Analysis Power of suppliers – High Dominated by two major suppliers, Boeing and Airbus Possibility of vertical integration of supplier is low Power of buyers – High There is low product differentiation across airlines Consumers are price conscious Competitive Rivalry – High Intense price competitions, multiple airlines offers the same routes and services Airlines need to compete on additional services and quality of services offered Availability of Substitutes – Low The distance covered by long-haul flights are not feasibly achieved by any other means currently Threat of New Entrants – Low High competition, low industry concentration, mature industry life cycle, capital intensity, heavy regulation, high technology changes all act as barriers to entry Future Outlook Growing demand Traffic growth expected to increase in alignment with improving economic conditions, namely, world GDP Future Outlook Diversifying market Less concentration on North America and Europe
