00:00:03: expert talk hosted by Nikolai bear hello

00:00:09: and welcome to a new edition of impulses

00:00:11: and perspectives today we're going to

00:00:13: talk about the aircraft industry and I'm

00:00:16: talking today with dr. mark japan from

00:00:19: the oxford university hello all right

00:00:23: thank you for having me dr. Chapin

00:00:26: how will the aircraft industry look in

00:00:29: the future after they covet 19 crisis

00:00:31: now well so Koba 19 in many ways is the

00:00:35: most significant crisis for the aviation

00:00:38: industry as a whole and of course that

00:00:41: industry includes the airlines that is

00:00:43: you know those there's an industry they

00:00:45: operate their planes include some

00:00:48: intermediate service providers and then

00:00:50: of course includes the OEMs they

00:00:52: originally put in the makers those

00:00:54: companies that make aircraft like Boeing

00:00:56: like your bus the effect is a little bit

00:00:59: differential I think we've all seen that

00:01:00: airlines have had to reduce the

00:01:03: operations in the major way that of

00:01:06: course has affected their immediate

00:01:07: service suppliers like airports like

00:01:09: your traffic control organizations and

00:01:11: as far as those those players in the

00:01:13: industry that make the actual equipment

00:01:15: like Boeing Airbus or Bombardier and Bri

00:01:18: are concerned they're looking at a

00:01:19: significant downturn in demand a

00:01:22: significant recession which probably

00:01:24: will take two or three years to catch up

00:01:25: on how do we will feel this change as a

00:01:31: passenger is there not so many flights

00:01:35: anymore are the prices higher what what

00:01:38: will the outcomes be there's several

00:01:43: aspects to look at so first of all I

00:01:46: think the the traveling experience

00:01:48: itself will be very much different but

00:01:51: if you think about how you normally fly

00:01:53: and I normally travel and you go to the

00:01:56: airport you go on the plane then you

00:01:57: deeply and you you're right for everyone

00:01:59: you want to go to and that entire

00:02:02: process will be characterized by

00:02:04: additional safety screenings these

00:02:07: paintings before I get on the plane you

00:02:09: will probably be required to bear some

00:02:11: sort of mass during the plane

00:02:12: the service that the airlines

00:02:14: traditionally have offered onboard will

00:02:16: be significantly reduced in the interest

00:02:18: of minimizing the spread of kovat the

00:02:21: ability the bathroom will be somewhat

00:02:22: limited and by the time you deplane

00:02:24: there might well be in Bonn checked so

00:02:26: the travel experience itself will

00:02:29: probably be significantly less pleasant

00:02:31: than they're used to at least from high

00:02:34: quality carriers in terms of frequencies

00:02:37: well the the airline industry is under

00:02:40: significant financial pressure so it's

00:02:43: not unlikely that a number of

00:02:46: point-to-point connections that in the

00:02:48: past were relatively marginal in terms

00:02:49: of their financial results for airlines

00:02:51: that you know those have disappeared and

00:02:54: it will be relatively unlikely that many

00:02:56: of those will come back so there were

00:02:58: probably at least in the in the media -

00:03:01: or to medium term will be less choices

00:03:03: of Rods less chances of connectivity

00:03:06: we'll all airliners survive dis crisis

00:03:12: I wish you and I knew that way we could

00:03:15: borrow a billion bucks from our local

00:03:16: bank and play the market

00:03:20: let me just as a matter of proper

00:03:23: disclosure let me let me state which I

00:03:24: probably should have stated at the

00:03:25: beginning of our conversation that terms

00:03:28: of a previous background I used to work

00:03:30: for one of the major European carriers

00:03:32: Lufthansa that is I still have personal

00:03:34: connections there and obviously I tried

00:03:37: to be as neutral as I can and obviously

00:03:40: I'm not a paid spokesperson for long

00:03:41: times or any other carrier but just as a

00:03:43: matter of proper disclosure I'd like to

