Summary
• GDP growth and other macro indicators show overall improvement in
2017

• Passenger Traffic growth 2017 expected to slow, but will likely be higher
than previously forecast, with local exceptions
• Airline business model dynamic continues to evolve for a share of the
‘new’ profitability
• Aircraft demand remains strong, with most main new programmes sold
out till 2020
• Wider demand risk factors (war, politics, terrorism) continue to fission
A final thought
• Positive GDP Growth
• Profitable Industry
• Full Order Books
• Fuel drifting upwards, but relatively stable
• New aircraft technology coming on stream
