Russian delegation to file report on Hurghada Airport The Russian security delegation returns to Russia on Sunday after it finished its security inspection measures at the Red Sea’s Hurghada International Airport and will file its report to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the security conditions at the airport. The delegation, which includes experts in the fields of security, transportation and aviation, started the inspection measures on December 8. They checked the recent security procedures for the travel lounge, arrival terminals, passengers, travel bags and airplanes. The security devices used at Egyptian airports, in Hurghada, are the latest in the world of airports, according to the delegation of experts. According to officials at the Egyptian Airports Company, the government has started using 14 biometric fingerprint devices to control the airport‘s old and new buildings, the travel lounge, arrival terminals, and entry and exit doors. Egypt‘s Ministry of Civil Aviation said that the delegation has confirmed the security measures at the Egyptian airports are no less than those applied at Russian and European airports. The delegation said that they would file a detailed report on the latest developments in the Egyptian airports‘ security after their return to Moscow, stressing that their reports are indicative, but the decision on whether to resume direct flights between Russian cities and tourist resorts in Egypt is up to the Russian political leadership, sources added. Russia and Egypt have been negotiating the resumption of flights for months. Russia suspended flights with Cairo in October 2015 when a Russian passenger plane was downed over the Sinai peninsula after taking off from the popular tourist resort Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 people on board. Russia‘s largest airliner, Aeroflot, resumed flights to Cairo in April following the flight suspension that had been in place since late 2015. In January 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a presidential decree to resume flights between Cairo and Moscow, and both countries have signed a joint civil aviation cooperation protocol.

Oneworld prepared for Qatar Airways to leave but it is not giving up on trying to convince them to stay put
Despite the fissures in the global pact, CEO of the alliance Rob Gurney said in an exclusive interview with the Post that the group was ploughing on with its biggest expansion of member airlines in several years. Qatar Airways remained a member of the airline club as of the conclusion of the biannual Oneworld board meeting in New York last week, having not yet carried out its threat to quit, according to multiple sources who were present. The Gulf airline confirmed this was the case, in spite of its CEO Akbar Al Baker skipping the gathering entirely. Gurney praised the Gulf carrier as a ―terrific airline‖ but he made an impassioned plea for its member to stay. ―We think the alliance adds a lot of value to them. They add a lot of value to the alliance. We don‘t want them to leave, but at the end of the day, this has got to work for them; it has got to work for everybody,‖ he said. The Doha-based carrier previously gave a deadline of Christmas before it would make good on its promise to leave. Alliance insiders, however, expected formal notice to be given at the New York board meeting.

Asked whether he could keep the alliance together, Gurney responded: ―If they feel that there are elements that are not working so well for them, they have to make their own decision … And we‘re not saying, they make up their mind to go. We want them to stay.‖ Oneworld is the most recognised of the airline alliances in Hong Kong, with Cathay Pacific Airways one of its founding members. Rivals include Star Alliance and Skyteam, who have Singapore Airlines and Delta Air Lines as its top carriers respectively. African airline Royal Air Maroc last week said it would join the alliance as a core member, with China Southern Airlines poised to be the next to join. ―I don‘t think we are in an enormous growth spurt but there are enough candidates and prospects up there for us,‖ Gurney said, speaking of the alliance‘s biggest expansion push for several years. Another Oneworld initiative to add regional carriers to its portfolio so that member airlines‘ fliers can fly further also took off last week. Fiji Airways started cooperating with selected core alliance members, including Cathay Pacific. Alaska Airlines recently expressed interest in joining the same programme. ―As a general principle we don‘t talk about membership candidates but we have a very solid pipeline of candidates,‖ Gurney said. ―As that programme matures, we would expect to have six to eight airlines in it over time.‖

Oneworld member carriers engage in a basic form of cooperation as part of the alliance‘s rules and requirements. This includes recognising fellow airline‘s frequent fliers, offering the same benefits, such as lounge access and other types of services and customer support. If Qatar Airways does eventually leave, frequent travellers of fellow member airlines may lose out on the perks. ―We have had experiences of airlines leaving the alliance … we have a well-established process of how we handle these situations. We wait for them to occur but we can initiate them very quickly and the biggest focus is to make sure the customer is protected,‖ Gurney said of the impact on customers and minimising disruption.

