Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage

Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their

air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax

The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)

Scrapping the special treatment of assets in the oil
and gas sector will save a further $490m
Oil and gas companies can claim now depreciation
for assets over a shorter period than other
industries The ACF wants this special treatment
axed
A spokesperson for the treasurer Joe Hockey said
rdquoWe have received the Australian Conservation
Foundationrsquos pre-budget submission and are
considering it as part of the usual budget processrdquo
The ACF proposes a number of spending measures
that it said would benefit the economy and the
environment concurrently
They include the expansion of the Indigenous
rangers program and the creation of a threatened
species recovery fund
rdquoOn the spending side there is an urgent need for
more investment to protect natural systems that are
essential to Australiansrsquo livelihoods and quality of
life such as water catchments and safeguard loved
species and places of cultural and social
significancerdquo OrsquoShanassy said

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe

cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call

She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

Air freight alliance with ANA takes off full of
eastern promise for Lufthansa Cargo
The plan is to beat off network competition and offer
greater service to customers with its joint venture with
ANA Cargo being the first air freight alliance of its kind
and set to be followed by others on specific tradelanes
Lufthansa Cargo has expressed interest in both the North
American and Chinese markets and expects to announce
its second partnership this year ndash although it would not
reveal which airlines it is talking to
ANA Cargo meanwhile has applied for antitrust
immunity for a partnership with United
rdquoWe want to build more joint ventures in other important
marketsrdquo said Peter Gerber CEO of Lufthansa Cargo
rdquoThe ventures are one possible strategic answer
Consolidation is now not possible in most parts of the
world
rdquoOr you can grow organically like Emirates if you have
the money or you can try another way through joint
venturesrdquo
The JV is significant in that it goes further than previous
attempts at air cargo alliances ndash or even current
groupings Key to the antitrust-approved agreement is
metal neutrality with no incentive for the two sales teams
which now work together to choose one airline over
another
tends to put those needs first before any alliances
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)
All routes within the JV area are sold as one network so
Lufthansa Cargo can offer customers direct routes from
Tokyo to London and Paris on ANA aircraft as well as
ANArsquos and its own routes into Germany
Rates and surcharges are unified there is a common
revenue and margin management and joint sales forces
and strategies Warehouses handling facilities and IT
systems are undergoing alignment
The first phase of the partnership started in December on
Japan to Europe with the reverse routing set to launch
this summer
rdquoWe thought we could start it in both directionsrdquo
explained Lufthansa Cargorsquos Michael Stormer director
Japan and Korea rdquoBut too many processes had to be
changed It was too much of a challenge there was too
much training to be done and IT support wasnrsquot readyrdquo
The deal has been a year and a half in the making with
both sides keen to ensure it works properly As a result it
will take longer to phase in different products ndash at the
moment the deal focuses only on express and general
cargo because the airlines have different standards for
shipments such as pharmaceuticals which will take
longer to align
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)rdquoWe will start with the easy ones step-by-step and move
towards harder ones laterrdquosaid Mr Stormer rdquoThere are
quality-related issues and if we failed to get them right
wersquod ruin our own business We need more preparationrdquo
Both organisations say the deal will benefit customers
through a wider network and more non-stop flights one
location for drop off and pick up faster connections as
well as standardised processes
The airlines gain a wide customer base more flights
without the need to invest in additional capacity and
lower feeder costs There is also greater sharing and
utilisation When Lufthansa had a capacity shortage at
the end of last year owing to a pilotsrsquo strike ANA Cargo
stepped in to offer additional space The carriers claim
that since the launch in December they have carried 250
more shipments than they would have done separately
There is a complex revenue-sharing arrangement based
on capacity
rdquoBoth parties want to generate growth jointly and get
additional revenuesrdquo explained Mr Stormer rdquoBoth parties
feel treated fairly by this model and the metal neutrality
means it doesnrsquot matter who flies the cargordquo
The IT systems have been a key consideration for the
partnership ANA Cargo Lufthansa Cargo and Naritarsquos
International Air Cargo Terminal are all working with IT
supplier IBS ndash uniformity which has helped the parties to
httptheloadstarcouk
(continue)standardise the processes Lufhansa noted that it was unlikely to
work on a similar deal with any airline still using a legacy
system but would be able to work similar agreements with
carriers using new IT systems such as those offered by Champ
or Mercator
Lufthansa Cargo said it had a lot to learn from its new partner
rdquoThe Japanese perception of quality is higher than ours in
handling we can learn and improve there and that is in the
pipeline It will have a positive effect on customersrdquo said Mr
Stormer
While Lufthansa Cargo is proud of its quality and regularly tops
Cargo 2000 tables ANA is more focused on ensuring direct
customer satisfaction rather than defining its quality through
metrics
rdquoWe told them we achieve 90 in quality measuresrdquo said one
Lufthansa executive rdquoThey said lsquowhy not 100rsquordquo
Lufthansa has attempted a cargo alliance before WOW which it
founded in 2000 with Singapore Airlines and SAS but Lufthansa
pulled out in 2009
rdquoThe problem with WOW was that there was no joint cash boxrdquo
said Mr Stormer rdquoWe still had to sell our own capacities and it
was used as an extension of the network or extra capacity but it
was only used for cargo not on our own flights And there was
no alignment on the IT or handling ndash so just normal interline
business It was a marketing tool which had no real advantage
for customersrdquo
Partnerships can win or lose for the airline cultures involved and
Singapore Airlines is known in the industry for its independence
ndash it takes its position as national airline very seriously and
airlines have reported that it tends to put those needs first
before any alliances

