India has been attracting massive global attention and investor interest for the past few months. The latest is European plane-maker <keyword id="6356166" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Airbus">Airbus</keyword>, which is banking on <keyword id="6354321" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bengaluru">Bengaluru</keyword> for new business ideas for its aircraft programmes. It is for the first time in its 46-year history that the company is seeking ideas from startups across the world. Airbus already has an engineering centre in Bengaluru.<br /> The company’s first stop outside its French base is <keyword id="4823" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Hamburg">Hamburg</keyword>, <keyword id="87" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Germany">Germany</keyword>, while the second would be the <keyword id="6357722" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="silicon-valley">Silicon Valley</keyword>, making it the latest global company to cash in on growing number of entrepreneurs in Asia's third largest <keyword id="34412" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="economy">economy</keyword>, as per an Economic Times report. <br /> The initiative is part of Airbus' business accelerator programme called <keyword id="2879641" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="BizLabs">BizLabs</keyword>, under which it would select business ideas outside its French base and mentor them. <br />
	 

	Till now, it has only scouted for ideas within the group. The only level where it has engaged with other companies is for supply of plane parts or technology. <br /> “What is the weakness of a big group like Airbus when we talk about innovation? We believe that we have better ideas than the rest of the world. We believe that we know because we control the technologies and platforms. The world has shown us in the car industry, the space industry and the hi-tech industry that this is not true. And we need to be open to others' ideas and others' innovations," said its global CEO <keyword id="627085" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Fabrice-Bregier">Fabrice Bregier</keyword> recently.<br />
	 

	"I think in Bengaluru—with what we know and what we have already invested, especially on systems innovations—we can come up with very good ideas," he said, adding that platforms in both locations (Hamburg and Bengaluru) may be set up in 12 months.<br />
	 

	Meanwhile, technology startups in India attracted investments of over $1 billion in January-March, up two-fold from the same quarter last year. <br />
	 

	Bregier gave the example of a telecom company which works on "ultra narrow band" systems which isn't normally useful for Airbus. But the application is really efficient in testing whether doors are locked while on tarmacs. "This is small, this is cheap but it is such a thing nobody cares for within Airbus," he said, stressing on importance to look for ideas outside.<br />

The 10 most important things in the world right now

<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div><p class="source">Pascal Parrot / Getty</p><p class="caption">Fabrice Bregier is loving this.</p></div>TOULOUSE, France, Jan 31 (Reuters) - <keyword id="6356166" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Airbus">Airbus</keyword> has studied alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for its next jet, the A350, and has time to adapt to any rule changes prompted by the problems that have grounded <keyword id="6357957" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Boeing">Boeing</keyword> Co's 787 Dreamliner, its top executive said.</p>
<p>Airbus plans to use lithium-ion batteries on the A350, similar to the technology incorporated in Boeing's 787 airliners, and so far has stood by the modern power packs.</p>
