lufthansa has the choice of combining the Jade/Aerologic capac- ity – if not operational management – as the year unfolds. Once Aerologic is fully operational the airline’s hub capacity will be split between Frankfurt with 19 MD-11 freighters, Leipzig with 11 777Fs and with six 744Fs. Widebody bellyhold space out of Frankfurt, Mu- nich and Zurich add to the global lift with 150 flights a week. The replacement of Lufthansa’s fleet is reflected in its CO2 emissions. De- spite a 200 percent increase in overall operations since 1991, the airline’s fuel consumption has been halved. And in a bid to further reduce the C02 footprint, it is planning to operate an intermodal rail/air connection between Leipzig and Frankfurt with DHL. Luf- thansa is not new to the rail business.

What pleases Bommer about the results is that the airline has been able to achieve its goal of becoming a fully viable commercial operation. “Up until last year 45 percent of our business was generated from gov- ernment entities in the UAE. Today, commercial contracts account for 75 percent of hours flown.” Bommer explains that UAE govern- ment-funded work, largely humanitar- ian aid projects, has not decreased by any margin, but that it has simply been overtaken by the commercial contract work the airline is now generating. Even the huge lumbering AN-124 has earned its keep through a series of hu- manitarian and outsize commercial lifts. The aircraft was originally purchased ased in the Arabian Gulf State of Abu Dhabi, the airline is able outright by the Abu Dhabi Government to muster a current fleet of one AN-124, three IL-76TDs, two to provide logistics support for the UAE BL-382 Hercules and two A300-600 freighters.

Is this déjà vu 1979 for the airline industry or a different scenario? Is there interconnectedness between markets that weren’t there 30 years ago that will make this “recession” worse? The globalization of manufacturing, the opening of closed economies, and the spread of consumerism to all corners of the world have dramatically increased the volume of trade flows and the interconnection of national and regional economies over the past 30 years. The global nature of the current economic downturn, with No Return To its roots in crises in credit markets that are closely interconnected, ensures that the hit to demand will be both broad and pervasive. That hit may also be deeper and take longer to recover than is typical in recessions.

Traditional What do you think governments and the airline industry, in particular, can do to avoid this situation in the future? The actions of national and regional governments to thaw frozen credit markets, reignite investor confidence and stimulate consumer demand are essential to Growth minimizing the impact of the current downturn. It is important that these efforts be asserted across all affected regions (which are virtually all regions of the world), as the failure to do so in any one will create headwinds for the other economies to which it is connected. While opinions on how to avoid this sort of situation in the future are as numerous as there are experts, the failure of regulation and self-regulation appears to have been a significant element of the foundation of the current crisis. Preventing the kinds of imbalances that have led to the near-meltdown will help head off similar crises in the future.

Is there a shift in the airline/air cargo center of gravity to the Gulf region? If so, what does this mean for European and Asian carriers? It is undeniable that Emirates and the hub in Dubai have seen very strong growth in past years and that many other airlines and locations are developing similar ambitions as Emirates/Dubai. The success of these initiatives however still has to be proven in the cargo industry. The Middle East (and Dubai in particular) is an ideal location for sea/air traffic and that geographic advantage cannot be copied easily. Furthermore, the Middle East is ideally located as a converging point for upcoming markets where East-West and North South flows meet. Some smaller but fast growing markets are among others China to Southern David Turnbull is the Chairman Africa, Northeast Asia to Central Asia, and to an extent Asia to Latin America as of Seabury Asia and well. Whether the airline/cargo center of gravity shifts to the Gulf region (remains) former CEO of Cathay Pacific. to be seen. It certainly has become and will be an important region in the global movement of goods.

Given the current economic climate, do you expect the outstanding Emirates/ Etihad/Qatar orders to be delivered on schedule or, given the price of oil, will there be delays or cancellations? We are not making carrier-specific comments, nor can we say anything about likely cancellations or delays in the production of freighters. Fact is that if we count the outstanding orders, add an estimate for conversions and subtract likely retirements (for both freighters and passenger aircraft) and compare the resulting growth in capacity with our demand forecast, (1) orders need to be cancelled or delayed, and/or retirements and temporary parking need to go up, and/or conversions need to be down significantly from earlier years; and/or (2) an increased

Unfortunately, it was a very shallow sea, a finite source of oil that was not expected to last even a century. This led to a decision by the then ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, that oil revenues would be used to develop infrastruc- tures that would provide the city/state with sustainable wealth—primarily business and tourism.