Oneworld has tried to play diplomat with Qatar Airways and the other member airlines over the issues the Gulf carrier sees but the alliance may get punished for the issues which were outside its control, specific airline to airline, country to country issues. ―Ever since Oneworld was created, there have been issues of friction between individual pairings of members,‖ an industry source said, explaining that each knew they would inevitably compete against one another, citing how Cathay fended off Qantas launching a budget airline. However, it was up to airlines to pursue deeper cooperation where it made business or strategic sense, which went beyond the Oneworld membership. Some airlines did and some did not, but this is what the crux of the issue was for Qatar, the opportunity for cooperation but rather a lack of it, the source said. Qatar Airways owns a 9.99 per cent stake in Cathay Pacific. The Doha-based carrier has a fleet of 225 aircraft with more than 200 planes on order. It flies to 156 passenger destinations worldwide.

Cautious optimism extends into 2019 for air travel
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts the global airline industry net profit to be $35.5 billion in 2019, slightly ahead of the $32.3 billion expected net profit in 2018 (revised down from $33.8 billion forecast in June). Highlights of expected 2019 performance include: The return on invested capital is expected to be 8.6% (unchanged from 2018) The margin on net post-tax profits is expected be 4.0% (basically unchanged from 3.9% in 2018) Overall industry revenues are expected to reach $885 billion (+7.7% on $821 billion in 2018) Passenger numbers are expected to reach 4.59 billion (up from 4.34 billion in 2018) Cargo tonnes carried are expected to reach 65.9 million (up from 63.7 million in 2018) Slower demand growth for both passenger traffic (+6.0% in 2019, +6.5% in 2018) and cargo (+3.7% in 2019, +4.1% in 2018) Average net profit per departing passenger of $7.75 ($7.45 in 2018)

2 Lower oil prices and solid, albeit slower, economic growth (+3.1%) are extending the run of profits for the global airline industry, after profitability was squeezed by rising costs in 2018. It is expected that 2019 will be the tenth year of profit and the fifth consecutive year where airlines deliver a return on capital that exceeds the industry‘s cost of capital, creating value for its investors.
―We had expected that rising costs would weaken profitability in 2019. But the sharp fall in oil prices and solid GDP growth projections have provided a buffer. So we are cautiously optimistic that the run of solid value creation for investors will continue for at least another year. But there are downside risks as the economic and political environments remain volatile,‖ said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA‘s Director General and CEO. Performance Drivers in 2019 Economic Growth: GDP is forecast to expand by 3.1% in 2019 (marginally below the 3.2% expansion in 2018). This slower but still robust growth is a main driver of continued solid profitability. There are significant downside risks to growth from trade wars and political uncertainties such as with BREXIT, but the consensus view is that these factors will not offset the positive impetus from expansionary fiscal policy and growing business investment in major economies. Fuel Costs: The 2019 industry outlook is based on an anticipated average oil price of $65/barrel (Brent) which is lower than the $73/barrel (Brent) experienced in 2018, following the increase in US oil output and rising oil inventories. This is welcome relief for airlines which have seen jet fuel prices fall, albeit at a slower pace owing to the impact of low-sulfur environmental measures undertaken by the marine sector that have increased demand for diesel (which competes with jet fuel for refinery capacity). Nonetheless, jet fuel prices are expected to average $81.3/barrel in 2019, lower than the $87.6/barrel average for 2018). The full impact of this decline will be delayed due to heavy levels of hedging in some regions. Fuel is expected to account for 24.2% of the average airline‘s operating costs (an increase from 23.5% forecast for 2018).