<p>"We studied the integration of these batteries on the A350 very carefully," Airbus Chief Executive Fabrice Bregier told a group of French aerospace journalists on Thursday. "I am very relaxed about this."</p>
<p>The first U.S. grounding of a new model of passenger jet in over 30 years has focused attention on the risks that lithium-ion batteries can overheat and ignite a fire that is harder to put out than most flames, because of the solvents involved.</p>
<p>Airbus warned about the risks of lithium-ion batteries at a closed meeting of airlines in March 2011, according to a presentation first reported by Reuters this week.</p>
<p>"We identified this fragility at the start of development and we think we resolved it about a year ago," Bregier said. "Nothing prevents us from going back to a classical plan that we have been studying in parallel."</p>
<p>He did not provide details, but some aerospace industry sources caution that a redesign of the batteries could require months of engineering work and tests to obtain certification.</p>
<p>"We have a robust design. If this design has to evolve, we have the time to do that," Bregier said. "If it has to change in a more drastic way because the authorities reach the conclusion that the technology is not mature, then we have all the time we need to do this on the A350 before first delivery in the second half of 2014."</p>
<p>The head of the company that makes A350 batteries, France's Saft, told Reuters earlier on Thursday he did not believe there would be a radical rethink by aviation regulators on the use of lithium-ion as a result of the 787's problems.</p>
<p>It is the first time Boeing or Airbus has used the technology in designing commercial passenger jets.</p>
<p>POWER BOOST</p>
<p>Lithium-ion batteries are a third lighter than their older nickel-cadmium counterparts and are also capable of supporting other electrical systems that make the plane lighter. They take up less space than the nickel cadmium batteries used on most jets.</p>
<p>Experts say the 787 relies more heavily than the A350 on electrical systems instead of traditional hydraulics to control brakes and other systems, and therefore needs more power back-up.</p>
<p>The head of the National Transportation Safety Board said after a press conference last week that the lack of a fire-fighting system in the 787's battery compartment, which also contains flight electronics, was one area being examined.</p>
<p>Airbus has declined to say whether the A350 would include battery fire extinguishers, but industry sources say burning materials would instead be expelled outside the plane and that the fire hazard is reduced by electronics also provided by Saft.</p>
<p>Saft declined to comment on the A350 battery design.</p>
<p>Boeing's 787 batteries are supplied by French defence electronics company Thales, which sub-contracts the lithium-ion cells to Japanese company GS Yuasa Corp.</p>
<p>A year after intense global publicity surrounding wing cracks on its A380 superjumbos, Airbus is keen to avoid a public split with its commercial rival on safety issues. But after sending a public message of support to Boeing on the 787 this month, Bregier exhibited frustration at growing speculation over the saga's impact on the A350.</p>
<p>"I'm not going to give any lessons to Boeing. At the same time, I don't have to take any either, when I think we have done well and have a plan which allows me to have aircraft flying with batteries that don't catch fire," he said.</p>
<p>"Let's allow the U.S. authorities to come up with their own recommendations and decisions."</p>
<p>Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney said on Wednesday the U.S. planemaker was "narrowing down" the potential causes of the two battery incidents that led to the 787 grounding.</p>

