1. ExecutiveSummary
Market factors favor inauguration of a new airline to meet the demand for
additional, higherquality passenger and cargo service linkingOIC countries
togetherwith the rapidly expanding markets ofWest and China, and
linkingOIC destinations together, via Western European hubs, to transAtlantic
andglobaldestinations.
Thisnewairlinewillbaseitsbusinessandmarketingstrategiesonachievinghigh,
andprofitable,loadfactorsthroughabsorptionofunmetdemandinthreekeyair
traffic categories: unserved and underserved routes on which high unmet
demandcurrentlyexistsorcanbe readilydevelopedservingkeynichemarkets
where demand is either unmet or poorly served and meeting peak traffic
demandsoncertainkeyregional,seasonal,andvariablerouteswhereveryhigh
load factors can be predicted despite existing but lowerquality competition, or
wherecompetitioncannotmeetthedemand.
In addition, the proposed new airline will be designed around, and operated
utilizing,themostuptodateelectronic,informational,andaviationtechnologies
toensurelowoperatingandmarketingcosts,maximumefficiencyindeployment
ofitsresources,andahighlevel ofcustomerserviceandconvenience.Anditis
this final element dedicating the airline, its staff, and its organization to
providing a high level of customer service and convenience, and efficiently
meetingtheneeds,wants,comfort,andsafetyofthepassengerthatwillassure
the proposed airline's rapid acceptance in the marketplace and its longterm
growthandsuccess.
Particularly in the post09/11/01 environment, experience in Europe has shown
that those carriers which can maintain a "meanandlean" operation while still
meeting the needs and desires of the traveling public, with the right fares, will
notonlysurvive,butcanprosper.
The six key characteristics leading to the success and profitability of this new
carrierwillbe:

Provision of highquality service on routes and in markets that currently


are either unserved, poorly served, or undersubscribed by existing
carriers,therebysettingbothanewtrendandanewpaceinairserviceto
andwithintheOICregions.
Employment of costeffective, uptodate regional aircraft that will be
sized right for the market and the route, leading to higher load factors,
reduced costs, improved efficiency and flexibility, greater passenger
comfort and satisfaction, and higher net profits. Outfitting these aircraft
withthe latestaviationtechnologiesandnavigationalequipmentwillhelp
ensure the highest level of reliability, punctuality, safety, and customer
satisfaction.

Utilization of the latest electronic and informational technologies in sales


and marketing reservations, ticketing and checkin scheduling and
resource planning cargo tracking and operational oversight. Such
techniques as internet marketing, reservations, and sales electronic
ticketing and checkin online quality control, resource planning,
operationaloversight,cargoandbaggage tracking,andcustomerservice,
allwillreducestaffingrequirementswhileofferingeaseofuseandgreatly
enhancedaccessby,andconvenienceto,thecustomer.
Recognition that not everyoneis geared for the electronicworld, leading
the proposed airline to provide a high level of nonelectronic service as
well, particularly to the many newer, lessexperienced travelers but
futureloyalcustomersfoundintheregion.
Ensuringafriendly,cooperative,enjoyable,yethighlyprofessionalfaceto
thecustomer.
Development and implementation of cooperations, associations, and
partnerships with other larger, more established, and highly regarded
airlines bothwithinandbeyondtheregiontoprovide anextensive range
of connections, through fares, frequentflyer mileage sharing, and other
passenger and client advantages through interline arrangements, code
shares,commonhubbing,andsoforth.

In short, the goal of this new airline is to be known to the passenger and the
cargo customer by its proposed motto: "Those who serve the people are their
leadersandweleadbyexample"
Primaryfinancialresultsanticipatedduringthefirstyearofoperationsinclude:

Averagepassengerloadfactorsinthe6080percentrange,dependingon
route and season, reached within the first year of flight operations, and
increasingthereaftertothe7590percentrange.
Revenuesapproaching15 millionUSDwithinthe firstsixmonthsof flight
operations, exceeding40 million USDby the end of the first year,90
million USDin the second year of operations, and nearly150 million
USDinthethird.
A grossoperatingmargin ofcloseto20percent achievedwithin thefirst
year of operations, reaching close to double that by the third year, and
with steady growth enabling rational expansion of the airline thereafter.
Even in the first year of operations, a pretax profit of2 million USDis
anticipated. This is applying a very conservative business model, and is
achieved on an initial investment of less than12 million USD, yielding a
returnon equityof 11.5percent. The accompanyingchart illustrates the
growthandprofitpotentialpresent.