3 Labor: Total employment by airlines is expected to reach 2.9 million in 2019, up 2.2% on 2018. Wages are also rising, reflecting the tightness of labor markets, and it is expected that unit labor costs will increase by 2.1% in 2019 after a long period of stability. Aviation jobs are getting more productive. In 2019 we expect productivity to increase by 2.9% to 535,000 available tonne kilometers/employee. Passenger: Passenger traffic (RPKs) is expected to grow 6% in 2019, which will outpace the forecast capacity (ASKs) increase of 5.8%, and remains above the 20-year trend growth rate. This in turn will increase load factors and support a 1.4% increase in yields (partially clawing back the 0.9% fall experienced in 2018). Passenger revenues, excluding ancillaries, are expected to reach $606 billion (up from $564 billion in 2018). Regional Outlook All regions, except Africa, are expected to report profits in 2018 and 2019. Carriers in North America continue to lead on financial performance, accounting for nearly half of the industry‘s total profits. Financial performance is expected to improve compared to 2018 in all regions except for Europe, where improvement has been delayed by the high degree of fuel hedging. North American carriers are expected to deliver the strongest financial performance in 2019 with a $16.6 billion net profit (up from $14.7 billion in 2018). That is a 6.0% net margin and represents a net profit of $16.77 per passenger, which is a marked improvement from just six years earlier. Net margin is up from 2018 (5.7%) as low levels of fuel hedging allows lower prices to impact immediately. Profits are further buffered by high load factors and ancillary revenues. European carriers are expected to report a $7.4 billion net profit in 2019 (down slightly from $7.5 billion in 2018). The expected net profit per passenger of $6.40 (3.4% net margin) is roughly a third the net profit per passenger expected to be generated by North American carriers. Intense competition is keeping yields low and regulatory costs are high. The region has recovered from the terrorist attacks of 2016. But in 2018 it suffered additional costs of $2 billion due to a 61% increase in delay minutes caused by air traffic control deficiencies. Looking to 2019, high levels of hedging in the region will mean that the positive impact of lower oil prices will be delayed.

4 Asia-Pacific carriers are expected to report a $10.4 billion net profit in 2019 (up from $9.6 billion in 2018). The expected net profit per passenger is expected to be $6.15 (3.8% net margin). This is a region of diverse markets, some of which are seeing strong growth from new LCC entrants while others are very dependent on outbound cargo from key manufacturing centers. Cargo revenue growth has slowed from the strong performance of 2017 but remains positive for airlines in the region. Lower fuel costs, low levels of fuel hedging and strong regional economic growth are supporting profitability in 2019 in this region. Middle Eastern carriers are expected to report an $800 million net profit in 2019 (up from a weaker $600 million in 2018). The expected net profit per passenger is $3.33 (1.2% net margin). The region has been challenged by the earlier impact of low oil revenues, conflict, competition from other ‗superconnectors‘ and setbacks to particular business models, leading to a sharp slowdown in capacity growth (after more than a decade of double-digit growth, passenger capacity growth was halved to 6.7% in 2017). The region reported 4.7% capacity growth in 2018 and is expected to slow to 4.1% in 2019, which together with restructuring is helping to generate a recovery.Latin American carriers are expected to report a $700 million net profit in 2019 (up from $400 million in 2018). The expected net profit per passenger is $2.14 (1.6% net margin). Economic conditions in local markets are only recovering slowly, as Brazil‘s economy emerges from recession, but Argentina faces renewed difficulties. The strength of the US dollar has added to airlines‘ challenges in the region by raising the local currency cost of key US$-denominated inputs such as oil and aircraft, but significant restructuring and joint ventures are improving performance. African carriers are expected to report a $300 million net loss in 2019 (slightly improved from the $400 million net loss in 2018). The expected net loss per passenger is $3.51 (-2.1% net margin). This makes Africa the weakest region, as it has been over the past four years. Performance is improving, but only slowly. Losses are expected to be cut in 2019 as fuel prices decrease. The region benefits from higher-than-average yields and lower operating costs in some categories. However, few airlines in the region are able to achieve adequate load factors to generate profits.

