Private investment being courted for Berlins new airport
Although its opening has been postponed several times, and
with a current opening date now scheduled for 2017, the
German newspaper Bild am Sonntag has reported that such
weighty investors as JP Morgan and Macquarie have been
courted by Berlin to take a stake in the new airport. The
newspaper report states that investors will be given
confidential details relating to the airports business plans in order to make concrete offers, though it would not name its
sources. A spokesman for the airport however indicated that there had
been now new developments regarding a possible part
privatisation of the airport, stating that the company, FBB
)Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg(, was currently in a pre-notification phase with the European Commission, whereby it must clearly show the potential return on investment for any
private investors. The spokesman subsequently referred to a
June 18 statement where the airport said: This does not, however, prejudge whether should be privatised, either in
whole or in part. The spokesman refused to comment specifically on speculation as to whether any particular potential investors had been contacted or not. The EUR5.1 billion (USD$5.7 billion) airport is presently jointly owned by the city of Berlin, the state of Brandenburg
and Germanys federal government. However Bild did say that a comprehensive report was expected by the owners at the
end of the year as to whether part-privatization was feasible,
making it also clear that once operational, the federal
government would look to offload its 26% stake.

guidance2015 Royce updates -Rolls Rolls-Royce updated its 2015 guidance, including a preview of its
expected half-year results. In Civil Aerospace, Rolls-Royce
continues to expect 2015 underlying revenue and profit within the
guided range provided in February of 7,000m to 7,300m and 800m to 900m respectively. However, the company now expects the impact of reduced Trent 700 deliveries to be greater than initial
estimates, reflecting further adverse developments in the demand
for OE and spare engines and related pricing. In addition, lower-
than-expected demand for engines to power business jets and a
softening regional aftermarket will also adversely impact profit.
These market headwinds should be balanced by good growth in its
widebody aftermarket and a larger-than-expected benefit from the
reversal of a balance sheet provision on the Trent 1000 launch, as
a result of an expected significant improvement in operating
performance, and by improved retrospective TotalCare contract
profitability. The value of the provision release and contract
profitability are expected together to contribute around 200m, somewhat more than previously expected. Rolls-Royce continues
to expect 2015 underlying profit before tax to be phased more to
the second half than in 2014, led principally by Civil Aerospace and
Power Systems. As a result, first half underlying profit before tax is
expected to be between 390m and 430m, or around 30% of the full year, compared with roughly 40% in 2014. Free cash flow is
expected to be between (570)m to (620)m compared with (347)m in the first half of 2014.

787 Boeing, Vietnam Airlines Celebrate First
Dreamliner for Flag Carrier Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Vietnam Airlines celebrated a historic
event today witnessed by H.E. Nguyen Phu Trong, General
Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, with the flag
carrier's first 787 Dreamliner serving as a backdrop. The event was attended by more than 200 delegates, ministers
and ambassadors from Vietnam and the United States, as well as
local and international media, and other invited guests at the
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The airplane on
display is scheduled to be delivered to Vietnam Airlines later this
month. "I'm glad to introduce the very first Boeing 787 Dreamliner for
Vietnam Airlines, marking the start of 19 of these new aircraft to
expand our fleet and operations," said Dr. Pham Viet Thanh,
Chairman of Vietnam Airlines. "I believe that with its state-of-the-
art, environmentally friendly, safe and convenient features, the
787 will offer Vietnam Airlines' customers new experiences and a
new quality of service." "Today we build on more than two decades of partnership with
Vietnam Airlines and Boeing is honored to be joined by General
Secretary H.E Nguyen Phu Trong on his historic first official visit
to the United States," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes
President and CEO Ray Conner. "We are proud to celebrate
Vietnam Airlines' first 787 Dreamliner and to continue to provide
them with the best airplanes in the world." At the event, the two companies also signed a memorandum of
collaboration toward the goal of Vietnam Airlines' fleet
replacement and expansion. Boeing has offered the airline eight
787-10 Dreamliners and eight 777-8Xs, which the airline
acknowledged. Boeing and Vietnam Airlines will work together
and report to government authorities before coming to official
cooperation agreements in the future. .