A key element contributing to the success of this new carrier will be its
organizational and management team. Leading this team is CI Consultants, a

1. To establish and operate a newglobal airline aiming specifically at


linkingtheMuslimcountrieswiththerapidlyexpandingmarketsofthe57OIC
countries eventuallyconnecting these countrieswithchinaand Africa, and
linkingall thesedestinations, via Western Europeanhubs, to transAtlantic
andglobaldestinations.
2. To provide service and absorb unmet demand in three key traffic
categories: unserved and underserved routes on which high demand
currently exists or can be developed serving key niche markets where
demandiseitherunmetorpoorlyservedandmeetingpeaktrafficdemands
on certainkey regional, seasonal, andvariable routeswhereveryhighload
factorscanbepredicteddespiteexisting,butlowerquality,competition.
3. To implement an organizational and marketing strategy that will,
beginning in the first year of flight operations, achieve average passenger
loadfactorsinthe6585percentrange,dependingonrouteandseason,and
increasing thereafter to the 7590 percent range, thereby maximizing
revenuesandreturnoninvestmentwhileminimizingrisk.
4. To achieve revenues in excess of 10 million USDper quarter within the
first six months of flight operations, and exceeding 15 million USDper
quarter,bytheendofthefirstyear.
5.Toachievenetoperatingprofitsinthe2530percentrangewithinthefirst
12 months of flight operations, an annualized returnoninvestment of
approximately20percent by theendofthe secondyearof operations,and
steadygrowthenablingrationalexpansionoftheairlinethereafter.
6. To achieve the projected results starting with three midtolargesize
regional aircraft, growing to five by the end of the first year of operations,
similar to the 99passenger British Aerospace Avro RJ100 or 85 99seat
Avro RJ85 regional jet aircraft, obtained on either a drylease or purchase
basis supplementing those aircraft with larger, longerrange passenger
aircraft and cargo liners on a charter or wetlease basis to serve peak
demand andintermittent routes andperiods,as well as cargodemands,as
called for by the business plan and incrementally expanding the fleet size
and scope on a drylease or purchase basis to at least double its initial
capacity by the beginning of the third year of operations to accommodate
projectedpassengerandcargogrowthinthebusinessplan'soutyears.
7. To gear operations, and present a professional, serious, growthoriented
image from the outset, that will set the stage for reasoned, planned
expansion,mirroringgrowth rates projected for the first yearofoperations,
and that will enable the airline to extend its regional scope and, in future
years, to transition from its initial regional status into a larger continental
andintercontinentalcarrier.
8. As an element critical to achieving the airline's other key objectives, to
identify and develop key interline alliances, cooperations, associations, and
partnershipswithotherlarger,moreestablished,andhighlyregardedairlines

Mission

The OIC unites 57 states, from Africa to Asia and the Pacific, within one
framework of a single international organisation. Not all the states are
Islamic nations' some have very little Muslim population but all have
agreed to come together topool their resources together, to combine their
efforts,toshareexperienceandexpertise,andtospeakwithonevoice.
The proposed new airline's mission, simply stated, is to fill a niche in the
growingairtravelandcargomarketslinkingtheOICstatestogetherthrough
transportation developing relationships, trade and tourism between the
countries.
To achieve high, andprofitable, load factors by identifyingand serving key
routesandcitypairscurrentlyunserved,underserved,orpoorlyserved,and
where significant unmet demand exists and to set a new standard for air
service and professionalism both within the target market region and
beyond.
By utilizing the latest aviation, electronic, and informational technologies,
and by designing effective and efficient systems and building in quality
control from the outset, we aim to ensure the highest level of service,
operations, and safety, all based around the needs, wants, comfort, and
convenience of the passenger and the cargo client. This combination of
technology,serviceorientation,andqualityoversightwillhelpkeepcostsat

enable the airline to build solid, and crucially important, interline
arrangementsnecessaryto expanditsscope and customerattractionin the

In short, this airline wants to be known by its proposed guiding motto:

Intelligent, progressive, and aggressive marketing that


identifies the airline as a different kind of player, one that is
sharper and smarter, and with a higher level of professionalism and
operational standard than is the norm in the target region.