Air Transport's Economic Contribution Some key indicators of the benefits from increasing global connectivity include: The 2019 average return airfare (before surcharges and tax) is expected to be $324 (2018 dollars), which is 61% below 1998 levels after adjusting for inflation. Average air freight rates in 2019 are expected to be $1.86/kg (2018 dollars) which is a 62% fall on 1998 levels. The number of unique city pairs served by airlines is forecast to grow to 21,332 in 2018 (up by 1,300 from 20,032 in 2017), and more than double 1998 levels. The global spend by consumers and businesses on air transport is expected to reach $919 billion in 2019, up 7.6% on 2018 and equivalent to 1.0% of global GDP. Airlines are expected to contribute $136 billion to government coffers in tax revenues in 2019 (a 5.8% increase over 2018).
―Air travel has never been such a good deal for consumers. Not only are fares staying low, the options for travelers are expanding. Some 1,300 new direct links between cities were opened in 2018. And 250 million more journeys by air occurred in 2018 than in 2017,‖ said de Juniac.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG (FRA:LHA) Earns A Nice Return On Capital Employed Today we’ll evaluate Deutsche Lufthansa AG (FRA:LHA) to determine whether it could have potential as an investment idea. Specifically, we’re going to calculate its Return On Capital Employed (ROCE), in the hopes of getting some insight into the business. Firstly, we‘ll go over how we calculate ROCE. Next, we‘ll compare it to others in its industry. And finally, we‘ll look at how its current liabilities are impacting its ROCE. Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What is it? ROCE measures the ‗return‘ (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. Generally speaking a higher ROCE is better. In brief, ROCE is a useful tool, but it is not without drawbacks. Renowned investment researcher Michael Mauboussin has suggested that a high ROCE can indicate that ‗one dollar invested in the company generates value of more than one dollar‘. So, How Do We Calculate ROCE? Analysts use this formula to calculate return on capital employed: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ’ (Total Assets – Current Liabilities) Or for Deutsche Lufthansa: 0.15 = €3.7b ’ (€39b – €16b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2018.) Therefore, Deutsche Lufthansa has an ROCE of 15%.

2 Does Deutsche Lufthansa Have A Good ROCE? ROCE is commonly used for comparing the performance of similar businesses. It appears that Deutsche Lufthansa‘s ROCE is fairly close to the Airlines industry average of 15%. Separate from Deutsche Lufthansa‘s performance relative to its industry, its ROCE in absolute terms looks satisfactory, and it may be worth researching in more depth. As we can see, Deutsche Lufthansa currently has an ROCE of 15% compared to its ROCE 3 years ago, which was 8.6%. This makes us think the business might be improving.
االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم الشركة القابضة لمصر للطٌران
3 When considering ROCE, bear in mind that it reflects the past and does not necessarily predict the future. Companies in cyclical industries can be difficult to understand using ROCE, as returns typically look high during boom times, and low during busts. This is because ROCE only looks at one year, instead of considering returns across a whole cycle. You can see analyst predictions in our free report on analyst forecasts for the company. How Deutsche Lufthansa’s Current Liabilities Impact Its ROCE Current liabilities include invoices, such as supplier payments, short-term debt, or a tax bill, that need to be paid within 12 months. Due to the way the ROCE equation works, having large bills due in the near term can make it look as though a company has less capital employed, and thus a higher ROCE than usual. To check the impact of this, we calculate if a company has high current liabilities relative to its total assets. Deutsche Lufthansa has total liabilities of €16b and total assets of €39b. As a result, its current liabilities are equal to approximately 41% of its total assets. Deutsche Lufthansa has a medium level of current liabilities, which would boost the ROCE. What We Can Learn From Deutsche Lufthansa’s ROCE While its ROCE looks good, it‘s worth remembering that the current liabilities are making the business look better. But note: Deutsche Lufthansa may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with strong recent earnings growth (and a P/E ratio below 20). If you would prefer check out another company — one with potentially superior financials — then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.

