The oil price, always a major factor in our performance, reached levels that very few had predicted and now represents over half of our costs. In the past six months more than 30 airlines around the world ceased operations and the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) has predicted that the global airline industry will lose over $6 billion this calendar year. In these circumstances we did well to continue our proud record of 63 years of uninterrupted operating profits. We salute the skilled, committed and energetic Comair team of 1,781 people who delivered these results. Financial Performance Our earnings were severely impacted by the exceptionally high oil price, particularly during the second half of the financial year. Top line growth was strong and increased by 21% to R2,7 billion for the year, attributable to volume and yield growth on both our British Airways and kulula brands.

  • British Airways Profile
    SECTION 2 – BRITISH AIRWAYS PROFILE OVERVIEW British Airways is one the world's largest international airlines, carrying in the year to March 2005 almost 36 million passengers worldwide. Also, one of the world’s longest established airlines, it has always been regarded as an industry-leader. The airline’s two main operating bases are London’s two main airports, Heathrow (the world’s biggest international airport) and Gatwick. During 2004/05 revenue passenger kilometres for the Group rose by 4.7 per cent, against a capacity increase of 2.1 per cent (measured in available tonne kilometres). This resulted in Group passenger load factor of 74.8 per cent, up from 73.0 per cent the previous year. The airline also carried 877,000 tonnes of cargo last year (up 10.2 per cent on the previous year). The revenue environment in 2006 remains challenging. Whilst turnover is up in the nine months to 31 December 2005 by 8.8%, market conditions remain broadly unchanged as significant promotional activity is required to maintain seat factors. An average of 49,490 staff were employed by the Group worldwide in 2004-2005, 86 per cent of them based in the UK. Unlike some of the world's other airlines, British Airways is owned entirely by private investors - with around 240,000 shareholders, including some 50 per cent of the Company's own employees. British Airways Group fleet as at 31 December 2005 comprised 289 aircraft - one of the largest fleets in Europe. The fleet currently includes 57 Boeing 747s, 43 Boeing 777s, 21 Boeing 767s, 13 Boeing 757s, 67 Airbus A319/320/321s, 33 Boeing 737s and 55 smaller aircraft used in the company’s regional business.