professionalpersonnel,caringforthe passenger and the passenger's

Additional important, though less critical, keys to assuring the airline's
successincludethefollowing:
Identifying, negotiating, and entering into, in the pre
operational stage and early on, beneficial associations,
cooperations, and partnerships with larger, more established,
highlyregardedcarriersbothwithinandbeyondthetargetmarket
region to offer interline arrangements, through fares, frequentflyer
mileage sharing, and convenient hubbing and longdistance onward
connections to passengers. Successful execution of this element of
the business plan is crucial to the overall success and growth of the
airline, and must be kept in mind in the organizational plan and
structuringoftheairline.
Establishing a high level of operational oversight and quality
control that will ensure that the airline always lives up to its
marketing commitments and fulfills the promise of a high level of
service, customer satisfaction, convenience, and safety, at a

4. There also is a fourth segment worth noting, and that is the fairly
significant charter market that exists within certain niche or seasonal
markets. This market includes charter flights between thirdworld or
developing countries destinations, such asAfrica. These charters are often
operatedbyindividualtravel agenciesorairlines, andoften arecategorized

There also are the vacation charters that operate from Western Europe to
these regions such as Kenya, and the other holiday spots part of the

The airline's strategy has already been adequately explained elsewhere in this
plan: target unserved and underserved markets, seek out niches and unmet

demand, and offer a higher level of service and a higher standard than the
competition. The airline will utilize technology to reduce costs and offer better
service andgreaterconveniencetothepassenger.In thissection we'll examine
how the new airline will go about cutting out its niche through its marketing
strategy.

5.1.

MarketingStrategy

The proposed new airline intends to cut out new territory as it goes about
marketing itself. While it will clearly serve the target markets ofthe OIC
countries,itwilljustasclearlybeadifferentkindofplayeronthefield,and
willseektobeknownnotonlyasaMuslimairline,butatthecuttingedgeof
theaviationbusinessinAsia.
The airline's emphasis on the latest information and electronic technology,
anditsstressoncomfort,convenience,safetyandcustomerservice,willbe
cornerstonesonwhichthemarketingstrategywillbebuilt.
The airline will utilize a combination of methods to achieve the recognition
thatitbothdesiresandneeds.Afairlylargeadvertisingbudgetisplannedto
buythe spaceandtime togetitsnameandmessageinfrontofthe largest
possible group of potential customers that it can. Given the crowded field
ofEasternregionalairlines,itisbettertocomeonlikealionthanalamb,or
youmaybelostintheherd.
The airline will also utilize public and government relations to good
advantagetoextendandsupplementitsadvertisingbudget.
There are a number of "hooks," aside simply from its newness, that the
airlinecanutilizetogetthemedia'sattention.Theairlineisopeningupnew
markets,and italsoistranscending the technologicalbarrierwiththelatest
technology in the business in Muslim countries, or anywhere. It has big
ambitions, but knows that it needs to serve the customer first to realize
them.Anditwantstoknowandserveitsmarketsbetterthananyoneelse.

little more to do things freshly and smartly than the more ordinary way of
doingthings.Anorganizationisnewonlyonceinitslife,sotheairlineshould
grab that opportunity and get all the attention it can at the outset. And it
needs to have both an adequate budget, as well as an outwardly directed
management,toachievethatend.Thenewairlinewillbecomeknownas
one where all the staff practice the motto, "Those who serve the
peoplearetheirleaders!"and"Leadingbyexample".

5.2.

SalesStrategy

Theairline's sales strategy will flow from its overall concept and marketing
approach. Mass marketing, but with a personal touch utilizing airline
employeesasspokesmenandwomentoexplainthat"Ihaveajobtodo,and
I do it everyday for you!", will aim to steer as many people as possible

the airlinemayalsowant tobeaccessible throughgeneraltravel sites such
as Travelocity, the more customers that can be encouraged to use the
airline'sownreservationsandticketingservices,thelessrevenuewillhaveto

Ereservations and eticketing, combined with echeckin, make the most
sense for any customers who have online access, and also for the airline
itself.But nonetheless,theairline mustnotlose sightof the fact that many
peopledonothaveaccesstotheInternet,ordonotcaretouseittoarrange
their travel, or perhaps just prefer a more personal touch, and so other
meansofaccessmustalwaysbereadilyavailable.
Theregionalandspecializedsalesandmarketingmanagers,as explainedin
the section on Personnel, will concentrate their effort on targeting specific