00:03:45: point out that that the professional

00:03:46: background that contain personal

00:03:48: connection and additionally as a matter

00:03:50: of proper disclosure I still own a very

00:03:52: very small amount of money in shares in

00:03:54: one of those carrots just just so that

00:03:57: is out as a matter of proper disclosure

00:04:00: now on first sight one might assume that

00:04:04: this economic crisis will result in a

00:04:08: couple of marginal airlines going out of

00:04:10: business and we have seen that a few of

00:04:12: those have faulted already having said

00:04:14: that however you know as we all aware

00:04:16: the airline business is one that is

00:04:18: driven by the loss of economics and

00:04:20: competition and at the same same time it

00:04:22: is also subject to political and

00:04:25: strategic forces on the front of

00:04:26: governments and so we have I think we

00:04:29: have countervailing forces due to this

00:04:31: crisis that on the one hand again the

00:04:33: tremendous economic and market pressures

00:04:35: that would suggest that one would see

00:04:37: significant exits on part of you know

00:04:39: those ones that have had marshal balance

00:04:42: sheets or margin custard peel even prior

00:04:44: to the crisis having said this I think

00:04:47: in many ways the the Cova 19 crisis has

00:04:51: also highlighted the strategic

00:04:53: importance of Airlines and if you just

00:04:55: think about you know highly publicized

00:04:58: cargo flights of all kinds of from all

00:05:01: kinds of countries all over the world

00:05:03: bringing you know bringing back personal

00:05:05: protective equipment and so there into

00:05:07: their respective home countries in many

00:05:09: cases you know from quite far away you

00:05:12: know often from from the major

00:05:14: manufacturing up on this planet from

00:05:16: China and so again on the one hand you

00:05:18: see economic pressures on the other hand

00:05:21: that crisis also seems to highlight the

00:05:23: strategic importance of having at least

00:05:26: a certain member

00:05:26: minimum of long range you know aviation

00:05:31: transport capacity that the government

00:05:34: or society could tap into in moments of

00:05:36: crisis so I'm not quite sure how many

00:05:39: exits there really will be across the

00:05:41: board is there in the European community

00:05:45: like a regulation like in the US chapter

00:05:48: 11 to help bankrupted Airlines out of

00:05:53: their deepest problems that's really

00:05:58: good question so you know the this sort

00:06:01: of two-tier structure that you see in

00:06:03: American bankruptcy respectively you

00:06:05: know restructuring or chapter 11 chapter

00:06:07: 13 and whatnot you know you have that in

00:06:10: some European countries you certainly

00:06:11: don't have it across all of your own and

00:06:15: you know for those companies that

00:06:18: entertain or that flirt was the

00:06:19: possibility of going to some sort of

00:06:21: restructuring you know on the surface of

00:06:23: it there is a certain charted on the

00:06:26: other hand of course the other you know

00:06:28: implications and in the end you know for

00:06:31: most high-quality carriers in a large

00:06:34: part of the business model is the trust

00:06:36: that you know your passengers that the

00:06:38: flying public puts into puts until you

00:06:40: and depending on how you know specific

00:06:43: national laws are structured and

00:06:46: depending on detailed provisions as part

00:06:49: of a american-style Chapter eleven type

00:06:52: of restructuring passengers who have

00:06:55: prepaid tickets might well lose all of

00:06:57: their pre payments now from a purely you

00:07:00: know airline financial modeling point of

00:07:02: view obviously that has a certain charm

00:07:03: in the sense that that you know that

00:07:05: maximizes cash flow on part of the

00:07:08: airline on the other hand if you think

00:07:10: about an airline living of trust and

00:07:13: brand loyalty of its passengers in the

00:07:15: long term you know once you

00:07:17: disenfranchised your passengers and keep

00:07:19: their cash or write down their cash well

