Description: INTERNATIONAL ELITE BUSINESS AIRWAYS (URL removed) International Elite Business Airways is designed to become a luxury long haul airline, which means an air passenger carrier which focuses exclusively on high end services. Unlike defunct and current all premium class airlines, we will not emphasize on low fare tickets. Our goal is to offer more to those who want to pay more. We want to become pioneer in many services because we believe that this is the best way to become an iconic and well established brand with good reputation and strong image. We also consider that innovations are more effective than advertising. Our motto is “Creativity and innovation”, the primary sources of value for our future shareholders. →CONCEPTION REASONS Many reasons were at the origin of this concept. Some of them are: ●To restore U.S supremacy in class service quality (the PanAm era). If the USA is by far the biggest air passenger market in volume, it is way behind in class services. None of the Big 4 (American, Delta, United/Continental and US Airways) has a 5 or 4 star ranking in the Skytrax Airline Ranking. As of July 1, 2011, on long haul routes, no U.S carrier offers wood, onboard bar, lounge, private suite, shower, or even a 21” LCD screen in its cabin. Only 2 U.S carriers offer first class services now (American and United Airlines). Massive orders from non U.S carriers of the Airbus A380 which gives airlines opportunity to enhance their class services and offer more perks to passengers as we already observed from the current operators (Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Air France, Korean Air, Qantas and Lufthansa) will enlarge the gap since no U.S carriers has put an order yet. ●To challenge foreign carriers’ supremacy in some long haul premium market: USA-Middle East (First and Business Class), New York-Rest of the World (First Class), and Los Angeles-Rest of the World (First and Business Class). ●To profit from the increasing globalization of the world economy and the increasing economic power of some countries (Russia, China, India, Brazil, the Gulf countries, etc.) which will both create an ever growing need for both premium and international travel from and to the USA. ●To profit at full extent from the yield advantage of the premium passenger over the coach passenger. ●To profit from the yield advantage of long haul travel over short haul travel. ●To profit from cost advantages offered by wide-body aircraft and an all wide- body fleet. ●To offer more services to corporations and individuals who shift from business jets to commercial aviation during difficult economic times. ●To establish First Class service monopolies in many lucrative markets (New York to Amsterdam, Brussels, Helsinki, Johannesburg, Milan, Madrid, Vienna, Doha, Dublin, Stockholm, etc.). ●To take advantage of some perverse effects of the current mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships trends. ●To better resist to industry shocks by focusing our presence in the world’s global and regional hubs. ●To profit from the growing hub-to-hub demand. ●To profit from the superior growth rate of the U.S international travel over the U.S domestic travel. ●To diversify the geographic risk of the airline industry and better resist to drops in demand. ●To increase presence in Emerging markets that offer lower labor and other operating costs. ●To offer additional amenities to business travelers who expect more and more from airlines.