Delta forecasts higher profits, revenue in 2019. Here's what's ahead for investor day Delta Air Lines on Thursday said it expects its profits to grow in 2019 thanks to higher revenue and a decline in fuel prices that ate into the sector's bottom line this year. Delta estimated its per-share earnings next year will range from $6 to $7, in line with analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv, and about 20 percent higher than the estimated full-year profit analysts expect for this year. It projects revenue growth of 4 to 6 percent, in line with expectations, and a 3 percent rise in capacity. The airline's executives will outline to investors on Thursday just how the most profitable U.S. airline plans to increase its bottom line as the sector has lagged the broader market for most of the year. Delta shares are up less than 1 percent since the start of the year. The shares were down 2.2 percent in late-morning trading. The Atlanta-based carrier's webcast investor day presentations begin at 8:30 a.m. ET. Here are some things to watch: Fares and routes Delta executives in October said important corporate and premium-class bookings were strong. But investors will be curious about what they look like moving forward as well as how prepared the airline is should demand soften, which could come with lower airfares to match.
االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم الشركة القابضة لمصر للطٌران
2 They will also be closely watching where and how many flights Delta is adding. Too much additional flying could lead to weaker fares in order to keep planes full. Delta last week said it expects revenue per available seat mile, a key industry gauge of how much money the airline is bringing in for every seat it flies a mile, to be up 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, at the lower end of the forecast the airline gave in October. Fuel and refinery Delta executives are expected to discuss how they're digesting higher fuel costs and when and whether a recent slump in energy prices will improve the Atlanta-based carrier's bottom line. A jump in fuel costs has eaten into the bottom lines at all airlines this year. However, strong revenue has helped Delta cover about 90 percent of the rise in fuel expenses, the airline said in a presentation it will detail during its webcast. Delta expects Brent oil prices of $65 to $70 next year, "if it fell from there it would be upside to us but the reality is we're cautious on the outlook," CEO Ed Bastian told CNBC's "Squawk Box" ahead of the airline's presentation. The decline in fuel prices is welcome news for airlines because it's generally their second-biggest expense after labor. But investors often fret that it will encourage airlines to add more flights, and low airfares to match, to keep planes full. Executives will also likely discuss plans for Delta's Monroe Energy oil refinery subsidiary. In September, Delta said it was working with banks to possibly create a joint venture for its Trainer, Pennsylvania, facility, to produce gasoline and diesel, in addition to jet fuel. Cabin class updates Delta and its rivals have divided up their economy cabins into smaller and smaller subclasses, from bare-bones basic economy that comes with few perks, to premium economy, its top-end economy tickets that come with a roomier seat, amenities kit and better dining options. Delta executives will likely provide insight into the upsell rates and how quickly the carrier's cabins are being outfitted with its new seats.

3 International plans Delta has struck a slew of joint ventures and other partnerships in nearly every corner of the globe. Executives are likely to outline the state of these, and investors may be interested in how the pacts in effect are performing, particularly with airlines that have struggled like Aeromexico, in which Delta owns a 49 percent stake. Credit card cash cow Delta's partnership with American Express on a suite of co-branded cards has been a cash cow for the airline. Carriers make money by selling frequent flyer miles to banks that issue cards. Investors will be interested in the growth forecast for this partnership, which had come in handy as costs grew.