00:07:22: you know that is not necessarily all

00:07:24: that much of a very model just to

00:07:27: survive it right and Morton so yes even

00:07:30: in those countries and those European

00:07:31: countries that have the possibility of

00:07:33: going for an american-style type of

00:07:35: restructuring you know we needs to think

00:07:38: very carefully about respective upside

00:07:40: and also defects that that might have so

00:07:43: the the financial pressure on the

00:07:45: airlines is very high at the moment so

00:07:48: before the crisis we already had a very

00:07:51: hard fight between the airlines on

00:07:53: ticket prices and in the last year's we

00:07:57: saw that the seats are going narrow

00:07:59: narrow and more and more passengers were

00:08:02: forced into the same body of an aircraft

00:08:05: will this trend go on to push more

00:08:10: people in in in the same size of an

00:08:12: airplane you're addressing a very

00:08:15: interesting issue obviously COBIT 19 has

00:08:18: has increased the pressure on Airlines

00:08:20: operationally financially in all kinds

00:08:23: of other ways and has increased that

00:08:24: pressure tremendously having said that

00:08:26: and I think this is what I assumed you

00:08:28: were alluding to even prior to the

00:08:30: crisis on an average basis across all

00:08:32: industry you know the airline industry

00:08:34: for many many years for the majority of

00:08:36: its existence worldwide on average basis

00:08:39: really has never achieved to you know

00:08:42: recover its its cost of capital

00:08:45: obviously there have been individual

00:08:47: cares that have been performing quite

00:08:48: well if you think you know in the

00:08:49: European context for example British

00:08:51: Airways has done quite well you know

00:08:53: enough times our group has done quite

00:08:54: well in terms of you know airline

00:08:57: approaches to maximizing revenue out of

00:09:02: you know a fixed asset base as you

00:09:06: referred to that there's pretty much

00:09:07: three ways right number one you raised

00:09:09: prices number two you generate you put

00:09:12: more seats under the airplane number

00:09:15: three you operate in your plane in such

00:09:18: a manner that there's more flights per

00:09:19: day or more flight hours per day

00:09:23: all you know these three levers are

00:09:25: going to be very very hard to operate in

00:09:27: Napoleon now already and especially in

00:09:30: the postcard world to the extent that

00:09:33: raising prices well if there's massive

00:09:35: overcapacity the market raising prices

00:09:37: will not be all that easy in terms of

00:09:40: squeezing more seats into airplanes mean

00:09:43: I airlines over the past years have done

00:09:46: what is technically possible in some

00:09:49: cases that really hasn't affected the

00:09:51: passive experience at least not in

00:09:53: direct way all that much so for examples

00:09:55: removing galleys face that you don't

00:09:56: need because you know providing hot

00:09:58: meals on shorter flights and reducing

00:10:00: the number of lavatory shrinking the

00:10:02: size of laboratories a bit and making

00:10:05: use of you know of space in an airplane

00:10:10: cabin the previous might have been

00:10:11: allocated to you know a cabinet where

00:10:14: you could put up your coats or whatnot

00:10:15: so this has been done and then going

00:10:19: back to your comment yeah you know sit

00:10:21: pitch the the distance between rows in

00:10:25: the airplane seat Ross has been shrunk

00:10:26: seats themselves have been reduced in

00:10:29: size whether that was us that would be

00:10:32: sustainable in the postcode world this

00:10:33: is hard to say in the end it all will

00:10:36: depend on whether regulatory authorities

00:10:39: will demand that sheets get blocked off

00:10:41: or entire Cedros gets blocked off you

00:10:43: know some sort of India type of social

00:10:45: distancing and then the last big lever

00:10:48: of you know generating more revenue

00:10:49: Oliphant give any airplane I'm just

00:10:52: operating the plane more hours per day

00:10:54: obviously there's limits to that as well

00:10:56: and if we think about you know the the