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
said

US Airlines Should Quit Whining
The CEOs of three big US airlines met last week
with the secretaries of Commerce and
Transportation to complain about competitors from
the Persian Gulf Their main accusation was that
Gulf carriers have been receiving billions of dollars
in hidden subsidies from regional governments as
their business in the United States has surged
What did they want The very thing that airlines are
always whining about government regulation But
in this case on their behalf The Obama
administration they argued should start limiting
the access that Gulf carriers have to US airports
Its a bad idea If Delta United and American
Airlines are truly concerned about Gulf carriers
they shouldnt be running to Washington for
protection Theres plenty they could do on their
own from using profits to improve their mediocre
service to burying the hatchet with Gulf carriers by
offering to form partnerships
httpwwwbloombergviewcom

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on

The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom

OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates

tariff exemption are costly and distortionary

Ethiopian Airlines is evaluating the Airbus A350-1000 and
the Boeing 777X as it considers further widebody order
plans CEO Tewolde Gebremariam has confirmed to ATW
rdquoWe are evaluating both the Airbus 350-1000 and the
Boeing 777X We have not yet determined the numbers
but we may need up to 20 airplanesrdquo Gebremariam told
ATW Monday
The evaluation started last month and will be finalized
after three months several Ethiopian media outlets are
reporting
In the meantime the Star Alliance carrier is preparing for
Airbus A350-900 operations as it is expects to begin
taking delivery of its first of 14 of the type from 2016
rdquoWe have already started the entry-into-service process
with Airbusrdquo Gebremariam told ATW on the sidelines of
the Star Alliance chief executive board meeting in New
Delhi recently adding the new aircraft will enable the
airline to grow
In 2015 he expects 10 more new aircraft for delivery
including two Boeing 777-300ERs rdquowhich are expected
for delivery in Mayrdquo

