 Keynote: IATA State of the
Industry
Giovanni Bisignani, Director General & Chief
Executive Officer, IATA
Giovanni Bisignani
Istanbul, March 2011

To represent, lead and serve the airline industry

Air cargo – connecting the world
We are a $68 billion industry
Transporting 35% by value of all
goods traded internationally
This cannot be achieved
by airlines alone
Governments, customs
authorities, freight
forwarders
and suppliers
Governments, customs
authorities, freight
forwarders
and suppliers
Governments, customs
authorities, freight
forwarders
and suppliers
are critical
partners in the
value chain
 We must all
be focused
on serving
the needs of
our common
customer:
The shippers
 Aviation is
shell-shocked
and fragile
We made some
money last year
$16 billion
We made some
money last year
$16 billion

…it was just

a 2.9% margin
After a decade in which
we lost $50 billion
After a decade in which
we lost $50 billion

any number
that was not
red was
a major
achievement
Our outlook for 2011:
Our outlook for 2011:
As oil prices rise
profits will fall
Assuming an average
oil price of $96 p.b.

 Profits will
plummet 46%
 To $8.6 billion
 A pathetic
1.4% margin
It could have
been much
worse
The global
economy
continues
to improve
 GDP growth
forecasts have been
upgraded to 3.1%
 We expect cargo
to grow 6.1% to
46.2 million freight
tonnes
 We see yields
improving by 1.9%
There are risks even
to this weak forecast
 With a 1.4%
margin there
is no buffer to
withstand a shock
We must shore up the
competitiveness
of this industry
 IATA is playing
a role
 We are keeping
your money safe
 Our financial
systems settle
$300+ billion p.a.
 2010: CASS
handled $29 billion
 With a success
rate of 99.994%
Another important IATA role
is to improve competitiveness
 Since 2004 IATA achieved
over $55 billion in savings
 $15.9 billion
savings: new
routes and more
fuel efficient
operations
 $2.5 billion:
operational costs
 $19.1 billion:
infrastructure
user charges
 $17.6 billion:
Simplifying the
Business
These successes were team
efforts that benefitted
the entire industry
Safety
Safety is our #1 priority

…and we are
delivering results
Hull loss rate for 2010
was the lowest in
aviation history
 1 accident for every
1.6 million flights
 IATA carriers out-
performed the
industry
 IATA carriers:
1 accident for every
4 million flights
 The IATA
Operational
Safety Audit
(IOSA) has
played a
big role
 All IATA carriers
have met its 967
standards and
recommended
practices
 And are on the
IOSA registry
IATA Safety Audit for Ground
Operations (ISAGO) sets a
global standard
IATA Safety Audit for Ground
Operations (ISAGO) sets a
global standard

 That will help

us mitigate the
$4 billion cost
of the 11% of
accidents that
occur on the
ground
IATA Safety Audit for Ground
Operations (ISAGO) sets a
global standard
 95 ISAGO
registrations
 Covering 58 ground
handling service
providers
 At 83 airports
The safe handling of dangerous
goods is a paramount
responsibility
The latest advancement
is the web-based
EasyDGR product
 An emerging risk
that we must address
The proliferation
of internet-based
commerce

 Individual sellers
are not professional
shippers
 They do not
know their
responsibilities
 They have listened
to our concerns
 But have not taken
any action
Our other top priority
is security
There remains
a real threat
With collaboration
government intelligence
is a critical and effective
component of our defenses
I congratulate governments
 On working with industry to deliver an
effective and targeted response
 The relationship
with Secretary
Napolitano of the
DHS is driving
positive change
Industry and all
governments must
work together to
secure air cargo
The reality
 Saying ‘no’ or
‘impossible’ only
excludes us from
the debate

Global Press Briefing 14 December 2004

IATA is taking
the lead

 To engage
governments
 With our
knowledge,
expertise and
solutions
IATA will be co-sponsoring
a paper at ICAO
 Effective cargo security
must be based on a
combination of 3 measures
1 We must take a
supply chain
approach
 A layered
approach
Secure Freight initiative
 A template for industry and governments
 To work together in countries where
such programs don’t exist
2010: a pilot in Malaysia
 Adopting Secure Freight in 2 other
countries a target by end 2011
 The UAE will be one of those countries
Secure Freight
 Should be driven by government and
industry co-operation
 On investment, processes, technology
and risk assessment
2 We need governments to
certify better screening
technology
We do not advocate
100% screening

 We need the
technology to
screen pallets and
oversize items
 Governments must
co-operate on
mutual recognition
of standards
3 We must make better use
of electronic information
Governments must understand
e-freight’s capabilities
e-freight

 20 documents we have
converted to electronic
format
 Give a clear picture of
who is shipping what
and where
E-freight message standards:
a security declaration

 A clear picture of
who has screened
what and where
The catalyst for
more extensive
use of e-freight
 Including outbound
processing and
risk assessment
IATA Board of Governors has
given us clear targets

 10% e-freight
volumes by the
end of this year
 By 2015 the goal
is 100%
We began e-freight
in 2004
We achieved 100%
e-ticketing in
48 months
E-freight by the
end of 2010

 We had countries
representing 80%
capability
 But only 2.8%
penetration
 Most governments
have now implemented
legislation
 To recognize
electronic
documentation
 Thailand, Indonesia,
Russia and Vietnam
still need to ratify
the Montreal
Convention 99
The $4.9 billion
savings that
100% e-freight
will bring
The $4.9 billion
savings that
100% e-freight
will bring

…are critical
to making this
a sustainable
business
If we can be faster
and cheaper
 If we can be faster
and cheaper

We need to get it done

A major achievement
was the e-air waybill
 Developed in co-operation
with FIATA
 Cathay Pacific
only accepts e-air
waybills for shipments
originating in Hong Kong
 In Amsterdam freight
forwarders using e-air
waybills bypass the
documentation center
 In South Korea freight
is dispatched as soon
as the e-air waybill is
received
Hundreds of
freight forwarders
are experiencing
savings with
paperless freight
 We know it works
 The network is there
 The cost savings
are being realized
 Expectations have
been set with
aggressive targets

…now it is up
to all of us
 Shippers should
demand e-freight
convenience and
quality
 Governments must
make e-freight a
customs and
intelligence
requirement
 Freight forwarders
and airlines should
target the cost
savings and service
efficiency in their
business plans
Developed
our industry’s
first quality
standards
My vision:
evolve to
global
quality
standards
by end-2011
Cargo is
Cargo is a competitive industry
 98% goes by sea, 2% by air
 We handle the high value goods – 35%
 If our 2% volume increased by just 1%?
The only way
to do it
…is by improving
competitiveness
Customers paying a premium
 Demand quality
Customers paying a premium
 Demand quality
 They want to know that their shipments
are on time
…if not?

 They need to know when they will

arrive
 Basic good business practice
 The air cargo industry must implement
We are partners in an
industry that must change
Over the last 40 years
we earned a margin of 0.1%
Our industry
is weak
 The big changes
needed to become a
sustainable industry

Professor

We will present
a vision for the
future at our
next AGM
 Cargo will be a
key component
of that future
 The need for
cargo to change
in the near term
is critical
IATA’s cargo agenda

 Catch-up on using
technology
 Improve safety
and security
 Implement quality
standards
Success will
only come with
collaboration
This symposium
must not just be
a talking shop
We need
actions and
commitments