00:11:00: array of measures that are being put

00:11:02: into place you know in airports and then

00:11:05: affect the boarding process you know in

00:11:07: a postcode 19 brokers all kinds of

00:11:09: temperature checks self declarations you

00:11:12: know

00:11:12: spacing in terms of the queue just going

00:11:15: into the airplane possibly not you know

00:11:17: a whole group of people being able to

00:11:18: deep board and having done that in terms

00:11:20: of you know sort of a social distancing

00:11:22: approach to it so deep work you know the

00:11:25: likelihood that turnaround times did the

00:11:27: turnaround times the you know

00:11:29: the span of time that airplanes stays at

00:11:32: the gate before it goes off on and read

00:11:33: me a flight again the probability that

00:11:35: were shrink is about zero more like

00:11:36: we'll probably go you know terms will

00:11:39: become longer which then means in terms

00:11:41: of the third elaborate that you have to

00:11:43: join it Maroney another plane

00:11:44: well you might you might well be looking

00:11:47: at reduced flight hours or reduced

00:11:48: numbers of average flights per day that

00:11:51: you can squeeze on airplanes also yes in

00:11:54: a post covered nineteen bird very likely

00:11:56: airlines will be looking at will have to

00:12:00: manage the reality off of decreasing

00:12:03: revenue per airplane per day most likely

00:12:05: is it possible that yet traveling will

00:12:09: only be possible with subsidies in the

00:12:13: future depending on the way you look at

00:12:16: it in in you know in many cases

00:12:21: commercial air transport has only been

00:12:23: possible due to subsidies in the past

00:12:25: you know there's two hundred-plus

00:12:28: airlines on the planet and depending on

00:12:31: the way you count there's a few dozen

00:12:32: who really you know have performed well

00:12:34: but if performed well financially that

00:12:37: is and that many of their and then

00:12:39: there's a relatively long tail of dozens

00:12:42: if not well over 100 airlines that you

00:12:44: know historically have not performed

00:12:45: well financially and that have only been

00:12:48: able to stay in the game because of

00:12:50: direct or indirect subsidies from the

00:12:52: government or from their respective

00:12:53: governments and so if if in a Preet

00:12:58: Coburn world a number of you know

00:13:01: marginally performia lands were only

00:13:03: able to sustain staying in the industry

00:13:06: based on direct or indirect government

00:13:08: support you know that is not going to

00:13:10: change that's more that's going to get

00:13:12: worse and exacerbated by the crisis if

00:13:14: we talk now a little bit more about the

00:13:17: industry so how are the European

00:13:20: suppliers and producers of aircrafts

00:13:23: will develop after they commit nineteen

00:13:26: crisis well I you know when we talk

00:13:29: about European suppliers at the you know

00:13:31: at the top of you know sort of at the

00:13:33: level of the highest assembly meaning

00:13:34: the whole airplane there really is only

00:13:36: one major player in Europe in the Airbus

00:13:38: at least four commercial airplanes

00:13:39: obviously for military is a slightly

00:13:42: different story but but in essence if

00:13:45: you look at Europe in just this one very

00:13:47: large airplane supply in the Airbus

00:13:51: Airbus is in a relatively difficult

00:13:55: position to the extent that they've

00:13:57: already announced that for some of their

00:13:58: flagship products you know monthly

00:14:00: output annual annual production targets

00:14:03: will be significantly reduced in some

00:14:05: cases say up to 1/2 and the seriousness

00:14:09: of that situation

00:14:10: you know if I think becomes better

00:14:12: understandable if you just think about

00:14:14: you know iconic German automotive

00:14:16: companies imagine what's lagging or a

00:14:19: Mercedes or BMW had to reduce the output

00:14:23: by half or by third and what would be

00:14:25: the impact on those companies by

00:14:28: themselves on their workforce on their

00:14:30: communities and then of course on all