Last weeks visit to Washington was part of a broader
campaign by US carriers against international
agreements that guarantee reciprocal access to aviation
markets free from government interference By opening
access to new markets and passengers the more than
100 of these Open Skies agreements signed by the US
since 1992 have generally been beneficial for airlines For
example the number of overseas tourists in the United
States has surged 68 percent to 32 million since the first
Open Skies agreement Even better theyrsquore arriving at
airports -- like Minneapolis Dallas-Fort Worth and
Portland -- that never would have become international
gateways without the agreements
But US carriers have always argued that small countries
like Qatar benefit most from them because the US
market is so large They also accuse Gulf carriers of
being willing to bend rules by accepting state subsidies
(an accusation that Emirates the biggest of the Gulf
carriers hotly disputes)
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
Last fall US carriers and their unions started demanding
that the US government change its standard from rdquoopen
skiesrdquo to rdquofair skiesrdquo Whatever that means The airlines
havent explained but last weekrsquos meeting in Washington
DC suggests US carriers would like protection from
open competition in their home markets
That would cause more problems than it would solve At
a time when global aviation is booming and
countries around the world are signing open skies
agreements (especially in Asia the worldrsquos fastest
growing market) the US would risk marginalizing its
own airlines That wouldnt be in the interest of the US
aviation industry It also wouldnt be in the interest of US
air passengers who already face constrained competition
domestically
Instead US airlines could start by upgrading their
service to the standard maintained by the luxurious but
still competitive Gulf carriers Theres plenty of room for
improvement In 2014 the Skytrax World Airline Awards
placed the three Gulf carriers in its top ten for overall
service while Delta United and American were ranked 49
53 and 89 respectively
httpwwwbloombergviewcom
(continue)
But if US carriers arent up for that kind of competition
with the Gulfs subsidized airlines they could always try
partnerships It wouldnt be the first time theyve done so
For years US carriers have formed alliances with
foreign airlines in order to extend their reach into regions
where they wouldnt otherwise have access
Deltas SkyTeam Alliance for example includes state-
owned and subsidized China Southern That means a
Delta customer can book a single itinerary from the
United States to a hub like Shanghai and then onward to
any of the dozens of small Chinese cities that China
Southern services Itrsquos proven to be a good deal for both
carriers The US government has granted such
arrangements immunity from antitrust regulations
For now at least the Gulf carriers are particularly strong
in markets where US airlines are relatively weak India
Africa and southeast Asia In that sense forging an
alliance would help both sides Other countries airlines
have already noticed the same thing Australiarsquos Qantas
for example has partnered with Emirates and Air
France-KLM has an arrangement with Etihad Its time for
US carriers to reach out to the Gulf And to stop
whining

Cutting mining and aviation tax breaks could save
$52bn a year from budget
Australian Conservation Foundation submission
recommends scrapping special exemptions and tax
credits for aviation oil and gas and mining sectors
The federal government could save $52bn a year by
scaling back tax credits for the mining and aviation
sectors rather than putting the budgetary burden on
families the Australian Conservation Foundation said
The ACFrsquos chief executive Kelly OrsquoShanassy said rdquoThe
last federal budget was widely seen as unfair and unwise
cutting funding for science and environment With the
next budget the government has a clear choice will it
keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report

keep letting Australiarsquos biggest polluting companies call
the shots or start listening to the Australian peoplerdquo
She said cutting rdquounfair handouts that encourage
pollution should be a no-brainerrdquo
The ACF has made a submission to the government on
how it can cut spending in the upcoming budget It says
the government could save over $34bn a year by
reforming its fuel tax credit scheme
rdquoAround 40 of the value of fuel tax these credits went to
the mining sector Full restructuring of this scheme is
required and should involve phasing out the subsidies for
mining and road transport over a three-year period with
better targeting of remaining concessionsrdquo the report
said
httpwwwtheguardiancom
(continue)
OrsquoShanassy said the credits allow rdquocompanies like
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to pay virtually no tax on
the diesel they use while car drivers and small
businesses are taxed 39c on every litre of fuel they
buyrdquo
It also wants a $20000 cap placed on fuel credits
claimed from 2015-16 onwards
rdquoImplementing a cap on the value of credits claimed
could help to support smaller rural and regional
businesses that may incur higher fuel costs as
proportion of total business expensesrdquo the report
said
Abolishing tax breaks on aviation fuel will save
another $13bn the ACF estimates
rdquoThe aviation fuel tax concession and the aircraft
tariff exemption are costly and distortionary
promoting a more polluting mode of transport while
inhibiting the development of alternatives These
concessions should be phased outrdquo the report
