STRATEGIC EXTERNAL FORCES

The session was attended by individuals with a variety of industry perspectives--airlines, manufacturers, the petroleum industry, government, academia, and aviation consulting. There was also a variety of geographic perspectives--from the United States, Canada and Europe. The subjects covered in this session were a) The impact of changing external forces on fleet planning, b) Fuel prices, c) New market opportunities and societal forces, d) Limits to growth, e) Aviation technology, f) The impact of economic/business cycles, g) The "cost/yield/demand/profit dilemma". Quite naturally, some of the topics covered overlapped with those of other sessions (e.g., Airline Passenger Forecasts and International Environment). Readers are encouraged to refer to the reports of the other sessions for comparative purposes. (Author)
