2 ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS Read the Case Study below and answer all the questions that follow: Introduction An interesting development in the South African airline industry was the introduction of kulula.com, a low-fares airline, which forms part of the Comair/ British Airways group. Comair Limited started in 1946 and signed a franchise with British Airways in 1997 to use the British Airways brand name in South and southern Africa. Currently the Comair/British Airways group flies between Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Lusaka, Harare, Windhoek and Victoria Falls. The directors of Comair realised in that there was a gap in the market for a low-fares airline, especially after the demise of various airlines catering for this segment such as Sun Air. kulula.com was introduced in August 2001 with a limited number of flights daily between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Passengers suddenly had a drastically cheaper option to fly between Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Airfares of R400 per one-way trip between Johannesburg and Cape Town rocked the established airlines such as South African Airways, starting a price war with customers being the main beneficiaries. The mission of kulula.com kulula.com's mission statement is not the run-of-the-mill statement that you find in the annual report of most companies. It reflects something of the corporate culture of the airline. The mission statement is irreverent and humourous reflecting the image of a down-to-earth company. The mission of kulula.com reads as follows: Mission statement of kulula.com To our superhero customers and staff we dream of being: The easiest around this means we must constantly provide the easiest way to book, the easiest way to pay, and above all, be the easiest to afford. Simple we don't complicate things. We don't use high-and-mighty language and overly wordy descriptions. We get to the point and that's that. Totally honest this means we tell it like it is. We're not shy of being straight Page 2 of 8
3 and down-to-earth. There is no bullshit. There are no hidden costs. What you see is what you get. Great fun we help people lighten up. Smiles and jokes are free. We always want to be genuinely friendly and provide the right environment for our staff's natural talent to shine. Safe and professional at no time is our dedication compromised. Our most important principle is 'safety first'. Inspirational wherever possible, we provide our staff with the best opportunities to develop their skills, and take their abilities to new heights in the service of our customers. Today we are an airline, tomorrow, who knows? Nothing is impossible. But wherever our customers see the kulula.com brand, they can expect these values. Services offered by kulula.com kulula.com offers two services to its customers: flights between the major destinations in South Africa and car rental. The logo of kulula.com flights includes the slogan: Now anyone can fly, thereby appealing to the widest possible target market. The kulula.com/cars service was launched in August The two services complement one another. When passengers buy a return air ticket from kulula.com they may also rent a car at R165 per day (including unlimited mileage, standard insurance waivers, airport surcharge and VAT). kulula.com also offers a reasonably-priced shuttle service to and from the airport. Competition in the low-fares market At the beginning of 2004 a new competitor entered the South African market with the promise of the same low prices as kulula.com. This entry contributed to the general overcapacity problem of the market, which some observers say will only be solved by the bankruptcy of one or more of the airlines. Despite that, kulula.com launched the acquisition of four McDonnel-Douglas 82 airplanes in January 2004 with an up to 30% slash in fares to the destinations Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, George and Page 3 of 8
4 Durban. The executive director of kulula.com, Novick explained the 30% cheaper rates (e.g. the airfare between Johannesburg and Durban is R199 one-way) as due to the savings on the new airplanes, which are 30% cheaper to operate than the older Boeings s. The role of price elasticity of demand The fundamental theory of price elasticity of demand provides an economic explanation why passengers are interested in flying with kulula.com and why kulula.com is in a position to charge these low fares. The price elasticity of demand refers to the percentage change in the quantity demanded from a change in the price. If a decline of 50% in the price results in an increase in demand of 100%, we say that the price is elastic within the price range. This is the price principle being followed by kulula.com in its assault on the South African market. What is further of interest is the fact that kulula.com is following the same strategy as some of the now famous European and American airlines such as Ryanair and Southwest Airlines. 