Types of BudgetsIncremental
Budgeting
Increase on the
previous year
budget to a % or
on a fixed value
and converting it
to the next years
budget.
Zero Based Budgeting
Process of building up the budget as fresh from 0 by evaluating the socio-economical, business conditions, find out alternatives to arrive on a real time expenses or revenue.

How Airline
Budget DiffersAirline Budget is slightly different from the budgets of other business types. Basically the numbers are purely statistics, %, and available resources.

Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB)
Zero based budgeting is a technique of planning & decision making which reverses the working process of traditional budgeting.
In traditional incremental budgeting, departmental managers justify only increases over the previous year budget & what has already been spent is automatically sanctioned.
By contrast, in zero-based budgeting, every department function is reviewed comprehensively & all expenditures must be approved, rather than only increases
No reference is made to the previous level of expenditure. Zero-based budget requires the budget request be justified in complete detail by each division manager starting from the zero-base.
The zero-base is indifferent to whether the total budget is increasing or decreasing.

Advantages of ZBB in Airlines
![Page 7: Airline Budgeting](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071710/55a5808f1a28ab4c618b4724/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Technological Changes
Aviation is a field of advanced technology .
Automation brought huge amounts of reduction in
manual tasks. High tech equipments & services are
added to operations & infrastructure. This will
change the behavior of operating costs.

Cost Effective Alternatives
Many cost effective alternatives are
available in airline operations. IN ZBB,
Business Managers will prompt to think
cost effective alternatives.

Changes in the Economical
Conditions
While thinking about ZBB, department
Managers can consider the possible
socio-economical conditions.
• Air transport drives economic & social progress
• It connects people countries & cultures
• It provides access to global markets
• It generates trade & tourism
• It forges links between developed & developing
nations.

Activity Based Cost (ABC)
Analysis
During ZBB, in order to justify the expenditures business,
managers will run through the “activities” through which we can find out the items of high cost impact & the method of
controlling the cost.

Advantages to ABC systems
used in other Businesses
• Link operating behavior to Product & Customer segment cost
• Support existing & new product pricing decisions
• Report consistent & reliable profitability results by product

Base of Airline Budget Process
•Blue Print of future operation. First step toward Budget.
•Frequency of operation, type of A/C used, available seats for sale, capacity to carry cargo available on it.
Operating Plan
•Revenue projections based on the available seats & expected load factor with an average cost @ ticket @ class @ section
•Revenue adjustments from the Customer Loyalty programs
•Ancillary revenue from onboard sales, souvenir shops, etc.
Revenue Projection
•CAPEX commitments such as A/C purchases, pre-delivery payments, Engine purchases, Rotables, spares, stocks, etc.
•CAPEX are HUGE numbers therefore have a big impact on Budgets
Capital Committments

ABC OVERVIEW
Airlines have a highly efficient network of
shared assets that constantly adjusts to
meet demand
Resources are shared across product lines
making it difficult to identify unique cost
differences
Analysis of pax market segments provide
a framework to answer such questions as:
THE CHALLNEGE

Insights from ABC system support
many current applications
View of cost & profitability of a division by product across the network.
Activity based forecasting tointegrate financial business plans
with profit objectives.
Database of cost information for internal cost comparison analysis.
Tool to ensure appropriate pricing.
Monitoring System to track performance by customer & account rep.
Data mining techniques to segment customers

Budgetary Control
Budgets without proper budgetary control
have no use!
Monthly variance analysis should be
forwarded to the cost centre managers
to explain the variances.
Considering the recurrent changes in the
airline operations, it will be good to have
periodical budget reviews.

COST UNDERSTANDING
CONCLUSIONIn todays competitive market, companies will not survive without a firm understanding of product cost.
Cost is measured at a fine level of detail.
Detailed work measurement standards encourage improvements.
Combining cost detail & work measurement is a leading edge of ABC analysis.
Allows airline to accurately measure financial performance & make effective decisions in pricing, cost control, quality improvement, reengineering, forecasting, & customer relationship management.