00:14:32: those suppliers so you'll see a similar

00:14:33: effect you know for Airbus and at the

00:14:37: European aerospace industry that

00:14:38: supplies into Airbus and of course this

00:14:40: includes companies and all kinds of

00:14:42: European countries having said that

00:14:45: comparatively speaking I think one could

00:14:49: argue that Airbus again compared to be

00:14:52: speaking that the Airbus is in a

00:14:53: slightly better position and Boeing

00:14:55: simply because you know Airbus does not

00:14:58: have to manage an issue like the point

00:15:00: 737 max which you know causes additional

00:15:06: levels of complexity so boeing has the

00:15:09: advantage that there's a big support

00:15:11: from the from the government and yes

00:15:14: also this big big part with space

00:15:19: activities and military activities are

00:15:23: there civil aircraft program are in

00:15:27: danger to disappear I would be very

00:15:30: surprised if the civil aircraft programs

00:15:32: of a Boeing as a whole would disappear

00:15:34: now boeing has to do significant

00:15:36: production rate cuts you know in some

00:15:38: cases in the neighborhood of about 50%

00:15:41: for the next year or two big bitch of

00:15:44: course will have you know significant

00:15:46: impact again on point itself on its

00:15:48: workforce on the local communities in

00:15:50: which point operates and obviously as

00:15:52: you know similarly profound implications

00:15:54: for the point supply chain

00:15:57: I cannot imagine that you know the

00:16:02: commercial aircraft business of Boeing

00:16:04: will disappear because all of its

00:16:06: aircraft progress will disappear there

00:16:08: are a number of aircraft programs at

00:16:10: Boeing but this one program boy that is

00:16:14: relatively marginal indeed assembled in

00:16:16: the iconic seven the latest version of

00:16:18: the iconic 747 jumbo jet but but that

00:16:23: was relatively marginal prior to the

00:16:24: crisis as well and that will at some

00:16:27: point this continuing the same way that

00:16:29: for example the a380 program a bus will

00:16:32: discontinue if you look at the core of

00:16:34: if you look at the the qualitative core

00:16:38: of Boeing aircraft programs like the 787

00:16:41: the latest version of the of the triple

00:16:44: 7 is a triple 7 eggs that will continue

00:16:49: the interesting part at Boeing will be

00:16:51: December 3 7 max the narrow-body product

00:16:54: you know Boeing has been spending a

00:16:58: tremendous amount of of technical of

00:17:01: customer goodwill of regulatory you know

00:17:04: resources to try to fix the issues that

00:17:09: have plagued the max that came out of

00:17:11: these these horrible crashes caused so

00:17:13: many lives unfortunately they've been

00:17:16: trying hard to to work on that I've been

00:17:17: trying hard to get the aircraft back at

00:17:19: the market to rebuild customer

00:17:21: confidence and at the current moment in

00:17:24: time it looks as though they are you

00:17:26: know absolutely committed to bringing

00:17:28: that aircraft program back now arguably

00:17:32: one could make the point of you know

00:17:37: looking more deeply and thinking whether

00:17:39: considering the historical background of

00:17:41: the 737 max and the inherent design

00:17:45: limitations that come out of that long

00:17:47: historical background and the

00:17:49: configuration of the original 77 whether

00:17:53: boeing might not be well advised to you

00:17:56: know you used to use this crisis and to

00:17:59: take a very hard look of whether there

00:18:01: would not be a very technical

00:18:03: technically and in terms of

00:18:05: technological choices and in terms of

00:18:07: customer acceptance and in terms of

00:18:09: financial implications obviously but

00:18:11: would not be a viable way forward of

00:18:13: branch discontinued the points and the

00:18:15: cemeteries have maxed program and

00:18:17: replacing with a clean sheet aircraft

00:18:19: design well as far as I know from

00:18:22: publicly available sources however at

00:18:25: this point in time Boeing still

00:18:26: committed to making the 737 max break