PersonnelPlan

Alongwithaircraftacquisitionandoperatingcosts,personnelcostsrepresent
oneofthetwolargestcostfactorsfacedbythenewairline.Additionally,the
airline's personnel will largely determine the success of the venture.
Therefore, it is crucially important to develop and implement an effective
personneloperationsandcompensationplan.
The Personnel Plan for the new airline reflects the stress on the use of
technology to reduce staffing and costs, and the concomitant stress on
customer service. Consequently, staffing is heavier (withindividual function
directors) in such areas as information technology and oversight of such
functionsashuman resources, flight safety,flight maintenance,andground
operationsthanmight otherwisebe thecasewithasmallerregionalairline.
Ontheotherhand,functionssuchassalesandmarketing,bookkeepingand
finance,andpersonnelmanagementarereduced,withtheassumptionbeing
that the effective use of advanced, costefficient informational technologies
in these areas will makeup for the reduced staffing, resultingin significant
costsavingswhileprovidingsuperiorresultsatlesseffort.
Itis assumed,basedonthe experienceof otherregionalairlinesinEurope,
that something on the order of 6070 percent of all reservations and
bookings will be made electronically, and such passengers will be ticketed
andcheckedinelectronicallyusingspecialelectroniccheckinkioskssuchas
thoseemployedsuccessfullybythe U.S.carrierContinentalAirlines,leading
tomajorcostsavingsinareassuchassales,reservations,andgroundcheck
instaffing,aswellasincommissionspaidouttooutsidetravelagencies.
Staffing in the sales and marketing area is aimed at targeted customer
contact to generate corporate and group business, rather than individual
sales, and to develop special marketing programs designed to generate
significant increases in both passenger and cargo business. Responsibilities
will be divided along both regional and functional lines, with three regional
sales and marketing managers (notionally responsible for Western Europe
andUSA,MiddleEast,andAsia&Africa)andtwotargeted,globalsalesand
marketing managers (one responsible for special sales aimed specificallyat
the peak traffic/special flights/holiday travel/charters market, the other for
aircargosales),reportingtoonedirectorofsalesandmarketing.Additional
personnel will answer customer inquiries and take reservations on the
telephone atcentralheadquarters,withphonecalls forwardedtothemfrom
throughouttheairlinemarketarea,andalsowillrespondtoemail/website
forwardedinquiries.
All keyfunctionalpositions throughoutthe airline,includinginthesalesand
marketing area, are backed up by professional support personnel, most of
whom will be crosstrained in different areas, so there will always be
coverage of all key functional areas as well as backup support when work
demandrequiresit.

In the groundservice area, the airline will utilize its own personnel to the
extentpracticalinordertoassureamoreconsistentlypositiveexperiencefor
the passenger. All major destinations will be staffed by airline personnel,
whileatsomesmallerandmoreremotedestinations,orwherelocalpractice
or requirement dictates it, ground handling and service may be contracted
outtolocalserviceproviders.

additional ground service personnel at key locations and to expand the
number of locations where the airline provides its own groundservice
staffing.
Again through the use of eticketing, echeckin, and ebaggage tracking,
groundservicestaffingrequirementwillbevery lightcomparedwithamore
traditionalorganization.Particularly giventhefairly light flight schedulingat
most locations and the convenient size of the projected aircraft, checkins

Giventheairline'smotto,"Wehaveajobtodo,andwedoiteverydayfor
you!", crosstrainingand crossfunctioningwillbe core elementsof thenew
airline's personnelmanagement approach. Everyone will be inculcated with
the spirit that she orheis personally responsible for thepassengerand the
client having a positive experience when in contact with the new airline.
Everyone,fromthepresidentondown,willbe familiarwith(andparticipate
in) virtually every aspect of the work and customerservice process (a
method employed successfully by the former PEOPLExpress and other
"peopleoriented"carriersandothersuccessfulservicebusinesses).Whileno
one will expect (nor want) a receptionist to fly the airplane, nor a sales
manager to perform engine repairs, nor for that matter a pilot or flight
attendant to tend to the bookkeeping, common customerservice functions
like checkin, gate monitoring, baggage handling, and answering customer
inquiries can and should be performed from time to time by any and all
available personnel. This process also requires, however, that personnel
receiveactualtrainingandexperienceinthesevariousareas,sotheydonot
becomemoreofahindrancethanahelp.
Even the airline's uniforms will project an image ofMuslim
professionalpeople doing extraordinary work to please and make the
passenger feel comfortable. There will be a stress on informality, utilizing
"Islamic and practical uniform" uniforms to again stress the airline's work
ethicandcustomerserviceorientation,makingbothemployeeandclientfeel
more at home. This approach also is in keeping with today's trend toward
greaterinformalityandequalityintheworkplace,andawayfromthestilted
authoritarianwayofthepast.
Finally, the proposed hierarchy and salary structure is designed to be both
economical as well as sufficiently attractive and competitive to enable the
airlinetorecruitgood,qualifiedpersonnel.Atthesametime,inkeepingwith

