American, US Airways Merger Could Launch Credit Card Battle – While American Airlines and US Airways struck notes of love and harmony on Thursday, their mer-ger could set up a battle between two major banks over who can offer credit cards to customers of the world’s largest airline.... One open question, though, is what will become of the credit cards affiliated with each of the air-lines: Citi offers several variations of American Airlines cards, while Barclays offers a menu of US Airways cards. Both banks have exclusivity agreements with their respec-tive airlines that expire in 2017, according to regulatory documents. At stake is the right to market lucrative credit cards to tens of millions of desirable customers: American alone has roughly 69 million members in its frequent-flier program, according to securities documents. “It is a deli-cious tidbit for a bank to grab,” says Jay Sorensen, presi-dent of IdeaWorks Co., a Wisconsin-based airline consult-ing firm. “The ability to have a relationship with the world’s largest airline is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” ...

City celebrates inaugural American Airlines flight – With airlines charging additional fees for everything from blankets to aisle seats, the last item travelers expect is free beer when they get to the airport. But free beer is ex-actly what travelers received Thursday at Columbia Re-gional Airport, compliments of the Chamber of Commerce. The business organization was at the airport along with civic leaders, university officials and local executives cele-brating the first daily flights out of Columbia serviced by American Airlines. The city lobbied the airline for the past few months, putting together a package that guaranteed $3 million in revenue as long as the airline would continue daily flights to Dallas and Chicago for one year. MU is ex-pected to generate the majority of traffic for the new routes. Other than Missouri, Illinois and Texas send more students to the university than any other state. Illinois resi-dents made up 14.7 percent of students in the most re-cent freshman class, with Texas as a distant second mak-ing up 2.6 percent. The school hired two full-time admis-sions representatives for the Chicago area and one for the state of Texas. The focus on out-of-state recruiting comes as the number of high school graduates in Missouri is pro-jected to decline in coming years, and the tuition dollars owed by non-residents increases....

Schnurman: At American Airlines, CEO pay no longer trumps all – What’s more surprising: American Airlines’ CEO getting a $20 million payday or American’s unions not complaining about it? The merger plan for American and US Airways was announced Thursday and won’t close for months. Yet the excitement over the future, and a new management team from US Airways, has already changed the climate at American. In the past, many union workers would go nuclear after American’s senior execu-tives were awarded millions in stock incentives. And no one before had cashed in like Tom Horton today. In less than two years, Horton will earn nearly $20 million, split between cash and stock, according to a securities filing. His predecessor, Gerard Arpey, was paid about $15 mil-lion in the previous nine years, and Arpey spent much of that time trying to stave off Chapter 11.... (Dallas Morning News)

Europe’s environmental aspirations and targets are once again set to stir up the aviation industry – First there were the noise rules for aircraft operating to EU air-ports, then there was the controversial legislation to in-clude aviation in the EU’s Emissions Trading System, and now plans are taking shape to ban or further restrict the use of certain chemicals in aircraft manufacturing and the aftermarket. European MRO companies are genuinely concerned about upcoming new regulatory requirements and probable prohibition of the use of various chromates such as chromium trioxide in their shops. If those require-ments are put into place, aircraft maintenance providers in the 27-nation bloc will be at a competitive disadvantage compared to counterparts in non-EU countries. These new rules also could potentially compromise compliance with U.S. FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) safety standards and requirements for mainte-nance, repair and overhaul activities. The culprit is Reach (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals). The legislation is the result of seven years of debate, is almost 1,000 pages long and tops the charts as the most complex bill in EU history. It requires companies to regis-ter data on 30,000 chemicals with the European Chemi-cals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki, Finland, seek authoriza-tion for the use of substances of very high concern (SVHC) and substitute these chemicals with safer alterna-tives for human health and the environment. SVHCs need to be authorized for specific uses if they appear in Annex XIV of the legislation.... (Aviation Week)

Has Boeing saved Airbus? – Whether in Hollywood or in business, when someone calls for “Plan B”, something has usually gone horribly wrong with “Plan A”. Luckily for Airbus, this time it was Boeing’s “Plan A”. Following the well-publicized problems with lithium-ion batteries on the 787, which have led to the grounding of the global fleet, Airbus has announced that it is reverting to “proven and mastered” nickel cadmium main batteries for the A350 XWB on entry into service (EIS). According to a state-ment at the end of last week (February 15, 2013), the de-cision has been made in the context of the root causes of the 787 incidents remaining “unexplained to the best of our knowledge”. In something of a contradiction, given the abrupt switch to “Plan B”, Airbus expressed confidence that the Li-ion main battery architecture which it has been developing with Saft and qualifying for the A350 is “robust and safe.” ... Airbus will nonetheless continue with the A350 flight test program as planned with Li-ion batteries, as well as launching “additional maturity studies” on Li-ion main batteries in aerospace operations. The airframer said it will also “take on board” the findings of the official investigation into the problems on the 787. This about-turn raises questions as to how much it will cost Airbus to switch to Ni-Cd batteries at this late stage (although no doubt less than a global grounding), but more importantly what the impact will be on the performance capabilities of the aircraft – with the A350 positioned as a key player in the next generation of ultra-efficient, more electric aircraft. For now, the bottom line is that Airbus will avoid the risk of the same kind of early problems which have bedevilled the 787.... (UBM Aviation)
