Price of Jet Fuel

Fuel Update

On October 18 Air BP pumped 1.5 m gallons of jet fuel into aircraft at Dulles—a one day record……Five years ago we averaged 920 k per day

When remaining two tanks come on line, the airport will have over 38 m gallons of storage capacity. Dulles will then have more “on airport” fuel capacity than any other airport in the country

GREEN Initiatives

• Access to METRO• Expansion of centralized deicing pads• Exclusive use of polypropylene glycol products• BMPs on storm water management• State of the art fuel leak detection systems• Recycle 80% of construction waste• Dulles recycled over 30% of total refuse in 2007 (highest

ever), plans in place to significantly increase number• Lighting controls for energy reduction• Demand management electric meters • Low flow bathroom fixtures• Modern utility plants with reduced emissions

Airlines largest cost components:(per ATA news release 11/07)

• Fuel (25.4%)

• Labor (23.6%)

• Payments to regional partners (13.7%)

• Airports….about 6%

“The cost of running an airline is up 86% since 2000” (ATA Chief Economist)

Flyer Discontent

According to the 2007 Zagat Global Airlines Survey:

“Displeasure with U.S. carriers is growing overall, while international carriers continue to fare far better”

(7498 frequent flyers,19.7 flights per year)

Midwest was the top U.S airline for economy class, and Virgin America for premium class. Singapore

Airlines took top honors for both economy and premium services.

IATA’s Corporate Air Travel Survey in 2007: Self-service features that respondents (over 10,000) plan to use in the

near future

• On-line booking (75%)• On-line check-in (61%)• Printing boarding passes at home (58%)• Common use self service check in (53%)• Remote baggage drop off service (33%)• Post arrival assistance (28%)

Conclusion: Passengers continue to seek greater empowerment, autonomy and independence in determining their travel experience

-48-

Challenges To Aviation Growth

• Air Travel Congestion Results in Delays, Missed Connections, Cancellations, Added Expense and Political Backlash

• Aging Air Traffic Control Infrastructure Will Take Years to Modernize. Could Lead to Airport Slot Controls or Demand Management Systems Like Lotteries, Slot Auctions, Peak Period Pricing and Minimum Size Aircraft Requirements

• Quality of Customer Service in the Air and on the Ground is Frustrating Travelers. However, Price and Schedules Remain Largest Determinants of Demand

• Increasing Security Requirements by Immigration, Customs and TSA Discourages Travel to the U.S. and Irritates Travelers – “Hassle Factor”

• Environmental Concerns: Emissions and Noise May Increase Carrier Costs, Limit Growth and Lead to Governmental Programs Such As Europe’s Proposed “Emissions Trading Scheme”