While Boeing Faces Crisis, Airbus CEO Is 'Very Relaxed'

<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div><p class="source"><keyword id="6356166" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Airbus">Airbus</keyword></p><p class="caption">The Airbus A350 in testing in Toulouse.</p></div>BLAGNAC, France (AP) — Airbus said it was confident its planes would not encounter the same technical problems afflicting archrival <keyword id="6357957" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Boeing">Boeing</keyword>'s 787s, even though they use the same kind of batteries that have this week raised security concerns.</p>
<p>The company may nevertheless be affected eventually, experts say. If investigations show that authorities had approved parts for the 787 that turned out to be deficient, Airbus may face tougher tests when it tries to launch a new plane this year.</p>
<p>Boeing Co.'s 787s have been grounded by governments around the world, including in the U.S. and Europe, because of fears the airplane's lithium ion battery system was unsafe. The batteries in some cases swelled and leaked, creating a fire hazard under the cockpit, where they are stored.</p>
<p>Airbus's new A350 wide-body jet, a rival to the 787 that will make its first flight around the middle of the year, also uses lithium ion batteries, but in a different setup. That means it is unlikely to face the same problems as the 787, Airbus said.</p>
<p>"We are confident our design is robust" and "don't see any reason to change," Airbus Chief Executive Fabrice Bregier told reporters after announcing that deliveries in 2012 reached a record high. Despite the rise, the deliveries were still less than Boeing's, making the Chicago-headquartered company the world's largest plane maker.</p>
<p>Bregier noted the A350 requires only half the battery power of a plane like the 787, which is the first commercial aircraft to make extensive use of batteries to drive its electrical systems and be fuel-efficient.</p>
<p>"There are some architectural differences and the suppliers are different," Bregier said. "As Boeing said, the battery is not the issue, it's the way you integrate it to the power system."</p>
<p>Airbus has had its own share of technical problems that have delayed the rollout of a key military aircraft, costing billions in extra costs, as well as security issues concerning the wing ribs of its superjumbo A380 jets.</p>
<p>Bregier and his fellow officials at Airbus avoided any smug remarks over their rival's current troubles.</p>
<p>"It's not our place to give Boeing lessons, we've had our own problems in the past," Bregier said. "I honestly wish all the best to my colleagues at Boeing to put this aircraft back in flight. I don't bet on the difficulties of a competitor in order to build Airbus' success."</p>
<p>Industry experts warned against assuming that Boeing's troubles could help Airbus, even though shares in its parent company, EADS NV, have been rising this week as Boeing's have been falling.</p>
<p>That's not just because airlines are unlikely to cancel orders en masse without yet knowing the cause of the error, but also because an investigation in what caused Boeing's battery problems may throw up new regulatory hurdles for Airbus.</p>
<p>Sandy Morris, an aerospace analyst with Jefferies in London, noted that the 787 had been flight tested for thousands of hours. That it reveals problems now may lead authorities to conclude that the certification process had not been tough enough.</p>
<p>"If the authorities get more stringent and take more time to certify planes, the first to be affected is going to be Airbus, which happens to be the next major company launching a plane, (the A350)," Morris said.</p>
<p>Airbus expects the A350's inaugural flight to be just before or after the Paris air show in June.</p>
<p>Despite the problems that Airbus has faced and a weak global economy, the company booked a record 588 deliveries in 2012 while taking in 914 new orders for jets. For 2013, it plans to increase production to deliver more than 600 aircraft and expects orders for at least 700 jets.</p>
<p>The results were not enough to match Boeing, which for all its current troubles, regained the crown of biggest airplane manufacturer in 2012. The company delivered 601 last year, the most since 1999.</p>
<p>The two companies have been competing neck and neck for years, rushing to roll out new models that might appeal most to global airlines.</p>
<p>Among commercial planes, Boeing bet big on the 787, dubbed the Dreamliner, and its appeal as a high-tech and fuel efficient model. At a time of high oil prices, that was a big selling point with airlines, many of which were trying to cut costs. Airbus is focusing instead on size — the new A380 is a double-decker that seats 525 people and is so large some airports have to be adjusted to accommodate it.</p>
<p>The two companies are also challenging each other in legal arenas. They are locked in an international trade dispute with the World Trade Organization in Geneva, each claiming that the other receives illegal state subsidies.</p>
<p>Airbus' fortunes have been mixed in recent years. Until 2012 it was selling more planes than Boeing but it has also run into more technical problems, notably with the A380. It sold only nine of those superjumbos last year.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, chief salesman John Leahy pledged he'd get at least 25 orders for the massive A380 jets this year and expects to deliver 25. Airbus sold only nine and delivered 30 last year.</p>
<p>Bregier said the cause of the technical problems affecting the A380 had been found and a solution was being put in place for the nine airlines currently flying the giant aircraft.</p>

