Global & Regional Economies
3
Global economy saw robust expansion in the past year Global growth estimate is 5% for 2004 and forecasted at 4.3% for
2005
Inflation appears to be a growing concern for some countries China takes measures to slow down growth for fear of inflation Despite multiple interest rate increases, inflation still seen as a
threat Energy cost increases are a continuing concern
Impacting consumer confidence
Global Economy Continued to See Growth in 2004
4
Fragile state of the upswing
Reliance on the US and China for global growth emphasizes a need for structural reforms in many countries Labor and product market reforms needed in Europe Corporate and financial restructuring needed in Japan despite
strong performance mid 2003 – early 2004
China and emerging Asia need greater exchange rate flexibility Countries would have greater monetary control Facilitate emergence of more dynamic economies Contribute to orderly reduction of global imbalances
5
Unemployment still remains a concern in many parts of the world
Geo-political environment still a threat to global growth Terrorist act or significant military action would
negatively impact current positive trend in growth Significant halt in oil production could ultimately
increase fuel cost to $80/bl
Fragile state of the upswing

World airlines see traffic and capacity recovery coupled with
financial pressure Yields have dropped 30% in the last 10 years
Business traveler has changed travel patterns Transparency of fares with increased use of internet distribution
Industry has no pricing power
Low cost carriers continue robust growth Overcapacity Increasing liberalization
Some airlines continue to face significant financial pressure On-going losses Increased debt loads Difficulty in accessing capital markets Dwindling liquidity

Rising Fuel Prices Impacting Industry
Global Production Crisis Political unrest in oil producing nations
Nigeria’s two oil unions threaten strike Iraq oil production continuously disrupted by oil well attacks Russian oil giant, Yukos, plagued with problems
Ever increasing demand for fuel Largest demand increase in 24 years China’s oil imports rose 35% in 2004 and forecast for 2005 is a
22% increase over 2004 “Fear factor” now a component of the market
Difficult to quantify but adds to the volatility Estimates are US$/bbl attributed to “fear factor”
Airlines spent 32% more on fuel in 2004 over 2003 Resulted in $62B fuel cost for 2004

Rising Fuel Prices Impacting Industry
Supply concerns resulted in an oil price rally to highest level ever with prices reaching record levels of over $56/barrel Most airlines had forecasted fuel prices at $28-30 a barrel for 2004 and $42-
$47 a barrel for 2005 2005 analyst fuel forecasts are $51/bl with 2006 at $40-$45/bl U.S. carriers need $36/bl fuel cost to break even Inability to hedge given airlines’ financial condition and dwindling liquidity
Difficult for airlines to manage a large cost that is so volatile Goldman Sachs recently said we could be entering a “super-spike” period
with prices as high as $105bbl Economy cannot support fuel costs exceeding $70/barrel
Governments will have to intervene Meanwhile, airlines continue to seek alternatives to adjust for fuel cost spike

Best hedged airlines* maintain a cost advantage over those with no hedging position In Europe, Lufthansa, Iberia, Air France and British Airways are
about 50% hedged Qantas is hedged for 70% at $31 until June, Thai Airways for 50%,
and SIA 45% at $41 Southwest has 85%of fuel requirements hedged at $26, and Alaska
has 50% at $29.87 Airlines not hedged are exposed to the higher cost of fuel
In North America: Delta, United, US Airways, Continental, American In Europe: Ryanair and Swiss hedges expired Many of Asia’s LCC’s don’t hedge at all
Plan to weather the storm
Hedging fuel costs has helped some carriers
* Indicates percentage of fuel hedged for Full Year 2005 unless stated otherwise
19
Many global airlines are just beginning to feel impact of fuel costs as a result of their strong currency vis-à-vis the US dollar
Airlines are implementing or increasing fuel surcharges to off-set fuel costs European carriers have been able to off-set 1/3 of fuel costs
through fuel surcharges Cathay Pacific increased fuel surcharge in May by 40% for
international and 35% for regional, while Japan Airlines and ANA saw 5% increases
U.S. airlines are added several small fare increases
Hedging fuel costs has helped some carriers

Airline Performance by Geographic Region
21
European Airlines Face Fewer Challenges
Source: Traffic & Capacity data is for AEA
AEA airlines estimate a break-even year up to an operating loss of between $500M in 2004 Much improved performance over 2003 loss of $1.5B and
$800M in 2002 In fact, the top European flag carriers earned a $319M profit in 2003
Traffic increased 9.0% in 2004 Capacity increased 7.3% for the year
Trunk carriers add capacity to maintain market share Yields continued to face pressure from low cost carrier growth
and price discounting from full service airlines Pressure from North America capacity plans and aggressive fares LCCs compete against each other for market share Are there too many low cost carriers in Europe?
Eastern European states’ admission to EU fuels growth Despite some failures, new ones are continuously emerging
Note: Top flag carriers include Air France Group, British Airways, Alitalia, Iberia, Lufthansa, SAS

