Safety is at the top of the agenda, and as the biggest airline in the world, how you take safety to the next level? 🔹Sir Tim responded about the money made this year, at 12% net margin, and shows the operating model gives confidence that low margins don’t have to be measured only in the industry (6-9% margins of the past).

We need the OEMs and supply chain to come with us'...'they have had it never had it as good, as far as what is coming at them in terms of demand, we just need delivery.' Concerns about the OEM and supply chain were raised with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 maintenance issues for Virgin causing pain. It means reliability needs further cost, and challenges the business model. It requires a focus on customers first. #Airlines #IATAAGM #safety #SupplyChain