00:18:29: and bring that into market as soon as

00:18:31: possible so looking into the future of

00:18:36: aircraft construction

00:18:38: how will the airplane of the future look

00:18:41: like and is there a delayed due to

00:18:43: discovered 19 crisis now so how about

00:18:47: more digitalization in the airplane how

00:18:51: about other fuels for the engines or

00:18:55: about electric passenger planes the

00:18:59: pressure to you know for the industry as

00:19:02: a whole to to limit the growth if not

00:19:05: reduce you know carbon dioxide emissions

00:19:07: now that will come back a big time and

00:19:10: so I think there will be a significant

00:19:12: role for biofuel for sustainable

00:19:15: biofuels and the sort of biofuel that

00:19:18: can be generated of resources that you

00:19:21: know quite literally don't take you my

00:19:23: food from food from other human beings

00:19:24: and then can be done in a reasonable way

00:19:27: because if you think about certain types

00:19:29: of approaches to biofuels ok let's cut

00:19:32: down more forests in Brazil to grow you

00:19:35: know stuff that we can turn into

00:19:37: biofuels that really does not make a lot

00:19:39: of sense at all so it needs to be an

00:19:40: intelligent approach to biofuels there's

00:19:43: something and you alluded to this or

00:19:44: something that gets talked about a lot

00:19:46: is electric airplanes now obviously one

00:19:51: should always keep an open mind to new

00:19:54: technologies and one should especially

00:19:57: innovation one should always be careful

00:19:59: about saying that a certain technology

00:20:00: would never happen because of a certain

00:20:02: technology would never happen if we

00:20:03: wouldn't have here place the first place

00:20:04: the 7 the first place they wouldn't have

00:20:07: you know glass cockpits in the first

00:20:10: place we wouldn't a fly-by-wire systems

00:20:12: the first place we wouldn't have

00:20:13: enhanced enhance comfort seventy wiring

00:20:15: systems the first place so maintain an

00:20:16: open mind you know

00:20:18: this regards to the potential of

00:20:20: technology I think is extraordinarily

00:20:22: important

00:20:24: having said that one needs to be very

00:20:27: careful of balancing out in others this

00:20:29: open mind without folly trapped into

00:20:32: some sort of you know taking hype and

00:20:36: there is a lot of potential in electric

00:20:39: airplanes at given the current state of

00:20:42: technology limitation dollars you know

00:20:44: is energy storage nearly batteries and

00:20:47: if you think about the energy density

00:20:49: that can be stored in you know a leader

00:20:51: or a kilogram of money off of jet fuel

00:20:53: compared to much energy you can store in

00:20:55: the battery yeah short branch flights

00:21:00: having a you know a nice little fun

00:21:02: device that you are I could use to fly

00:21:04: out their homes and have a lot of fun

00:21:06: that is variable that exists already

00:21:08: having something you know the size of it

00:21:11: a 320 or 70 was a training or Boeing 77

00:21:15: let alone anything bigger and that has

00:21:17: the range of going from you know London

00:21:22: to New York or from you know born as I

00:21:25: raised to talk you or whatnot that is

00:21:28: still a long long time into the future

00:21:31: considering current realistic technology

00:21:35: trajectories for battery technology so

00:21:38: the addition to energy storage there's

00:21:39: also been an issue of reliability I'm

00:21:41: part of whatever energy storage you know

00:21:43: technology will be using and you know

00:21:46: and I'm not trying to be unduly negative

00:21:49: or be the party poopers first electric

00:21:51: flight is concerned but there are some

00:21:52: significant issues that are pushing both

00:21:56: the loss of physics and the loss of

00:21:57: engineering you know that need to be

00:22:00: resolved prior to you know a jumbo jet

00:22:03: sized electric airplane becoming

00:22:05: becoming realistic apart so maybe a last

00:22:09: question important for us as a passenger

00:22:13: will the prices of airplane tickets go

00:22:16: up or will they go down after the crisis

