Step 1: Obtain Macro Economic, Air Traffic, Competition, Governance and Operational Cost data for each country.
Step 2: Assign Score; Best in Category country is assigned a 10.0 score; scores of other countries are assigned a score relative
to the Best in Category country.
Step 3: Add up all scores per the weighting of each category to calculate a final score for each country.

Evaluate current near-term operational constraints at
Hub (airspace, aircraft movements during peak hours,

the introduction of new flights.
Analyse Airline s capability in consistently delivering

Focus on time of day changes to maximise number of

Business Plan Development
Business plan is driven by the new network, fleet, and
alignment of commercial and operational functions
including revenue and cost forecast ..
Based on the revenue and cost forecast conducted
above, create a five-year operating profitability and
profit margin forecast of the airline is developed.
This will include estimate of capital expenditure and
working capital for the start up period
Sensitivity analysis is executed for the most important
drivers in the model, such as fleet size, load factor,
yields, price of fuel, etc
Identify key revenue and cost drivers and develop risk
scenarios that test the assumptions upon which they
are based to understand the extent to which the
business is sensitive to these assumptions.
To deliver the business model changes, an overall
migration plan will be developed. This will be
complemented with specific improvement initiatives and
projects.