the overall ambience of the airline, it also stresses relative equality and
fairness in its structure. A good benefits package, consistent with, and
perhapsbetterthan,availableelsewhereintheindustryorrelatedindustries,
and the more abstract benefits of being part of a wellrespected, well
functioning,professional,winningteam,alsowillbeelementsattractinggood
employeestothenewairlineandkeepingthemontheteam.
There are only about 10paygrades provided for in the salary plan for the
entire airline, including executivelevel salaries, with jobs that may be
markedly different in terms of function, but similar in terms of experience
required,difficulty,andimportance,sharingthesamepaygrade.
Most subordinate grades within given functions are based on a set
percentage of higherlevel salaries within the same general function. In
addition,theplanforpayincreasesisstraightforwardandfostersclarityand
understanding, rather than anxiety and unhealthy competition, among
employees.
Everyone, across the board, from top to bottom in the organization, who
performs satisfactorily will receive a 10 percent pay increase at the end of
the first year of service (deemed tobe the most difficult),and a5 percent
pay increase at the end of each subsequent year of service (with
adjustmentsmadeonlyonthebasisofspecificacrosstheboardorlocalized
issueslikeinflation,currencydevaluations,andsoforth).
Unsatisfactory performance merits only one of two remedies: Dismissal, or

plan, is the possibility of offering a bonus to all employees, as a specific

UmmahAirways

This section of the plan offers the core elements for evaluating the financial
viabilityoftheproposednewairline.Bothintextandinchartsandtables,allthe
key elements are presented to offer a frank appraisal of the venture and the
opportunityitpresents.
Of particular importance is the following section which presents the key
"Important Assumptions" on the core cost and revenue aspects of the airline.
TheseassumptionsarebasedoncostfactorsinvolvingtheproposedAvroRJ100
aircraft,andassumedryleasingofnewaircraft(acomparisonisalsogivenfora
purchase option, although that option, as will be apparent from the numbers,
demands a much larger upfront cash outlay, and does not necessarily lead to
economiesofoperation,particularlyintheshortrun).
Amongtheassumptionsmadewerethattheairlinewillbeginoperatingwithjust
three99passengerregionaljets,withverylowloadfactors,beneath25percent
of capacity, and at fare levels that in all likelihood are lower than reasonably
expectedontheplannedroutenetwork.Theseassumptionsweretakentoensure
aconservativeapproachtothefinancialplanning,andtodemonstratethateven
withthese constraints theproposedairlinecanbeprofitableasearlyasthefirst
yearofoperations.
Italsowasassumedthattheaircraftwillreceivemaximumutilization,uptosix,
seven, or more segments per day. A "wave" or "W" route pattern, and
reciprocating or circular routes, was assumed, rather than simply a spokeand
hubroutepattern,toenableservicetomoredestinationsandtomaximizeuseof
the aircraft. A major feature of theroute planninghas been to enable business
travelers togoandcomebackfromdestinationsgenerallyinthesameday,and
certainly in the same week. Crew requirements and hour restrictions also were
consideredintheplanning.
Again,itshouldbestressedthatevenwiththeconsiderableconstraintsemployed
in the calculations, the airline can be expected to carry upwards of 300,000
passengersinitsfirstyear,andpossiblyuptoahalfamillionpassengers,andto
reach profitability within the first year of operations, with significant growth in
bothrevenuesandcashgeneratedthereafter.
TheImportant Assumptions sectionalso includes informationon the thirdprong
oftheproposed marketingstrategy,whichis toemploywetleasedorchartered
aircraft to serve highdemand regional, seasonal, and peaktraffic markets as a
supplement to the regular scheduled service of the airline. A conservative
approach also was taken with this segment, and again it was shown to be a
profitableareatopursue,althoughrelativelymodestparticularlyattheoutsetin
termsofoverallrevenues.