00:22:20: I think there's two there's two Connolly

00:22:23: forces in the market

00:22:24: number one covert 19 and and and the

00:22:27: operational implications that that has

00:22:29: four Airlines you know additional

00:22:31: measures to be taken to protect crew and

00:22:33: passengers and at the program staff as

00:22:36: well obviously

00:22:38: possibly you no longer turn our infants

00:22:41: at the gate possibly include li possibly

00:22:48: much you know certain limitations how

00:22:51: many people can actually squeeze in turn

00:22:53: airplane you know all of that suggests

00:22:56: that on average prices should go up at

00:22:59: the same time you know if industry

00:23:03: forecasts are to be believed and you

00:23:04: think about the forecasts that

00:23:06: individual units have put out that

00:23:07: industry bodies like yatta have been

00:23:09: putting out if you look at the latest

00:23:11: you know ICAO studies you know about

00:23:14: last year we had about roughly

00:23:17: four-and-a-half billion flying

00:23:18: passengers

00:23:21: that will probably take two or three

00:23:23: years if not longer to recover to the

00:23:25: level there will be as we've talked

00:23:28: about before there will be in number of

00:23:30: market exits and there will be some

00:23:31: capacity reduction but you know the

00:23:34: number that the extent of capacity the

00:23:36: reduction the system will probably be

00:23:38: significantly less than the loss in

00:23:39: passenger revenue but magenta suggests

00:23:42: that there will be significant over

00:23:44: capacity and of course in the past

00:23:45: whatever we have seen over capacity

00:23:47: marketing you've seen relatively intense

00:23:49: price wars that the tickets actually got

00:23:51: cheaper so on the one hand you know

00:23:56: operational implications cost structure

00:23:58: implications from Conan would suggest

00:23:59: that ticket prices go up over capacity

00:24:02: in the market suggests that ticket

00:24:03: prices go down you know if and as long

00:24:09: as airlines are able to attract

00:24:13: additional financial resources be those

00:24:15: from the market at market price will be

00:24:17: those from governments as long as the

00:24:19: airlines are able to attract sufficient

00:24:21: financial resources to be able to

00:24:22: sustain a you know price based fight to

00:24:26: fill capacity I would be somewhat

00:24:29: skeptical if the LC dramatically

00:24:31: increased pricing based on market forces

00:24:34: because again you get these

00:24:35: countervailing effects the interesting

00:24:37: part and this goes back to one of your

00:24:39: earlier questions is and we think about

00:24:41: issues like sustainability the issue of

00:24:44: you know what what role does aviation

00:24:47: have to play in producing you know an

00:24:49: emission of greenhouse gasses to fight

00:24:51: global warming and once airlines will be

00:24:54: in a you know we'll be out of turbulence

00:24:56: will be in stable crucified again

00:24:57: whatever that means you know what will

00:24:59: no governments little voters in

00:25:02: democratic systems will then insist on

00:25:05: putting additional taxes on the airlines

00:25:07: you know in the interest of action

00:25:10: making tickets more expensive in the

00:25:11: interest of reducing air travel in the

00:25:13: interest of reducing co2 emissions and

00:25:15: so I guess my if I had to make a guess

00:25:18: my guess would be that these sort of you

00:25:22: know regulatory regulatory pressures

00:25:25: these sort of non market forces that

00:25:26: those will have as big a role to play in

00:25:29: how you know

00:25:31: airline ticket pricing go

00:25:33: develop in the future as a forces you

00:25:36: know relative to market issues like

00:25:38: covert 19 like pricing on the part of

00:25:41: your hands okay thank you so much dr.

00:25:45: Stephan we heard so much about the

00:25:48: aircraft industry airliners and the a

00:25:50: price tickets once for sure air

00:25:55: traveling will be different after the

00:25:57: crisis than before

00:25:58: thank you a lot and have a good time and

00:26:01: stay safe thank you very much they will
