“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

• SUMMARY
Introduction – Clear Objectives
Most of airlines in the world working on a clear objectives and that’s come with clear targets which lead us to set a clear picture of forecasting process.Based on that, our objective is to develop a clear massage for top managements for the key performance figures of the airline, not just to compare month by month approach but to develop the right path ( time series ) in the future to set the right targets which consequently develop K.P. I for the airlines
K.P.I For Airlines ( Lufthansa Group )
• Key Performance Figures ( June 2014 )
K.P.I For Airlines
• K. P. I for Lufthansa Group:
FORECASTING

Evaluation Forecasting
Forecasting – Trend vs. Seasonality
Trend ForecastingTell us in which direction (Growth) of the historical data, and usually is a long term forecast.Seasonal ForecastingTell us the Seasonal, Cyclic shocks, we used it to define the forecasting Pattern
Trend vs Seasonal ForecastingForecasted Year of TREND
= Sum of 12 forecasted Seasonal Months for same year,
Model Constrains
Two Main Constrains to get a fair model:
R2 = Coef. Of Determination T. S. = Tracking Signal
R2 > 80%
AND
-4 < T.S.< 4
Max.& Min Signal Tracking Analysis
Accuracy Forecasting Matrix
• Case Study : ( Lufthansa Group )
Case Study : ( Lufthansa Group )
The Lufthansa Group is an aviation group with global operations and a total of almost 500 subsidiaries and associated companies. It consists of five business segments, whichbusiness segments, which encompass the areas of passenger transportation and airfreight, as well as downstream services: Passenger Airline Group, Logistics, MRO, Catering and IT Services. All the segments are market leaders in their respective areas.
Basic Data Base ( Three years data )
• 36 months data files
Forecasting
• Forecasting– Lufthansa Group - Passengers– Lufthansa Group – Flights– Lufthansa Group – ASK– Lufthansa Group – RPK– Expected Load Factor
Lufthansa Group - Passengers
Lufthansa Group - Flights
Lufthansa Group – ASK
Lufthansa Group - RPK
Expected Load Factor -2014
Reading In the Future
• Analysis:– Passengers: – there will be slight reduction in Passengers – Flights: - due to the presence of A380 there will be a
significance reduction in 2014, due to large capacity of A380 – ASK:- also ASK will tend to be less – RPK: - this factor will be stable, as LH will keep to serve their
markets – Expected Load Factor ( L/F ) : Since RPK stable and ASK will
slightly decrease. This will lead to increase the expected load factor.
Forecasting Accuracy Matrix • Forecasting Accuracy :
– RPK is fair as it is satisfies the constrains of the forecasting.
– Passengers is also fair as the mislead is denied by Max/Min T. S. Analysis
( errors are distributed on both sides of the trend line).– ASK is also fair as the
mislead is denied by Max/Min T. S. Analysis.
– Flights is also fair as the mislead is denied by Max/Min T. S. Analysis.
Summary• Most of Investors in Airline Industry are concerned for the
performance factors that’s Passengers, RPK ,ASK , and Load Factor. They evaluate them by comparing their values in past according to month by month approach.
• This presentation tilling us the future patterns for these factors, which consequently we can develop and forecast the expected Load Factor.
• This also will help the airline to set their targets, and developed the right KPI policy for measuring airline performance.
• The data is fairly fitted, with a minimum errors.
• The results shows that there will be slight decrease in ASK, with stability for RPK, THIS WILL LEAD TO INCREASE IN EXPECTED LOAD FACTOR IN THE FUTURE (2014).
