Fleet Planning

Seabury APG has a proven track record of building and refining sustainable airline revenue models that underpin successful strategies. Another key element of a successful airline business model is optimizing the composition and utilization of a carrier’s fleet. Seabury APG professionals understand the complex interactions between network and fleet planning allowing us to drive the optimum fleet solutions to maximize an airlines’ economic performance.

In addition to hands-on relevant experience, Seabury APG professionals use our proprietary Fleet Planning/Assignment tool, APGFam, to quickly assess the potential implications of various fleet strategies such as the introduction of new and /or replacement aircraft types. Seabury APG is uniquely qualified to assist with all aspects of Fleet Planning, including:

• Quantifying short-term benefits of reassigning a carrier’s fleet
• Deploying the right size aircraft on specific routes/segments
• Appropriate utilization given specific aircraft operating costs
• Value of dropping worse aircraft
• Assessment of optimal fleet composition
• Analysis of break-even replacement economics
• Fleet purchase support

Seabury APG brings experience gathered from fleet planning engagements conducted for numerous airlines over the last 15 years. And when coupled with our unique set of analytical tools, it’s easy to see why Seabury APG is recognized as a global leader in fleet planning and analysis.

The Seabury APG fleet planning value proposition is simple—Deliver great value through a combination of industry expertise, analytical techniques, data and proven tools. Recognition of this value is evident in the fact that many of our airline clients retain Seabury APG for multiple fleet related projects based on the success of the initial engagement. Factors contributing to this success include:

• Quick delivery of usable solutions: Our vast experience allows Seabury APG to quickly identify key issues and provide the best solutions by using the right data, tools and techniques.
• Transfer of knowledge and experience: Seabury APG believes in working closely with client staff to transfer our knowledge and experience, which means Seabury APG continues to deliver value long after the project is complete.
• Access to trained and ready personnel: General strategy consulting firms lack the relevant experience, analytical tools and data to “hit the ground running”. Seabury APG’s strength lies in our team’s broad aviation industry experience and deep understanding of aviation issues that translates into immediate added value with little or no spool-up time required.

Seabury APG is ready to help your airline with its fleet planning initiatives.
