Global Airlines
Ancillary growth boosts earnings resiliency
Key points
We take a deep dive into high-margin ancillary fees, which have been growing
and account for 11% of industry revenues.
Investor interest in ancillary fees is high given limited disclosures from the
airlines.
Our Top Picks are Spirit, Air Canada, easyJet and Air China based on ancillary
opportunities and fundamental outlook.
Ancillary Revenues Continue to Grow and account for 11% of Business
We estimate global airline ancillary revenues have grown at ~20% CAGR over the
past decade to reach almost US$93bn in 2018, far outpacing the industry’s total
revenue growth of ~4%. This equates to over US$21 per passenger and 11% of total
airline revenues. The key drivers of this growth have been rising air travel, unbundling
of fares, increasing LCC penetration, and growing ancillary offerings by airlines. We
have seen similar trends for most of the 19 airlines across North America, Europe and
China we have discussed in this report. In our estimation, these 19 airlines generate
US$38bn in ancillary revenues (US$20/pax and 11% of total airline revenues).
Boosting EPS Resiliency and Providing a Natural Hedge Against Fuel
Airlines have consistently generated profits since 2010, which is a contrast to the prior
decade and not just a coincidence. It is quite interesting that airlines were profitable
even when jet fuel was above US$100/bbl earlier this decade. This is a direct result of
airlines’ increasing focus on ancillary fees, which carry significantly higher margins vs
typical airline margins, boosting the much needed resiliency in net earnings. Further,
ancillary fees now equate to over 50% of the fuel bill vs 10% a decade ago, providing
a greater natural hedge against the largest airline cost item. Thus, we think airlines
with higher ancillaries deserve a multiple expansion for greater earnings resiliency.
Potential for Further Growth as Opportunities are Numerous
Industry-wide we expect baggage fees to be the key driver of ancillary fees in 2019
but we also see loyalty programs, credit cards, corporate travel, and pre-boarding or
in-flight offerings as other areas of growth over time. Passenger traffic is expected to
double in the next two decades, growing at 3.5% CAGR. More airlines could add new
ancillary offerings while many airlines will likely continue to evolve their offerings and
increase the fees. This would suggest the ancillary revenue growth could remain high,
perhaps in the high single-digit range if not double-digit over the next decades.
Top Picks and Regional Trends
Based on our in-depth analysis in this report as well as our fundamental outlook, we
like Spirit Airlines, Air Canada, easyJet and Air China as our top picks in our global
airlines coverage. US airlines lead the industry on ancillary revenues in terms of $ per
passenger and percentage of total revenues with Spirit topping the charts. Similarly,
Air Canada and easyJet are amongst the top ancillary earners with strong growth
trends. While we expect continued growth in ancillary revenues for our covered
airlines in North America and Europe, we believe Chinese carriers could have
stronger growth potential in the long term given they have been slower in adopting the
ancillary model, similar to the airlines in Asia, Africa, Middle East and Latin America.

Ancillary growth boosts earnings resiliency
The global airline industry has a lot more moving parts compared to other industries and therefore
airline profitability has historically been relatively more volatile from period to period and from cycle to
cycle. Rising competition, globalization, open skies agreements, and increasing airline partnerships
have added a few more variables to the profitability equation. At the same time, the evolution of online
travel agencies (OTAs) and meta-search engines made selling air tickets even more competitive as
airlines looked to fill their planes. These challenges have forced the industry to create a solution that
not only adds resilience to their bottom lines but also helps them keep basic seat fares low in order to
remain competitive and increase load factors.
This solution is called ancillary revenue, which airlines generate on top of the ticket revenue. While
different airlines may define ancillary revenue differently, the ancillary offerings generally range from
à la carte products and services offered to passengers to commissions collected from travel partners
(eg, hotels, car rental); to loyalty points sold to merchants, banks and passengers; to income
generated from advertisements. The most common and leading sources of ancillary revenue are
à la carte offerings such as baggage fee, seat assignment fee, seat upgrade fee, early boarding fee,
onboard sales, etc. Ancillary offerings have further evolved to now include additional fees such as
in-flight entertainment, Wi-Fi, carry-on bag, etc. Further growth opportunities are numerous,
as discussed in this report.

Ancillary fees were originally intended to provide a revenue boost for airlines, especially given the high
profit margins (up to 80%) from such fees. However, as they have gained popularity they have become
a core component of an airline’s financial health. Ancillary fees have allowed airlines to thrive in a price
sensitive environment, with some airlines generating more than 40% of their total operating revenue
from ancillary fees (Fig 4). This new business model has proven to be highly successful and has led
airlines to look for additional opportunities to monetize services.
We believe ancillary revenue got much more attention from the airline industry when a growing number
of low-cost carriers (LCCs) and ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCCs) started penetrating the market. Over
the past several years, these lower-cost players have grown their worldwide market share to ~31% in
2018 from ~16% in 2006, in terms of seat capacity. Increased fuel price volatility has also influenced
the focus on ancillary revenue, given fuel has typically been the largest cost bucket for airlines.
LCCs historically sold unbundled fares, which allowed passengers to buy a seat and choose any value-
added products or services for an extra cost. By comparison, full-service carriers (FSCs) or legacy
airlines typically offered bundled fares, which included a seat as well as several complimentary
offerings (eg, baggage, food, drinks, etc) even when some passengers didn’t really need everything.
The rising of the LCCs forced FSCs to rethink customer segmentation, resulting in unbundling of fares
at the FSC level. While FSCs continue to offer bundled fares, they are also offering unbundled fares to
compete head-to-head with LCCs. The best examples of non-seat products and services sold for extra
cost resulting from fare unbundling at FSCs include baggage, onboard food and drinks, and loyalty
points. Fare unbundling with lower ticket prices and à la carte services for extra price makes travelling
affordable for price-conscious customers as well as stimulating demand while allowing others to pay
extra for more comfort and convenience.
IdeaWorksCompany and CarTrawler recently projected industry ancillary revenue at $93bn in 2018,
including $65bn from à la carte services. To put things into perspective, the estimated US$93bn
ancillary revenue would equate to more than US$21 per passenger (at a very high margin) and
account for 11% of airline revenue. Interestingly, ancillary revenue would also equate to roughly 50%
of airline fuel cost, providing another strong source of natural hedge against fuel (existing sources
being fare increases and fuel surcharges). These calculations are based on the International
Air Transport Association’s (IATA) estimates for passenger traffic, fuel bill and airline revenue for 2018.
IdeaWorksCompany and CarTrawler further noted that the level of ancillary revenue, particularly
à la carte, varies with LCC penetration in a region. For example, Europe (including Russia) leads the
world on ancillary revenue with the highest concentration of LCCs in the region, followed by Latin
America (including Caribbean) and North America. Asian airlines currently underperform their global
counterparts on ancillary revenue.
Below, we analyse the ancillary revenue trends and opportunities for 19 airlines under our coverage
universe across North America, Europe and China.