The most eco-friendly airlines, according to Atmosfair
We all know that flying isn't great for the environment, but some airlines are better than others at keeping their carbon footprint as minimal as possible. But which is the most CO2 efficient? Environmental group atomsfair says its 2018 Airline Index has the answer. The German organization has ranked the carbon emissions of global airlines per kilometer and per passenger, calculated by examining the types of aircraft the carrier favors, seat and freight capacity and occupancy on the flight -- plus what kind of engines and winglets are used. Ranking highest are airlines that squeeze as many passengers as possible into aircraft and those that favor up-to-date airplanes that use less fuel, chiefly the Boeing 787-9, Airbus A350-900 and the A320neo First on the list is British carrier TUI Airways, with a 79.3 efficiency rating. Atmosfair says TUI's near-maximum seating capacities helped propel it to the top. At number two in the overall ranking is Chilean Brazilian carrier LATAM, which is known for using efficient aircraft. Third place goes to China West Air, a regional Chinese airline that serves only short and medium distance routes, but with dense seating and high occupancy levels. Atmosfair says the objective of the report, compiled using data from bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association, is "to make climate efficiency a factor of competition among the airlines."
االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم الشركة القابضة لمصر للطٌران
2 This effort is applauded by Niclas Svenningsen, Global Climate Action Manager at United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). "I think it's a good idea to do that report because it creates awareness among the airlines," he tells CNN Travel. For Svenningsen, there are two key factors airlines need to consider if they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint. "One thing is the technologies -- the equipment they are using, both on the ground and in the air," he says. "The other thing they can do is to see how they actually operate their aircraft," he adds, highlighting flight patterns and seat occupancy. Atmosfair did not include low-cost carriers in the overall ranking -- because those airlines often benefit from subsidies, allowing them to operate with low ticket prices, so they tend to be fuller. "Low cost airlines do not have a problem in jam packing the aircraft, so of course per passenger that lowers the climate footprint from the aircraft," agrees Svenningsen. He adds that these airlines tend not to have business class options, allowing them to be more economical in terms of space.
االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم الشركة القابضة لمصر للطٌران
3 The airlines that made atmosfair's overall top 10 are largely smaller carriers which aren't exactly household names. Svenningsen says it's down to their high capacity seating and policies of renewing aircraft every two or three years. Many of the world's big name airlines fared badly on Atmosfair's round-up. Singapore Airlines, recently ranked the world's best in 2019 by AirlineRatings.com, and the carrier behind the world's longest passenger flight, came in at just 67. Virgin Atlantic was at 83 while Emirates ranked 108. Virgin took issue with the the report saying it wasn't based on actual emissions data and made assumptions about an airline's efficiency based on aircraft type. "We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions, and have invested in a massive renewal program to replace our entire fleet over a 10 year period," it said in a statement. Svenningsen says that while such a report "can always slice and dice statistics in so many different ways" it still creates awareness for passengers and companies. He also points to the Carbon Offsetting Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), which puts a price on emissions. Faring better on atmosfair's list was Air New Zealand at number 13. Among US carriers, Alaska Airlines was crowned the most efficient, at number 22. The report also found that just one in 10 airlines succeeded in keeping their greenhouse gas emissions constant while also growing economically. Thai Airways and American Airlines were among those named as consistent. Practical advice Svenningsen advises passengers concerned about environmental impact to think before they fly. "Today we're flying ridiculous short distances," he says. "There are very good alternatives -- in terms of train for example -- for short distances and that's something one should consider."
االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم الشركة القابضة لمصر للطٌران
4 For the trips when only an airplane will suffice, Svenningsen advises passengers to attempt to mitigate their carbon footprint. "You can to make your travel climate neutral by offsetting it -- by compensating for it," he says. "You may not be able to avoid flying, you may not be able to go on the most low carbon airline that is available, but you can always offset that." Certain airlines are starting to offer that compensation when you buy the tickets -including Qantas and Air New Zealand. Or there are other options. "UFCCC has an online shop for compensation, you just go in and you calculate the climate footprint of your travel and you purchase certified emission reduction from that immediately," explains Svenningsen. He says travelers should educate themselves and be as aware as possible of their impact. "The thing I would not recommend is to ignore it, because all travel has a footprint today, unfortunately," he says.
