The industry which supplies training is also fragmented from traditional in-house to external Specialist Training Organisations Governments OEMs Service Organisations Universities/Trade Colleges/ Academies In-house In-source • Advantages of In-house: • Core to product/reputation • Control over quality • Instant access • Lack of scale external providers • Scale provides low cost • Ability to in-source work for revenue • Arguments against In-house: • Do not need to own and run, LCC’s • Not always best quality in-house • Cost of instant access, breeds waste • 3rd party providers growing scale • Larger 3rd party volume reduces cost • Lack of commitment, marginal pricing APATS 2009 Hong Kong

As we look towards recovery on the horizon, how prepared are you? • After the biggest shock to the aviation industry ever, growth will return and with it, the skills shortage • Choices ahead: • Impact of the changing business models and strategies as legacy carriers evolve • No longer the traditional “lifelong airline man”; different backgrounds, skills • Narrowing the scope of proprietary vs open or shared, cf R&D • Challenging the autarky to keep up with the LCCs • Constrained capital • Realign to respond to growth shifting to emerging markets (especially BRICS countries) • Need for cost effective models, eg the $2,000 Nano car? • Is the ‘export model’ of training sustainable? • Renewed focus on employability • Great marketing emphasis on self-funded students? • Degree courses, continuous learning? non traditional career pathways? internationally recognised accreditation? Greater mobility • Evolving regulatory environment, eg • EASA, MPL • Impact of the “Environmental New Age” • Need for greater scale, broader discipline and market coverage to provide more compelling offer to major airlines • Functional silos or broader training service provider covering more disciplines? • Further consolidation, cross border activity?