North American Aviation Continues to Face Challenges
U.S. Major airlines post a net loss of $5.5B in 2004 Losses of $30B from 2001 through 2004 Progress in cost reduction initiatives wiped out by increasing fuel costs
Labor has provided approximately 75% of savings in bankruptcies and restructurings
Despite an increase in revenues, yields are still down Analysts forecasting losses of $5B in 2005 and $1.1B in 2006
U.S. traffic increased 14.2% in 2004 Low fares stimulate demand but weighs on yields
Capacity was up 8.1% for the year US trunk carriers plan to switch capacity from domestic to international
routes as these yields are improving LCC’s expand domestic network as they venture into major airports

LCC Growth and Industry Impact
29
LCCs continue to grow at a phenomenal rate
Concept remains popular and continues to grow While some emerging carriers do not survive, a large number of
new carriers continue to appear Strong LCC growth expected for Eastern Europe Gol is a rising star in Latin America and Cintra’s Aerocaribe is
expected to be re-launched in May Concept is beginning to take off in China and India
LCC’s continue to gain market share in U.S Top 4 carriers* control 65% of LCC market share
Firm aircraft orders to expand capacity 52%
LCC segment expected to account for 45% of both domestic US and intra-European passengers by 2009
Asia is prime for LCC entry 26 newcomers expected in 2005

Laws of Darwinism applied to airline industry
“Survival of the Fittest” plays out as LCC’s battle for market share Rivals Ryanair and easyjet control 75% of European LCC market
Easyjet plans to increase fleet 62% over the next 3 years Ryanair plans to double in size in the next 10 years
LCC’s evolve as next phase includes plans for long-haul carriers Aer Lingus considers trans-Atlantic carrier Canadian carrier Zoom is running profitably after June 2002 launch SkyLink is next planning to operate from North America Hong Kong plans for Oasis Hong Kong Airlines and WOW Airlines
Some LCC airlines are down but not out… Volareweb* to resume operations in April after ceasing operations
in Nov. Wizz Air secures €25M assistance
…While we must wait to see if other airlines will be revived Jetsgo, Lagun Air, Air Polonia, V-Bird
Air Polonia and V-Bird are working on rescue plans to secure new funding and restart services
*Volare Group is resuming operations which also contains 2 leisure carriers
31
Airlines Develop Strategies to Compete with LCCs
32
Established/Trunk Airlines Are Responding
US major airlines deal with the threat by: Restructuring mostly through cost reductions, majority of
savings comes from labor Setting up own low cost operation Shifting capacity to more profitable international routes
Better yields due to the lack of LCC competition Fuel costs have eroded much of the progress
Legacy carriers in Asia-Pacific arena take LCC threat seriously as they branch out with their own budget airlines Budget airlines in the Southeast Asian region could easily grab
30% of the market in just a few years, as Virgin Blue did in Australia
ANA creates LCC entrant, Air Next launching June 1 APAA suggests that members prepare for LCC competition
33
Established/Trunk Airlines Are Responding
European traditional carriers have few choices in response to LCC’s Approximately 65 LCC’s are operating in Europe As profitable operation becomes more challenging, Chapter 11
protection from creditors is not an option Airlines forced to solve problems, merge or go under EU’s “One time, last time” rule allow countries to bail out their
carriers only once Latin America has emerging LCC’s with Gol gaining strength
Airline restructuring in the region has been the result of growing economies and increasing demand
Need for defensive strategies against LCC’s not yet addressed
34
Industry pressure impacting LCCs
Some restructuring may succeed as LCCs appear not to be indestructible Ryanair reports its first quarter loss in 13 years of operation JetBlue sees profit margin dipping Southwest offers all employees a severance package option
Would have posted past losses if not for aggressive hedging policy
Easyjet files formal complaint against Air France/KLM merger European trunk carriers protest LCC’s receiving government
incentives to attract low-cost business to their regions Estimated aid worth €10 - €17 per ticket
A few European LCC’s have failed, could more be on the way? Competition for market share anticipates “blood shed”
35
How is LCC Growth Affecting Industry?
LCC growth undermines attempts to maintain capacity discipline Rapid growth results in overcapacity - too many choices Keeping fares depressed Results in challenges for higher cost, established trunk carriers
Given differences in structure established trunk carriers can not become LCCs Network and fleet differences Seniority of work force Full service vs. no frills
Who will survive? Will depend on competition, capitalization and ability to sustain a
positive business plan “Survival of the fittest”
Consolidation Elimination of capacity
36
What Else Can Airlines Do?
37
Airlines Work on Programs that Strive for Profitability
Consolidation Mergers Alliances
Low Cost Divisions or Subsidiaries Comprehensive Restructuring Programs Court Assisted Restructuring Fleet Revitalization Programs
38
Airlines Recognize Efficiencies through Consolidation
Europe AF and KLM
Partnership is recognizing cost savings ahead of schedule Lufthansa’s acquisition of Swiss approved by shareholders
Mirror the AF/KLM merger where each maintains existing brand identity
BA and Iberia evaluating a similar deal British Airways currently owns 9%
SN Brussels and Virgin Express Transaction planned to be complete in 1Q05
Will consist of a joint holding company based in Brussels SN receives majority stake 70.1% and Virgin takes remaining
29.9% Continue to operate separate brands for up to 2 years
SAS plans to eventually acquire 100% of airBaltic and Estonian Air Take advantage of low operational costs are competitive with
established low cost carriers Currently holds 49% of Estonian and 47.2% of airBaltic
39
Latin America LAN to acquire state owned LAFSA as well as the brand and
route of a carrier in Argentina LAN will form a new holding company, Lan Argentina LAN has been in talks to acquire or form an extensive alliance
with Argentina’s Southern Winds which is in bankruptcy Talks broke off in June with small Argentina airline American
Falcon Already successful with LanPeru
AeroRepublica and COPA to develop an equity alliance Jointly develop common strategies and policies in all phases of
operations, finance and marketing Operate independently under their own managements and

