Canadian Airlines Canadian Airlines International Ltd. was, from 1987 until 2001, Canada's second largest airline after Air Canada, carrying more than 11.9 million passengers to over 160 destinations in 17 countries on five continents at its height in 1996. Corporation today announced a loss of $137.6 million ($3.05 per share) for the year ended December December: see month. 31, 1998 versus a profit of $5.4 million ($0.12 per share) in 1997. The disappointing results were due to a number of negative factors impacting fourth quarter revenues and costs resulting in a loss in this quarter of $149.7 million, $115.9 million greater than the same period last year. Despite the weaker results, cash and short-term Short-term Any investments with a maturity of one year or less. short-term 1.

It is equal to the number of seats available multiplied by the number of miles flown. This measures an airlines capacity for transporting passengers. , increased 5.3 per cent versus 1997 to 23.2 billion available seat miles, primarily due to more efficient utilization of aircraft. Total traffic, measured in revenue passenger miles Revenue passenger miles (RPMs) is a measure of a passenger traffic for an airline flight, bus, or train calculated by multiplying the total number of revenue-paying passengers aboard the vehicle by the distance traveled measured in miles. , increased 4.2 percent resulting in a load factor of 71.9 per cent. Canadian Airlines' yield per revenue passenger mile was 13.54 cents, a decline of 2.9 per cent versus 1997. This is a result of a global decline in yields experienced by many airlines late in 1998, aggressive pricing competition in Western Canada and California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W). , and the temporary loss of the American Airlines designator code. The loss of the American Airlines designator code and competitive pricing in the California market contributed to a 9.3 per cent decline in yield per revenue passenger mile in the transborder market for the fourth quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. Canadian Airlines' domestic load factor was 1.5 percentage points higher in 1998, the result of a 3.7 per cent reduction in capacity and a 1.6 per cent reduction in traffic. The reduction in domestic capacity was due to the continued redeployment re·de·ploy tr.v. re·de·ployed, re·de·ploy·ing, re·de·ploys 1.

On a unit basis, operating costs for the year declined slightly in 1998 to 11.34 cents, or approximately 7.5 US cents per available seat mile, despite the negative factors noted. The largest single cost increase was a 45.0 per cent increase in airport user and navigational fees due to the introduction of NavCanada fees. While fuel expense benefited from the lower oil prices experienced throughout 1998, flying volumes and the weak Canadian dollar largely offset this benefit, resulting in a moderate 4.3 per cent decrease to $450.0 million. Also, the continuing weakness of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar significantly impacted aircraft rentals, maintenance and material costs, the AMR (1) (Adaptive Multi-Rate) A variable rate speech codec selected by the 3GPP for the 3G evolution of the GSM cellphone system (WCDMA).

CANADIAN AIRLINES YEAR END SUMMARY FEBRUARY 10, 1999 DECREASING YIELDS - Globally, the airline industry is seeing a continuing trend of decreasing yields -- passengers paying less for tickets. - Canadian Airlines has made attracting the high yield, business traveler its top priority, and has introduced new products and services in 1998/99 including: new Vancouver Empress lounge (December 3, 1998), renovated Toronto Empress lounge (January 19, 1998), installation of Millennium seats and Power to the Seat for laptop computers A portable computer that has a flat LCD screen and usually weighs less than eight pounds. Often called just a "laptop," it uses batteries for mobile use and AC power for charging the batteries and desktop use. Today's high-end laptops provide all the capabilities of most desktop computers. (ongoing), Chefs' Conclave inflight restaurant cuisine Cuisine (from French cuisine, "cooking; culinary art; kitchen"; ultimately from Latin coquere, "to cook") is a specific set of cooking traditions and practices, often associated with a specific culture. (November 17, 1998), Executive Platinum level for frequent flyers (March 1, 1998), online Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the booking, improved scheduling and new routes to key business destinations. - All of these products and services are encompassed in a new airline image called "Proud Wings" including new uniforms, exterior logos and interior decor. The focus is on providing business travelers with a friendly, comfortable environment and exceptional service. Very frequent business travelers account for 0.5 percent of Canadian's passengers and almost 40 percent of its revenues. - The program will cost $38 million over two years, to be recouped with a gain of one percent of the $2 billion annual domestic business travel market. AA CODE - Canadian Airlines has an extensive codesharing agreement with American Airlines (AA). This means that AA-coded Canadian-operated flights show as preferred flights and connections to agents booking AA passengers into Canadian Airlines markets. - The AA code was removed from most of Canadian's transborder routes in June 1998 due to a dispute between American Airlines and its pilots. - The most significant impact occurred on routes to/from American Airlines' hubs (Vancouver-Dallas, Toronto-Dallas, and Vancouver-Chicago) where the AA code has attracted customers to travel beyond American Airlines' hubs on Canadian's aircraft. Canadian flew into the US 40 times daily in the last half of 1998 without the AA code. - As of January 1, 1999, the AA code is back on all of Canadian's transborder flights. Canadian has seen an immediate increase in traffic, particularly on flights into Toronto and Vancouver. NAVCANADA CHARGES - Prior to1998, air navigation air navigation, science and technology of determining the position of an aircraft with respect to the surface of the earth and accurately maintaining a desired course (see navigation). service was provided by the Canadian Government and paid for through the Air Transportation Tax . NavCanada implemented a new system of charging back to airlines in 1998. - Canadian Airlines paid $79 million to NavCanada in 1998 for the provision of this service, and expects to pay $131 million in 1999. - In January, Canadian announced a Navigation Services Surcharge for domestic, transborder and international travel, in an effort to recoup a portion of the NavCanada charges. CANADIAN DOLLAR - Canadian pays aircraft leases, aircraft parts, fuel and other costs in U.S. dollars. The 1998 decline in the Canadian dollar cost Canadian tens of millions of dollars, even with lower fuel prices. - Each one-cent drop in the Canadian dollar costs Canadian $1million a month; for 1998 Canadian forecast a 71 cent US dollar. - The value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar appears to have stabilized sta·bi·lize v. sta·bi·lized, sta·bi·liz·ing, sta·bi·liz·es v.tr. 1.

The result to Canadian was decreasing yields. - Canadian Airlines has completed an agreement with Alaska Airlines. This will maintain Canadian's presence in Vancouver, increase passenger flow to Asian routes and allow the airline to move aircraft to more profitable routes. VANCOUVER HUB/ASIA - In 1998 Canadian identified an opportunity to build on the success of the Vancouver Hub by adding five new banks of flights in Vancouver. - The Vancouver Hub expansion will take effect in April 1999, effectively tripling the number of possible connections (from 500 to 1500) for passengers originating in or transiting through Vancouver. - While Japan traffic and revenue will likely remain flat through 1999 Canadian will work with Japan Airlines and Cathay Pacific to increase traffic and yields. oneworld ALLIANCE: - In September 1998, Canadian announced its alliance partnership with four of the world's top airlines: American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas. - oneworld will make global travel easier and encourage and facilitate the seamless travel of Canadian's passengers on partner airlines and their passengers on Canadian. With integrated information systems and procedures in place, business travellers at home on one of the oneworld airlines, will be treated as a top customer on all of them. These significant product and service enhancements, introduced throughout the last half of 1998 and the beginning of 1999, are expected impact Canadian's financial outlook by the summer of 1999. -0-
