1 Latin America Aviation in 2017 Peter Harbison Executive Chairman, CAPA Centre for Aviation Cartagena, 11-Sep-2017

2 The global market Benign economic conditions have stimulated traffic growth Broadly profitable industry Partnerships and alliances are evolving Factors reshaping networks: New (smaller widebody) aircraft change the way route networks operate New entrant airlines and subsidiaries China accelerating internationally Uncertainty: Terrorism, Trump and Brexit This is a cyclical industry Prolonged periods of stability are rare

3 Latin America With 46 countries, 740 main airports and 385 airlines generalisations are difficult Economic and airline performance is improving, with considerable upside but remains fragile: USD700 million profit USD1.5 billion loss USD300 million profit A generally relaxed view towards ownership and control although some states are still protective Low market penetration by LCCs but rapid recent expansion (Chile, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica)

4 Latin America Large potential for further domestic and short haul market growth Infrastructure and costs are increasingly a constraint on growth Domestic growth has slowed recently, due to weak economies 2016 domestic pax down 8% Internationally, US and European markets and airlines are most dominant (inbound traffic) Faster international growth International partnerships/equity investments becoming more significant (HNA-Azul/TAP, LATAM-Qatar, Delta-Aeromexico investment and JV and investment in Gol)

22 Argentina: Impediments to growth Protectionist policies domestically have restricted air travel Regulatory impediments and bureaucracy continue to slow potential under a new liberal policy Norwegian Air says Argentina is a hidden jewel Buenos Aires ATM needs major upgrade Infrastructure across the country needs major investment to permit market growth

24 Enormous market growth potential especially for LCCs. But.. Infrastructure constraints in Latin America to cost USD42 billion over the next 16 years, says IATA Who will pay? Airport privatisation? PPPs? High charges and taxes limit the potential effectiveness of new low cost services, preventing lower prices (eg Mexico-Monterrey rtn USD91 - taxes and charges USD71 = fare USD20*) Economies recovering, but still fragile Partnerships and equity investments likely to grow * Source: Skyscanner/Expedia