point routes Improve competitive cost base Manage the portfolio of airline related businesses efficiently
Lufthansa’s “D-Check” program was launched in Spring 2001 and focuses on 4 main areas External providers Internal providers Production framework & processes Staff cost reduction through increased productivity
British Airways plan emphasizes the need to “Simplify the Business” Develop a high performing organization Deliver a competitive cost base Maintain the best UK based network and schedule

Several European Airlines Have Multi-year Restructuring Programs
45
North American Airlines forced to use bankruptcy court to reorganize costs
Several airlines have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy: United, US Airways (twice in as many years), Air Canada, ATA, Hawaiian, AlohaGoal is to eliminate or reduce debt
Vendors and lenders negotiate new agreements with airlines Process allows airlines to disregard contractual labor

Industry Outlook
47
Industry hopes for a profitable 2005 dwindling due to high fuel prices
World airline industry was hoping for a profit in 2005 Previous profit forecast of $1-2B now doubtful due to fuel costs Expecting revenues of $350B up from $316B in 2003
International traffic forecasted to grow 7.2% in 2005 and 6% in 2006
Recovery in Europe and the US will not be as robust as the rest of the world Near-breakeven results elevated by the strongly profitable low-cost
carrier segment Asia Pacific region continues to be bright spot
LCCs are moving into Asia-Pacific but increased demand can withstand the near term capacity growth

Demand returns but challenge remains in yields and financial condition
Capacity and traffic balance is key Carriers are adding capacity for fear of losing market share LCC expansion to continue
Overcapacity will keep yields down Deteriorating balance sheets will take a long time to
improve Fuel prices continue to have a significant negative
impact on bottom line Significant overall recovery not expected before 2006
2005 and 2006 will see continued major structural changes around the world
U.S. not expected to see any recovery until 2007
50
Revenue enhancement strategiesFew alternatives in this low fare, low yield environment
Too much competition Increased use of internet is a deterrent Increased code-sharing and reliance on alliances
Cost Reductions Labor will continue to be a target Fuel price volatility will affect timing of strategies Consolidation
What will airlines do to survive?
51
Impact of Industry Restructuring on Collective Bargaining
52
Restructuring will continue to focus on labor costs
Cost factor over which airlines have most control Business plans around the world all focus on “cost
reductions or efficiencies” Managements continue to be very aggressive in their
strategy to reduce labor costs Wage reductions are higher Productivity is a key goal – especially in competing
with emerging low cost carriers Nothing is sacred anymore
Pension costs are key target in North America and Europe
53
Management attitude toward labor is negative
Goal is to reduce wages, working conditions and benefits to lowest common denominator Even for those airlines that are profitable Use of expectation of deterioration in market share and
performance to target reductions If it doesn’t work the first time, they’ll come back with
full expectation that labor will give more Threat level increases Collaborative process less common
54
What can we do to protect our interests?
Stay informed Be prepared
Three step approach: analysis, direction, negotiation Financially
Challenge management to do their job: Business plans will not succeed if their sole focus is
cost reductions Pilot costs average 8-12% of total operating expenses Comprehensive restructuring is necessary
Challenge government
55
The Missing Link - Labor
A balanced approach to collective bargaining Pension reform Consolidation and labor protective provisions Consistent government policies
