Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

Advertisement

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

Advertisement

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social

significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

Advertisement

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of

eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo

The plan is to beat off network competition and offer

greater service to customers with its joint venture with

ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind

and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes

Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North

American and Chinese markets and expects to announce

its second partnership this year ndash although it would not

reveal which airlines it is talking to

ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust

immunity for a partnership with United

rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important

marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer

Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the

world

rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have

the money or you can try another way through joint

venturesrdquo

The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous

attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current

groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is

metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams

which now work together to choose one airline over

another

tends to put those needs first before any alliances

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)

All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so

Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from

Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as

ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany

Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common

revenue and margin management and joint sales forces

and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT

systems are undergoing alignment

The first phase of the partnership started in December on

Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch

this summer

rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo

explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director

Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be

changed It was too much of a challenge there was too

much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo

The deal has been a year and a half in the making with

both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it

will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the

moment the deal focuses only on express and general

cargo because the airlines have different standards for

shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take

longer to align

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

Boeing 777X We have not yet determined the numbers

but we may need up to 20 airplanesrdquo Gebremariam told

ATW Monday

The evaluation started last month and will be finalized

after three months several Ethiopian media outlets are

reporting

In the meantime the Star Alliance carrier is preparing for

Airbus A350-900 operations as it is expects to begin

taking delivery of its first of 14 of the type from 2016

rdquoWe have already started the entry-into-service process

with Airbusrdquo Gebremariam told ATW on the sidelines of

the Star Alliance chief executive board meeting in New

Delhi recently adding the new aircraft will enable the

airline to grow

In 2015 he expects 10 more new aircraft for delivery

including two Boeing 777-300ERs rdquowhich are expected

for delivery in Mayrdquo

Last Sunday Ethiopian took delivery of its latest Boeing

787 on lease from International Lease Finance Corp

towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are

quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right

wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo

Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers

through a wider network and more non-stop flights one

location for drop off and pick up faster connections as

well as standardised processes

The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights

without the need to invest in additional capacity and

lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and

utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at

the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo

stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim

that since the launch in December they have carried 250

more shipments than they would have done separately

There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based

on capacity

rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get

additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties

feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality

means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo

The IT systems have been a key consideration for the

partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos

International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT

supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to

httptheloadstarcouk

(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to

work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy

system but would be able to work similar agreements with

carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ

or Mercator

Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner

rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in

handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the

pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr

Stormer

While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops

Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct

customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through

metrics

rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one

Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo

Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it

founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa

pulled out in 2009

rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo

said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it

was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it

was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was

no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline

business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

for customersrdquo

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and

Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence

ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and

airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first

before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining

The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week

with the secretaries of Commerce and

Transportation to complain about competitors from

the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that

Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars

in hidden subsidies from regional governments as

their business in the United States has surged

What did they want The very thing that airlines are

always whining about government regulation But

in this case on their behalf The Obama

administration they argued should start limiting

the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports

Its a bad idea If Delta United and American

Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers

they shouldnt be running to Washington for

protection Theres plenty they could do on their

own from using profits to improve their mediocre

service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by

offering to form partnerships

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

reporting

In the meantime the Star Alliance carrier is preparing for

Airbus A350-900 operations as it is expects to begin

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader

campaign by US carriers against international

agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation

markets free from government interference By opening

access to new markets and passengers the more than

100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US

since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For

example the number of overseas tourists in the United

States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first

Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at

airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and

Portland -- that never would have become international

gateways without the agreements

But US carriers have always argued that small countries

like Qatar benefit most from them because the US

market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of

being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies

(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf

carriers hotly disputes)

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding

that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen

skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines

havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington

DC suggests US carriers would like protection from

open competition in their home markets

That would cause more problems than it would solve At

a time when global aviation is booming and

countries around the world are signing open skies

agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest

growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its

own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US

aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US

air passengers who already face constrained competition

domestically

Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their

service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but

still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for

improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards

placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall

service while Delta United and American were ranked 49

53 and 89 respectively

httpwwwbloombergviewcom

(continue)

But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition

with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try

partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so

For years US carriers have formed alliances with

foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions

where they wouldnt otherwise have access

Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-

owned and subsidized China Southern That means a

Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the

United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to

any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China

Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both

carriers The US government has granted such

arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations

For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong

in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India

Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an

alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines

have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas

for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for

US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop

whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save

$52bn a year from budget

Australian Conservation Foundation submission

recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors

The federal government could save $52bn a year by

scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation

sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

families the Australian Conservation Foundation said

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise

cutting funding for science and environment With the

next budget the government has a clear choice will it

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage

pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo

The ACF has made a submission to the government on

how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says

the government could save over $34bn a year by

reforming its fuel tax credit scheme

rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to

the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is

required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for

mining and road transport over a three-year period with

better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report

said

httpwwwtheguardiancom

(continue)

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like

BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on

the diesel they use while car drivers and small

businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they

buyrdquo

It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits

claimed from 2015-16 onwards

rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed

could help to support smaller rural and regional

businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as

proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report

said

Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

another $13bn the ACF estimates

rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

promoting a more polluting mode of transport while

inhibiting the development of alternatives These

concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

said

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil

and gas sector will save a further $490m

Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation

for assets over a shorter period than other

industries The ACF wants this special treatment

axed

A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said

rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation

Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are

considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo

The ACF proposes a number of spending measures

that it said would benefit the economy and the

environment concurrently

They include the expansion of the Indigenous

rangers program and the creation of a threatened

species recovery fund

rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for

more investment to protect natural systems that are

essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of

life such as water catchments and safeguard loved

species and places of cultural and social