Airbus Isn't Worried About Using The Batteries That Are Plaguing Boeing

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Airbus</span></p><p class="caption">Left to right: Bombardier chairman Pierre Beaudoin, Airbus CEO Tom Enders, Bombardier CEO Alain Bellemare, and Airbus COO Fabrice Bregier.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><ul><li><strong>Airbus has acquired a 50.01% equity stake in the Bombardier C Series program.</strong></li><li><strong>The deal could lead to future success for Airbus and Bombardier.</strong></li><li><strong>Challenges include the C Series as an orphan in the Airbus lineup.</strong></li><li><strong>Other potential problems are trade tariffs levied by the US Department of Commerce. </strong></li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/airbus-bombardier-c-series-boeing-tariffs-us-2017-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><br />Airbus shocked the aviation world with the acquisition of Bombardier's prized C Series</a> airliner program. The deal, announced last Monday, saw Airbus take a 50.01% equity stake in the program with zero upfront cash investment.</p><p>(Airbus is expected to acquire the entire C Series program within five years.)</p><p>The general reaction among industry observers was that Airbus has pulled off the deal of the century.</p><p>The union certainly offers a lot of upside for both parties. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/airbus-owns-bombardier-c-series-jet-pictures-2017-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bombardier's C Series</a> gains access to Airbus' procurement program, sales, and marketing expertise, as well as its customer support network. At the same time, the Airbus tie-up provided a crucial lifeline for Bombardier when the future of the C Series program seemed to be in jeopardy.</p><p>For Airbus, it just gots its hands on a multi-billion dollar jetliner program for pretty much free.</p><p>Unfortunately, a successful future for the Airbus-Bombardier union is far from certain. There are several factors that could cause big problems for the deal. </p><h2>The problems of being an orphan</h2><p>A major part of the deal will see the C Series included in the Airbus sales operation. For both Airbus and Boeing, it is important to be able to market a family of aircraft. Unfortunately, the C Series will be a standalone or orphan in the Airbus lineup, a hurdle it and Bombardier will have to overcome. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Airbus</span></p><p class="caption">A Bombardier C Series jet and an Airbus A320neo.</p></div><p></p></div></div>"We have the 737MAX 7,-8,-9, and -10. We have a family," Dr. Dinesh Keskar, Boeing's senior vice president of sales for the Asia Pacific and India, told Business Insider. "You talk to others and they'll tell you that family has a lot of value."</p><p>For Boeing, this means the 737 MAX comes in four distinct variants capable of efficiently carrying anywhere from 138 to 204 passengers. As a result, a family of planes allows airlines to take advantage of the synergies created by filling a wide variety of needs using the same set of pilots, mechanics, and spare parts.</p><p>In addition, it allows Boeing to incorporate clauses into sales agreements that allow customers to switch to larger or smaller models should market conditions change.</p><p>"Typically, most deals are centered around a single model like the 737MAX 8," Dr. Keskar said. "But to have the comfort in the contract to say they can move up to the -9 or -10 or down to a -7 is a very big deal for the airline board and CEO."</p><p>"Does this sway the deal? Maybe not, but does it make a significant impact in their thinking? Absolutely," the Boeing executive added.</p><p>For Airbus, its A320 family of planes has been one of the most successful in aviation history. But with the C Series in the fold, the smaller end of the single-aisle Airbus lineup will consist of the 110-seat CS100 and the 130-seat CS300 while the larger end of the spectrum will be the 240-seat A321neo.</p><p>As great as the C Series and the A321neo may be as individual aircraft, they can't deliver the same type of synergies as aircraft from the same family. After all, the C Series and the A320 series will remain aircraft designed and built by two separate companies with completely disparate design and engineering philosophies.</p><p>"<span>The CSeries is a great complement to the current Airbus lineup," an Airbus spokesman said in a statement to Business Insider. "Filling a market need for 100-150 passenger single-aisle jets that Bombardier estimates at 6,000 aircraft over the next 20 years."</span></p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Airbus</span></p><p class="caption">A Bombardier CS300.</p></div><p></p></div></div>This is something Boeing itself dealt with some more than a decade ago.</p><p>Following a 1997 merger with McDonnell-Douglas in 1997, Boeing was left with the task of selling the defunct brand's final product, the MD-95.</p><p>Boeing went to great lengths to incorporate it into the company's lineup including renaming it the 717-200. Unfortunately, Boeing was forced to pull the plug on the project in 2006 after just eight in production and 156 aircraft sold. According to Keskar, one of contributing factors to the 717's demise was the fact that it was an orphan in Boeing's lineup. Incidentally, the people who bought aircraft remain extremely happy with it and are actively looking to acquire more of them on the second-hand market. </p><h2>Boeing and tariff challenges</h2><p>And then there are the potential tariffs. As part of the deal, production of US-bound C Series jets will move from Montreal, Canada to the Airbus plant in Mobile, Alabama.</p><p>Airbus and Bombardier believe this is a valid workaround to bypass any potential import tariffs levied by the US Department of Commerce. Over the past few weeks, the DOC has proposed that a 299.45% tariffs be added to every C Series jet imported into the US. This comes as a result of a Boeing complaint that alleges Bombardier used Canadian government subsidies to sell Delta 75 C Series jets at "absurdly low" prices.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Wikimedia Commons</span></p><p class="caption">A Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 717-200.</p></div><p></p></div></div>During its latest earnings call, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg made it clear that his company's complaint was based on its belief that Bombardier had an unfair advantage. </p><p>"These are not actions targeted at customers or countries, these are matters of fair trade," Muilenburg told Business Insider. "We are happy to compete, we just want everyone to play by the same rules."</p><p>However, it is also possible the Department of Commerce could see the production shift to Mobile as a means to circumvent the tariffs. This could result in additional penalties levied on the C Series.</p><p><span>"We can't speculate on the future actions of other parties," Airbus said.

Airbus' deal of the century may not be as great as it sounds

The best low-cost airline in the world is taking on Amazon and international banking