It is strongly suggested that the Important Assumptions section be reviewed


carefullypriortomoreindepthexaminationofthefinancialssinceitexplainsthe

premises on which the financials are based. It also should be noted that the
aircraftcostingsectionisbasedonasegmentapproach,withaircraftacquisition,
operating and crew costs, and some direct sales costs, as well as revenues,
apportioned on a "segment" basis. Note that some elements that go into the
segmentcostingarebasedonhourlycosts,extrapolatedtothesegmentlength,
and others are strictly on a "per segment" basis. The number of aircraft
employedare statedatthe top,ona"fulltimeequivalent"(FTE)basis,allowing
for variance in fleet size during the year as new aircraft are brought into the
fleet.

ImportantAssumptions

In addition to the general financial andbusiness assumptions presented in


the following table, the key parameters presented on the next page also
wereincludedasOperatingAssumptionsinformulatingthefinancialportions
ofthisbusinessplan.
Every effort was madeto be realistic inthese Assumptions,andif anything
they were formulated conservatively, particularly in calculating initial load
factorsand revenue yieldswhich, inpractice,shouldbeconsiderably higher
than offered here. Additionally, passenger and cargo fares were considered
tobeflatover the entireperiod coveredbythis plan tocompensate for the
possibility that additional competition could force fares to remain relatively
constantovertheperiod.However,theobjectiveofthisexercisewastoshow
thattheproposedoperationwillbeprofitableevenwithmuchlowerrevenues
than would normally be expected, and the numbers do in fact confirm a
profitableoutcome.
Additionally, expected net revenues from offering peakdemand special
flightsalsoarecalculated.Theyaresetapartseparatelyfromthescheduled
service revenues to show that both types of service and particularly the
more important scheduled service are viable and the airline will be
profitableevenwithouttheseadditionalrevenues.

BreakevenAnalysis

As the accompanying chart demonstrates, the breakeven point comesat a


relatively modest monthly passenger load, under 22,000 passengers per
month,whichrepresentsanaveragepassengerloadfactorofonlyabout40
percent witha fleetofthreeRJ100s operatingabout sixsegments eachper
day. It is anticipated that this load will be reached fairly early in the new
airline's life and, in practice, much higher loads into the 65 75 percent
range during the first year of operations can beanticipated based on the
overallbusinessandmarketingplansfortheairline.

Cashflowisprobablythefactorthatmakesorbreaksmorebusinesses than
any other, and it is even more critical to consider in a venture as capital
intensiveasisanairline.
Astheaccompanyingchartandtablereadilyshow,withcarefulplanningand
controlofresourcesandexpenses,cashflowcrisesshouldnotposeathreat
to the new airline. Even allowing for a 2 million USDup front deposit on
aircraftleases(whichwouldbechargedagainstoperationalexpensesas the
airline begins flying) and other significant upfront costs, as shown in the
accompanying illustrations, at no time does cash onhand become a major
issueduringthefirstyear,andevenlesssointhefollowonyears.
While an investment of about 11 million USDis modest by regional airline
standards,thefinancialandbusinessplanningdonehereshouldindicatethat
the venture is quite feasible in the market. Nevertheless, it would offer an
extracushionofsafetytoarrangeforavailabilityofadditionalcreditfacilities
orcashreserves,orequityinvestment,tobecalleduponlyasneededinthe
shortrunshouldcashdemandsoutstrapexpectations,immediaterevenues,
andonhandcashonatemporarybasis.
It should be noted that a 30day accounts payable repayment schedule is
included in the planning for the financials. However, a majority of the
airline's revenueswill come fromonline sales,withpayment bycredit cards
and generally rapid settlement, and also from ticket sales from travel
agencies that are required to make payments usually in half the accounts
payable schedule used in the assumptions for this plan. Given the large
fluxesofcash,eventhesepaymentmethodsallowforsignificantamountsof

indicatethatthis shouldposenosignificantproblemtotheairline's financial
managementorcashliquidity.