Airline Retailing: The State of the Industry Sabre Airline Solutions has released a new whitepaper highlighting the business challenges faced by airlines in the area of customer data, retailing, and personalization. Brand differentiation and personalized sales and service are becoming increasingly strategic areas for leading airlines due to their market share and profit potential. In the whitepaper, Sabre discusses the unique complexities in the industry, analyzes new findings about revenue potential, and discusses ideal solutions for these problems in the market place. Airline Retailing: The State of the Industry Customer experience and personalization have become the
topical focus for multiple industry verticals in recent years, ever
since Amazon and Netflix turned the customer-interaction
paradigm on its head. Even within the last decade, both retailers
were known only for their original, core products books, disc reservations and shipping, respectively. Netflixs core competency included processing online reservations for a
particular product selection and transporting that selection, on
time, to its chosen destination. Sound familiar? Today, Netflix is
known as a pioneer in the personalization, customer experience,
and retailing disciplines. The company has chosen to further
adapt its business model by evolving into a content creation
studio in order to deliver unique, targeted, brand-differentiating
products to its customers. These strategic business model shifts
are based on innovative customer data and analytics systems
that empower Netflix to create the right products, for the right
individual, offered at the right time. .

Industries that create and store vast amounts of customer data have the
greatest opportunity to create relevant business value from the
aggregation, analysis, and actioning of that data. By that measure, the
airline industry maintains, quite possibly, the greatest personalization and
retailing opportunity in any industry vertical today. Though that sounds
ambitious, the environment is ripe for disruption. Airlines today are sitting on terabytes of first-party customer data
detailing shopping and buying behavior, check-in and baggage history, in-
flight service preferences, airport movement, customer service
interactions, and many, many other sources of data. Companies like
Vodafone, DIRECTV, Stubhub, and others have boosted incremental
revenue by building a holistic view of their individual customers and
personalizing the customers experience with their brand. As consumers become accustomed to customization in other parts of their lives --
banking, retail, dining -- they are going to expect travel companies to be at
that standard and be at that standard very soon, says Henry Harteveldt, industry analyst at San Francisco-based Atmosphere Research Group.1 Customers have been engaging with agents, cabin crew, and call center
representatives since the genesis of commercial aviation. Today, airlines
have already seen early success in mining and analyzing social media
data and talking to their customers on a one-to-one basis. Now, the ever-
connected traveler carries around a personal interaction opportunity at all
times in the form of a smartphone. 97 percent of travelers are carrying a
mobile device when they travel, with 81 percent of those devices being
smartphones.2 Mobile is now the fourth touch-point, having become fully
proliferated in the marketplace, there has never been a greater
opportunity to aggregate data across the interaction phases to see the full
view of each customer. In addition to revealing strategic insights into
customer buying patterns, a 360-degree view also helps equip front-line,
customer-facing employees with the right information to offer an optimal
customer experience within the appropriate context.

Neffenger sworn in as TSA administrator, warns of
diffuse threat was sworn in Monday as the new head of the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) amid the agencys reevaluation of airport security bringing banned items through following revelations of undercover agents
.checkpoints Neffenger, the former vice commandant of the US Coast Guard, becomes the
sixth administrator in TSAs history. He told a packed room at TSA headquarters and a based strategies-riskin Arlington, Virginia that he will be guided by
multi-layered approach to aviation security. He emphasized that aviation remains a target and that the threat is more decentralized and diffuse than ever before. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Jeh Johnson, who swore in
fairly 70 (IG) had conducted the DHS inspector generalNeffenger, said discreet tests at airport checkpoints in which undercover agents attempted to bring banned items past screeners. Johnson noted that IG agents have the benefit of insiders knowledge and dont pass through all layers of security. Nevertheless, he said, the results were completely unsatisfactory and Johnson has ordered back to basics training for all TSA officers. TSA is now implementing this in a phased and layered manner and it will be completed by the end of September, Johnson said. Among a wide range of TSA practices under review, Johnson said the process
of managed inclusion, in which some passengers who are not members of the Check lanes, is being -are sent to Pre Check expedited screening program-Pre
reevaluated, in part because some Pre-Check lines are becoming too long. Were looking at this right now and we want to arrive at a thoughtful balance, Johnson said during a press conference following Neffengers swearing in ceremony. I do believe this is an issue that must be studied. As weve progressed with TSA Pre-Check, which is a terrific program, weve seen longer and longer short lines. Johnson said his guidance to Neffenger is to be an energetic leader and not hesitate to think outside of the box, adding, We must continually and comprehensively evaluate and reevaluate what is best for aviation security. Neffenger said he aims to build a culture of adaptation that is able to rapidly deploy new concepts, adding, We will make the necessary changes, we will reassess old assumptions and we will make the hard choices.
