  1. The Changing Face of Aviation Networked IT Presentation to The 3rd Annual Middle East Aviation IT Forum By Ray Batt Director, Network Solutions, ARINC EMEA

  2. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Air Carriers can leverage to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  3. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Air Carriers can leverage to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  4. Aviation Market Overview • Passenger growth to increase globally at 5.3% p.a. over next 20 years • Cargo growth by 5.9% in same period • Flag carriers need to increase efficiency and reduce costs to compete • IT spend stagnant, need for technology refresh • Few if any more staff • Uncontrollable costs rising – fuel, airport fees etc..

  5. Market Requirements • Reduce total cost per passenger • Minimise capital expenditure on infrastructure • Lower costs associated with managing partners • Deliver service levels consistent individual site requirements • Leverage Internet technologies and COTs products • Deploy operational and business tools that maximise ROI • Total visibility of services delivered though effective real time reporting

  6. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Air Carriers can leverage to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  7. Market Dynamics Middle East Airline Trends • Passenger Traffic up 24% on 2003 • Aircraft movements up by 9% in same period • Increasing yields, profitability and opportunity for new competition • Cargo Tonnes up 13% on 2003 • Reflects increasing disposable income • DXB major cargo hub

  8. Why such dramatic growth? • Middle Eastern peoples disposable income growth • Migrant workers supporting expansion of GCC economies • Increasingly younger populations keen to travel • Windfall revenues from Oil Price rise increasing spend on infrastructure projects • Free Trade Agreements open market opportunities • Largest import markets by value Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt • Since FTA Jordanian exports to US increased from $63m in 2000 to $1.1billion in 2004.

  9. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Air Carriers can leverage to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  10. Key IT Focuses for IT Departments • Deploy new systems that deliver short term payback • Live within changing budget constraints by leveraging alternative technologies • High staff turnover increases user support and training costs • Scarcity of legacy support drives migration • Maintain ageing desktops and terminals • Support customer service improvement

  11. Service Level “Pick n Mix” Redundancy

  12. Where Does The Aviation IT Budget Go? Multiple desktops that need managing, supporting and upgrading.

  13. Where Does The Aviation IT Budget Go? Access and share information with hosts and applications globally

  14. Where Does The Aviation IT Budget Go? Revenue generating routes originate from your world

  15. Where Does The Aviation IT Budget Go? Network Infrastructure that reflects another age

  16. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Air Carriers can leverage to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  17. Adoption of IP Within the Aviation Industry • IP is the key facilitator for many of the new initiatives! • 40% of Carriers still to migrate to IP from Legacy • IATA’s Simplifying the Business driving E-Ticketing and CUSS • Host to Host messaging moving to MATIP now…! • Real and tangible savings being achieved, $3million by one ME carrier with ARINC’s Global Partner Connect Service • Some partners slow to adopt IP = holding back savings • RFC 2351 MATIP standard allows wide variations in implementation = cost • Back Office Systems make extensive use of IP • Intranets, Remote Access, Roaming WiFi GPRS etc • Applications IP Enabled, SAP, eMail etc • Traffic Prioritisation and Class of Service support required • Most Front Office Systems not integrated • Mainly use gateways to legacy applications • No connectivity to back office systems • Mission Critical Applications (RES/DCS etc)

  18. Adoption of IP Within the Aviation Industry • All Airlines have some level Internet presence • Level of Customer Interaction varies • Sales Only, Check-in, Seat Selection, Frequent Flyer Program

  19. Adoption of IP Within the Aviation Industry • Increasing deployment of IP VPNs over MPLS infrastructure • Predominantly back office systems • Regulation and monopolistic lack of competition in Middle Eastern market holding back savings – Competition drives Choice = Lower Cost • Trials of self built Internet based VPNs – “DIY Networks” • Varying levels of success, network management and ISP relationship problems. • Security policy enforcement issues • Virus protection issues • VoIP • No significant take up unless you include Skype • Some regulatory restrictions preventing take-up • Massive replacement costs • Telco’s deploying VoIP in core and reducing call charges

  20. Agenda • Aviation Market Overview • Market Dynamics Creating Opportunities for Middle East Carriers • High Cost Points of Existing IT Infrastructure and Systems • Adoption of IP within the Aviation Industry • Solutions Carriers can adopt to reduce costs and improve performance • Summary

  21. Optimising the Infrastructure • Multi-carrier VNO architecture brings competitive choice and removes technology dependencies; • Best fit solutions for each location, using Broadband DSL and Wireless, and MPLS (AviNet Private IP) • Refresh common use environment with Open Airport architecture, enable front office user integration with back office systems (AviNet Airport) • Leverage commercial applications to replace dedicated industry messaging client (AviNetMail and MHS) • Optimise IATA messaging to drive down costs throughout the business. (AviNet Type B and Global Partner Connect) • Harnessing the global capabilities of the Internet (AviNet Broadband)

  22. Integrating the Internet “Managed properly, the Internet has finally become a viable and attractive network solution” – SITA At ARINC we agree!

  28. Thinning the Desktop – Optimising Performance in IP Networks • Traditional fat clients Windows desktops difficult and expensive to manage.. • Local processing requires, more costly, higher performance workstations • Modern applications ideal for thin client operation • Centralised application processing lowers desktop specification and cost • Absolute control over desktop, improves productivity and simplifies management • Linux, X-Windows and OpenOffice deliver a low cost, high performance and high quality alternative. • Is it ready for the Desktop? • Extensively used for high performance and high availability servers • German Government makes extensive use of Linux desktops • China and Taiwan governments use StarOffice a derivative of OpenOffice