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>REUTERS/Fabian Bimmer</span></p><p class="caption">Etihad CEO James Hogan (R) with Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Since its founding in 2003, Etihad Airways has managed to storm its way to the forefront of the airline industry.</p><p>This week, the airline's parent company - Etihad Aviation Group - announced that long-time CEO James Hogan will step down from his post later this year. </p><p>Hogan, who became the airline's CEO in 2006, is credited as the man who oversaw Etihad's meteoric rise from a 22-aircraft regional airline to a global aviation conglomerate with equity in more than half a dozen international airlines and a fleet of 700-plus aircraft.</p><p>The departure of James Hogan is certainly a blow to the company.</p><p>With that said, Hogan's departure doesn't necessarily serve as a signal of impending trouble at Etihad, as much as a confirmation that the era of explosive growth at the airline - and its fellow Middle Eastern mega carriers - is over.</p><p>Etihad was not immediately available for comment.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>AP</span></p><p class="caption">Etihad CEO James Hogan.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Over its short time in business, Etihad has made the flashy acquisitions,  garnered the critical acclaim, and showed off its flying palace in the sky. Now it's time to settle down and focus on life as a big-time international airline. In that respect, Hogan and his team have put Etihad in a good, but not perfect position. </p><p>Here are some of the challenges Etihad must face down.</p><h2>Partners for better or for worse</h2><p><span>Over the past few years, Hogan has embarked on an ambitious equity acquisition spree that has seen Etihad take substantial ownership stakes in a series of "partner airlines." This includes 49% of Alitalia, 29% of Air Berlin, 49% of Air Serbia, 24% of Jet Airways, 20% of Virgin Australia, 40% Air Seychelles, and 33% of Swiss-based Etihad Regional.</span></p><p><span><span>(In September 2016, these partner airlines along with Etihad Airways and its accompanying subsidiaries were reconfigured to form Etihad Aviation Group.)</span></span></p><p>In theory, Hogan's partnership concept makes a tremendous amount of sense. Investing in or taking over struggling airlines in advantageous markets for pennies on the dollar while simultaneously growing Etihad's global reach is strategically sound. In addition, this approach also allows Etihad to enter potentially hostile markets free of political opposition and without the need to launch an operation from scratch. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bribri/12600798763/in/photolist-kcuot6-iqM8Vx-61dnQa-ekKgk6-8cyk9X-pB8asZ-iqLAnA-dfEZ39-8cymEM-8cBEgb-cL1PLU-7Whg4g-crFLc5-61LT5R-cgnXdG-ofWQ6B-acWy6j-cgnX8y-ghMHqn-nCNvnV-eanA55-23qCYP-497rRf-6vRkMx-e97AiT-e97AJx-6u1WvQ-ntw51r-89mdU3-ekKghX-oimVVa-okJcvs-7JEzcg-7JEzck-7dVn7T-aCwVF9-6ETqAZ-e97B9i-89zZzd-6EXuPC-8qwNnf-opvZ3P-c4Mscb-66j5Le-e97y6Z-e97yyD-e97zGi-e97zde-9LYCze-8r5MaH">Flickr/BriYYZ</a></span></p><p class="caption">Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ER.</p></div><p></p></div></div>In practice, the partnership strategy is much more complex. Some have worked out well for Etihad. For instance, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/etihad-air-serbia-airbus-open-skies-2016-6">Air Serbia has relaunched and become a solid feeder</a> into the Etihad network. The investment in Jet Airways has helped Etihad unlock the potentially lucrative Indian market. While Virgin Australia has become a viable competitor for Qantas. </p><p>However, Germany's Air Berlin and Italy's national carrier, Alitalia, have not fared so well. Both airlines were acquired to help Etihad increase its reach into the prized European and trans-Atlantic markets, and to a certain extent they have done exactly that. But, operationally, Air Berlin and Alitalia have continued to bleed money.</p><p>So, what happened?</p><p>On the face of it, the $2.35 billion Alitalia investment seemed like a solid deal. For the cost of a few Airbus A380 superjumbos, the company acquired a major airline with a fleet of 100 planes, Hogan once said during an interview Business Insider. </p><p>"These two investments have turned out to be sort of Etihad biting off more than it can chew," Airways senior business analyst Vinay Bhaskara told Business Insider.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>AP</span></p><p class="caption">Air Serbia Airbus A330-200.</p></div><p></p></div></div>According to Bhaskara, there are two types of reclamation projects that tend to succeed in the airline industry. The first is an airline that's underperforming simply because it's "making boneheaded strategic errors" to the point where the airline is essentially its own worst enemy. These are easier to fix because they tend to be in good markets with good fundamentals. Thus, a management change should do the trick, Bhaskara said. Jet Airways falls into this category.</p><p>The second is an underperforming airline that's government owned or struggling with an incredible amount of internal dysfunction. These turnarounds can be successful if an outside force such as Etihad is "handed the keys to the kingdom" to completely tear down and rebuild the airline after making wholesale changes. This is exactly what Etihad was able to do at Air Serbia, Bhaskara added.</p><p>Technically, Air Berlin and Alitalia should have gone into this second category. Unfortunately, Etihad was never given the chance to implement the same type of full rebuild as Air Serbia.