Arrivals and Departures in 2017
This report examines the comings and goings in the industry in 2017. The most significant losses were in Europe where Air Berlin and Monarch both operated their last services. Almost by definition it is not possible to say which will be the most significant of the start-ups until they have been in operation for a few years but it is likely that they will include at least a few major carriers of the future.

Across the world In 2017 52 new airlines were launched and 48 stopped flying. Of the 48, 17 suspended operations with the hope of restarting in the near future.

BA must rightsize IT
British Airways system outage has caused chaos for some 75,000 passengers.

Amadeus to buy Accenture's Navitaire - First View Analysis
Amadeus' bid for Accenture's Navitaire has the potential to change the PSS market structure for some time. Most customers are unlikely to oppose the deal, but a few commercially savvy airlines will seek to lower cost and improve terms from the acquisition. The deal presents some regulatory risk specifically in Europe, although Amadeus will have undoubtedly taken advice that the markets are quite different.

Sabre Wins LATAM's TAM and Displaces Amadeus
LATAM announced their decision to select Sabre as their single PSS platform on 05 May 2015. This is a big deal for Sabre as it secures their inventory footprint in Latin America with the largest regional carrier. Securing inventory is a critical piece of the puzzle for any PSS/GDS supplier and Sabre will be the dominant PSS provider in the region following cutover to Sabre. Combined with COPA's recent win, Sabre now have a solid, long term IT platform in Latin America. Execution will be challenging, however the current economic climate provides urgency to get this work done.

Radixx and Flydubai Secure their Futures
T2RL consider the Flydubai / Radixx news and agreement as important for airline buyers of PSS. The source code licence option is unusual for such a small carrier. The last major source code deal was Delta Airlines with Travelport. The deal is therefore worth commentary from T2RL's analyst community.

Distribution Heatmap 2015
T2RL's research team met in Whistler, Canada from 13th. to 17th. April 2015 to define the key issues facing airline distribution executives for the coming year. The GDS' are thriving and like any business they continue to exert pricing power when they have the opportunity to do so. LCC's are participating in the traditional distribution architectures and are well placed to take advantage of the infrastructure developed and tuned by the traditional carriers and their vendors. Market dynamics are challenging with market concentration and consumers access to technology.
