Here's What We Do Better

Background
Our client, a US-based airline company, was facing challenges in scaling their operations to meet increasing demand in a competitive market. They offered domestic and international flights to various destinations and targeted a diverse audience of business and leisure travelers. However, the company struggled with operational inefficiencies and was unable to keep up with the growing competition in the industry.

  2. Inefficient management of resources and assets
  3. Limited access to new markets and global routes

COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION 
We implemented several countertrade mechanisms to help the client overcome their challenges:
Solution #1
Counter-Purchase: We facilitated agreements with international suppliers and partners, enabling the airline to purchase goods and services required for their operations while committing to provide flight services to these partners in return.
Solution #2
Direct and Indirect Offsets: We negotiated offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, resulting in investments in the local economies and infrastructure projects that benefited the airline’s operations.
Solution #3
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): We assisted the client in establishing BOT agreements with airport authorities in new markets, allowing the airline to build and operate facilities for a specified period before transferring ownership to the host country.
Solution #4
Joint Ventures (JVs): We helped the client form strategic alliances with local airline companies in new markets to share resources, technology, and expertise.
Solution #5
Economic Enhancement: We guided the airline in leveraging countertrade to promote economic development in targeted markets, resulting in the creation of jobs and development of local industries that supported the airline’s operations.

  1. Identifying potential international partners and suppliers
  2. Negotiating and drafting countertrade agreements
  3. Developing strategic plans for scaling operations
  4. Collaborating with local airline companies and authorities
