Historical Context
A commodity’s air share is directly related to its unit value
’09
The ratio of transportation cost to unit value directly influences shippers’ modal choice because higher unit values are related to higher inventory carrying cost, and thus have a direct impact on profitability In general, the unit value of a commodity will decline because of market maturity and productivity improvements; however, for some commodity classes (e.g., electronics), more mature products are replaced by newer generations of devices offering enhanced features and higher performance, which may reverse the price trend and lead shippers to continue using air transportation 11 Source: U.S. Department of Commerce

Key Questions To Be Explored
Long-Term Future
We will consider three key forces acting on air freight demand growth over the next five years
17
Historical Crude Oil And Jet Fuel Prices USD per barrel
EXAMPLE
What impacts from sustained higher energy prices?
Long-Term Future
Thinking about the long-term future is less about volatility and more about “mega-trends” and the impacts on demand, sourcing patterns and modal competition
Hurts economic and trade growth Widens the cost disadvantage of air freight relative to surface modes • But also preserves, and potentially widens, the speed gap with time-definite ocean services due to slow steaming
Pushes manufacturers and retailers to shorten supply chains (“near-shoring” or “rightshoring”)

Illustrative Price/Speed Options for Intercontinental Shipments
Price/speed trade-offs have not changed significantly over the past 20 years
Price/Kilo
High
Long-Term Future
Modal competition is a function of price/speed and planning
What is changing is shipper’s ability to plan, and thereby reduce the occurrence of emergencies that account for an estimated 50 percent of intercon air freight shipments

Conclusions
Conclusions
Dramatic rebound has brought us back to 2008 – critical question is whether industry can resume historical growth rates
Keep in mind the conditions for two key scenarios • Back to Normal: relationship between GDP and air freight traffic will continue as before • Permanently Slower Growth: GDP growth will translate into less air freight growth due to: sustained higher energy prices changed sourcing patterns better planning and communication