</p><p>With Alitalia, Etihad brought in new management, revamped its product, and improved its service. However, many of the old problems that plagued the "Old Alitalia" still plague the "New Alitalia" today. According to Bhaskara, one of the major issues the airline ran into was the powerful labor unions that prevented Etihad from making the drastic changes they needed to make the airline profitable.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>AP</span></p><p class="caption">Alitalia Airbus A330.</p></div><p></p></div></div>According to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/43179318-d1aa-11e5-92a1-c5e23ef99c77">Financial Times</a>, the last time Alitalia generated an annual profit was 2002 - one year prior to the founding of Etihad Airways.</p><p>At Air Berlin, Etihad ran into similar challenges with organized labor. In addition, the two airlines faced legal challenges in Germany over their ability to sell tickets across one another's networks.</p><p>Bhaskara believes the struggles at Air Berlin and Alitalia served as a catalyst for Hogan's departure from Etihad.</p><h2>Cheap oil is bad for business</h2><p>While most airlines love periods of low fuels prices, it's a major problem for Etihad and its fellow Middle Eastern carriers Emirates and Qatar Airways - also know as the ME3.</p><p>Even though Etihad and the rest of the ME3 have become world renown for their top-notch customer service, lavish appointments, and incredible first class accommodations, the airlines actually depend on offering large numbers of affordable economy seats to fill their planes and makes ends meet.</p><p>Traditionally, the ME3 has been able to be competitive by undercutting its rivals in terms of price while offering a more premium experience in exchange for a slightly longer flight. (Almost all ME3 flights either originate or end at their Persian Gulf mega hubs, meaning most flights tend to be longer.)</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>REUTERS/Tobias Schwarz</span></p><p class="caption">Emirates Airbus A380.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Cheap oil makes it difficult for the ME3 to beat its competitors on price. When fuel prices are high, ticket prices are high. As a result, the discount that Etihad and the rest of the ME3 can offer is higher in terms of total dollars. With lower ticket prices industry wide due to cheaper fuel, the ME3 now have to offer a greater percentage discount to have the similar effect on customers.</p><p>"As human beings, we are conditioned to judge absolute price differences as opposed to relative price differences," Bhaskara explained. "A 10% discount on $900 seems more appealing than a 10% cut on $700. We're more likely to see an airline charging $810 versus $900 as a good deal than an airline asking for $630 as opposed to $700."</p><p>Consequently, Etihad, Emirates, and Qatar Airways' ability to price competitively versus its rival legacy carriers have been greatly eroded.</p><h2>The Trump Card</h2><p>The ME3's greatest critics are the US trio of American, Delta, and United Airlines - also known as the US3.</p><p><span>The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/middle-eastern-us-airlines-dispute-future-of-air-travel-2015-7">US3 allege that the explosive growth experienced by Etihad and its fellow Middle Eastern </a>carriers have been fueled by more than <a href="http://www.openandfairskies.com/press-releases/statement-partnership-open-fair-skies-emirates-route-newark/">$50 billion in unfair government subsidies</a> over the past decade.</span></p><p>"We've done nothing improper. We've created a great airline, with great service, created value, and the accounts are audited by one of the top accounting firms in the world," Hogan said in a 2015 interview with Business Insider.  "I don't know what the problem is."</p><p><span>The US carriers also claim that continued expansion of the ME3 into the US will lead to the loss of domestic aviation jobs. As as result, the US3 contend that the ME3 are in violation of the Open Skies bilateral agreements that govern air <keyword id="6354692" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Travel">travel</keyword> between the US and foreign nations.</span></p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hollis Johnson</span></p><p class="caption">Etihad "The Residence" first class suite.</p></div><p></p></div></div>The US3 petitioned the Obama administration to reevaluate and renegotiate the Open Skies agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.</p><p><span><span>In July 2016, representatives of the UAE and Qatari governments met with members of the Obama administration to discuss the matter. However, no concrete results emerged from those talks.</span></span></p><p>With President Trump and his America First initiative in full swing, the US3 will once again ask the federal government for assistance in regards to the ME3. During its latest earnings call, American Airlines made it clear that it will ask the Trump administration to take action against the Middle Eastern trio.</p><p>All in all, Etihad is in the midst of a period of great change. The favorable fare environments and easy untapped markets are fewer and fewer. However, the partnership airline model installed by Janes Hogan, while troublesome at times, may be the key to its future success. </p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/inside-donald-trump-personal-boeing-757-private-jet-2017-1">Check out the Boeing airliner President Donald Trump is trading in for Air Force One</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="8yZGw3OTE6rqL5lvJwtAZaq8cWy4ApI1" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