4 These two airlines are following a powerful combination of low airfares and good service to win the hearts and minds of passenger) and can be described as value-based players in the airline industry. Value-based players' competitive edges The power of value-based companies are centred in two areas, namely having a cost advantage in the airline industry and in the relentless way in which this cost advantage is pursued while their second strength is based on the potency of the shift in consumer perceptions regarding the quality of the service that they offer. These two aspects will now be discussed in greater detail: Cost advantage Ryanair, for instance, charges lower fares by departing from lower-cost airports (e.g. departing from Gerona which is 60km from Barcelona while the national carriers depart from the Barcelona city airport), utilising aircraft more optimally by flying them more hours a day, keeping labour cost low, distributing tickets online and providing no in-flight frills. In South Africa the trend of utilising secondary airports is still in its Page 4 of 8
5 infancy with Lanseria now being positioned as an alternative to Johannesburg airport. The financial and operational performance of Ryanair during the period 1998 to 2002 is depicted in Table below: Year Net Profit (US Dollars, in millions) Net Margin 24.09% 21.43% 19.59% 19.25% 19.63% Operational Statistics Passengers (in millions) Passenger load factor 81.2% 71% 67% 71.5% 72% Novick, the CEO of kulula.com states that they 'sweat the assets (airplanes)' flying six sectors a day on the route Johannesburg to Cape Town utilising the planes 12 to 14 hours a day.' kulula.com furthermore does not have additional services that cost money such as frequent-flyer programmes, offering meals onboard, pre-seating customers and paying commission to travel agents and tour operators. Southwest airlines in the USA is following the same approach and the cost advantage of Southwest Airlines is explained in the excerpt below. The cost advantage of Southwest Airlines Low costs have given Southwest Airlines in the USA the competitive advantage of having the America's lowest fares. This advantage has created a phenomenon known in the airline industry as the 'Southwest effect'. Airports served by Southwest have lower average fares than those that are not because competitors feel compelled to match Southwest's fares. A shift in the quality perceptions that they offer Although passengers flying with Ryanair cannot reserve seats in advance, the quality gap between Ryanair and British Airways (the official UK carrier) is perceived to be narrow, regarding aspects such as service, convenience and the buying experience. Similarly, in South Africa Novick, CEO of kulula.com, states that safety standards are Page 5 of 8
6 US Cent non-negotiable and that kulula has a strong customer base and a strong brand. kulula.com also won the ACSA-Airports Company's award for best domestic airline in 2002 strengthening the positive quality perception of customers. Value-based airlines attract large numbers of passengers with the winning combination of low prices and 'good enough' quality. With the large number of passengers these airlines obtain economies of scale, which translates into superior productivity increases, something which is unattainable by traditional airlines. The graph below indicates the lower cost per available seat mile of Ryanair and Southwest, which is Ryanair's business model counterpart in the USA Series Ryanair EU Average SouthWest US Average Airline Cost per available seat mile of Ryanair and Southwest Airlines (2002 in American cents) As can been seen both Southwest and Ryanair have a major advantage regarding cost-per-available-seat-mile (in both instances more than 30%). With this saving they can offer the cheapest possible fares, thereby generating above-average customer loyalty as well as profitability, which in turn generates a virtuous cycle whereby the company can charge even lower fares, open up more routes, and stimulate even Page 6 of 8
7 more traffic. Another reason for the success of Southwest lies in the treatment of the personnel of the airline. 10 Management believes that when employees are treated well, they will treat customers well, creating a beneficial situation for all stakeholders. This does not mean that the personnel get fat pay cheques. In fact, Southwest Airlines wages are generally lower that those of competitors but the company sweetens the deal by making stock options available to employees, enabling them to benefit from the airlines' financial success. What further endears Southwest to its employees is a nolayoff policy, even in the darkest days after September 11 (the bombing of the World Trade Centre in the USA). kulula.com is following the same approach as Southwest Airlines in as far as it keeps employees happy by giving them the freedom to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities. Summary The aviation industry in South Africa was for decades monopolised by the state carrier South African Airways. The earlier introduction of no-frill airlines was not a success for various factors. However, it would seem that the most recent cut-price airlines are providing more stringent competition to the state carrier and other national carriers. Only time will tell if kulula.com will be as successful as its European and American counterparts in this respect. Source: Cant, M and Machado, M (2005). Marketing Success Stories (5 th Edition).
